Promising review: "I love this decanter! It arrived on time and in one piece. It's very light and feels like it could break easily. But it looks amazing and will hold a good amount of alcohol. I was able to poor an entire 750 ml bottle into it with no problem. It also comes with a funnel, which is very helpful. It's a really fun piece of functional art. It makes a great addition to any office." —Hannah

Promising review: "If you travel a lot (or even if you don't), this is such a great and fun product to have. It's made of a sturdy material, and the 'scratch' part is easy to do. Great quality product. Get this, because your kids will have as much fun learning about the world as you did traveling it." —Kindle Customer

My friend got me one of these for Christmas a couple of years ago, and I LOVE it! It's a nice soy wax candle with some amazing smells. For example, France smells like warm, fresh croissants and lattes with a touch of tobacco and lavender. Plus, they have a 60–80 hour burn time, which is a lot since I've only gone through about half of mine in the time that I've had it.
Promising review: "These smell delicious! I got one for my British friend who applied for a visa and can't leave the country for a year. This will help her think of home. She loved it!" —Cassandra

Promising review: "I’m pleasantly surprised by how nice this travel clutch is. The outside is very sturdy and the artwork is so bold and colorful, just like picture. The inside is like microfiber or soft fabric material, so it's very nice. It has two pockets that are different sizes. My iPhone 7 fits in the smaller pocket, and the other one could fit a 7 plus. I bought this for myself, but it would make a wonderful gift." —Kdallas

Promising review: "I received this book as a gift for my 40th birthday. As an experienced long-distance hiker, I am always looking for that next trip to take or trail to dream about hiking. This is the perfect book to sit around with a cup of coffee in the morning and learn about a new trail somewhere in the world to dream about exploring. The photos are fantastic, the route info is just enough to get you to go google up more info, and the writing is just enough to keep you engaged but not bore you. If you have a hiker in your life or someone who enjoys traveling, this is the perfect book." —AG96

Promising review: "I love this cup. I bought it as a gift for a friend you had put it on her Pinterest "I want" list. I took it out of the box and tested it myself to make sure that it worked. It's very nice. But, as you expect, you must pour hot water into it. You obviously can't put it in the microwave, so keep that in mind when you buy it." —Erika

Promising review: "I just got my coloring book this week and think it is awesome. In addition to the fun of coloring, there is the opportunity of learning about the places. I look it up first on the internet to find pictures for coloring ideas and read about its history. If there is a flag involved, I need to identify its colors. It's a great way to combine fun with education." —Jamie Honey

Promising review: "I bought this pin for my friend's birthday, and the elated look on her face was completely worth it. When I opened it from its packaging, I actually got a bit jealous because she was going to have this incredibly made pin.

Promising review: "The perfect Christmas gift for the world traveler, especially when they also do cross-stitch! Well packaged in what I assume to be acid-free paper. Clear printing on the fabric.

Promising review: "This quenches my skin! I am a flight attendant, and you know how dry your skin is after one-day flying. Well, I fly 4-6 days in a row and let me tell you, it can wreak havoc on your skin. This is a must in my bag. It’s also so gentle that I can use it around my eyes, which are the first to show dehydration. I have combo skin." —CaliGalley
Get it from Sephora for $48.
Promising review: "Arguably one of the best coffee table books you can purchase. It will instill wanderlust in whoever has the opportunity to lay eyes on it. The images are absolutely breathtaking and shed light on often lesser-known places of travel. Be warned, not every location is accompanied by a photograph; however, every image is phenomenal. As for the construction of the book itself, it's a hardcover book with a very nice weight. I can definitely see this withstanding the ages." —Rui

I'm pretty pleased!" —Alyssa Kauffman

I've been using the medium-sized duffle bag for the past couple of months now, and let me tell you, I wish I would have bought it years ago. The fabric feels and looks so nice. Plus, you can really fit so much inside. Seriously, I've fit my laptop, iPad, a book, all my toiletries, a crossbody purse, wallet, snacks, and more inside and have still been able to close it. And my favorite part: there's a really convenient small pocket on the outside that fits your phone perfectly. This means I never have to spend a good five minutes searching through all that stuff in the bag to find my phone somewhere at the bottom. I can just grab it and show the TSA agent my ticket in seconds. I've been telling all my friends and family about it and now I know what's one of the top things on their list this year.

Promising review: "This necklace is stunning. Keep in mind that it is TINY. I was surprised by how small it is, but pleasantly so. It's about the size of the nail on my ring finger. I like my jewelry dainty, so I personally love how little it is. The package arrived quickly and was wrapped well. I ordered the rose gold, and the color is true to the picture. I couldn't be happier with this purchase. I would definitely buy this again, and I would highly recommend it. This necklace is truly beautiful and delicate." —Amazon Customer

Go there" and "Write down what you like about this city on a small piece of paper. Leave it where someone else will find it later" to help see your trip in a new and unique way.
Promising review: "This is amazing!!!! I bought this for my husband for a mega trip we have planned this spring. We will be in Europe for 35 days. I read some of the cards, and I cannot wait to use them. The ideas and prompts make you think about doing things that will get you involved in the culture, interact with the people, and engage all your senses. I'm so excited!!" —Sherrie
