Christmas gifting can be difficult. The gifts must be thoughtful and useful, and in this era, have re-gifting potential. Let’s be honest: all of us re-gift some items we receive to people whom we feel would get better mileage from it. With these conditions in mind, here’s our selection of five festive gifts from Samsonite that we highly recommend, both for their usefulness and versatility.
For The Young Professional
Somervil Backpack and Mini Cross
It’s time for them to ditch the tote bag they use to carry their laptops. This Somervil backpack can house a laptop and a tablet, and has a smart sleeve at the back that can easily slot into any luggage handle. Pair it with the Somervil Mini Cross bag on days that the laptop can be left in the hotel room, but he or she still needs to jet about the city for work and needs the essentials: the smartphone, a portable battery, and some name cards and sweets.
For The Well-Organised
Urban Packer Sling and 3-Piece Packing Cubes
My travels transformed when I discovered the magic of packing cubes. I just took out the clean laundry I needed from packing cubes and threw dirty clothes into my luggage. And I was given those packing cubes as a gift. This 3-piece packing cube set will definitely have the same effect on your recipient. The upside is that you’ll also save space in your luggage. Pair these cubes with the Urban Packer sling, also another game-changer for those who need some organisation in their travel adventures.
For The Urban Adventurer
Haaper Backpack and Mini Cross
What if you really need to use your laptop in the middle of a hike? The answer is this Haaper backpack. It’s crafted from Rip Nylon for enhanced toughness and durability, and comes with individual compartments for the laptop and tablet. Similar to the Somervil backpack, it also comes with a smart sleeve that can be attached to luggage. Its companion Mini Cross bag also has a detachable bottle holder on those shorter hikes that don’t need you answering an email in the middle of nowhere.
For The Woman With Classic Taste
Latha Tote and Mini Cross
It’s classic and minimalist, and is spacious enough to store any lady’s daily essentials. It also looks great on the shoulder or carried in hand. For days that such a “ludicrously capacious” bag isn’t required, the Mini Cross companion also has enough space for payment and travel cards, some makeup on-the-go, and cash if you need them. Both bags have detachable cross straps and zip closures.
For The PPS Club Member
Popsoda Spinner and Vectura Evo Laptop Backpack
If you know someone who spends more time sipping on Krug instead of kopi, this is the perfect gift for that jetsetter. Regular travellers know how important smooth wheels are, and the Popsoda Spinner has some of the best in the business. They’re whisper-quiet and glide like a dream. The luggage also comes with TSA-compliant locks and expandable storage. More importantly, the luggage is incredibly light. It pairs best with the Vectura Evo Laptop backpack, which features an integrated USB port in case your smart devices run out of power.
