Did the challenges of 2020 and 2021 bring those you love down? Give them a stories of overcoming adversity all while maintaining a positive perspective on life. WWII Iwo Jima Marine T. Fred Harvey describes his emotional and fascinating wild ride -- a man who has experienced more adventures than most of us can even imagine. Harvey, the son of an alcoholic, abusive father, found a way to adapt.

“Fred has overcome catastrophic wounds from multiple hand grenades that should have killed him,” says one reviewer of Harvey's book. “He even excelled as a track and football coach and mentored so many others. Fred rates as one of the top people in tenacity, perseverance and positive mental attitude.”  To learn more about T. Fred Harvey and his journey, read our article and Sig Christianson's stories of Fred becoming the oldest Marine to finish the Marine Corp Marathon in Fredericksburg, Texas October 25, 2020. 

As one of our absolute favorites of 2023 publications and from one of our favorite authors, consider gifting the #1 New York Times bestseller, a captivating publication from the author of Steve Jobs and other acclaimed biographies. This astonishingly intimate story delves into the life of a rule-breaking visionary, a figure who ushered in the age of electric vehicles, private space exploration, and artificial intelligence. As a remarkable twist, this innovator also took over Twitter, making it a perfect gift for anyone intrigued by the intersection of technology, innovation, and the profound impact of one individual's journey.

5.  For the Patriot or Veteran! Get them a Unique Gift Made in America by a Veteran-owned Company!

Pocket Square Heroes® are the worlds first award and patriotic inspired fashion accessory brand for veterans, patriots, military, and first responders. We love the subdued design, but there are so many to choose from to please your favorite patriot! Maybe they aren't sure how to place a pocket square? Help them out with a pocket square holder!

 6.  For Travelers Who Love to Take Videos to the Next Level Especially Underwater.

Yes there are newer GoPros but we still think the HERO10 Black is the best performer you can get at a great price. 

HERO10 Black is one of the most versatile cameras in the game, delivering all-out speed and ultimate ease. Powered by the revolutionary GP2 processor, HERO10 Black shoots 5.3K video with higher frame rates, 23MP photos, enhanced low-light performance and game-changing HyperSmooth 4.0 video stabilization in all modes.

HERO10 Black/HERO9 Black are rugged and waterproof right out of the box, but this housing handles anything you can throw at it. It protects from dirt and flying debris, and it’s waterproof down to 196ft (60m) for deep-water diving.

Choose from four digital lenses in HERO mode to get the shot. Capture video and photos in Narrow, Linear, Wide and Max Super View-the widest view yet. Take PowerPivot selfies, action shots and vertical pics-all with a level horizon.

For less expensive and other alternatives, look at the other version GoPro's:

GoPro HERO8 Black transforms adventures into incredible QuikStories right on a phone. With its all-new GP1 chip, next-level video stabilization and 2x the performance, looking good has never been so easy. Add voice control and a durable waterproof design, and HERO8 Black is the ultimate GoPro for sharing life as you live it. The HERO8 has improved battery access which was desperately needed!

The latest of the GoPro Hero9 Black is one of the best GoPro yet. The key addition to this newer model is the front-facing color LCD screen, which allows you to frame yourself while vlogging, when used as a webcam, or just for selfies. The resolution gets a boost too, with a 20 megapixel stills capability and a 5K video shooting. The latter will be overkill for many, but it also allows 14.7 megapixel grabs from video, which could be hard to resist. 

At 2.27-inch, its rear display is larger than that found on the GoPro Hero8 Black, and its Hypersmooth 3.0 video stabilization system – unique to this model – is unbeatably smooth. Thanks to its removable lens cover there’s also an option to add a Max Lens Mod accessory to the Hero9 Black, which will bring a few GoPro Max-style features including 360º horizon lock and an ultra-wide 155º Max SuperView mode. Either way, even the ‘basic’ Hero9 Black is a thoroughly advanced piece of kit.

7.  AirTags

You must of heard of "Luggage Gate 2022." The problems are still not solved! With the contraction of Airline staff, labor shortages and personnel strikes worldwide, piles of luggage were sitting for days without anyone to connect them back with their owners. Apple released their AirTags before that and who knew at the time what a lifesaver they would be for so many travelers. Use AirTags to track your luggage, loved ones (yes this can be helpful when traveling in case you get separated!), purses, wallets keys, pets and more. The reason AirTags work so well is that whenever a person with an iPhone gets close to your AirTag the network displays the tag's location. We use these to hold our AirTags in a discrete location in our luggage and we transfer these to whatever we need to track once at our location. 

Not an iPhone user? Samsung has the best trackers because they also use the Samsung network to ping your tracker and display its location. 

8.  Our Favorite Purchase of 2023 with over 20,000 5 Star Reviews!

Bose upped its game with flagship headphones that boast class-leading and augmented reality technology so you can fully tune out the world around you.

One of the newest from Bose are the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. They are impressive. With 11 distinct levels of noise cancellation you can make adjustments based on your environment and how much you want to disconnect from the area around you. At a minimum, the headphones are almost invisible, allowing in ambient noise as though you aren’t wearing headphones at all. Each increase in the noise-cancellation feature subtly decreases more audible distractions, up to and including complete silence. Imagine the sheer bliss of tuning out every screaming baby and chatty seatmate on your next long haul flight. Don't want to plug into the plane's movie system using their provide headphones but would rather use your own bluetooth headphones? Invest in a AirFly.  Or want to watch a show with someone else and each of you use your own bluetooth connected headphones (how great is this for traveling with children?!), invest in the AirFly Duo. The AirFly is on our Black Friday list this year! 

9.  Help Protect The Outdoor Traveler from Harmful UV Radiation while Keeping them Warm!

We all know the traveler who stays active and travels to cold locations! Unfortuanately there aren't many brimmed hats to wear in the cold! Help them keep the sun off of their face while staying warm with Trailheads! This comes in multiple colors!

10.  We don't know about you, but now that we are back out and about, our sunglasses are getting dirty again!

We saw this at a festival in California and were so impressed that we knew this would be a great stocking stuffer recommendation for our followers. Smitty's Glass Wax is a wax that repels dirt & keeps glasses clean for weeks. It is perfect for both Prescription Glasses, Sunglasses, Phones, Tablets, Watches, Rings, Gameboys, Portable GPS, Monitors, LCD TV's & much more! 

11.   How Cliche! But He will LOVE The Allett Original Wallet

Don't let your favorite Dad be a victim of identity theft when traveling!  The Allett Wallet has so many features that we love: RFID protection, water resistant, lightweight, colorful and slim! Help him avoid that "fat wallet syndrome" with this highly rated wallet that is a great price too! Check out our full video review at YouTube:

12.   Show our nation's veterans that you stand with them so they know that some is there when they see you with apparel from Grunt Style.

For those seeking a unique and spirited gift, Grunt Style offers a compelling option. Their apparel isn't just about style; it's a statement of attitude and values. Grunt Style has instilled the indomitable American spirit into every piece, making it the ideal choice for anyone who cherishes freedom, bacon, and whiskey.

Whether as a gift for a veteran or a passionate patriot, Grunt Style's clothing conveys a powerful message of unwavering support for American ideals. Give the gift of attitude and values with Grunt Style. Get a women's version here.

13. Compression socks are always needed for the Traveler by Plane, Train or Automobile!

These are our new favorites for price, quality and effect!  Fear of "economy class syndrome" is more common than ever as airlines aim to fit more seats on planes at the expense of leg room.  Click here to learn about the definition, who is at risk, symptoms and treatment. BUT you should always ask your medical provider about your personal risk and what you should do for prevention!  We always wear compression socks to reduce ankle swelling ourselves!  Treat your favorite traveler to a great pair of socks to make them smile!  Multiple patterns are available including solids, strips and other designs. Not sure how and why to wear these?  Check out our video full of tips for using compression socks including how to put them on:

14. We Were so Happy with Our DJI Osmo, We Bought a Mavic Mini 3 Drone!  These are flying off the shelves!

It's was just released and is receiving rave reviews! If they're new to drones, the new Mini would be a great place to start. It would also make for nifty gift for your kid, due to the low cost and ease of use. Just remember to follow Federal Aviation Administration guidelines that don't allow flying higher than 400 feet, in crowded areas, over people's heads or oncoming cars. The drone is so light, at .54 pounds, that it falls right under the FAA's requirement for recreational users of drones to register their device. (The legal minimum is .55 pounds.) 

15. Most Travelers Rely Upon Battery Technology for their Daily Charging Needs but not all Power Banks work for Laptops or other Large Electronics

Planning on using their laptop while on the road? A small portable charger might be fine for keeping their smartphone and wireless earbuds charged, but they will need something a little bigger to help their power-hungry portable laptop and tablet stay juiced. A large power bank, like this one, can charge a rapid charge a laptop or tablet multiple times. PowerHouse 100 has 27,000mAh of charging power to ensure over one complete charge for the 2020 MacBook Air and a significant battery boost for other laptops. Depending on battery size, most smartphones will get over 4 full charges with tablets also charging at least once.

The built-in AC outlet uses a pure sine wave inverter to ensure the power output is just as good as what you get at home. This comes with a 45W wall charger and USB-C to USB-C cable so you have everything you need to recharge PowerHouse’s internal battery.

16.  One of the MOST Popular items in a Large Online Travel Community

The reimot luggage cup holder lets them fly through the airport without spilling their drink all over themselves! 

17. Great Looking and Durable RFID Money Clip Wallet - Luxury at a GREAT price

The Ridge Wallet grew into one of the most popular minimalist wallets on the market, spawning countless knockoffs and competitors. There’s a good reason why. After testing out several slim, minimalist wallets over the years, we’ve eventually come back to The Ridge Wallet as our current wallet of choice, because of it's ease of use. We’ve worn through lesser minimalist options in just a few months, where The Ridge Wallet barely showed its age or use after more than a year of daily use. And with a LIFETIME GUARANTEE, you can't go wrong! 

There are less expensive alternatives to the Ridge wallet that we've heard great reviews about from radio personalities. 

18. A Stylish and Elegant Travel Cardigan to Wear on the Plane or as a Coverup at Their Destination

Want to give them a cozy travel cardigan but don't want to spend over $100 on a Barefoot Dreams style? This highly-rated and cute lightweight travel cardigan has lots of colors and lengths available. We love the pockets for stashing items when out and about! And the price is sure to please your wallet! 

19.  Get Them One of the Best Anti-Theft Bags for Travel or Home! 

If they’re looking for an anti-theft bag for use in a hotel or inside a backpack, PacSafe's bag is a step above the rest. Lock this bag to the bed frame at a hotel and it won’t get up and walk away; the cable is cut resistant, even if would-be thieves bring bolt cutters. A great choice for hostels or other open housing styles, they can rest easy knowing that without the lock combination, no one will be accessing this bag.

It's great for home or travel allowing them to keep prescriptions, valuables, or documents out of the wrong hands!  See our full review here: 

20.  Embr – Help them Fall Asleep with Warm or Cool Sensations

Too hot or too cold—either one can make sleep a challenge, and everyone has their own temperature preference. The right bedding can make a difference, but for a more high-tech approach, give them the Embr Wave bracelet. It stimulates the inside of their wrist with warm or cool sensations, helping make the rest of the body comfortable when it’s time to drift off into slumber. And the best thing for us?  You can take it with you wherever you go!  Silver and rose gold finishes are available but there are some different color replacement bracelets purchasable!

21.  Our Favorite Carryon Backpack is one of the Most popular WORLDWIDE! 

 
We love Cotopaxi!  It's made in the USA and is one of the lightest carryon bags you will find!  It's tough to use a backpack that weighs a lot before you even start packing.  That's where Cotopaxi 42L comes in!  This pack is perfectly sized for carry-on convenience, loaded with well-designed features, and tough enough to handle years of use.

If you're worried it may be too big for them, go for the 35L size.  

 

For those that want a larger backpack, we invested in a 55L Eagle Creek Backpack this year. It has hit the road with us many times and fits in most overhead compartments. 

22.  A Lightweight Solid Shampoo and Conditioner for All Types of Hair

We always carry solid toiletries for our carry on only trips because they weigh less and don't need to be placed in your liquids bag.  One of our personal favorites is the HiBar brand.  They are eco friendly and the shape makes them easy to use and get to the roots of your mane! Regular, moisturizing and volumizing versions are available!  Tip: A half bar will last for at least a month, so you can cut them in half and take in only one container. 

23.  One of the most enjoyable times on a vacation is capturing selfies!  They are fun and for groups, have a meaningful closeness! 

Our favorite selfie stick extends to about 4 feet and has multiple attachments for Cameras, Cellphones or GoPro.  What we love about this selfie stick is the tripod, and the quick release clip lock system that is fast, reliable and easy to use. 

24.  Give a Pair of Comfortable and Versatile Waterproof Boots for Winter Travel!

Our readers always are recommending boots from Sorel as being perfect for traveling in the colder months. The leather and suede design of the Sorel Emelie Chelsea Boot with the soft microfleece lining will keep your feet cozy and warm, no matter how chilly it gets. Our readers particularly like these cold-weather boots for traveling to more extreme winter destinations, such as Iceland. One blogger says she spent two weeks in Iceland when it was hit by the biggest snow storm in 40 years, and her Tivoli boots kept her toasty and dry. Several colors are available to find the perfect pair for them!

25.  Every Woman needs THAT ONE COMFORTABLE Pair of Earrings for Travel!  Give Her a Pair of Travel Inspired Earrings! 

Dainty and comfortable! These airplane earrings, crafted from 925 sterling silver and available in various finishes, serve as a symbol of one's dreams taking flight during their journey, making them a meaningful and unique gift choice.

Encased in a beautiful gift box, these earrings are a thoughtful present for anyone looking to convey their best wishes and aspirations to a loved one.

26.  Home or Away, Everyone Needs a Safe Place to Keep their Valuables!

As you venture back onto the beach, rental homes or the pool, a portable safe is so important.  As you can tell from this post there are many forms to consider.  The Master Lock portable safes is one of the most economical options for gift giving! The Master Lock 5900D Set Your Own Combination Portable Personal Safe features durable construction made to withstand abuse and is water resistant. The safe measures 2-1/5in (57mm) H x 9-2/5in (23.9cm) W x 5-1/10in (13.1cm) D; and is ideal for recreation, campus, office, travel or leisure use. The safe includes a cable to wrap securely around a fixed object or use as a carrying handle. The Limited Lifetime Warranty provide peace of mind from a brand you know and can trust.  One feature we love is the ear bud/charging cable access port that allows the user to charge or use their devices while they are securely stored for on-the-go enjoyment.

27.  For the Traveler who Loves Yoga and Stays Fit Home and Away

Perfect for the globetrotting yogi or workout buff, the Toplus Yoga Mat is compact, non-slip, and tiny enough to fit in even the smallest travel bag. It's made of eco-friendly suede and comes with a one-year warranty. We love to workout while on the road or while staying home during the pandemic and this mat has been one of our go to pieces of equipment!

28.  Jet Bag USA FLAG - The Original ABSORBENT Reusable & Protective Bottle Bags

Traveling with wine-or other liquids-is a tricky prospect at best. Heightened security and restrictions mean your wine purchases end up in your checked luggage. How do you protect your wine when your suitcase is thrown on to luggage belts and jostled inside airplanes? Top selling Jet Bags are the answer! The JetBag is the perfect way to transport wine (or any other liquids) in your suitcase when traveling. A resealable, recyclable and reusable carrier with a zip top closure, the JetBag completely secures your liquids.

The JetBag is also a great way to transport liquor, perfume, vinegar-any liquid contained in a breakable bottle.

29.  We've been seeing these all over Instagram: Barefoot Dreams Throw Blanket

They can take it with them or use it at home, we tried the Barefoot Dreams throw blanket—and it’s just as good as Chrissy Teigen says!  This has been dubbed the "softest blanket ever," and after trying it, we agree!  This sells out often at Nordstrom but Amazon usually has some in stock! 

The only thing we don't like about the blanket? The fact that it's ruined us for all other blankets. It sounds cheesy—and trust us, we cringe writing that—but it's true. Even the throw that we had previously dubbed our softest throw doesn't compare. The other thing we don't love is the high price point but, as you'll see below, we do think the Barefoot Dreams blanket is worth the splurge. If you have sticker shock, try another highly-rated alternative: 

30.  Give Them Something Close to Their Hearts...Literally: Kardia Mobile 6L

In our eyes Kardia is the textbook example of technology shaping health care, empowering and supporting not only e-patients, but medical professionals as well. So, let’s take a look at their newest creation, the KardiaMobile6L! Compared to the Apple Watch, which only provides a 1 lead EKG (don't get us wrong, that is great!), Kardia Mobile 6L gives what medical providers are used to seeing, a 6L EKG. We use this ourselves and love the portability of this little unit!

31.  People are More Homesick than Ever these days!

If you’re traveling somewhere for awhile, can't go home, or moving to a new state, it’s nice to have things that remind you of home like these Homesick Candles. Made of soy wax with a 60-80 hour burn time, you can enjoy the scent you miss whenever you want.

There are so many options to choose from, including states like Montana, regions like Southern California, or specific cities like Boston or Miami, and many more. Newer options are countries!  Maybe you want to remember the location of your favorite trip like France!

32.  Diversion Safe Hairbrush!

There are many reasons to be cautious when they travel. If they carry extra cash, jewelry, or other small items that they don’t want out in the open, a diversion safe like this hair brush with a hollow core can be the perfect solution. It’s a great gift idea for people who stay in hostels, who prefer not to use a hotel safe, or those who just want to be discrete.

33.  For the Anyone who Carries Tension (who doesn't these days???) or Experiences Pain

Getting a post-flight massage can beat jet lag, improve circulation, and release tension. If they can’t make it to the spa, these palm-sized firm massage balls act like a portable foam roller to work out the knots and loosen tight muscles in feet, hips, back, shoulders, legs, etc. They could use a tennis ball, but the crevice in the middle of this design is more comfortable to use around places like the spine and come with a handy carrying bag. 

34.  For the Traveler who Wants to Organize, Fit More and Keep their things Clean and Dry

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our compression bags for travel.  And HiBag is our favorite brand because of the sizes they offer and the quality. This is one item that we will not leave home without. A vacuum is NOT needed with these.  Wonder what's the best way to use them? Watch our Video Below!

When traveling internationally a dual voltage hair appliance is necessary!  Otherwise the one they bring may get short circuited and stop working!  We love this lightweight mini hair straightener for its versatility and ability to use internationally.  

41.  Still our Favorite Travel Pillow!

Having tested numerous travel pillows, BCozzy remains our top pick! With three available sizes for both children and adults, we adore its soft, versatile design that offers exceptional neck support no matter how we position it. We recommend size Large for most Women and Extra Large for Men.

The detachable, hard-to-cut chain strap and hook add another layer of protection to help prevent pickpockets by wrapping it around his wrist or securing to a belt loop while in his pocket. Don't let your favorite person be a victim of identity theft when traveling!

48. A Great gift For the Coffee Lover

For anyone who appreciates a good cup of coffee on the go, consider cold brew as a portable and vacuum-insulated solution. It's the modern take on traditional iced coffee, offering a smoother, naturally sweet taste with 80% lower acidity. Using cold water to steep coffee, as with the Asobu cold brew method, also gives it an extra caffeine kick. What's more, this process preserves antioxidants, making cold brew a healthier and more natural choice. It's the ideal gift for those who need their daily coffee fix, whether they're heading to work, the gym, or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation.
