Travellers value experiences and good gear. A weekend away, a passport holder or a scratch-off map suits the restlessness without adding clutter to a packed suitcase.

Check the dates before you book anything that depends on them.

Buying for your brother

Gifts for a brother can be playful and affectionate. Choose something he would use and something that makes him laugh.

Add a note that mentions a memory.

Bakery orders and a personalized game can be arranged online the same day. An oin game is usually emailed within an hour of payment, so it can go on the table with the dessert.

Thanksgiving is about gratitude, so a thank-you note is a gift in itself. Say what you are grateful for, and why.
