15 Fun Girls Weekend Destinations


    1. New York City

A classic destination for girls trips, NYC makes our list for a reason. Whether you want to sightsee, visit a spa, or eat amazing food, you can do it all in the Big Apple. Take a walking tour through the brownstones in the West Village, or wander Central Park and stop for a picnic. And don’t forget to grab a $1 pizza slice! The perfect custom product for this trip? Personalized power banks! In the city that never sleeps, you’ll be snapping photos with your smartphone from dawn to dusk—don’t let a dead device slow you down.

    1. Charleston

Charming and exciting, Charleston is the perfect Southern getaway for your group. Take a stroll down King Street and get yourself some biscuits on your way to see Rainbow Row. Don’t miss out on a bowl of shrimp and grits, either! Watch the sun set over the holy city from a rooftop bar, then listen to some live music all night long. Customize polos for everyone for a classy Southern belle look that you can wear again for your tennis match or game of golf!

    1. Austin

Keep it weird, and head to Austin! With awesome weather year-round and lots of natural beauty, Austin will fill your ears with live music and your stomach with queso. Keep an eye out for some of the city’s music festivals and buy yourself a pair of cowboy boots. After you’ve paddleboarded on Lady Bird Lake, grab some delicious Texas BBQ. With all that sunshine, you’ll need some custom sunnies for this trip. Personalize your own with the date and location, or come up with your own hashtag or saying for the weekend!

    1. Oregon Wine Country

Sure, Napa is great, but if you’re looking to drink some delicious wine and shake things up, head to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. 45 minutes south of Portland, the region is as beautiful as the hills of France with wine abound. Stop in for tastings at small, family owned vineyards, or check out the tasting room strip in Dundee. Stay at an inn overlooking the valley, and be sure to get your fill on West Coast oysters and local truffles. For a useful and fun souvenir, customize wine glasses for the group. Sip wine by the fire or take them home for your next get-together!

    1. Nashville

Strap on your boots and get ready to party in Nashville, y’all. There’s no shortage of delicious BBQ or amazing country music in this town. Head to the strip to hear up-and-coming musicians, or covers of your favorite bands. Spend the afternoon at the Country Music Hall of Fame, then refuel on some biscuits or hot chicken. As a popular bachelorette destination, you’ll want to stand out from the crowd, so customize your own tank tops. They look cool, they’ll keep you cool, and you’ll want to keep them forever!

    1. Seattle

For all you coffee aficionados out there, Seattle is the stop for you. A trip to Starbucks might be the jolt you’re looking for, but the city has tons of great smaller coffee shops and roasteries to check out, too. Head down to Pike Place Market to gander at all the fish, then make your way to the Space Needle for that perfect Insta photo. Want a once in a lifetime view of the city? Walk the (very steep) hill up to Kerry Park for a view of the city and Mount Rainier in the background. Don’t forget your custom umbrella! Seattle’s known for rain, so be prepared with your one of a kind gear.

    1. Glamping

Not tent and outhouse girls? No problem! Take your gal squad glamping. Head to Montana or Wyoming for a luxury camping experience. Pick a cabin or “tent” cabin with full working bathrooms. Hike in the mountains or go rafting down the river. Make s’mores, catch up with your friends around the fire, and wake up with the sunset. With all this outdoor activity, make sure to stay hydrated! Personalize water bottles for your whole group to take on your excursions.

    1. Nantucket

Pull on your boat shoes and head to Nantucket! Get there by ferry or plane from the mainland. Relax on the beach with the girls or read a good book under an umbrella. Visit the Whaling Museum and wander out to see some of the beautiful lighthouses. Get your fill of fresh seafood and keep an eye out for colonies of seals. Your whole group will love custom blankets to take along for the trip. Use them to sit on the beach during the day, or wrap up by the bonfire at night.

    1. Kentucky Bourbon Trail

Bourbon-loving ladies, rejoice! Get your fill on a getaway to the Kentucky Bourbon Trail. There are plenty of distilleries in the area, but 10 in particular make up the trail. From Maker’s Mark to Jim Beam, check out some of the biggest names in brown liquor. Take some tours or stick to tastings, but consider hiring a driver for your journey so you can kick back, relax, and stay safe. For some sober fun, visit the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln, or spend a day in Louisville. The perfect accessory? A casual henley t-shirt to wear all weekend long!

    1. Vermont

If you want to ski, see the foliage, or get some maple syrup, Vermont is the perfect quaint getaway. Get a cabin in the mountains so your group can get a little R&R. Visit adorable downtown Burlington for some shopping, or head to Stowe for slopes in the winter or zip-lining in the summer. Give in to that sweet tooth and visit Ben & Jerry’s for a scoop of Cherry Garcia (or whatever flavor you crave)! For the chilly nights, customize hoodies for everyone that won’t just keep you warm but will surely become a favorite after the trip is over.

    1. Chicago

The Windy City has plenty for you and your BFFs to do. Visit in the summer to take advantage of boat tours or sailing on Lake Michigan. If you visit in August, don’t miss the famous Air & Water Show. Treat yourselves to cheesy deep dish pizza, or grab some Chicago hot dogs—but don’t dare ask for ketchup! With a vibrant culinary scene, head to dinner at a steakhouse or grab drinks at speakeasy-style cocktail bars. Visit the Field Museum for a history lesson, or take a free walk through the Lincoln Park Zoo. In case of cooler temps, outfit your girls in custom windbreakers—it IS the Windy City after all!

    1. Traverse City, MI

Take a trip to Northern Michigan for beautiful sights and a relaxed atmosphere. Stay downtown with tons of walkable shops and restaurants. With plenty of wineries nearby, pick from whites, reds, and even sparkling! There’s plenty of local beer to try in Traverse City, too. Visit during cherry season and buy cartons of cherries right off the side of the road. Make sure to try some cherry pie while you’re in town, or check out some local stores that sell cherry-flavored everything! A classic t-shirt is a great addition to this trip to wear while walking the lakefront!

    1. Las Vegas

If you and your girls are looking to have a good time, head to Sin City. You know the drill—visit the casinos, sit by the pool, or see an amazing show. Walk the strip or make the trip out to see the Hoover Dam. Ride a gondola and watch the fountains at the Bellagio. While you explore, do it with custom totes! They’re perfect for carrying your sunscreen or for bringing back your shopping haul. These ensure that what happens in Vegas, stays custom!

    1. Charlottesville, VA

Just a couple hours south of Washington DC is picturesque Charlottesville. Home of UVA, the small city has become a destination for foodies, hikers, and beer and wine lovers. We’re big fans of Cville because Custom Ink has a store location here! Head to the historic downtown mall, and check out the local shops. Take a drive to scenic Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. On the way back into town there’s tons of wineries and breweries to stop for a drink and a snack. Visit UVA’s historic campus or Thomas Jefferson’s home. Personalize ¼ zip pullovers to wear on the trail or while you grab some BBQ.

    1. New Orleans

Head to NOLA for some Creole charm. Bourbon Street is a can’t miss, and be on the lookout for some live jazz music. Snack on hot beignets and see if you’re lucky enough to find a crawfish boil. If you’re stuffed from all the great food, visit one of New Orleans’ many museums like the WWII Museum and the Pharmacy Museum. Take a day trip on an airboat swamp tour to see some wild alligators! Make custom koozies for everyone to keep their drinks cold—and to remember your amazing weekend together!
