What do you take with you whenever you go out on vacation? Are there essential items that you can’t do without? Perhaps your loved ones will appreciate them as well. Each person will have their own priorities but there are some things that many share in common. Below are just a few ideas about what you can give out as Christmas vacation gifts for yourself or for others:
Pen and Journal
Christmas vacation gifts, don’t let thoughts keep swirling in your head. Capture them so they won’t bother you anymore. Put them in writing so that you are forced to crystallize your ideas and make them actionable. This will reduce your stress and anxiety. It will also help you get organized and productive. For many, the journal can contain the things that they are thankful for. It helps them stay positive even when dealing with so many problems. Find a good size and layout for your purposes. Get a reliable pen with smooth writing action.
Power Bank and Cables
There’s a good chance that you will be carrying a phone and other gadgets. These are essential for communication, work, and entertainment these days. You won’t always be near an outlet when their batteries run low so you better take a power bank with you. Make sure have all of the cables and adapters that you need as well.
Wireless Earphones
Wireless earphones can be handy when you want to perk yourself up with music or games but you don’t want to disturb other people. You can also use these to zone out in a crowded bus or train on the way to your destination. You can listen to a podcast on a plane while you close your eyes to pass the time.
Thin Card Wallet
Place all of your IDs and credit cards in a thin card wallet to take up minimal space inside your bag. This should take care of your retail transactions while going around. You may also use up a slot for a few folded bills in case of emergency.
Travel Bathroom Kit
Most people will have a few pieces of personal hygiene products in their bag. At the very least, they might bring a tiny bottle of hand sanitizer. This is helpful for preventing diseases especially now that we are dealing with a pandemic. Others may also bring a bottle of mouthwash, a toothbrush, and dental floss. Women are likely to carry sanitary napkin or a similar item for their periods. It might also be worth your while to carry a travel bathroom kit for those times when you are forced to use public toilets.
