The post-vacation comedown is real. One minute you’re reclining on the beach<\/a>\u00a0with pi\u00f1a colada in hand, or whooshing down a\u00a0snow-covered slope<\/a>\u00a0on two skis, or exploring some\u00a0other storied\u00a0destination on your bucket list;\u00a0the\u00a0next minute, you’re back to the daily grind, back to work, back to “reality”….\u00a0How to\u00a0keep the vacation buzz going? We’ve rounded up\u00a0five cool,\u00a0non-cheesy\u00a0ways to commemorate your trip\u2014and\u00a0simultaneously inspire you to start planning the next one.\u00a0Have a friend or family member suffering from PVD (post-vacay\u00a0depression)? Any of the following would make for a\u00a0great gift, too.<\/p>\n

Have a\u00a0custom mural made.<\/h3>\n

Perhaps the best way to surround yourself with vacation vibes\u2014short of taking another\u00a0vacation\u2014is to select\u00a0a\u00a0favorite photo from your trip\u00a0and have a beautiful,\u00a0wall-size version of it printed. U.K.-based company Murals Wallpaper<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0offers a custom service that does just that. You select the\u00a0photo\u2014maybe that sun-setting-over-the-ocean one? The mesmerizing nighttime cityscape? The Narnia-like forest?\u2014and then an\u00a0in-house design team gets to work enlarging, enhancing and\u00a0digitally printing\u00a0your wallpaper mural for installation in a bedroom, office or\u00a0anywhere else that could benefit from a\u00a0life-size postcard.<\/p>\n

Print an\u00a0Instagram book.<\/h3>\n

A popular platform for sharing photos, Instagram is nonetheless an inefficient\u00a0way to readily relive vacation memories. Scrolling\u00a0through old ‘grams\u00a0is arguably nowhere near as\u00a0satisfying as holding an album\u00a0in your hands.\u00a0Fortunately, there are easy\u00a0ways to turn\u00a0Instagrams\u00a0into a keepsake book. Artifact Uprising<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0offers\u00a0Instagram-friendly photo books, featuring a textured eggshell cover and 100-percent recycled interior pages ($18). The editing tool connects you directly to your Instagram feed, so there’s no upload required.<\/p>\n

Order\u00a0a personalized\u00a0phone\u00a0case.<\/h3>\n

Here’s a perfect gift for the tech-dependent (and who isn’t these days?): Choose\u00a0a\u00a0fun photo from your travels\u00a0and have it printed on a smartphone case or tablet folio.\u00a0Shutterfly<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>enables you to\u00a0<\/strong>play around with a variety of designs and select\u00a0from an\u00a0array of different\u00a0iPhone models. Every time you reach for your phone or iPad, you’ll be reminded of a vacation memory\u2014not that unlistened-to voicemail or unreturned email.<\/p>\n

Print special\u00a0coasters.<\/h3>\n

Speaking of photo-printing services like Shutterfly\u00a0or\u00a0Snapfish<\/strong><\/a>, they offer\u00a0seemingly endless options in terms of\u00a0household items you can\u00a0personalize: pillows, quilts, drinkware, luggage tags, tote bags, plates. It can get out of hand pretty quickly\u2014and not everyone wants a plush\u00a0fleece blanket emblazoned with\u00a0a vacation pic\u2014which is why we think that coasters are among the more innocuous items to adorn with\u00a0travel images. They have\u00a0a distinctive function\u00a0and\u00a0can be stored away, if necessary. But choose the right series of images and you\/your giftee may be\u00a0inclined to\u00a0keep them out all year.<\/p>\n

Make a travel memory box.<\/h3>\n

Truth be told, this is about as DIY\/crafty as we get\u2014taking items like ticket stubs, postcards, maps, foreign currency and other trinkets from a trip and storing them in a wooden keepsake\u00a0box with the destination stamped on the exterior. Martha Stewart Living<\/em><\/strong> gave us the idea (just Google “travel keepsake kit” for inspiration), and the reason we love this “craft” is because it’s basically an admission\u00a0that\u00a0the fancy commemorative scrapbook we\u00a0dreamed of making just isn’t gonna\u00a0happen. Hey, more time to travel….<\/p>\n
