[trip style = any]
Editor's Note: We're currently trip styling in Palm Springs. We're back at it on Tuesday, but in the meantime, check out the TS Instagram feed for pool and palm tree inspiration.
We usually ask, "What do you buy for the person who has everything?" But perhaps the better question for Trip Styler readers is, "What do you buy for the person who goes everywhere?" We've curated a list of both practical and whimsical gift ideas for stylish travelers. Merry Christmas and happy holidays from the Trip Styler team!

Stephen Kenn Travel Cocktail Kit :: The Don Draper era may be over, but that doesn't mean we can't cocktail in coach. This leather and canvas kit comes with nine bottles, a mixing spoon and a recipe manual with instructions for various drink and trip styles.
Hisy Bluetooth Remote for iPhone Camera :: Never let an outstretched arm ruin a photo again. This cordless, handheld remote connects to your mobile device via Bluetooth for easy, if not shameless, selfies. Also available for Android.
Filson 72-Hour Briefcase :: Carrying a lifetime guarantee from a 117-year-old company, this durable, water-resistant bag is a solid investment piece. And my favorite feature—besides the camo print option—is the strap on the back for sliding over rolling luggage handles.
Bali Beads Wooden Necklace :: Sourced on the beaches of Bali, this tassel necklace comes in multiple colors and materials {wood, stone or glass} and complements just about any outfit. Trust me—I have several of them and I've been known to wear them all at once because you can never have too much of a good thing.
Aduro Apple-Certified 10-Foot Charging Cable :: How often do we find ourselves stooping awkwardly over an outlet trying to charge our mobile devices? This handy charging cable comes in three lengths—up to 10 feet—so we don't have to stoop any longer.
Embryolisse Travel-Size Lait-Crème Concentré :: This French cult product is Chief Trip Stylist Trish's latest travel beauty obsession. A cult product in France, this do-it-all cream is a face moisturizer, body lotion and make-up remover. Bonus: it's gentle enough for baby too.
Heritage Store Rosewater Mist :: The first step is admitting you have a problem. And I might have a problem with floral mists. These hydrating, soothing, toning and energizing sprays are perfect midday—and mid-flight—pick-me-ups. Start with rose and then dip your toes in the waters of lavender, orange and beyond.
Olympic Provisions Royale Salami Sampler :: This might be the most random item on this year's list, but we're big fans of Portland's Olympic Provisions restaurants. When we found out they ship their charcuterie, we knew we had to include it. We're not their only fans; their salami samplers made Oprah's Favorite Things list this year!
Lipault Foldable 2-Wheeled Continental Carry-On :: Ultra-lightweight, durable and easy-to-clean, this French luggage rolls smoothly for easy travel and folds flat for easy storage. Perfect for savvy travelers who live in small spaces.
