Have a traveler in your life and have no idea what to give them? An entire trip obviously isn't the answer, but this gift giving guide is!

A lot of people love to travel. Their gift of preference is either a trip or money for a trip. Sound familiar to anyone out there? Here’s the problem. Most people can’t afford to just give someone a trip. Then there are the people who prefer to give a tangible gift over just money in a card or in one of those little gift card tins. Is this you? Do you have a traveler in your life that you always have a hard time buying for? Or are you the traveler that never really knows what to put on your list for others?

Here are some recommendations for the top travel accessories and gifts in my 2017 Gift Giving Guide for the Globetrotter.

1. Scratch the World Map

The Scratch the World Map makes a unique gift for any traveler. If you just want the USA Map, that’s also available. Travelers can keep up with where they’ve been and even frame it when they’re done!

Hope this helps you out with your gift-giving. You can’t go wrong with these ideas for travelers or for anyone really! However, if you still want more ideas, check out all the products I use here. If you notice in the photos, I actually own several of these items myself (or their older/similar versions). The few that I don’t yet have are most likely going to be on my personal Christmas list this year!

Be sure to watch Black Friday and Cyber Monday for the best deals! Happy Shopping!

‘Til next time…

Trimm Travels,

Heather

As we wrap up the last weekend of the holidays, I As we wrap up the last weekend of the holidays, I will leave you with one of my favorite photos I’ve taken. Should be no surprise it’s from NYC! 😍
🎄
Your eye was probably first drawn to the foreground immediately focusing on the greenery and Christmas balls. 
🎄
Sometimes, we have to look past the obvious...you know, the here and now to see all the bright things on the horizon in the future. Trusting and knowing God is in control. 🙏🏻✝️
🎉
That’s what we have to do in our current global situation. Push 2020 out of the way (shouldn’t be too hard for most of us) and look ahead to hopefully a brighter future in 2021! Happy New Year! 🎉🥂 Wishing all of you a safe, healthy, bright year! 🙏🏻

The Empire State Building was beautifully and fest The Empire State Building was beautifully and festively lit when the clock struck 12:01am on December 31, 2019. 
🎉
That day for me would culminate with the clock ticking down to start 2020 watching the ball drop in Times Square. 
🎉
It’s much different this time around. I miss being up in NYC for NYE. I’m very ready to say goodbye to 2020 and hello to 2021! HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
