A beautiful and thoughtful gift for the traveling Mom! This pocket-sized red leather World Travel Journal from Graphic Image is a fantastic resource – 240 editorial and journal writing pages as well as 80 pages of full-color maps (64 international cities & 8 U.S. cities).

The travel information section contains: International air distances, country information (capital, currency, language, religion), directory of foreign embassies in the U.S., international travel information (passports, customs, etc.), weather (international temperatures and precipitation), weights and measures (equivalentsand conversions).

World Travel Journal title is embossed on the front cover – gilt edged paper. Lovely. HH

Eye-popping Flame color! The simple, chic design of the Bosca Seychelles Messenger Bag calls to mind the beauty of its island namesake (for the geographically challenged – Seychelles is located in the Indian Ocean, 1500 KM East of the African mainland and northeast of Madagascar – OK, I had to Google it!). The most interesting feature about this bag is the leather treatment. Besides being incredibly soft, the Italian leather is tumbled and pearlized, which lends a very cool metallic presence.  Not only do you get a very functional Laptop Bag – you get a little “shimmer!” You deserve it…

A few very hot gift ideas for Valentine’s Day! A bold red Aluminum Wallet from Ögon Designs is very cool (also comes in silver). The red leather “Think Pad” from Karen Callan features a whimsical frog resting on the 500 sheet pad – magnificent! Find them both at Write On and More. HH
