It's the most wonderful time of the year, but it's also particularly hectic for those in the hospitality industry.Despite the late nights and long hours, there's still gifting to be done.Again this year, Screen Pilot surveyed an array of hoteliers, management teams, marketing folks and other hospitality professionals to see what's on their wish list.Whether you’re shopping for clients and colleagues, have a loved one in the industry, or are simply rounding out a wish list for yourself, here are ten holiday gift ideas for hospitality peeps and patrons.Cuisinart Cold Brew Coffeemaker$100
Legit cold brew takes between 12 and 24 hours to make, right? Wrong!We love the efficiency of this cold brew machine, making smooth, ready-to-drink cold brew coffee in about half an hour.Select a mild, medium or bold brew, watch an episode of The Office, and pow … you're drinking cold brew.Makes seven cups at a time, so you can share with your officemates, or refrigerate for a later date.Rabbit Axis Lever Corkscrew$50

Frequent travelers sometimes find it impractical to wear their traditional – possibly expensive, possibly heirloom – wedding ring.Don’t stress about leaving your diamond ring at the hotel, or misplacing it in the TSA fray. QLAO (Quality, Athletics, Love and Outdoors) rings are an affordable alternative for travelers who embrace the symbolism of a band but need a more versatile, less flashy ring.QLAO's comfortable, silicone bands are perfect for the outdoorsy and exercise obsessed, and are available in a myriad of colors and designs for both him and her.Shacke Pak Packing Cubes$25

When trying to avoid checking luggage (and the associated fees), cubes are the key to success, and considerably less-wrinkled attire.There are a wide range of cubes out there in various sizes and styles.

Available in a range of colors.Spotify Premium Subscription$119.88
Music has the unique ability to make both the most enjoyable travel more memorable, and the most grueling hauls more barrable.A premium Spotify subscription offers ad-free streaming, unlimited skips and – best of all for road warriors – the ability to listen offline, such as in flight, or places they otherwise can't get a signal.Pro tip: Purchase a Premium Subscription gift card through Costco and save $20.olloclip Fisheye + Super-Wide + Macro Essential Camera Lenses$99.99
