Wanderlust Gift Guide For The Traveling Soul

Happy Holidays everyone! Although 2020 hasn’t necessarily been anybody’s “it” year, there are a number of things that we can look back and smile about over these last 12 months. For me, it was spending quality time with my loved ones. The holidays are the perfect time to show one another how much you truly care. Whether you’re filling a stocking, engulfing the bottom of the tree with presents on Christmas morning, or simply giving a warm hug (alternatively the firm covid-approved elbow bump) or exchanging a friendly smile – there are so many different ways that you can show your love this holiday season. Personally, because one of my love languages is gifts, I think it’s the sweetest thing in the world when you receive something that is thoughtful, personal, and creative! This holiday season I am providing ya’ll with the ultimate Gift Guide collection. There are a variety of personalities out there so I wanted to give ya’ll ideas for every type of person in your life! We all have our wine connoisseurs, coffee fanatics, live-in-your-jammies work from home peeps, traveling gurus, tech junkies, HGTV obsessed, pet lover friends, and more. I hope you all find everything you’re looking for this holiday season, but most of all I hope that you take the time to appreciate your friends, loved ones, and those around you. If this year has proven anything at all, it’s that we all need to stick together and spread kindness, love, and gratitude. Now round up those reindeer and put your santa hat on ladies and gentlemen. Happy Gift Guide Shopping!

With travel restrictions starting to lift and people getting the bug to see the world again, I believe these are some travel essentials that you just can’t live without! From riding in the plane to organizing your documentations as well as packing, these are all some essentials that will make your next trip a breeze. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do! With all of the moving parts in our life, both my husband and I trying to run two businesses and balance taking care of our kids, people always ask me how I escape. How do you press the reset button? Clear your head? Find peace? Feel happy again? There is always one word that comes to mind. TRAVEL. I feel the most joy, the most free, and the most myself when I am exploring new places and learning new things. Whether I’m going on a local weekend staycation, embarking on an adventure across the country, or dreaming of the unlimited experiences that simply traveling can bring; it is something that never fails to bring me back to center. When we continue forward and reflect on what truly matters in life, we find ourselves realizing that humans never really lose the desire to connect. To love. To live. I hope you enjoy these little gift suggestions perfect for your globe trotting friends and family!
