Summer is almost here, but judging by how warm the weather has been, it’s almost as if Summer has already made its fashionably early appearance. We don’t know about you, but summer’s early arrival has us yearning for something, and that something is to leave our cocoon and explore the world! Not all of it of course, but part of it. And it seems we’re not the only ones… while Covid numbers are relatively low, many are considering escaping the country to make up for the last few years of staycationing. We’ve gathered some data and with a little help from Google Flights, we’re happy to present you with the most popular travel destinations of 2023, or in other words, where everyone will be heading this summer. And since traveling always seems to bring unforgettable memories, finding the perfect gift is key to making these last. So whether you’re planning your own lil’ summer escape, or know someone that is, this destination-themed gift assortment is perfect for before the trip, to bring along the trip, or for those post-travel blues. Each gift reflects the essence of the city, so you or a loved one can reminisce on those sweet overseas memories.
