As we enter the holiday season, it's understandable if you're already experiencing gift-giving anxiety. I certainly am. With certain people, I immediately know what to give them. With others, I can't come up with anything for the life of me. That's when I turn to my old fallback: travel-related gifts.
Just about everyone travels at some point throughout the year, and many of us don't think to buy useful or chic travel items for ourselves, so it's always a welcome surprise when someone else thinks to. Depending on how well you know the gift recipient, you could choose something everyone needs, such as a passport holder, or something a little more personal, such as something you know they'll appreciate for an upcoming trip they've already booked. I'm admittedly obsessed with travel accessories, so you're in good hands here. I rounded up an assortment of what I think are the best ones to give this holiday season.
