Why we like it: This best-selling backpack makes an excellent gift for frequent flyers. Per the brand, it meets the personal item size requirements for most airlines.

Who it's for: The bookworm
Why we like it: This isn't your average cookbook. If she loves nothing more than curling up with a good read and a stiff drink, gift her this literature-themed book of cocktail recipes. The punny names like "Are You There God? It’s Me, Margarita," and "Gin Eyre" will put her in the best mood as she whips up a drink.
