Biaggi

Which is better, hard or soft side luggage? Biaggi’s Runway Hardside Hybrid Carry On is both. It has a durable German polycarbonate shell and a fabric front panel that opens to the main compartment. The front panel folds to allow easy access to convenient laptop sleeves and an interior pocket. A zippered pocket on the back can hold a water bottle or similar items.

Mom will love the fact that the Runway bag glides along smoothly on Japanese Hinomoto wheels and features a removable pouch for wet or dirty clothes.

A Polynesian holiday inspired foundersPierre and Josee Fournier to create this 50-year-old fragrance company. The French name Comptoir Sud Pacifique translates to “Storefront to the Pacific,” and their best-selling fragrance for more than 30 years has been Vanille Abricot. It is a delicious mix of jackfruit, apricot, and papaya sprinkled with vanilla and sugar candy. Take one whiff, and you will know why its popularity has endured for so long.
