For The Globetrotter
By Maryanne Murray Buechner
LazarsLuggage.com
True to superstore form, Lazar's offers a huge selection of duffles, carry-ons, wheeled uprights and just about any other form of bag you might want to pack. Shown here: the Ellington microfiber tote.
Ghurka.com
It's not a Bible; it's a travel journal, and it's part of Ghurka's extensive collection of fine leather goods and accessories. Everything here (wallets, garment bags, backpacks and totes) is sumptuous--and very expensive.
UncommonGoods.com
You can shop this site for anybody on your list. We're always finding creative gift ideas here, like this Phone Girl ID case, below, and baseball-size puzzle globe. Be sure to click This Just In under Collections to see the latest stuff.
Magellans.com
This site has everything imaginable for the avid traveler, from the highly practical to the gimmicky and all points in between. These $299 Bose headphones will block out the roar of jet engines and the screams of crying babies--with or without music.
PlumParty.com
Here's entertainment you can take with you. We found Wrapgammon under Gifts to Go on the Plum's Picks main page. Ghurka.com (see above) also sells a delightful backgammon travel set--for $295. This $36 vinyl version suits us just fine.
