Friends, there are only 90 shopping days until Christmas!

Yes, I know, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have mentioned it. But in the interest of being a good Girl Scout and being prepared (that applies to Girl Scouts as well as Boy Scouts, right?) I thought I would offer some gift ideas for the traveler in your life. Or, some ideas to add to your own Christmas wish list!

This Passport Travel Tote is pretty awesome – durable, with pockets for just about everything, yet small and light and easy to carry – plus a detachable “boarding organizer” that holds plane tickets, ID, and passport. $44.95 from Memorable Gifts.

Sassy luggage tags with attitude put the fun back into wrestling for your suitcase at the baggage carousel. Tags are bright neon colors with messages such as, “Nothing worth stealing here,” and “I’m pretty sure this isn’t your bag.” $9.99 for a pack of six from Wishing Fish.

Keep your compact digital camera safe with the Aquapac Compact Camera Case. Submersible up to fifteen feet, you can even take underwater photos with your digital camera! Great for taking to the beach to protect your camera from the sand. $29.00 from Orvis.

This On The Go iPod Speaker is completely awesome and something I’m going to ask for myself, this Christmas. The iPod itself is housed in a protective case that mounts to a bicycle with an easily-removable bracket. A nylon carrying case is included so you can take your music anywhere. Great for picnics, lounging on your patio with house guests, or any other time you’d like a little portable mood music. $69.00 from Rush Gideon.

Reluctant to wander around barefoot in your hotel room? These Pocket Slippers are for you! Comfortable and flexible, they roll up into a tiny nylon pouch and take up virtually no room in your luggage, carry-on, or purse. $24.85 from Magellans.

Do you ever have that anxious feeling as you’re pulling your suitcase up to the check-in counter, that you’ve packed too much and will have to cough up the excess weight fee?  Worry no longer!  This Travel Luggage Scale will let you know before you even leave home whether or not you should have packed that extra three pairs of shoes. $19.98 from Taylor Gifts.

Tired of trying to figure out the alarm clock in every hotel you stay in? This Harrison Travel Clock is compact, has a glow-in-the-dark face, and has an easy-to-set alarm function. $22.00 from Per Annum Inc.

Concerned about drinking the water? Maybe the stuff coming out of the tap in your hotel bathroom just kind of tastes funny? Get a Portable Water Filter Bottle and have your own filtered water wherever you go. $29.99 from Amazon.
