Travelers must be flexible, curious, observant and have a sense of adventure. They must understand transportation and be open-minded to learning about new places, cultures, people and foods. If you want kids to be open to the world and open to the beauty that surrounds us, there are ways to help guide them along and then the sky is the limit. Here are a few fun fabulous gifts that can inspire kids and even adults.
1. Budsies
One of my personal all time favorite gifts is Budsies – a super cute, creative way to cherish kids creations. They turn children's drawings, artwork or a photo into a custom, handmade stuffed animal. So if your little one draws a picture of themselves in front of the Eiffel Tower or the Sydney Harbor Bridge, you can give them the gift of turning their creation and forever imbedding the location in their hearts as it comes to life in a stunning stuffed animal. Budsies are designed and handmade (mainly) in the USA and are the results are absolutely gorgeous and most important meaningful.

2. The Night Sky
It’s written in the stars and The Night Sky is both beautiful and an educational way to commemorate a special occasion. The Night Sky arrives as either a poster or a framed print. It is created by using the star catalog of the European Space Agency's Hipparcos mission, a high precision catalog of stars generated by the Hipparcos space-based telescope.

6. Osmo's Detective Game
This game is entertaining, educational and a blast for both kids and their parents to play with both at home and is perfect for airplane rides. Generally, I’m not a fan of IPAD games, but this one is enchanting, especially as it is a physical-digital, search-and-find experience.
The Detective Agency uses Osmo’s proprietary Reflective AI technology to let iPads, and Kindle Fires “see” objects in front of it so kids can use anything – hands, blocks, maps, a magnifying glass, to control the on-screen action and story.
The game teaches geography and culture while players track down missing item across Paris, New York, Beijing, Rio de Janeiro, Cairo, Sydney, Osmo Town, and the World.
The clues are hidden in the fold-out maps of each city, and players use a real-life magnifying glass to unlock the next chapter in each story. It’s a winner game.

Traveling is fun – and so are “Fun Socks” – especially as they come in packages of three – which makes it useful because they can be mixed and matched.

Also if you lose one along the way while traveling or somehow one magically disappears you can use the one you have with the other designs in the pack.
They are soft, durable and cheerful.
