Who doesn’t enjoy a bit of mystery? One of the hot new trends in travel is a surprise trip to an unknown destination. Several companies now offer this service, including Jubel, Pack Up & Go and Bolsover Cruise Club with their 16 night mystery voyage.

Wear this marine inspired number by Sophia Alexia and you’re pretty much assured to get compliments from strangers. It’s long enough to be worn as a dress around town or poolside cover up.

Louis Vuitton is famous for its steamer trunks and this book on the history of the travel trunk is full of fascinating anecdotes. For the foodie, Linda Lang’s 5 Star Recipes from World Famous Hotels & Resorts should definitely appeal.

American luggage brand Raden is carving out a name for itself with its smart designs. Their suitcases have weighing scales in the handle, two built-in chargers and location technology to alert you when they arrive on the airport carousel.

For the tech geek in your life, this 360 degree camera by Ricoh will capture every angle of your trip. As well as photos, it can take spherical videos up to 25 minutes long which you can then transfer to your smartphone by WiFi.

For ingenious travel wear

This ingenious collection of reversible clothing from American brand Jia will give you several outfits in one. We particularly like their cashmere cardigan dresses for keeping you warm on chilly flights.

For those more used to private jets than flying commercial, access to the VIP terminal at Heathrow would make an excellent present. With a door to door chauffeur service, its own screening and immigration facilities private lounges and gourmet food on offer, it makes a great start to a trip.
