It's that time of year when sales are plentiful and gift buying (and giving) is top of mind. To help you weed through the options, we called up two of the most thoughtful gifters we know: Shanika Hillock, Women Who Travel contributor and wine marketer, and Megan Spurrell, Travelers' senior editor. With gift ideas that range from cookbooks to book subscriptions to home goods—and even a few suitcases—we have suggestions from women-owned brands around the globe. (Still looking for more ideas? Check out our Women Who Travel gift guide for other options.)
