For her next vacation: Béis The Weekender Travel Bag

The Béis The Weekender Travel Bag is social media-buzzy and worth the hype. Why is it worth it? Because its shoe compartment, chic design and spacious charm make it one of the most well-designed styles we’ve seen.

If it isn’t for the infamous Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Throw Blanket to top the charts of the best gifts to give anyone — for any occasion. Though a splurge, it’s the plushest blanket (that we reviewed and love, BTW) you’ll experience and is perfectly wrapped to make a magnificent presentation.

A tote for her daily essentials: Longchamp Large Le Pliage Tote

Enter the work tote of the century. The Longchamp Large Le Pliage Tote is a decades-loved option that we can’t stop glossing over. It’s weather-resistant too, and quite spacious.
