The Maptia Manifesto Letterpress Poster ($29)
It’s a manifesto every Wanderful woman can get behind: an inspiration when the going gets tough and a promise to keep exploring. At 18×24 inches, this poster was lovingly designed by one of Maptia’s co-founders and hand-lettered by her sister.
Hang it on a wall, or roll it up and take it with you on your adventures! If you snap a photo of it in a place it’s never been before and share it on Twitter or Instagram (#MaptiaManifesto), the team will add it to their list of manifesto-visited destinations (55 so far!).

Easy to stuff into a backpack, the Anywhere Travel Guide will become your best travel companion; it’s full of ideas, and it keeps its judgments to itself!

How Not to Travel the World: Adventures of a Disaster-Prone Backpacker by Lauren Juliff ($12.99)
Lauren Juliff has written about the travel experiences of our dreams…and nightmares.

Fuzzy Socks (prices vary)
They’re fuzzy, they’re warm, and they’re very likely colorful. Whether you prefer yours printed, neon, solid, short, or long, you can bet they’ll keep your feet warm. Fuzzy socks are cheap and easy to find, and they’re perfect when your toes get a chill…like in any airplane we’ve ever been in.

The HOBOROLL™ ($39.99)
The HOBOROLL easily solves the problem of a pack explosion upon arrival at your destination. Instead of shaking everything out on your bed to find your toothbrush or tugging at your socks until your jacket pops out, use the HOBOROLL’s simple compartments. There are five of them, and they’re likely to fit everything you need.

Ticket to the Women in Travel Summit ($199 general admission)
WITS by Wanderful is the first and only travel blogging summit by and for women, now in our third year. What’s better than being surrounded by 500 smart, creative, wanderful women? In our opinion, nothing! A ticket to WITS (March 18-20,2016 in Irvine, CA) is the perfect holiday gift for a woman trying to build her travel blog and looking for inspiration, skills and growth opportunities.

Cork Push Pin Travel Map ($35)
Everyone loves to stick a pin in where they’ve been, but paper maps are so easily damaged. Get a cork one instead. And while you’re at it, make it personal!
