Holiday Gift Guide 2013: Product Reviews

103 6
Making your life simpler while traveling is a must in today's on-the-go world.
Every trip I made this year, these products were by my side.
They are certainly winners in my book.
If you are still trying to find ideas for those "hard to buy for" friends and family members, these products will undoubtedly bring rave reviews.
This holiday gift guide includes a splurge, a necessity and a beach bum essential.
My top travel product picks for 2013 are not only lightweight but stylish and durable, 3 important elements for anyone who travels.
Check them out.
1.
Apple Macbook Whether you are a business traveler who needs to be in-the-know or a first time traveler who wants to stay in touch, this one is a must.
I can not live without it and neither should you.
It is the perfect addition for those long layovers and a necessity for anyone who loves to pack light (I am talking overnight trips, backpackers, weekend getaway's, etc).
I converted from a PC to a Mac midway through the year and have not looked back.
It is so slim I wonder how it actually has the manpower to do everything it does.
It is lightning fast and has so many more features than a PC.
I fell in love with iPhoto and quickly adapted to using Safari instead of Internet Explorer.
I spend 6-8 hours a day on the computer so it is very important that I use a product that is efficient.
I am also happy to report, I have not had any issues.
My PC was constantly freezing up and super slow, which of course is very irritating and exactly why I made the switch (and of course there was a little persuasion from my sister and brother-in-law who are Mac freaks).
My only wish: I sometimes find it difficult to live without the cd/dvd drive.
I guess Apple's forward thinking is telling us something.
Splurge a little; it's definitely worth every penny.
2.
Bubel Beach Towel When I came across this product I was traveling in Spain.
I had never seen anything like it.
It is not only a towel with an artistic flair, the material it is made out of allows it to absorb so much more water than your typical cotton towels.
I have lost track of the number of times I have come in from the water, while enjoying a day at the beach, only to find my towel still wet from the last time I cooled off (very annoying).
This product not only solves that problem but is also a great pick for backpackers who hop from city to city and hostel to hostel.
I can promise you nobody will have one like it;pick the design that matches your favorite city and your travel personality will certainly shine.
Surprise your beach bum, art lover, and backpacker friends this holiday season.
3.
Apple iPhone This one is no surprise, in fact, you are probably wondering why I have the iPhone on my list; it's been out for several years and there are many new versions and colors.
Nonetheless, it is that necessity you just can not live without.
Apple scores big this year; you certainly can not go wrong with any Apple product.
Whether you rack up the frequent flier miles or just need something to entertain yourself or the kids, the iPhone always save the day.
It is certainly easier than booting up your computer and one can pass the time by listening to podcasts, playing games or listening to their favorite playlist while waiting for their next connection.
Although I am not a fan of the frequent iOS updates, you can rest assured Apple always provides a quality product.
A perfect match for the travel techies in your life.
Check these 3 products out if you are looking for the perfect gift or have a hard to please person in your life.
Plan your purchases for your exacting traveler friends, add these items to your Christmas or birthday list or treat yourself to an end of year purchase.
Santa won't mind!
