2012 gift guide helps travellers tackle Christmas shopping while on the road
Austin, U.S.A. – 2012-11-16 — /travelprnews.com/ — Another Christmas, another seemingly endless list of presents that need to be purchased. If body lotion and candles just won’t cut it this year, Four Seasons Hotel Austin offers the following ideas, all available throughout the Hotel.
Visions of iPads are dancing in many people’s heads, but for those who already own the in-demand device the next best thing is a case that’s as stylish as the item itself. Made by a family-owned company in Virginia, the Moore & Giles iPad Case features a fine leather design that’s durable, gender neutral and weather resistant. Perfect for busy college students or frequent business travellers, the case does double-duty as an organizer thanks to pocket compartments for pens, notes and other small items. Available at Johnstone Downtown, located directly off the Hotel Lobby.
Wrap loved ones in Four Seasons comfort – without the need for a suitcase – with a My Blankee Robe from The Spa at Four Seasons. Already selling like hotcakes according to Spa Director Mary Kate Piotrowski, the supremely soft robes are available for adults in a reversible satin/luxe design featuring a belt, shawl collar and slash pockets. Children’s sizes and designs are also available, and The Spa is happy to custom order robes if desired.
Not everyone can live year-round in a Four Seasons (wouldn’t that be nice?), but the experience can now be recreated at home with aFour Seasons Pillow-top Mattress or Bedding. Available for purchase through the Concierge, mattresses are custom-made by Stearns & Foster and feature an ultra-plush pillowtop layer with silk, wool fibres and memory foam covered in luxurious damask. Light-as-a-cloud goosedown pillows, pillowcases, Egyptian cotton sheets and duvet comforters are also for sale. All beds and bedding are may be shipped to the Hotel or direct to a home address.
For those with a college student on their list, a pair of “Game Day” Cowboy Boots from Allens Boots will help them show school spirit from head to toe. On display in the Lobby of the Hotel, boots are available with logos and designs representing more than 50 schools, meaning everyone from a Baylor Bear to a Texas Longhorn can put their best foot forward. Boots may be ordered directly through the Concierge with the option of same-day delivery to the Hotel.
With displays located throughout the Hotel, REWARDS makes finding a great gift a rewarding experience in and of itself. The niche company – which is the largest seller of silver and gold buckles in the US – offers an extensive collection of men’s gifts. One of their best sellers, the Cowboy Belt Buckle – a handmade piece of art with black alligator leather, sterling silver and 14kt gold stars – is worn by none other than George W. Bush and several members of the Texas legislature.
If the perfect present is still elusive, there’s always the option of leaving the gift getting to the recipient. Four Seasons Gift Cards are sold online or at the Front Desk and are redeemable on accommodations at any Four Seasons property worldwide, as well as locally in TRIO, The Spa or the Lobby Lounge.
