While there are so many lovely gifts available, let’s face it, my favourite gifts to give are this book, this bunny, and a little newborn hat/tee from whatever university I happen to be at when a baby is born. So yeah – no real surprises when people see my gift box.

20 Below: Izola Travel Cups

Izola‘s stainless steel collapsible travel cup is the perfect gift for the avid traveller in your life. It’s easy to throw in a carry-on bag whether you’re travelling across the world or off on a weekend camping trip. Two thumbs up for the design and function of this little accessory.
