Valentine’s Day is fast approaching (11 more days, oh my!) which means it’s time to shower those you love with, well, more love.  Last year, I happened to be away from home at this time, celebrating Valentine’s Day over FaceTime with Mike.  He handled it very well and gave me the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to support my choice to travel, even if it meant spending the day apart.  If you and/or your valentine happen to be of the nomadic variety, here are a few (14 to be exact) suggestions for tokens of your affection:

1. Vintage Postcards to stay in touch with while you’re apart. Bonus points if you include stamps! ($7 for the set)

   

2. FujiFilm Instax Mini Camera to add some whimsy to the no doubt endless amounts of photos they’ll be taking. ($70.00)
   
3. A Pretty Notebook to journal their adventures. ($19)

   

4. Scratch Off Map to chronicle the places you’ve been together, plus some fun home décor. ($36)

   

5. A Toiletry Bag to help them carry the essentials. ($38)

   

6. A Book to keep them company on a long flight without you. ($10)
   
7. A Rollerball Version of Their Preferred Perfume to help them carry-on only with their favorite scent. ($20)
   
8. An iPad Travel Case to help them travel with information and style at their fingertips. ($13)

   

9. Luggage Tag to save time at baggage claim. ($10)

   

10. Shadow Box Frame to hold their plane tickets, train passes and polaroids. ($35)

    

11. Cozy Socks to keep them comfy and warm on their travels. ($10)

    

12. A Beautiful Scarf to liven up their outfits and keep them cozy on their flights. ($65)

    

13. Solid Headphones to fill their head with music and drown out annoying passengers. Bonus points if you include a playlist. ($180)

    

14. A Globe to help them map out their next adventure. ($129)

    

    Now that you have my best recommendations, go forth and make your better halves’ wandering hearts soar.  Bonus points if you can sneak it into their luggage before they leave (unless it’s a bottle of wine in their carry-on).  If you’re out a significant other, buy yourself all of these trinkets because, damn it, you deserve it.  Happy Early Valentine’s Day!
