What do you give someone who is tuned in to the latest technology or testing out the next innovation before it's trending? We asked Aileen McBride, our director of e-commerce. She knows the power of the internet, apps, technology and how to harness it all to make the most of her holiday vacation. See how she’s downloading this season.  

Any holiday plans?

Visiting family in Bali for the holidays and then running away from responsibilities at Yacht Week (British Virgin Islands) to ring in the New Year!

Are there any apps that help you get through holiday shopping, travel or holiday planning?

I would be nowhere without my apps! Momondo, App in the Air, and Trip List get me through travel planning. Furbo helps me stay sane away from my dogs. Netflix keeps me entertained. Google Maps and mpstr help me remember all the places I visit and eat at, most importantly. Tile helps me find everything that I keep losing. (Where is my passport?!) Most importantly, Rome2Rio helps me get from point A to point B no matter where in the world I am.  

What do you think is a tech lover’s dream gift?

Have you seen the Chanel keyboard clutch? Or, if I’m really dreaming, I wouldn’t hate unwrapping a Chanel Robot Minaudière from the Spring 2017 collection.

What are you looking forward to this holiday season?

Unplugging (though I probably won’t) and unwinding (highly unlikely).
