When it comes to fashion, animal prints are all the rage this year. Your boomer woman will carry her makeup in style with this 3-piece Adrienne Vittadini Cosmetic Bag set. The kit includes three sizes.
Give a gift that refreshes with a shower bomb that turns her shower into a spa. Cleverfy's six aromatherapy shower melts are filled with natural organic oils. These packable shower tablets offer a luxurious spa experience no matter where she's staying.
Who likes to take medicine? Not us! But those pills will go down a lot easier when they're stored in this cute pill case from Vera Bradley. Created from her signature cotton designs, you're sure to find a style and color for your favorite boomer woman traveler.

Toupons Fanny Pack is not only stylish, it's just the right size to compliment a nice dinner outfit when you don't want to lug around a large purse. Wear the fanny pack on a cruise excursion, then carry it to the ship's dining room that night. You know how we feel about doubling the use of travel items so that packing light becomes a reality.
This stylish Cashmere Scarf and Wrap is a great item to have on the road. It’ll keep you warm as you explore cold weather destinations or just snug as a bug on the flight over to Europe.

Travel-themed pillow covers to decorate the home of a boomer who lives, breathes and eats travel. This set of affordable four pillow covers will be a daily reminder of that next trip.
Nothing can ruin a great trip faster than realizing that your clothes are covered in shampoo slime. LiquiSnugs will protect you from that problem. Made of silicon, LiquiSnugs are virtually leakproof and are incredibly durable.
See-through and less than 3.5 ounces, LiquiSnugs qualify as TSA approved. You’ll sail through security as long as you include them in the bag of liquids that you send through the screening process.
Use this cool Electric Luggage Scale to help avoid those frustrating overweight luggage fees at the airport. Weigh bags before leaving home, when there’s still time to remove items.

Gifts for road trippers that are under $20
Road trips are more fun when your favorite roadtripper is organized and well-equipped. But that doesn't mean packing their entire home. These gifts for road trippers will add comfort and efficiency to a boomer travel adventure. And they're under $20!
The Tirrinia wine carrier tote carries two bottles of wine or champagne. The well-padded tote also includes a handle plus a corkscrew. This stylish gift is great for the roadtripper, wine lover or international traveler.
Who wants to drink wine out of a paper cup at the end of a long day on the road? With this elegant portable wine glass from Opux, your boomer travel friend will be sipping in style. Of course you'll want to purchase at least two of these gorgeous, collapsable wine glasses.
No need to pack the home medicine cabinet if you bring the DeftGet First Aid Kit on road trips. The 163-piece emergency medical kit includes everything you need. And it's packed in a waterproof carrying case.
Winter road trips are miserable if it's cold. Plug this blanket into a 12-volt vehicle outlet to stay cozy and comfortable. The low amp doesn't draw down car batteries. Great for emergencies.
