Gift Ideas for the Chicest Traveler You Know
12 curated gift ideas for the woman in your life constantly on the go
Good afternoon! I hope those of you located in the US had a wonderful Thanksgiving with lots of good food and quality time with loved ones. My husband and I flew back to Denmark for Thanksgiving, and thus, the idea for this send was born. For the first-ever Fashionably Late gift guide, I wanted to focus on the two very things that inspired the creation of this newsletter: Style and travel.
I personally find it difficult to find travel-related products that are both functional, affordable, and look good. So, the following 12 gift ideas range from $32 to $360 with the vast majority on the lower end of the spectrum. (No Rimowa or Métier!)
P.S. I’m currently struggling with some health-related issues behind the scenes and am therefore posting less frequently. Thank you for sticking with me in the meantime.

Mason Pearson Pocket Brush BN4
I have been lusting for a Mason Pearson brush since I was 15. The BN4 is a mini version of their famous nylon and boar bristles hairbrush.
Aesop Chicago Travel Set
Aesop has a lot of travel sets, but what I really like about the Chicago set is that it comes with three of Aesop’s Parsley Seed formulations and works well with most skin types. This set also comes with a travel pouch which I think is a nice little bonus!
A Guide to Paris by Seasons
Seasons offers a selection of travel books with an emphasis on old-world charm. Their Paris travel guide is like a crossover of an artsy coffee table book and a practical travel guide to the most romantic city in the world.
Ribbed Mohair Blend Cardigan
The one consistent item I always carry with me whenever I travel is a good quality sweater or cardigan. The cardigan pictured above is from TOAST, but Sézane has a similar (and cheaper) one in a wide range of colors.
Custom Engraved Pill Box
I found this gorgeous pill box a couple of months ago on Etsy, and I’m obsessed with it!! It can be customized in a handful of ways, but my favorite is the script monogram as pictured above.
M.M. LaFleur Passport Holder
A practical passport holder with extra pockets for your keys and other important items!
Graphic Image Traditional Leather Luggage Tag
Within the past year, I’ve been reunited with my checked bag twice solely because it had a luggage tag with my name attached. Needless to say, a personalized luggage tag is probably the ideal gift for anyone who travels with checked bags often. This one from Graphic Image can be customized for $15.
Twelve South AirFly Wireless Audio Transmitter
Okay, this is not the sexiest gift guide item, but I think it’s a real luxury to be able to use your own AirPods when you’re watching a movie on the plane.
SLIP Pure Silk Sleep Mask
…Similarly, SLIP’s silk masks are also quite the upgrade from the free sleep masks offered by airlines. Little details such as having my own sleep mask make a huge difference for me in terms of comfortability whenever I’m flying.
Abbode Waffle Pouch
In my opinion, you can never have too many pouches when it comes to packing. The Abbode Waffle Pouch can be personalized with either initials or with one of Abbode’s signature icons.
Comme Si The Merino Chunky Sock
This is such an underrated gift idea, especially for the frequent flyer. Once you’re 35,000 feet up in the sky and your feet are getting chilly, you’ll be grateful you packed an extra pair of warm socks.
Lié Studio Jewelry Box
Lastly, I think this little jewelry box from Lié Studio is so chic. Plus, it doesn’t take up too much room in your bag.
