During this holiday season, you and your loved ones deserve some pampering. When big international trips are on hold, make your home a great escape by bringing the gift of travel home. From fluffy robes to supple sheets, treat your favorite jet-setter (or yourself) to these 10 gift ideas for travelers.
Stocking Stuffer Spa Products
Staying at a fancy hotel means sampling spa-quality bath products every time you shower, but you don’t have to relegate these amazing products just to hotel suites.
Share the joy of all over body bliss with a Bath & Body Set by Le Labo and crafted for EDITION Hotels. They’ll cleanse and nourish body and hair and they breathe in the goodness of shampoo, conditioner, body wash and moisturizer that’s been infused with a signature black tea scent.
Or, if your sweetie’s always on the go, stuff their stocking with a travel-size hair and body gift set. Shampoo, conditioner, lotion and body wash formulated with essential oils and botanicals leave your hair and skin naturally nourished and moisturized.
Sleek and Sassy Barware
From Christmas cocktails to mulled wine, making holiday drinks at home is easy and fun. Instead of sipping these concoctions out of tired old glasses, try a playful set of EDITION copper pineapple cups that make every cocktail recipe shine.
More into bourbon? Quality whiskey calls for sophisticated glassware, and bourbon glass set designed for sipping and swirling is what every home bar needs. If craft beer’s your social someone’s drink of choice, pair a six pack of local brew with a set of retro pint glasses featured at the Renaissance Nashville.
Classy Tea Set
Make your favorite tea drinker jump for joy by wrapping up a classically designed, patterned EDITION teapot. Pair it with calming natural teas straight from Relâche Spa at Gaylord Hotels for the ultimate gift set. Choose soothing Cranberry Hibiscus Herbal to get into the festive season or sweet Ginger Peach for anyone craving a taste of summer on a snowy day.
No matter what you brew, a hot cup of tea will enhance at-home spa days or simply help you wind down for the night.
Sweet Treats
Bring hotel turndown service to your bedroom with a box of colorful chocolates curated for The Ritz-Carlton from globally sourced cocoa plantations.
The 25 unique pieces are hand selected for their flavor and beauty, making this curated collection ideal for placing on a pillow at night or under the Christmas tree. Plus, the chocolates’ spectacular colors and diverse taste combinations will wow any chocoholic on your list.
Bath Towels
Instead of making do with small or tattered towels, upgrade your morning routine with a luxurious, oversize Luxury Collection bath sheet. Much larger than a typical bath towel, this absorbent sheet envelopes you in a cocoon of quick-drying, cozy comfort.
With a geometric pattern and 100 percent cotton construction, the bath sheet hangs beautifully on bathroom racks and pairs perfectly with the collection’s hand towels and washcloths.
Scented Candles and Diffusers
Our brains powerfully connect scent to memory, and taking a virtual trip around the world starts with a simple spritz. Add a whiff of decadence to your space with a bespoke home fragrance created for St. Regis and inspired by the balls of Caroline Astor, doyenne of New York City’s Gilded Age society, or use an EDITION reed diffuser to scent your space with citrus, smoke, chocolate, pepper and floral notes.
Gift a pre-wrapped spa candle from The Ritz-Carlton with fruity, floral flavors to brighten someone’s day, or ground yourself with a Rooted candle by JW Marriott and its calming scent of sycamore and sage blended with notes of herbs, cedarwood and sandalwood.
Plush Pillows
Just say no to big-box-store pillows. Your head deserves a cushy night of slumber, and luxurious pillows promote a full night’s rest.
Upgrade your slumber with a JW Marriott hotel-style pillow that blends down and natural fibers to keep you cool, or rest easy on a natural feather and down pillow from St. Regis that’s ideal for any type of sleeper. All deliver a cloudlike hotel bed feeling without leaving home.
Luxurious Linens and Throws
Nothing feels better than slipping into a bed made with a set of crisp, fresh sheets in your hotel suite at the day’s end. Treat yourself and recreate this experience at home by transforming your basic bed into a resort retreat.
Few things feel more opulent than slipping between the silky threads of The Ritz-Carlton’s Frette linen sheets. Or, opt for a soft sateen, Luxury Collection cotton sheet set and a fluffy W Hotels featherbed topper that rejuvenates any mattress.
If you prefer to live on the wild side, channel your inner adventurer and curl up in the warmth of an EDITION faux fur throw.
Cozy Slippers
If it’s been a while since you slipped your toes into hotel slippers, treat your feet to the gift of at-home comfort with this luxe set of open-back, Luxury Collection velour slippers by Frette. Bonus: When the time comes to travel again, pack the slippers and skip walking barefoot on hotel room floors.
Plush Robes
Love curling up in those cozy hotel robes? If you’ve always wanted to bring one home, now’s your chance. Choose a stylish microfiber and terry velour robe by W Hotels that absorbs moisture after a shower and is comfortable enough to wear around the house. Or for cold winter days, opt for a super-soft Westin hooded robe made for lounging the day away.
National Parks Pass
Give yourself the gift of the great outdoors with a National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Pass, which provides access to more than 2,000 federal recreations sites across the U.S., valid for one year from purchase. Have a hankering to see the Grand Canyon? Or itching to hike the Great Smoky Mountains? The wonders of the National Parks will be at your fingertips.
Plus, your whole family — or friends — can reap the benefits: The pass includes entrance for the pass holder (you!), as well as up to three accompanying passengers aged 16 and older in a private vehicle (there is no fee for children under 15).
For a limited time, Marriott Bonvoy members can redeem points for the pass — sharing this unique gift with loved ones.
