Business Jet Traveler's 2021 Gift Guide

Rocket Through the Wilderness

Roam makes durable, lightweight, color-customizable luggage that will inspire your favorite traveler to hit the road. We love our monogrammed bright pink and red Jaunt XL Extra Capacity Carry-on, which we designed via a simple online process and received within a week. The interior compression system allows for several extra outfits. $525 at roamluggage.com

Heartbeat

The one who has your heart will be reminded of your devotion when you present Lumas’s gold “Love in Bloom” flower vase, which represents a human heart with valves that act as holders for stems. If this sculpture doesn’t stir your soul, something else is bound to do so at Lumas, an online gallery that offers exceptional art at entry-level prices. $129 at lumas.com

Cute and Compact

A shadow-printed monogrammed jewelry case from Mark and Graham marries form with function. It holds dozens of baubles but is compact enough to store in a shoulder bag, so your most bedazzled loved ones will never be far from their favorite jewels. $80 at markandgraham.com

Pull Up a Chair

Toddlers will spend hours crafting, chatting, and having tea parties at Ecobirdy’s indoor/outdoor table and chairs set. Bonus: it’s made from recycled plastic toys. $750 at goodeeworld.com

Cozy Fingers and Toes

If your loved ones struggle in cold climates, give them the gift of warmth with Snow Deer heated socks and Akaso heated gloves. Both come with rechargeable batteries and high ratings from consumers. $80 each at amazon.com 

Space Calls

Looking for a gift that’s truly out of this world? SpaceX is selling seats aboard its rockets for Earth or lunar orbit, and you can book a spot for as early as next year. SpaceX competitor Blue Origin is also selling seats on its flights. If both of those would bust your budget, consider Space Perspective, which charges a somewhat more down-to-earth fee for a gentle six-hour journey in a balloon-shaped pressurized cabin. The company is planning its first flight for 2024. About $1 million at spacex.com, price on request at blueorigin.com, $125,000 at spaceperspective.com

Fresh Air

Although air purifiers became de rigueur during COVID, finding one that’s quiet and effective can be a challenge. Coway’s AP-1512HH Mighty air purifier, which earned top marks from the New York Times’ Wirecutter site, is ideal for pet owners, allergy sufferers, or just about anyone who breathes air and worries about germs. Contaminants this HEPA-rated unit will destroy include animal dander, pollen, dust mites, mold, and bacteria that contain virus. $164 at amazon.com

Jump for Joy

Are your kids going stir-crazy—and making you crazy? Get them outside year-round with a trampoline. This Jumpflex 15-footer offers the highest levels of safety, with poles that curve away from the mat and an extra-soft net. It can handle 550 pounds at one time and comes with a 10-year warranty. $900 at jumpflex.com

A Wreath for All Seasons

A live eucalyptus and pepperberry wreath from Creekside Farms offers a fresh take on the classic that will turn a lucky recipient’s home or office into a festive and calm-smelling oasis. $100 at creeksidefarms.com

Perfect Pizza

Know any pizza fanatics? The top-rated Ooni Koda 16 gas-powered pizza oven heats up to 950 degrees, which allows for stone-baked pies that taste as good as anything you’ll find in a restaurant. Not only that but it cooks them in a mere 60 seconds. Multi-fuel and wood-pellet models are available as well. $399 at ooni.com

Cherished Memories

Artsonia will turn original art from children of all ages into greeting cards, canvas art, coffee mugs, and more. The website makes it easy to upload a photo of a cherished one’s art, and the company takes it from there. $5–$50 at artsonia.com

Stronger Now

Fitness buffs will appreciate this chic set of arm weights, which comes in one- or two-pound versions and a variety of colors. They’re perfect for strength training or adding extra oomph to a leisurely stroll. $50–$65 at shopbala.com

Totally Rad!

A fold-up electric bike from Rad Power Bikes is the ultimate gift for your favorite city commuter. When fully charged, it will ride for up to 45 hours, and the fat tires make it sturdy and rugged. For approximately $200, the company will arrange for the bike to be assembled by a local expert. $1,300 at radpowerbikes.com
