Fun, Colorful Valentine’s Travel Gifts for Her

Got a special traveler on your Valentine’s Day gift list? Make her trip more pleasant with these take-along items perfect for slipping into her favorite carry-on bag.

Not only is the Flightline Travel Tote available in iguana-patterned vegan leather in Purple Pyramid (purple, of course, playing into Pantone’s Color of the Year, Ultra Violet), its slim minimalist design slips into your carry-on with all of your travel details securely in place, from airline tickets and guidebooks to subway maps and hotel reservations. The zippered front flap ensures nothing falls out, and the gusseted sides make it easy to open to sort through your papers. Interior pockets help keep things organized while the flap design also allows the tote to be folded over an airplane seat pocket (facing the traveler) for additional access en route. Not in love with purple? The tote comes in a black lizard print, also constructed of vegan leather.

Unlike your typical crossbody travel bag made of utilitarian outdoorsy material (we love those too, of course), the anti-theft waterproof collection from Arden Cove includes terrifically stylish full-sized and mini crossbody bags. The classy design allows you to skip packing that second dressy dinner purse, and the Arden Crossbody comes in a travel-perfect selection of colors including cream, gray, navy, maroon and black — with a choice of faux leather or chain straps. Features include a nylon exterior, detachable cut-proof strap, RFID protection and locking zippers. The bag is lined with cut-resistant material and has a waterproof exterior and zipper. Bottom studs keep the material from wearing, while the interior has a D-ring for easy access to keys; a zipper pocket for safekeeping of small essentials like hand cream and lip gloss; eight card slots; a bill slot; two wall pockets for smartphones and passports; and a satin polyester lining. The full-sized Crossbody measures 8.5 inches long, 6.5 inches high and 3.5 inches wide at the base. The Mini Crossbody comes in at 6.5 inches long, 4.5 inches high and 2.5 inches wide at the base.

 London-based perfume maestro Jo Malone created the ultimate portable fragrance: the Jo Loves Fragrance Paintbrush. Spill-proof and sleek, the Jo Loves Fragrance Paintbrush is a perfect 0.6-oz., travel-friendly perfume-to-go available in four heavenly scents: Red Truffle 21, Pomelo, White Rose & Lemon Leaves and Green Orange & Coriander. The crazy-cool gel formula dries almost instantly and holds its scent for hours and hours, whether you’re dashing for your train in London, jetting off to Madrid or crossing on the ferry from Naples to Capri. You can even layer the scents to create a signature fragrance of your own — simply allow one gel to dry before applying another.

Among its elegantly hip clothing line, Los Angeles-based design company Baciano has a fun selection of sweaters, wraps and ponchos soft as clouds and perfect for snuggling into on a long flight. Our favorites: the stylish Chloe Hoodie Top with bell sleeves, and the Nora Aztec Jacket — a long, open cardigan with a fabulous muted geometric pattern. While Baciano’s entire line has a distinctly international vibe, everything is designed and produced in the United States using high-quality materials, right in the heart of L.A.’s Fashion District.
