Earlier this month we promised travel-themed Christmas gift guides and ideas, and like Santa's elves, we've been working overtime to make sure it happens!
Last week we wrote about a website dedicated to local activities in 63 cities in North America as our "experience gift"; this week we're featuring wall art for Instagram enthusiasts and the cool Christmas finds below; and next week we'll highlight our travel beauty picks. Before sugar plums start dancing in your head, here's a list of things to buy for others ... and hope others buy for you!
