I can't travel without these organizers. While the granddaddy is Eagle Creek, e-bags makes ones in all colors and prints--even an animal print--so you can customize the set to her particular taste.<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.com/eBags-Packing-Cubes-3pc-Aquamarine/dp/B005LXPSHG/ref=sr_1_1/189-5468110-4014744?s=apparel&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1386183399&amp;sr=1-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/eBags-Pa.....110-401474</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104575 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 18:55:33 +0000 Diana 1104575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was about that age, someone gave me a small tube of the L'occitane hand cream and hooked me on it for life.&nbsp; So I think that's a fantastic gift!<br />For the ornament, I would not have known what to do with it (and honestly still might not) as I'm not much of a christmas decorator.&nbsp; I haven't even ever had a tree of my own, although we are considering getting one this year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104544 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 18:18:16 +0000 rebekahphoto 1104544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>l'occitane is the best hand cream and that it is from france is a big plus!&nbsp;<br />I think that a moleskin would be a great idea, even though a phone is useful for almost everything.&nbsp;<br />I always take a tiny notebook to write real notes in, or to stick little mementos in, a&nbsp;glue stick and a pretty pen are great for those times&nbsp;when you want to unplug.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104505 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 17:34:44 +0000 Isis 1104505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your gift, but I know that I could not use an ornament when I was that age. &nbsp;I was still moving around, didn't have a tree,&nbsp;&nbsp;and trying not to accumulate stuff. &nbsp;But you know your kids!---I gave my brother and sister-in-law&nbsp;some euro's when he was going to Europe shortly after Christmas. &nbsp;That way they had some unhand when they landed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104472 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 16:54:01 +0000 Debbie 1104472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is a perfect gift! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104467 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 16:45:54 +0000 MsMary 1104467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have loved receiving Christmas ornaments since I was in high school, so my thumbs are way up! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104364 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 14:24:02 +0000 Makrame 1104364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the great thoughts, everyone!</p> <p>Amy, I am looking for a travel adaptor for them but I was thinking of giving it to DH. &nbsp;I love the moleskin notebook although I suspect you are right about it being replaced by an app. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104255 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 09:09:25 +0000 minimalist 1104255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>L'Occitane hand cream is always a win!</p> <p>My first thought for a suggestion was<br /> <a href="http://www.moleskine.com/us/collections/model/product/city-notebook-paris" rel="nofollow">http://www.moleskine.com/us/co.....book-paris</a><br /> but 20-somethings these days probably have an app for the same purposes. </p> <p>Even less personal, and more travel-relevant: a socket adapter.</p> <p>Every woman would be glad to have a mother-of-boyfriend as thoughtful as you are! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104236 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 07:40:36 +0000 lyn* 1104236@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your gift idea!

Many, many years ago when my husband and I were first dating my first Christmas gift from his mother was an ornament. It still goes on the tree every year. </p> <p>That particular ornament works because even if she dosen't have a tree its not so indelibly tied to Christmas. I'd dangle it from my vanity mirror year round. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104181 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 05:24:28 +0000 greycat6 1104181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The hand cream is a GREAT idea - especially in a travel size.&nbsp; How about a scarf and a book on how to tie them?&nbsp; She will fit right in with the locals.&nbsp; </p> <p>Or a tour guide book/map?&nbsp; Lonely Planet makes some good ones.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104166 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:39:51 +0000 Liz A. 1104166@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I was in my early 20s I would have loved the hand creme. &nbsp;Not so sure about ornament unless you know she likes decorating for Christmas. &nbsp;What about some chocolates or something? &nbsp;Is that a French thing? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/christmas-gift-question#post-1104156 Wed, 04 Dec 2013 04:23:45 +0000 Makrame 1104156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am looking for a small gift for DS's girlfriend (early 20s). &nbsp;They are planning a trip to France in a few months&nbsp;(saving up for plane tickets). &nbsp;What do you think of this travel Christmas ornament from Nordstrom plus a L'Occitane hand cream? &nbsp;</p> <p>Any other ideas for small, not overly personal gifts (maybe travel-themed) are welcome! </p>
