Here’s What TripSavvy Readers Bought This Year

Our readers' investment in good, quality items have been all about self care.

TRAVEL TODAY Travel Gifts Here's What TripSavvy Readers Bought This Year I don't know about you, but in a year where I didn't spend money on my usual living expenses and hobbies—my monthly MetroCard, post-work drinks with friends, travel—I saved a lot. Sure, I put a good chunk of that into my savings, but I also found myself buying things that I have always wanted, but didn't think I actually needed. Since I went hiking just about every weekend this past spring and fall, I ended up stocking up on things that turned out to be very much needed for my expeditions, like a water-repellant and wind-resistant down jacket and a 24-liter backpack with cushioned shoulder straps. And it appears I'm not alone in splurging on hiking gear: This year, TripSavvy readers were just as keen as I was to escape into nature, investing in products like these Salomon X Ultra 2 Mid GTX hiking boots to make each trek easier and more comfortable. Our readers' investment in good, quality items even extended into other areas of self-care, with purchases of travel humidifiers for better sleep and wool socks for a cozy, WFH set-up. While I'm keeping my fingers crossed that 2021 brings travel back into our lives, for now, I'm going to put my money towards things that will make this moment in time more bearable, and dare I say it, as fun as possible. Below, I've rounded up some of the most popular round-ups of the year so you can do this, too—face masks excluded.
