Last week we profiled a fab toiletry bag as a wonderful gift for the traveler - and also a great gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthday, etc.
This week, we have more great travel gifts, but definitely on the luxe side. Now, these are by no means ultra expensive, and with the economy in such lousy shape right now we don't even want to THINK about some of the lovely, but outrageously priced travel items out there. But these products are all handcrafted, so we can't classify them as inexpensive.
But for your luxury minded traveler giftee who always appreciate the finest: these are outstanding gifts.
First, the hand tooled leather passport cover - always popular. "But why," you ask, "would anyone want a passport cover?" Great question.
- They're good looking! Ok - that might sound shallow, but we are talking about a gift here.
- And they have two additional pockets for holding contact info, credit cards, licenses, whatever you might want to carry along with the passport.
The leather travel flask - this is just fun - also a great gift for Father's Day, graduations and birthdays. Necessary? Not a bit. Romantic and cool? You betcha. After all, think of all the cool guys (and gals) in the old movies carrying their flasks. And one does get parched, on occasion!
The business card holder (or credit card holder) but this isn't like any other card holder we've seen. This one has been designed in the style of very sophisticated and chic, old cigarette cases. Sporting a hard metal case, and then covered with the finest calfskin - this is one cool card case. And when traveling, one needs those cards to hand out to all the new friends!
The soft cover photo envelope. "What? You take photos on your trips, you don't need to carry any with you!" We beg to differ. Do you have a grandmother - mother - mother in law? Are you any of those? Then you know darn well that photos of children and grands, and nieces/nephews, etc. are ALWAYS carried, and proudly shown. Hm, and with Mother's Day coming up - another fantastic dual purpose gift!
And for those uber organized types that never fail to write down all the wondrous sites they see along the way, along with interesting details and highlights - a beautiful calfskin travel journal. A "must have" for the writer - or anyone aspiring to be.
These travel accessories are all made by the Melkhior family, who have been producing handcrafted leatherwork in Israel since the 17th century. Top quality handcrafted products - family business - we love that!
