For  the Whimsical Traveler

Passport Wallet A little company called ella grace designs has developed some great travel accessories. I love that the products are made of 100% cotton fabric dressed up in some colorful designs. The Passport holder is also a wallet that has a zippered compartment and it can hold some credit cards as well.
Travelers Jewelry Roll
The matching jewelry roll is made with three zippered storage pouches so you can take as much jewelry as you want without tangles. If you love these designs, you can find matching wallets, key fobs, purses, scarves and much more on their Etsy website,  ella grace designs .
The company sent me these products for review and I think they are lovely. So, well, I’m keeping them for myself.
If you think your special traveler will enjoy these or other lovely ella grace designs, they have a special code for EuropeUpClose readers. For free (worldwide) shipping between now and 12/31/2012,  just put in this code upon checkout: HOLIDAYTRAVEL.
Wouldn’t this be a fun gift for that first-time traveler?
