The Map Pin Junkie's 12 Days of Christmas - Gift Recommendations - Day 3

It's that time of year when we exchange gifts to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or just the joy we feel towards friends and family.

Here we are on Day 3 of the 12 Days of Christmas and today brings us pure luxury in the form of a cashmere wrap from The Travel Wrap Company. 

100% pure cashmere and made in Scotland ($229 US), these sumptuous wraps are the perfect gift for the frequent traveler or the homebody. Imagine snuggling up in this on a cold airplane or zipping through a chilly train station wrapped in elegance! This is the one item on my list I may have to give myself! 

There are lots of colors and looks to choose from, so you are sure to find the hue you want. You'll be hard pressed to find a travel gift that is as versatile as this. Blanket or fashion statement, the cashmere wrap is sublimely useful! If you don't have enough time before Christmas, I am sure an IOU for a cashmere wrap would be just fine. =)
Happy Gift Giving!

The Map Pin Junkie's 12 Days of Christmas - Gift Recommendations - Day 2

It's that time of year when we exchange gifts to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah, or just the joy we feel towards friends and family. Today's recommendation comes from the amazing gang at Moon Guides. 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in another country? Well, Moon Guides aims to prepare you with their Living Abroad In series. The authors of each guide not only 'talk the talk' they have 'walked the walked' of living abroad and provide detailed information on visas, finding work, deciding on housing and more.

One or more of these would be a great gift bundled together for the college graduate with wanderlust, the near-retiree, or anyone with far flung dreams (like me)!

Choose from 19 countries, 2 cities (London and Paris, of course) and get the books in analog (an actual book) $19.99 or digital format $9.99. I can't say enough good things about Moon Guides. There is something about setting off with one of their guides that has always made me feel like an intrepid explorer from the late 1800s, with long skirts, a leather valise, and a parasol. Check out Moon Guides Living Abroad In...and start planning your escape!
