A celebration or anniversary? Is she going away for some time and you just wanna gift her something? Are you out of ideas? The authentic traveller woman will LOVE practical stuff, related to travel and adventure, discovery, exploration and auto-dependence. Whatever you choose, apply that practicality and versatility rule – and you’ll be alright with these gifts for her! 😉 Here I present you with some examples for inspiration – enjoy! The MAP theme If she loves traveling, she will LOVE a good map. Possibly (probably!), she already has some sort of map hanging somewhere around the house. If she doesn’t, she needs one! Ver esta publicación en Instagram Una publicación compartida de Dámaris | TRAVELOGRAFA | Travel Adventure Lifestyle (@travelografa) As a child, one of my favourite books in the house was a World Atlas my parents had. I would sit on the floor in the hallway right in front of the bookshelf and open it, daydreaming, imagining the world and the pronunciation of those odd words I sometimes found, learning about geography and topography and where things were as I navigated through those pages full of dreams. I can almost affirm that I can promise you she will spend hours of her life staring at maps, daydreaming about discovering new places, playing over some travel memories, wishing for new adventures. Looking at a map is like traveling with the soul. So she does need to have at least one physical one (no, it’s not the same as a digital one). Maybe something with a map within – some postcard (hand-written! How romantic!), a cover (for her phone, camera, laptop, backpack), a map for her wall, a table cloth, a microfiber towel, some jewelry… anything around the topic. PRO TIP! :  If existent, be mindful with trendy sentences within the design! She may not like trendy trends! ALL-in-ONE tool Especially if she is a bit of a MacGyver, she’ll enjoy one of those multi-tools to fix any or everything. These tools usually have a knife, a screwdriver, a can-opener, tiny scissors… a decent variety of mini-tools altogether. Practical and easy to find. What else could she ask for? I still have an all-in-one tool my parents gifted me close to twenty years ago when I first moved away to the other side of the pond. I absolutely loved -and love!- the gift. Super practical, great to carry, and man, have I given it its use!! Disclaimer: It’s still in great condition! *A lot of people go for the typical Swiss knife – I haven’t personally had one but I am sure they are good too. I am very happy with my non-Swiss one (at least not that brand! No idea where mine is from!). Adaptors A true traveller will always carry with her (when traveling, of course), her adaptors. If she does not have them, then she needs them! Nowadays you can find all-in-one ones, which is pretty neat, as they take much less space in the luggage! Practical and necessary to charge all electronics when travelling internationally!  Portable battery charger How nice is it to be able to charge your cell while on the go, or having the possibility of doing so when there are no plugs around? A super recommendation here are the solar battery chargers! Rechargeable by usb and just by solar power! Practical AND ecological! PRO TIP! : Be mindful that the amperes in the portable battery are enough for the electronics she might use with it! The mini- I think one of the kings or queens of the traveler’s gifts are the mini gifts, such as personal hygiene items. Gels, shampoos, perfumes, mini-brushes, hair products, face soaps and masks… The adventuress who loves to take care of (and even spoil) herself will always, and I reiterate – always – take advantage of these… if not for this trip, for the upcoming one! Recommendation! : Good smells and quality (always quality over quantity!) Activities The authentic traveller will LOVE adventures. So even when she is not traveling, she will be searching for fun activities to do wherever she lives – this keeps her spirit active, and her zest for living and experiencing alive. There are so many websites (depending on where you/she live/s [ask me in the comments below! I’ll give you some links!]) where you could find packs or activities on offer. If she enjoys chilling, spa day is a go-gett(h)er; if she enjoys staying active, maybe some kayaking excursion, abseiling or a new guided dive. If you can afford it, get her a getaway! Don’t worry about all-inclusive or luxury, camping or simple accommodation combined with a nice hike will be luxurious enough! 😉 PRO TIP! : The better you know her, the more on spot you’ll be with the surprise!! Certain clothing apparel Here, it depends a bit on whether she loves filling her closet or tries to stay minimalistic. Translated: more of anything versus only specific items. My thoughts are: underwear, socks, and multi-function pieces will always make her smile! *Underwear. WARNING: Be mindful with this one, as it really depends on the kind of relationship you two have. It can be awkward if you’re not immediate family (parent, child, partner, sibling, grandparent) or her bestie: check cultural context! In many cultures, giving underwear can imply «I wanna see it on», so keep that in mind (and stay respectful and appropriate) before selecting your gift. *Socks. No twists here! Anyone can give anyone

Black Friday

What is Black Friday? Black Friday refers to the fourth Friday of November -right after the well-known holiday of Thanksgiving– in which Christmas shopping commences… yes, in November. This nowadays’ worldwide known day leads businesses to offer remarkable discounts, to finish the year with a raise of sales. Origin The terminology Black Friday was born in Philadelphia, in the United States of America, and has slowly spread like a virus all over the world. In the last decade, it has been the most important sales day of the year. Back in the 60’s, in Pensilvania’s main city, traffic police used the expression Black Friday to describe the multitude and chaos that shopping brought to that day. Some others give its origin to the cash register, as numbers went red before that day, and right after, they would go back to black. More modern versions have tended to relate the name of this day with the unfortunate demises of some shoppers due to the crushing of the mass. In many foreign countries they have opted to avoid translation, afraid of being misinterpreted when not understanding the meaning. Expansion Year after year, the movement becomes bigger, expanding to more categories, to previous and subsequent days. Stores will put their offers up on Friday, may expand it to the weekend or even the entire week. As expected, this event will also take place in the travel industry. This week, I am sure that you will find great travel deals! Travelling Airline companies and hotel chains also join this major deal-day, sometimes offering up to 80% discount in their products. Some of the ones that I would recommend checking are the following*: Ryanair Easyjet Vueling Canaryfly Bahía Príncipe and Booking ([icon icon=icon-arrow-left size=14px color=#000 ]do not forget to use my code, you’ll get a refund of 15 €!) Stores Set in Spain at the moment, I will recommend you some of the commonly known stores (many of them with worldwide or continental reach). El Corte Inglés is one of the pioneer Spanish businesses to participate in Black Friday. Renown store, also with its own brands, that offers a wide variety of products. Some of their most interesting discounts can be found in their technological merchandise. Photography, video and travel lovers will always be grateful. 😉 Other stores: MediaMarkt Carrefour Decathlon Online shopping Amazon is one of the most prestigious worldwide online stores, innovator with its promotions year after year. It has already been offering discounted prices the entire week, including Cybermonday next week. This year, they have also done a countdown, offering products for only 20% of their original price!! Tips Be careful with scams and with compulsive shopping. The best tip would be to focus on what you actually need or want (and no, «everything» should not be an option). Check prices before the big day so you know it is a real offer. When you are buying online, check the veracity of the website, its certificate and the little lock for security; also, check conditions, minimum purchase if it applies, and date of arrival. Now, enjoy the discounts and make this day useful! [clear] *No content or brand have been sponsored.
