1. Book of the Month Club
There’s a reason Book of the Month Club is still going strong over 90 years after it was founded. The club has a history of spotlighting debut and emerging writers whose books end up being American classics (think Ernest Hemingway and Margaret Mitchell) and that same knack applies to their selections today. Give three, six, or 12 months of books, which the recipient will be able to select themselves. As an added bonus, you’ll get a free month for yourself.

2. Context Travel gift certificate
We are preachers of the giving experiences rather than things gospel and stuffing your loved ones’ stockings with Context Travel gift certificates is a great way to do that this year. The customizable voucher can be used in any city Context offers tours, which are led by highly experienced and educated docents, and can be purchased in the amount of your choice. Even better, your gift voucher will be emailed to you within 2 business days.

8. Turkish towel
Anything multi-purpose shoots straight to the top of our must-have list. When it’s stylish, too? Let’s just say we might buy one for everyone on our list. This year, Turkish towels are topping our list of travel must-haves. Why? They’re super light and absorbent, but dry fast. They can be used as a travel towel, a pool towel, a wrap, a scarf, or a sarong – and they get better over time! Thanks to the unique properties of Turkish cotton, they get softer and more absorbent with each wash.
