When it comes to travel, comfort is key, and the perfect cashmere set is your ticket to luxurious tranquility on the go. For the discerning traveler who seeks the epitome of comfort and style on the go, Gigi Hadid’s Guest in Residence Cashmere Line is the ultimate gift.
Offering a wide range of knitwear like beanies, sweaters, pants, and polos, Guest in Residence offers “funky classics” (as Gigi calls them) and heritage silhouettes in joyful colorways perfect for traveling and lounging in style.
Mix and match different styles to find the perfect combo fit for your loved one. My recommendation is the Everyweek Cardigan (₱20,196.70PHP) and the Everywhere Pants (₱33,204.75). The cardigan, with its gentle drape and sumptuous feel, becomes a cocoon of comfort, while the matching pants provide a relaxed fit that is elegant, easygoing, and incredibly chic.
2. Miu Miu Ivy Bag
Elevate your travel experience with luxury and functionality—the Miu Miu Ivy Bag. A perfect fusion of style and practicality, this travel companion offers a spacious interior and durable leather craftsmanship perfect for on-the-go.
The Ivy bag boasts a spacious fit for all travel essentials and more. Its ample size caters to the needs of the modern jetsetter, providing room for clothing, accessories, and anything else you need by your side for a long-haul flight.
The bag is made with durable leather that not only withstands the rigors of travel but also adds a touch of timeless elegance. Its lining with two zipper pockets ensures that you can throw in your belongings with ease and compartments for important items, making it the perfect bag for those who embrace spontaneity.

Designed for those who chase the sun across borders, the Super Goop Sunscreen is not just a thoughtful present; it’s a great travel companion that ensures a healthy glowing complexion.
Travel often means encountering diverse climates, from tropical escapes to snowy landscapes. Super Goop’s range includes formulations tailored for every weather condition to ensure your loved ones are shielded from the sun’s rays no matter where their passport stamps take them.
The brand offers different sets containing different formulations to mix and match. Go for the 3 Ways to PLAY Travel Set ($56) to try three feel-good textures (mist, mousse, and lotion!) perfect for warmer weather because no one likes feeling icky when it’s humid.
For skincare fiends, we recommend the Face Essentials SPF Mini Set ($20) – a sampler of the brand’s go-to picks for face protection which includes the cult favorite unseen unscreen, a watery lotion, resetting mist (perfect for added protection throughout the day) and a daily moisturizer of course with SPF!
And for the beauty girlies in your life, opt for the SPF Multitaskers Mini Set ($20) that protects skin against UV rays and helps filter blue light. This set features multitasking SPFs in four unique finishes that all sit well under makeup.
4. Ashya Passport Bolo
Selecting a Passport Holder as a gift is a gesture that merges practicality with thoughtful elegance. This passport-friendly version of ASHYA’s signature Bolo bag goes beyond aesthetics, serving as a secure haven for the most essential travel document to avoid misplacing and keeping it safe from pickpockets.
Crafted with precision, this passport neckpiece ($225.00) boasts hand-stitched details, featuring Italian cow leather and custom hardware plated with 14K gold, featuring a unique color scheme and a chicer choice than our run-of-the-mill holder. Each compartment is lined with organic cotton canvas, and the design incorporates three leather card sleeves.
This versatile bolo seamlessly transitions from a secure passport holder to an everyday wallet alternative and can be worn across the chest like a sling bag, around the neck like a lanyard, or around your waist as a belt bag.
