My family celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas so over the years my husband and I have decided to forgo any major presents on Christmas morning and instead exchange stockings. Not your ordinary candy bar and lottery ticket stockings (however both of those items are usually found in one if not both of our stockings) but over-the-top crazy awesome each-thing-is-better-than-the-next stockings. (I’m sure you’re thinking how do we fit all of this into a stocking…well, we get creative). So in honor of our family tradition, here are the best Stocking Stuffers for the World Traveler.
Plenty of Bendel Travel Trio- I’ve already shared my absolute obsession with Henri Bendel in a past post, so I love to have my slice of NYC with me wherever I am in the world. This perfect trio, which includes a shoe pouch, lingerie pouch and laundry bag, is the perfect blend of luxury and functionality. $48
Socks have always been a stocking favorite for me. Over the years I’ve given and received scented socks, the 1980s scrunch socks, golf socks, yoga socks but this year I will be giving Kent Wool’s 19th Hole Dress socks which feature all of the comfort and technology of Kentwool’s previous socks but are sleeker and more sophisticated in argyle patterns and stripes in bright, vibrant colors. $28
One of my pet peeves about traveling is not having a traditional land line phone to make my calls. I find talking for hours on a cell phone very uncomfortable. Apparently, I am not alone. The Yubz phone plugs right into your phone so you can feel “normal” once again. Not to mention get some pretty awesome glares when you’re driving on the freeway talking into an actual phone. $27.97 www.yubz.com
Exercise on the go is a challenge. The FitKitTRVEL is a simple, sleek, airport security friendly workout solution that can be done anytime, anywhere and allows for people to maintain a fitness program when they are away from their normal routine. It comes with all the tools necessary for a total body workout including a resistance tube, exercise band, jump rope, pedometer and more. Best of al. FitKit weighs under 2 lbs and tucks right into a carry on. So you can have that crème brulee and not feel the slightest bit guilty about it. $34.99

If you’ve ever been caught in the rain, you’ll love The Stylish ShoeCover, an innovative water-resistant shoe cover that turns pumps or ballet flats into boots instantly! The shoe co
vers stretch and conform to flats and heels for a sleek silhouette while protecting them from wet weather. The shoe covers easily slide off the shoes to be placed into a small fashionable and functional bag. They are stylishly crafted from the most versatile waterproof materials available in a variety of sizes, colors and styles. $89.99
One would expect the world traveler to have an exquisite palate when it comes to wines. Rather than risk a wine they’ll turn their nose to, try the cocktail-inspired collection of Brut and Rose Champagne Gummy Bears from Sugarfina. The all-natural sweets are made with real champagne. Cheers! $16
A purse-size perfume (or cologne) is a must for travelers. Thismini Burberry London is the perfect scent for the world traveler and the right size for a week away. Everything on GrandPerfumes.com retails for up to 40% less than major sites! $21.95
Sometimes a cup of tea is the perfect way to relax after a long trip. Aveda’s signature Comforting Tea is 100% certified organic with no caffeine, sugar or added flavors and is 100% calming. $17
