by Jessica Howell

Wondering what to wrap up for your favorite world trekker this holiday season? Worry no more. ROAD & TRAVEL Magazine delivers its annual holiday gift guide, showcasing our favorite in this year's hottest travel must-haves. Whether you’re looking to splurge, or simply show a token of thanks, we’ve got you covered.

Magellan’s Velocity Rolling Upright
When it comes to luggage, we favor prettily practical pieces. This 22-inch roller from Magellan’s fits the bill with its beautiful amber exterior, feather-light weight and incredibly easy organization. Oversized, hollowed-out wheels make airport runs a breeze, and handy features like four handles, a Pack-It folder and removable garment bag guarantee that this suitcase will win top honors in your travels. ($299 at Magellan’s)

MZ Wallace Puff Bag
There’s no better gift for the one who has it all than a big, black carry-all. This puff quilt bag by MZ Wallace is a luxe option that serves double-duty while gleaming with chic, gold accents. On the outside is a zippered pocket perfect for boarding passes and passports, while five interior pockets and a detachable clutch keep necessities close at hand. A comfy handle proves ideal for grab ‘n’ go, but a cross-body strap is also included for hands-free use. ($285 at MZWallace)

PacSafe DaySafe Backpack
For everyday adventures, our super hero is PacSafe’s secure day pack lined with extra-protection eXomesh. Slashproof and lockable, this laptop tote can be locked to a secure fixture (say, plumbing in a hotel room) to act as an in-room safe during day travels. Padded shoulder straps and easy-to-reach exterior pockets also serve roaming travelers well and add up to equal a safe, smart buy for anyone on the go. ($140 at PacSafe)

PamBee Travel Blanket
Created by a flight attendant concerned with travelers' hygiene, PamBee is a uniquely chic, in-flight kit designed to keep gals warm and cozy in the air. Packaged in a silky, inflatable pillow, the kit holds a luxuriously-sized blanket with soft lining and matching eye mask that’s sized for packability. Available in various colors and prints, the convenient kit is the ultimate in utility for frequent fliers. ($85 at PamBee)

Built NY Gourmet Sack
When in-flight meals look less than appealing, Built NY’s gourmet getaway tote proves priceless. The insulated and zippered bag is made of neoprene and stretches to accommodate all the food and drink you need. Machine-washable and stain-resistant, the bag also folds flat to take up minimal space when not in use. During daytime tours, it doubles as storage for maps, cameras and snacks! ($20 at BuiltNY)

Power Monkey Charger
Tech-addicted travelers won’t want to leave home without this ingenious charger. Portable and multi-faceted for charging all your juice-draining necessities, this small, sleek powerhouse boosts mobile phones, iPods, digital cameras, PDAs, Bluetooth headsets and more with its connecting adaptors. The device itself holds its charge for one year, making it the one thing that should always stay secure in your suitcase. ($69 at Magellan’s)

Travel Wrap
Chilly plane cabins aren’t known to be the most pampering of places, so any traveling gal should come prepared with a comfy, cozy wrap of her own. We’re partial to this cocoon-like wrap from Barefoot Dreams that features long, warm sleeves and is made of 100 percent CozyChic chenille. Perfect for planes, trains and automobiles, this easy sweater should always be at hand. ($111 at Zappos)

OkaB Slip-on Shoes
What a surprise! We were thrilled to stumble upon these travel-friendly shoes that are not only cute, but uber comfortable and stylish to boot! Available in clogs, slides or mini-mule styles, Oka b.’s shoes make shoeless security lines a breeze, and wash easily after long, walking tours. Best of all, foot beds are covered with tiny massage beads to pamper your tootsies all day long. ($20+ at Oka b.)

"100 Places Every Woman Should Go"
By Stephanie Elizondo Griest, "100 Places Every Woman Should Go" is an inspirational guide filled with all the worldwide must-sees that should make your favorite female traveler’s list. From Krakow, Poland (a thriving center of spiritual energy), to Austin, Texas (where everything really is bigger—and better), Griest tackles the reasoning behind each destination in a delightfully entertaining read.
