Are you still looking for the perfect gift? Here is our selection intended for the adventurers of your entourage, whether they prefer to go to the end of the world or on the roads of Quebec.
For frequent travelers
• Beautiful inspiring books. The “Dream Routes” collection, from Ulysse editions, has nearly forty titles on different themes. To offer to lovers of road trips : North American Wine Route, by Nathalie Richard, and North America in VR, by Yves Ouellet and Louise Gaboury. In the same collection, epicurean travelers will no doubt also like beer roads, by Martin Thibault and Alain McKenna, as well as Gourmet Europe and Gourmet travelersproduced by a collective of authors.
• Cabin suitcase and featherweight backpack. When we received the box containing the suitcase and the Osprey backpack, we could hardly believe that the two products were inside as it was so light. The two-wheel carry-on has a capacity of 40L and has a sleeve for a computer up to 16″. The 90mm casters have been designed to improve rolling over varied terrain. The Travel Sentry ID baggage identification service, which manages the largest lost property repatriation system, also allows you to leave with peace of mind. Simply scan the QR code to register your baggage.
Equipped with a loop to attach it to the suitcase, the backpack also has a pocket for a computer and an identification chip. Unisex, it is especially suitable for fairly tall people. Carry-on suitcase price: $375. Backpack price: $210.
• Carbone Boréal gift certificate. No, offsetting GHG emissions is not a miracle solution that magically erases our excesses. Nevertheless, it is an option to consider to reduce its footprint. Among the most reliable, we should mention Carbone Boréal, a research program at the Université du Québec à Chicoutimi which includes forestry and agriculture. To offer compensation as a gift, it is necessary to use the calculator on the site, enter the amount and pay, then indicate the information on the printable gift certificate. For example, an amount of $60 is required to compensate for a Montreal-Paris flight in economy class.
