The British Travel Gift List
Pop these items on your letter to Santa
I can’t believe another year has gone by and it’s time for my annual gift list. Here’s what I’m wishing for this Christmas…
Elizabeth Scarlett Everyday Pouch, £32, elizabethscarlett.com
I recently treated myself and upgraded my wash-bag with an Everyday Pouch from Elizabeth Scarlett. You can use them for everything from travel bags to evening bags and they are just gorgeous. Next, I’m after a matching make-up bag.
Dyson Supersonic hairdryer, £299.99, dyson.co.uk
I tried one of these on a recent stay at Raffles at the OWO and OMG, they are amazing. Who knew a hairdryer could be so good? Admittedly extremely pricey, it’s on my Christmas wish-list, in the new Blue Blush.
Retreev SMART tag, £14.99, Retreev.com
I’m not very high-tech when it comes to travel gadgets, but that’s going to change with this easy-to-use smart tag, from British brand Retreev.
Smythson luggage tag, £90, Smythson.com
I love Smythson and even though I can’t afford a travel bag from the brand, I might splash out on this leather tag, in Panama.
Ground Wellbeing Sleep Pillow Spray, £22, groundwellbeing.com
Beat jet lag on your travels, or sleepless nights at home, with this lovely lavender and rosewood pillow spray from Irish company Ground Wellbeing.
Rhug Wild Beauty travel gift set, from £60, rhugwildbeauty.com
Rhug Wild Beauty uses organic and foraged ingredients from Rhug Estate in North Wales. They have a range of travel sets which would make a perfect gift.
Cotswold Knit Broadway Snood, £46, cotswoldknit.co.uk
If you don’t want to carry around a giant scarf, then these lambswool snoods from Cotswold Knit are perfect, as you can stuff them in your pocket when not wearing.
TBGC leather gloves with cashmere, £118, cecipaolo.com
Everyone should have one pair of posh gloves and these luxury leather gloves are lined with cashmere, from The British Glove Company, at Ceci Paolo’s emporium.
Great British Bucket List map, £14.99, marvellousmaps.com
I love these Marvellous Maps. You can get everything from Bucket List Britain to Wildlife, Films and TV and Literature guides to the country.
Hand Picked Hotels gift voucher, from £50, handpickedhotels.co.uk
Another great gift idea are these gift vouchers for everything from spa days to afternoon teas, cocktails to overnight stays, with Hand Picked Hotels.
