As much as luggage tags are supposed to help you identify your luggage, the darn things can sometimes pop off. Or, as often happens with us, we just want a new look. (Yes, even with luggage tags - shameful, we know).

We happened across these cutesies on the Container Store website - great for kids or adults who don’t mind being thought of as kids. They come in Bee, Panda, Frog and Ladybug (just in case you didn’t suss that out from the picture at left) and they’re on sale for $5.99. (Not that the original $7.99 price was so ridiculous, but in this economy, we’ll take any sale…)

Grab ‘em while you can - and check out a whole host of other travel items on sale too.

Okay, we know - we didn’t post specific gifts for moms and Mother’s Day just rolled on by. (Happy Mother’s Day by the way…)

We were too busy being feted by our own offspring - presents included some delightful tropical flowers, courtesy of Dad, and an absolutely gorgeous and priceless handmade jewelry box made as only a 4-year old can.

Now it’s Dad’s turn, and we have to post something, because let’s face it, shopping for Dad is always a little harder. Most of what’s out there is so boring - no matter how glamorous the tie is, it’s another tie. So we tried to scope out gifts for traveling dudes, gifts with a little pizzazz…

These leather golf club covers from Pellavera give daddy some extra style on the course. Forzieri, $425

Who’da thunk it?

Yes, sorting through all the options out there can be exhausting. (Not to mention that we have to do it during the down time, which doesn’t really exist when you have a 4-year old and a 10-month old…)

In any case, we are trying to figure out where we’ll go next. You know us - we love a beach. It’s easy with tots and it’s relaxing, which is precisely what we need right now.

Puerto Rico?

Cayman Islands?

Thus far, those are our choices. We’re leaning towards Cayman, frankly.

What say you?
