When you ditch your wife and kid for a week to go off to Estonia in the middle of the winter, you better bring some cool stuff back. Luckily, it's pretty easy to find interesting gifts from Estonia. I managed to get a variety of low-cost presents that gave them a taste of what the country is like.
And I mean "taste" literally. As you can see, I mostly brought back food. Estonian cuisine has ...Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Dec 14th, 2012 at 9:00AM: After many trips around the world with a baby (we'll board our 40th flight next week to Brazil), I've seen all manner of products labeled for travel. Many of them are too bulky, heavy or otherwise impractical when you are already dealing with a squirmy child, diaper bag, carry-on, and stroller, but I've discovered a few things that can make travel easier and collected many of them on Pinterest. ...Gifts For Travelers: Consider The Person, Place And Travel Trends
Dec 10th, 2012 at 3:00PM: When it comes to gifts for travelers, there are a lot of choices. Leisure travelers, those who commonly associate travel with fun, vacation time and new places have their needs. Business travelers are a different story, often looking at their frequent trips to the same place as work and a hotel room their office. Adventure travelers and others have their own priorities as well. Each has different ...Gadling Gift Guide: Tech For Travel
Nov 27th, 2012 at 8:00AM: From keeping us entertained on a long flight to helping us stay connected with friends and family while on the road, technology has had an undeniable impact on the way we travel.

If you have a traveler ...Giving Or Receiving, Cruise Travel Bargains Plentiful This Season
Nov 21st, 2012 at 3:00PM:
Cruise lines always seem to have a sale of some kind or another going on. But when we talk about buying a cruise at this time of year, it's a matter of "Do you want to go on a cruise or do you want to give a cruise as a gift?"
Going on a cruise over the holidays can easily take care of everyone on the shopping list. Many families choose to cruise on holiday sailings just for that reason, if ...Kiwi Cool: Shopping For New Zealand-Made Souvenirs
Sep 20th, 2012 at 9:00AM:
When you go to the other side of the world, you want to bring back a few things to show for your trouble. Visiting New Zealand with my 1-year-old daughter, and with nephews at home in America, I became obsessed with finding them something actually made in the country. A stuffed kiwi bird or lamb toy, a merino wool baby blanket, or a fun T-shirt would do nicely, and I wouldn't mind some jewelry ...Gifts From Abroad: What To Bring Your Family When You Come Home
May 4th, 2012 at 11:30AM:
My wife and I travel a lot, sometimes together, sometimes separately. We both have careers that require us to travel and while it can be tough to be apart, at least we have the regular ritual of seeing what gifts from abroad are popping out of each other's suitcases!
My wife just came back from an astronomy meeting in Tokyo and brought back this haul of loot. The Japanese are masters of ...Gadling Gear Review: Heat Holders Socks
Feb 23rd, 2012 at 8:00AM: I suffer terribly from cold feet; it's why I don't cheap out on socks. It's also why I have one of those electric heater mats on the floor under my desk (a gift from my mate who sometimes just nails the gift giving with weird yet supremely likeable prezzies). Socks are way low on the scale of glam gear down with quick-dry underwear and refillable three ounce bottles, but they're essential, and ...Gift Guide for Warm Weather Adventurers
Nov 29th, 2011 at 8:00AM: As December approaches and the holiday season draws near, those warm summer days that we enjoyed just a few months back are already a distant memory. But no matter what the calendar says, I guarantee the adventurer on your shopping list is already plotting his or her next warm weather escape. Considering summer really is just a short plane ride away, here are some suggestions for what to buy them ...SkyMall Monday: Anniversary Gifts
Sep 26th, 2011 at 1:00PM: Last week, my fiancée and I celebrated our two-year anniversary. We met and went out on our first date on the same day (I work fast). We're getting married next Spring, so we'll soon have a new anniversary to celebrate. Do we stop celebrating our initial anniversary date? Do we celebrate both anniversaries? How does that work? Anyway, it was obviously a festive week at SkyMall Monday ...How to be a good house guest when visiting a friend abroad
May 16th, 2011 at 12:00PM: If you ever have a friend living abroad or meet someone traveling who extends you an invitation to come to their city, take advantage of the opportunity and go visit. Seeing the city with the help and knowledge of a local or native is invaluable, especially if they know you and your point of view, plus it can save you money in travel expenses (see more reasons to visit a friend from Mike Barish, ...Valentine's day gadget gifts for romantic travelers

Jan 6th, 2011 at 10:30AM: Well, Epiphany actually, but in Spain this is when we give presents. Christmas in Spain is a time for big meals and family fun, as well as church services for those who are so inclined. Santa passes Spain by to deal with the Anglo and Germanic countries, and Japan from what I hear. Spanish children wait for Los Reyes, the Three Kings, who come on their camels bearing gifts for good little boys and ...Winter holiday celebrations in Russia
Dec 31st, 2010 at 4:00PM:
In most of the western world, Christmas and Hanukkah have come and gone, but in Russia, presents are being wrapped in anticipation of tonight, New Year's Eve. In the days of the Soviet Union, religious celebrations were frowned upon, so Russians shifted their winter celebrating to December 31 and combining the traditions of gift-exchanging and New Year's revelry into one night. In the Russian ...Galley Gossip: Snow globes, gifts, packing - just a few tips for travelers this Christmas
Dec 22nd, 2010 at 9:00AM: 1. LEAVE THE SNOW GLOBE AT HOME: This time last year I asked a TSA agent in Dallas about the craziest thing he'd ever seen. I won't lie, the answer shocked me, which is why I won't repeat it here. Then he then went on to complain about the number of snow globes he'd collected. For the last few years snow globes have been on the list of banned carry-on items due to the fact that they contain an ...Galley Gossip: Gifts for flight attendants (and travelers)
Dec 16th, 2010 at 9:00AM: A stun gun, Xanax, travel massager that glows in the dark, ten foot pole for not touching things with, these are just a few of the things my flight attendant friends want for Christmas. What, not your gift-giving style? Okay so perhaps one of these will do....
1. PASSPORT COVER - In this day and age you might not want to advertise your country of origin. Not to mention it's kind of fun dressing ...Top Bon Voyage gifts

Renewal ...Top five best carry on bags for travel gifts
Dec 9th, 2010 at 11:30AM: If you're looking for a gift for a traveler this year, consider getting them a stylish, utilitarian carry on bag. Carry on bags make great travel gifts, because not only are they useful, but travelers are happy to have more than one -- there's nothing more depressing than having no options.
Carry on bags, in this traveler's opinion, need to have a few basic things:

Nov 29th, 2010 at 12:45PM:
Check out Miss March! Email lists across the world are tittering at the Miss TSA Pinup Calendar. We aren't sure where these came from, but they do appear to be real x-rays (says a medical expert friend of mine), and were probably done by a radiologist -- that's why they'd be hitting the medical community first. My medical expert friend (who wishes to remain anonymous) is the one who forwarded me ...
