Keeping Travel Dreams Alive with Well Told Design Products
For the first time in a long time, I’ve spent more time at home than on the road. And not by choice. Regardless of the reason, there’s always going to be a time in life when you can’t travel. And in those times, travel memories are what keep me going.
When you travel as much as I do, collecting souvenirs can be impractical, which is why I love incorporating my travels into products I can use at home. Well Told Designs has an amazing line of custom glassware that you can customize to commemorate a special event or a memorable trip.
These products also make fantastic gifts for your favorite travel partners.
Well Told Design
The premise behind Well Told Design products is to personalize and customize everyday objects to make them more special. With a major focus on sustainability in their products and packaging, this is a company I am excited to partner with.
Their product line ranges from home decor and kitchenware to outdoor products like tumblers and fleece blankets. You can personalize the products with city maps, lake maps, airport and runway maps, marathon maps, and even a view of the night sky from any time and place you choose.
Bar Board
These solid maple cutting boards make the perfect “moving away” gift or wedding favor. One side is smooth for cutting, while the other side features an etching of your choice.
Choose from a map of your favorite cities’ streets, a topography map of your favorite mountain, or an etching of the night sky from a special time or place in your life.
Pocket Flask
This 6-oz pocket flask is the perfect accessory for cocktails on the go! First, you choose from matte black, matte white, or stainless steel. Then, choose which type of design you want. Options include U.S. Cities, U.S. College towns, U.S. state maps, topography maps, and night sky patterns.
These Well Told flasks are a perfect party favor for bachelor and bachelorette parties, or homecoming celebrations with your college friends. I chose the black matte flask with my home state of California etched on the side. This one’s definitely coming with me on my next Southern California road trip!
Stemless Wine Glass
When I’m at home enjoying a glass of wine, chances are, I’m reminiscing about my travels. That’s why I chose the city streets of Paris for my set of stemless wine glasses. Paris and wine go hand in hand, so it’s only fitting that I am fondly reminded of one of my favorite European cities every time I pour a glass.
These 15 oz glasses can be etched with your favorite city, Caribbean islands, or the London or Tokyo marathon courses.
Rocks Glass
Sometimes I feel like whiskey instead of wine. These rocks glasses are super sleek and offer the largest selection of etchings. For your 11 ounce glasses, choose from the custom night sky, constellations, city maps, world topography, airports & runways, math & science, and even literature.
For my rocks glasses, I chose the airports and runways design with JFK and LAX designs. I’ve spent many, many hours in the New York and Los Angeles airports; so much so that they have become my home away from home. So it’s only fitting that I have them etched on my whiskey glasses at home.
Night Sky Insulated Tumbler
As a travel writer, I’m on the go a lot. So while I love my Well Told glassware and bar board, I love the insulated tumbler even more because I can take it with me. The insulated products come in a 20-ounce tumbler, 12-ounce wine tumbler, and a 21-ounce hydration bottle.
Since this product will be traveling with me, I chose to customize a night sky scene from my date of birth in Saratoga Springs, New York. Not only is this a useful travel item, but it’s also a great conversation starter!
Other Well Told Design Products
One of my other favorite lines from Well Told Design is the Lake Map Mugs. Choose a favorite lake like Crater Lake, which we visited on the ultimate Oregon Road Trip, or Lake George New York, where I spent a lot of time while growing up in New York. There are so many cool products to choose from; gift-giving just got a lot easier!
