Travel Gifts

This time of the year many people are taking trips, so travel gifts make an excellent year end gift choice. So let's take trip Together and see what options you can look at options you can use for this years year end gifts. First of all let's start packing. If you are off to a long trip then you may want take a larger suitcase, but if you can only

get away between Christmas and New year, then you could consider a weekend away bag. Many travelers leave very early in the morning to avoid traveling in the ghost sun. That will make flasks and mug sets and excellent idea, as a cup of coffee early in the morning is just what you need to keep alert on the road. If you are traveling with children a knee blanket is also a great travel gift is a great gift to keep them comfortable while on the road. In fact we have one that even folds up into a pillow. While you a in your car, you can still control a lot, but when you have to do those bathroom stops,that's where it is a

challenge. Not all garage bathrooms a up to scratch when it comes to cleanliness and even if the is a good cleaning schedule, when large volumes of travelers come through, that is when staff can not keep up. This is why we recommend the Journey Hand Santitiser. It means that you are able to keep your hand germ free even if there is no soap in the restrooms. You can also go for anti-bacterial wipes. We tend to use this to clean of toilet seats or tables in picnic areas that are not well cleaned. If you a like us, we have a range of supplements that we take and our children take, but to carry all the bottles with us, just means far too many things inside the cars. So a travel gift like the Paramed Pill and Plaster dispenser is a nice compact and low cost gift that fits easily into a bag or car and keeps your medication on hand and you can deal with a quick scrape of the knee by busy little people. Another great gift is the road trip first aid kit. We all hope for the best, but need to be prepared for the worst. This kit has a glow in the dark kit, which will alert people to you when you are stuck on a darkened highway, a rain poncho (no one wants to get stuck changing a tyre on the side of the road in the rain), a fleece blanket, a mini first aid kit, a dynamo torch (no batteries are needed, so you can relax knowing that it is going to work even when it has been sitting in the car unused for a long time), a reflective safety vest and safety gloves, you help you when you are changing tyres. Travel manicure sets also make a practical gift. If you have torn a nail, you could end up biting on it most of the trip, or you could quickly address it. Toiletry bags make terrific travel gifts. In fact now you can get travel sets. There are ranges of travel kit that have the same designs, so that you can introduce the whole range to your clients. For example, a toiletry bag, a back pack, cooler bag a sports bag. Although they are sold individually, you can build your stray around them. For example, a top clients can get a certain part of the range and new clients another part. Sunglasses and neck pillows are excellent Low cost travel gifts for any

traveller. You may be thinking that sunglasses are a very personal item. However, it is a practical gift choice as so many people end up leaving valuable items behind when on holiday, that they would welcome a cheaper alternative to use for the trip. Previously, I would pack one big cooler bag with everyone's snacks. But then everyone keeps on asking who've is closes to the cooler bag, to get something for them. No on long road trips, I pack a

snack pack in an individual bag for each person. That way, they can each take out what they want , when they want it and no one fights about portions. There are so many great travel gift ideas for year end gifts, that you can't go wrong in terms of variety of choice. Happy shopping.

What are my Favorite End of the Year Corporate Gifts

If I consider the gifts that I have received before there are some corporate gifts which are a firm favorite for me.

I never tire of cooler bags as corporate gifts. They tend to reach an expiry date within a few years, so we have all sorts. When we go to our Weekend seminars I pack a small cooler lunch bag for each of our delegates. So I love to have them in different colours so that no one accidently takes my biltong or chocolate.

When driving to my parents in Port Elizabeth I used to pack one big cooler bag with snacks etc. But then reaching back between sleeping kids does not work, so now there is one for my husband and I and one for the kids. There is less digging for things and the children have more control of their own cooler bag.
But this year I saw the car travel cooler/warmer and I am in love. Less stopping for cool drinks, everything stays at the temperature. I really like that idea for end of the year corporate gifts.

Last year one of our clients ordered beaded wine glasses. I added a few of them for myself. They are a nice fun idea and perfect for the summer braais around the house with friends.

Outdoor chairs may seem like a cliché. But outdoor chairs do not last forever. We had a some great study ones, but with repeated use we needed to get new ones. If someone were to give a picnic set it would need to have a minimum of 4 place settings. I am not in the mood to carry a number of picnic sets because there are not enough plates etc for my family. Currently our holidays are for four. My husband and I ammend the two children. Now we are going to have to upgrade as there will be five of us.

Of course for me personally spa gifts are always a great idea. I like ones with pretty neutral colours so that they can fit into any bathroom.

Bath towels never go to waste, but if they must be branded then choose a colour on colour logo, so that they are more likely to be used. Knee blankets are also a really great idea. Particularly if you have a number of friends round for a Braai and the evening starts to take on a chill and no one else wants to go inside then the guests feeling the cold will welcome something to take the edge of the chill. This is a great corporate gift.

If you are going to do coffee mugs, add a bit of festivity and add some chocolate or nougat to them. If it is nougat, don’t expect to last long in our family, so you would have to send a bumper pack with mine.

Those are just some of my favorite gifts, but there are so many more that you can choose from, so visit our site www.belleregalo.co.za to view some more ideas.
