Gift Guide for the Traveller

Here is some inspiration for that travel lover on your list…

• Travel Guides-Unless you know a dream destination of the recipient I find the DK Eyewitness Top 10 series is a great appetite wetter.
• Fiction and non-fiction books that inspire wanderlust. Try The Travel Book or 1000 Places To See Before You Die
• Bucket list style books-who doesn’t love a tick off list? Try Swept Away by Wanderlust or Make Your Own Bucketlist
• Packing essentials like empty travel bottles, clear bags and universal plugs.
• Gift cards towards more expensive items like suitcases and important items. But I find it best to avoid the classic gift set of passport holders etc as generally these have to be taken off for security checks-no one wants to deal with that stress!
• Good quality luggage tags however are a great gift! Try Not On The High Street for a unique gift.
• Technological items like backup memory cards or tech tidies
• Maps to travel with…
• Or maps for framing
• Photo printing credits or print some photos onto photo gifts such as canvases or even pillows/cushions.
• Adventure books for journaling, notepads and pens etc to help record all those travel plans and travel memories!
• Travel product sets from their favourite beauty brands
• Travel masks, alcohol gel, wipes are all necessary gifts for the modern traveller!
• Eye masks to get some shut eye on transport. (I have the perfect “beauty” hacks for airplanes which I will share and link in 2024-watch this space!)
• Travel mugs and other items are all great ideas for sustainability! Like reusable straws, cutlery and even ice cream holders!
• Or a travel voucher

Gift Guide for the Disney Fanatic

The perfect presents for the die hard Disney fan…

• A Disney voucher-for shopping online in the UK-or for Disney Plus
• A Disney Plus subscription. If you are a Tesco Clubcard holder check out their great voucher deals.
• Anything featuring their favourite character (all Disney fans have one…just don’t over do it!)
• Disney “Money” (whether its a gift card for Disney parks or a hand printed voucher saying they can spend X amount and you will IOU it)
• Currency, perfect if they have a Disney trip planned.
• Money towards a set experience. If they have a trip planned, check out the Disney sites for tours and experiences and create a voucher for money towards it or if you are feeling generous book it in advance with Disney.
• Packing essentials like clear wash bags, mini toiletries, luggage tags, cute face masks and alcohol gel.
• Disney pins
• An item of their collection ie a particular toy or figurine
• Seriously anything from Truffle Shuffle
• Or whilst you are it Very Neko, EMP, Geekcore…
• Disney board games, these can be very expensive so shopping around is needed but there are some fun options out there! We personally love the Villainous series!
• Or card games can make another fun but generally slightly more affordable present
• Try the Twisted Tales or Serena Valentino’s book series’s
• Mugs, cups and other household items always go down a treat whether from a Supermarket (try ASDA) or Shop Disney
• Or for themed beauty goods be sure to check out Mad Beauty products available online or in Superdrug stores etc

Gift Guide for Chronic Illness Warriors

Treats for the spoonies in your life…

• Books and DVDs that bring the outside world in. Perhaps documentary’s on stunning locations, inspirational films or films with beautiful scenery
• Reusable health care products-heat-able/cold products such as heating pads, hot water bottles etc are always a useful, and often adorable, gift for a person in pain
• TV subscriptions like Netflix or Disney+ to encourage them to rest
• Film scratch-off posters-provides both a sense of achievement and inspiration for the next movie choice!
• Vouchers to make getting out and about easier. Aim for vouchers with long expiry dates which will reduce any pressure and can do gives something to look forward to on bad days.
• Offers of help, a self-made voucher book works great for this with vouchers for lifts, supermarket runs or even dog walks. And you don’t have to spend a penny!
• Fun non fiction books like cookery/baking or crafting provide inspiration of at home activities
• And craft gift sets are a great way of trying something new and keeping the brain busy but without too much commitment
• Finally destressing gift sets and good quality body care/skincare gift sets are great idea for a luxurious treat and a reminder to recharge and look after your body.
