Technology makes travel so much easier. Travel lovers will appreciate all of these gifts, including the anxiety reducing Air Tags. I keep one in my checked bags and one in my passport cover. I also love the cup holder that fits on my carryon roll aboard luggage.

Gifts for Active Empty Nesters, Seniors, Retirees. and Modern Grandmas
I am obsessed with the IBKul brand and the Vuori brand. IBKul provides sun protection clothing in styles that are appropriate for golf, tennis, hiking, boating and beach. They inserted mesh to the underside of their sleeves making them cool even in the hottest temperatures. They come in great colors and styles. My favorite golf outfit is a Lilly Pulitzer Baseball Hat, IBKul Long Sleeve Shirt, IBKul Skirt and Bomba Socks. In colder weather, I love these lightweight Joggers and this super soft Turtleneck by Vuori and other brands.I add a Down Vest, if it is especially cold. Check out all these athleisure styles here.
