It's holiday time. Again! (Every year, faster and faster.) Which means the spirit of giving — and excellent presents for your pals, loved ones, and yourself. We turned the globe upside down to find an assortment of tasty, attractive, and affordable treats. Like an international spice blend. The world's most stylish earplugs. A bespoke leather luggage tag. And more. All perfect wanderlusty gifts for grab bags and stocking stuffers.
Spicewalla Signature Blends
A transportive assortment of artisan spice blends, like garam masala and herbs de Provence, that will spruce up any kitchen arsenal. Made with whole spices imported directly from the source, each mix is roasted and ground by hand. (From $5)

A bespoke leather luggage tag that is both chic and functional. ($22)
Trtl Travel Pillow
You've heard us talk about this year many times for good reason: This is the travel pillow for people who don't believe in travel pillows. Think of it like a head wrap (or head burrito, if you will) that cradles your cranium upright during a snooze. All sleep, no neck pain. As an added bonus, no post-nap dry mouth (it snuggles part of your face, too). As an added added bonus, it looks like a scarf, very much unlike the donut you have been toting. ($30)
Hydrant Hydration Packs
Handy hydration packets combat lethargy after long-haul flights. The secret is in the science: just the right amount of natural sugar to ensure the body soaks up all those critical electrolytes. (From $17)
