It's the thought that counts. Yeah, right. This year EDGE is calling out the pink elephant in the room to say, "Gimme, Gimme!" Whether you're looking to splurge or be creative with limited funds, we've got you covered. It's our very own gay-friendly, nondenominational - unless you consider "fabulous" a religion.

Redefining the Weekender

The duffle is still the hot gift item for those with wanderlust. Handcrafted and locally made, MAST Resort offers a California-style, low-key luxury. While you can't go wrong with any of their bags and totes, two duffles in particular are worth the splurge. The Onyx and Palm duffles are ready for the gym, a weekend in Provincetown or Palm Springs, or perhaps a surprise getaway that demands a sense of style.

MAST Resort, $250-$300

Diva Worthy

Looking for the perfect travel accessory for those with, shall we say, a "delicate disposition"? We got tipped off about the Air-O-Swiss travel humidifier from travel expert Jason Couvillion of ALT by Bruvion (a premiere LGBT full-service travel company). Compact enough to fit in a bag, just add bottled water and the efficient ultrasonic technology generates micro-fine mist to sooth the throat in any environment.
