Traveling for business and the Christmas gifts you can buy along the way

You’re in London and you have two hours before the shops close, and you’ve got four people to buy for. What do you do?! Travelling for business and trying to Christmas shop along the way presents a some difficulties, but also many opportunities to get a unique Christmas gift or stocking stuffer for your loved ones. The most important thing to remember is that you need to put some thought into your gifts – a little thought will take you a long, long way. Don’t cave in and buy something last-minute before your plane takes boards if you can help it!
Your business partners and the hotel staff might have some good suggestions as to where to go for interesting gifts. Are there local markets or night markets you could prowl? Are some shopping streets open later than others? Look for local shops instead of chains, and local artisans with goods that reflect their culture. A stylish beret from Paris, blown glass from Venice, silver jewellery from Mexico, or pretty chopsticks from Hong Kong are some suggestions. Try to find something that you can’t buy at home, and that carries a whiff of the exotic.
Everyone likes candy, and travelling is a good way to load up on foreign treats. Check out local supermarkets and grab anything you don’t recognize for a cheap stocking stuffer that promises an adventure with every bite. Will it be chocolate? Does it have nougat inside? Keep in mind that this might not be the best gift for people with food allergies.
Kids like to know where you’re going, so a good gift might be a map of the world or a globe so that they can follow you with a pin or a finger. Are there any special toys from the area that you’re going to? A marionette from Italy that’s just like Pinocchio, or a yo-yo from their point of origin in Philippines would be happily received. Kids don’t mind a little kitsch as much as adults, so a pencil sharpener shaped like the Statue of Liberty or a piggy bank that looks like a red London phone booth would go over well. Just remember to check the quality of the toys you’re buying, and not to buy any snowglobes or tee-shirts with silly animals on them.
Although there’s less time to do it in, a business travellers’ gifts can be just as magnificent as those bought while travelling for leisure. The same rules apply: can the recipient use the gift? Will it fit in with their lifestyle and wardrobe? And am I buying this gift for them because I think that they will like it, or because it is convenient for me? A little thought can make that Christmas stocking seem a lot more global, and your loved ones will be reminded that no matter how far from home you are, you haven’t forgotten them.
