Topic: Travel New - From guides to travel deals, gifts for those going away - San Francisco Chronicle

Arranging a complete trip - especially involving air tickets - may not be feasible unless you’re absolutely sure about when and how long they can travel, but you can find lots of travel gifts that provide flexibility. City dwellers might enjoy a country weekend, small-town folks might like a big-city package, and just about anyone might like a week at a snow resort or at the beach. If you have some excess frequent-flier miles - and keep in mind that they expire more quickly these days - ask your airline to issue awards in the names of the recipients. Most of them are valid for six months to a year after the start of travel, so you don’t have to know specific dates. A dedicated photographer would disdain a simple point-and-shoot digital camera, for example; a novice would be overwhelmed by a full-featured DSLR.
