Compact Sound Machine - LectroFan Micro2: $26.48
Even in a 5 star luxury hotel, falling asleep without the comforts of home can sometimes prove difficult. I never travel away from home without this compact sound machine. It is small enough to throw into my carry-on and barely notice it's there. The best part is, since it's so inexpensive I am not worried about losing it while I travel. It has saved me from endlessly counting sheep many a times!
Customized Leather Luggage Tag: $8.25+
We love shopping on Etsy to discover handmade unique shops for one of a kind gifts you just won't find in any store. There is something about a personalized gift that just hits deeper and feels extra special. Since there are many shops to choose from depending on your design preferences, we selected this as an example but you can easily peruse to find your favorite.

Private Tour of Paris by Riverboat
Since we started this issue with one of our favorite destinations, France, we thought it would only be right to conclude with one of our favorite VIP experiences in the City of Lights! On your next trip to Paris, allow us to arrange a private 2.5 hour tour by riverboat. The Seine river serves as the the ultimate reference point for the age-old Left Bank and Right Bank distinction. This tour is perfect for a romantic couple, small families, or those looking to get a city overview at a relaxed pace - not to mention this spectacular view of the Eiffel Tower!
