With the Christmas holidays fast approaching, many of you are thinking about what gifts to buy your friends and loved ones. If you have people in your life who love to travel, I have some excellent Christmas shopping recommendations! Aside from surprising family with an unexpected trip to Europe or the Caribbean, giving travel books can be one of the best gifts for your globe-trotting friends and relatives.
