Nothing is worse than desperately trying to think of the "perfect gift" to buy someone.  The whole gifting routine is similar to the movie rental phenomenon.  When you aren’t looking for a movie, you could name ten that you want to see (and you remind yourself a million times not to forget the titles when you go to Blockbuster), yet when you cross the movie store threshold, you blank.  You can’t think of one darn movie if your life depended on it.  And browsing the shelves for inspiration or to jog the memory doesn’t help.  So annoying.  Same thing seems to happen with gifts.  You run across the “perfect gift” for x person in your life then remind yourself to buy next holiday.   Said holiday rolls around (equivalent of movie store threshold moment) and you experience total brain fart.  Why, oh why does this happen?  Well, if you happen to be shopping around for the “perfect gift” for a travel junkie in your life, we’ve got it.  Check out the Travel Guides Box Set ($125) from Tumi.  In typical Tumi style, the books are packaged in a slick nylon case and cover eight dreamy destinations:  Berlin, Buenos Aires, Dubai, London, Milan, New York, Paris, and Tokyo.  They are perfectly gift-able.  So, if you aren’t looking but have someone in mind, try not to forget this one!
