Gifts for Travelers: Kind Words

My next gift suggestion is a simple one, and while it’s inexpensive, it’s truly priceless to the traveler.
Kind words.
Too many times when we travel, our phone conversations with loved ones are short, sterile, or too business like. We can blame a bad cell connection, a hectic schedule, people waiting for us, or that we’re just taking a quick break between meetings, running for a flight, or grabbing a minute between phone calls.
The precious reminder that someone on the end of a phone cares about us is one of the best gifts that you can get. That’s true no matter where you are, of course, but in a crowded airport, impersonal hotel room, or a stressful meeting, kind words can make all the difference in the world.
Call your traveler today and let them know how important they are to you. Leave a voice mail if they are unavailable. I guarantee you that they will replay that message over and over!
