18. American Tourister Luggage AT Pop 3 Piece Spinner Set

If you know a couple that loves to travel, one item they will surely appreciate is a brand new set of luggage. Those who travel often know how much luggage is put through. From security checks to those dreaded conveyor belts at the airport, luggage can be thrown, stuffed, stacked, until they are falling apart. This does not even include the beatings luggage receives in the packing process alone. Stuffing suitcases to their max, then sitting on them in order to squeeze the zippers shut is an all too common practice among travelers. This is why luggage falls apart often and becomes a regular investment for frequent flyers. This year, you can allow your favorite traveling couple to have a little more spending money on their trip by buying them new luggage yourself so they won’t have to.

This is a complete luggage set, so that each person in the family has a suitcase. There is also a suitcase suitable for every scenario. The largest suitcase measures 29 inches by 20 inches by 10 inches. It weighs 12.9 pounds. This is for those frequent flyers who are planning longer trips. Most international airlines only allow one checked luggage. In this case, a person would want as large as is allowed in order to make the most of the space. This suitcase is at the max for most airlines that range in size allowance with the maximum allowing falling around 35 inches for many airlines.

For those who rather save on the size and weight, there is a medium suitcase option. It is 25 inches by 18 inches by 9.75 inches. It weighs just 10.2 pounds. This is good for airlines that are a little stricter in their size limitations. It will also work well for those who have less, but heavier items to take with them. The medium suitcase is also a better option for car rides, or other travel means where size is not as big of an issue, so you can bring multiple bags and each bag can be an easier size to manage.

The last bag is 21 inches by 14 inches by 7.5 inches. This bag is perfect for short weekend trips. It also measures a size that is accepted by most airlines as a carry on size. It weighs just 8.6 pounds, making it very easy to manage.

All the bags are made from 100% polyester. Each bag also has four spinner wheels on each corner. The spinner wheels allow for easier mobility. Both the top and the sides of the suitcases each have padded carry handles so the suitcases can easily be lifted from any direction to fit into the appropriate place. A pop out handle makes it easy to transport the suitcases from place to place without having to lift them at all.

The suitcases are available in six different colors. Each suitcase has four different pockets. The main compartment will hold the majority of the items. The lid of the main compartment has a secondary compartment. On the outside of this compartment is a more narrow compartment for smaller items. The smallest pocket is located at the top of the suitcases and is ideal for a wallet or keys, if the suitcase is staying near you.

25. Hand Casting Kit by Discovering DIY

Capturing memories that last is not limited to just taking pictures. There are so many more ways to preserve a moment for forever. One more unique way is to use hand casting. This is a gift you can give a couple that will allow them to remember the special occasion and have it literally written in stone, or at least a hard plaster.

Hand casting in a relatively simple process. You will mix up a cement type of mixture into a bucket. You will then place your hands into the bucket. How you place your hands in the bucket will depend entirely up to you. The casting works best if the two hands are connected and touching in some ways. This is why many couples choose to hold hands for the casting.

You then wait a few minutes for the outer mixture to dry. Most mixtures will turn a white when it is dry, which may take one to two minutes. You then wiggle your hand as you pull it out. A second mixture is then poured into the mold. This second mixture can be made from a wax or some other material. You then allow this second mixture to harden. Once it is hardened, you can break away the molding revealing the perfect statue of your hands forever intertwined. This can then be painted or decorated however you would like.

This hand casting kit by Discovering DIY is a complete hand casting kit with all the materials you will need from start to end. The kit is made for two people, which makes it a perfect gift for all couples. The bucket included is large enough for two hands that are holding, or connected in some way.
