Black Friday Ideas for the Apple Vacationer!

For those of you starting your holiday shopping today, I thought I’d pass on some great gift & stocking stuffer ideas for the people on your list, who love to vacation.

1 – A fun (inexpensive) camera! I LOVE to take pictures on my vacations. Last trip I took 1500 in 2 days. The day before I left, I purchased a FUJIFILM XP. Water/ Shock / Dust & Freeze Proof camera. Perfect for beaches, ziplining & underwater shots. It’s small and fits right in my pocket and I don’t have to worry about getting it wet at the pool or dropping it on an excursion. I waited for a sale and got it for less than $150.00 at Target.

2 – Luggage identifiers. How many people have a large black or blue suitcase? Last flight, 90% of the people on my flight did. Everyone is reaching for the same bag. I found these cute ones on qvc.com with one of my favorite sports teams!

3 – A travel mug. Get a team or color you like. Use them at the beach bar or pool bar. Your drink stays colder longer.

4 – A USB drive. They are very handy. When you get home from vacation download the pictures you took right on it, then attach a key-chain you bought on vacation (remember to pick one up) and your memories are preserved!

5 – Save yourself a trip to the mall and give an Apple Vacations gift certificate! www.applevacations.com/giftcertificates

Happy Shopping everyone!

Holiday Travel Gift Ideas

flipcameraWhat do you buy this holiday season for the person on your list, who loves to travel? You can always buy them an Apple Vacations’ gift certificate. If you need something else to stuff in their stocking, there are lots of cool holiday travel gadgets out there. Travel scales are a very popular item. With increased costs on overweight bags, travelers don’t want to incur extra baggage fees. Travel water bottles are also a hot one. I however personally can’t wait to use my new FLIP camcorder.  It is a Camcorder that is the size of a regular camera. You can buy them in a few different sizes and colors. They record up to 2 hours of video. They are easy to use and carry. The best feature of the FLIP is that they plug right into your computer or laptop so it is super easy to download the videos. FLIP’s are also very affordable; on sale you can get one around $125.00.  So you don’t mind taking it on vacation. If you unfortunately lose or break it, it’s not a hard loss like a $500.00 video camera. So watch out Riviera Maya, I’ll be there soon with my new FLIP!
