Christmas Gifts for Globetrotters Everywhere, From Venere.com

Tue Oct 27, 2009 9:03am EDT
Gone are the Days When all you Need is Shower gel and Shampoo! Venere.com,
Together With Mandarina Duck, has Created a Dream Travel kit and the Perfect
Christmas gift Idea...

MILAN, October 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Ever got to your hotel and found that
you have forgotten something important that you're sure not to find among the
freebies in the bathroom? Venere.com, the European on-line reservation
specialist, ever attentive to their customers' needs carried out a survey to
discover just what travellers want to find in their hotel bathroom.
    Thanks to an on-line competition over five European countries, Venere.com
has discovered the indispensable and sometimes surprising requirements of its
customers and put them into practice, creating an innovative and unique kit!
In addition to the essential shampoos and shower gels, Venere.com has
selected very practical and desired items to put together the travel kit that
you want.
    Created in collaboration with Mandarina Duck, a limited edition kit will
be available exclusively in December on the famous luggage site
(http://shop.mandarinaduck.com) for only EUR30 - a must for travel fans and a
unique Christmas gift idea for those who love to travel.
    The first that emerged from the survey is that travellers detest noise!
Be it from inside or outside their hotel room. Venere.com has therefore
included the wonderful Quies earplugs from the 'be quiet I'm trying to
sleep!' range, guaranteeing a peaceful night's sleep.
    However, the noise that bothers travellers the most is the relentless
snoring of the person sleeping next to them! Venere.com has found the
solution not with a boxing glove, or a recording of a steam-engine but with
"Breathe Right" nasal strips, which were second on the list of items most
requested by users.
    Third place goes to tweezers as every hair is one too many! The
magnifying mirrors in all new hotels reveal, whether you are a man or a
woman, those hairs that appear in the most unlikely and annoying places!
    In fourth place come plasters - always useful be it for cuts and grazes
or more likely for pains caused by brand new shoes that of course you didn't
wear in before wearing out!
    Last but not least, in fifth place are condoms. Useful for one reason and
one reason only, venere.com provides the solution to that embarrassing moment
when you realise you haven't got any and apart from ruining your 'romantic'
moment by making you run about the city desperately trying to find an open
shop, can be rather embarrassing when trying to make a more than good
impression!
    If you think the above 5 items are a must on your travels, log on to
http://shop.mandarinaduck.com where you can buy the fabulous travel kit and
never have to worry about leaving the essentials behind...
    The ultra-chic Mandarina Duck travel bag coincides with the launch of
their prestigious collection 'Drop' and Venere users get the chance to win
luggage from the new collection which is a first for Mandarina Duck, who have
entered into the world of hard-shell suitcases.
    Discover the new range at http://shop.mandarinaduck.com/travel_drop/.
    The lucky winner of the competition has won a three day stay in a hotel
in Barcelona: the splendid Hotel Vincci Condal Mar. And to round off the
competition, made-to-measure travel kits will be sent to 50 users who
participated in the competition.    For further information visit
