We may not be able to invite all of our readers on a first-class flight around the world, but we can at least escort you there in spirit — which is, of course, why we wanted to choose a travel theme for this year’s Holiday Gift Guide, with each installment featuring items inspired by a specific city around the world.

The ABCs of our A To Z Holiday Gift Guide took us through a miscellany of Art Deco, Blossom-themed, and Color-Blocked goods, while the D, E, and F installment allowed us to immerse ourselves in Dainty knickknacks, Egyptian-themed fare, and Fur-Trimmed fashions.
Last week, we kicked off our A to Z Holiday Gift Guide coverage by taking a Sesame Street-worthy approach to the task, tackling items corresponding to the first three letters of the alphabet, with A standing for Art Deco, B for Blossoms, and C for Color Blocking.
