A Gift For: Your Goddaughter Off On Her Travels

A gift for your goddaughter off on her travels

It’s not often that you’re called upon in your role as a godmother beyond birthdays, Christmas presents and the odd contact for work experience. So wish your goddaughter well on her gap year travels with a gift that’s thoughtful as well as practical.

It goes without saying that she’ll want to look the part wherever she’s headed. This funky pair of animal print flip-flops (pictured left) from oh so popular brand Havaianas will look equally fab on a beach as they will wandering around an exotic city.

Probably the second essential item in her bag after her toothbrush will be her sunglasses. And you can bet she’s way fussier about how this item looks than the first. For movie star looks (and full UV protection) go for Wayfarers (pictured right) by Rayban.

They’re THE shade du jour for everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Sienna Miller and will earn you some serious cred in the cool godmother stakes.

After weeks of roughing it in hostels she’s bound to need a good scrub. Encourage her not let her beauty regime suffer.

Send her on her way with this best selling scrub and soap set (pictured left) – just make sure she hides it away from other grubby travellers!

There’ll be times when she’ll need something slightly more stylish on her shoulder than a ram packed backpack.

The stripey Aisby bag (pictured right) from firm favourite Jack Wills is big enough to carry all the beach essentials but compact enough to fold up and fit neatly in her rucker when necessary.

Finally why not pop a date in your diary for a full debrief of her travels when she returns.

And if you’re feeling extra generous then this cute Canon digital pink camera (pictured left) will ensure she captures all the action!
