Unique Travel Gifts
These unique gifts for travel lovers are things you don’t see on every Christmas/ Hanukkah/ Kwanza/ Non-Denominational Holiday gift guide. I love them because you don’t see them everywhere and they let that special someone know you put at least a little bit of thought into what to get them.
1. A World Map That Lets Them Track Their Travels
One of the best presents for a traveler is a high-quality, framed map. This beautiful map sits above my own desk and is well-decorated with push pins showcasing all the wonderful places I’ve traveled, and even the not so wonderful… sorry New Jersey.
While I work on my travel blog I love looking up, and dreaming of my next trip. Your loved one is sure to love this map as well. (And I’m only kidding about New Jersey.)
2. A Very Cute Vaccine Card Protector
If your loved one is anything like me they’re constantly misplacing that damn COVID vaccine card. Depending on where they go in the world, they may still need to present their “plague pass” and now they can do it in cheeky style.
3. A Travel Journal with Prompts
I love a good travel journal and this one really stands out because of its fantastic prompts. It will help them record the details of their trip and savor those memories for years to come. They’ll never again forget that restaurant with the great bolognese in Rome or the time they encountered their first squat toilet in Beijing. Ok, maybe they won’t want to journal about the toilet, but you get the gist.
4. An Inflatable Kayak for Their Adventures
Last year my brother and I decided to exchange Christmas gifts based on a theme. The theme was zombie apocalypse. Part of my gift was this fabulous inflatable Kayak meant for a speedy getaway should anyone come looking to feed on his brain. The zombies may not have come, but he still enjoyed hours of fun exploring in this 2 person inflatable kayak.
5. A Fun Road Trip Game
If you have a loved one who enjoys road trips, great travel games will help pass the time on those long drives. Featuring games, challenges, and hypotheticals, Carpool Chaos helps them avoid the utter monotony of driving through hours of corn fields and green mile markers on their way to that fabulous destination. It’s also perfect and perfectly appropriate for the whole family.
6. A Maps Rocks Glass
Showcasing maps from several cities, these glasses make the perfect gifts for people who love to travel. They’re also great for people who moved away and want a little slice of home with their whiskey. My fiance and I have a set from both our home cities and our current home of Los Angeles. Sig Alerts not included.
7. Backpack Stool Cooler Chair
This fun little item is actually three gifts travelers will love. It’s a backpack, a stool, and a cooler all in one. It’s the perfect gift for that person who loves to camp, fish, hike, or spend time outdoors. This little portable all-in-one is sure to make them smile. Bonus points if you fill it with beer.
8. A Premium Travel Blanket and Pillow
We all have that friend or family member who’s always cold. And to be perfectly honest that little scrap of fabric airlines call a blanket just doesn’t cut it. This premium soft travel blanket and pillow even comes with a backpack clip so it won’t take up valuable space in their luggage.
9. Portable Espresso Maker
Turn any camping trip into a glamping trip with the Wacaco Nanopresso Portable Espresso Maker. And let’s face it, if they spent the night sleeping on the ground they’re going to need an incredible cup of joe. The Nanopresso does just that.
10. A Travel Stub Diary
I was gifted this a few years back and LOVE it. I already filled mine up with tons of travel memories and may even buy myself another. Because I happen to be one of those holiday shoppers who follows the one for me, one for you buying plan.
Luxury Travel Gifts
These are the poshest gift ideas for travel lovers. If you have a little extra money to spend on presents for a traveler then this is the section for you. Their peak design and functionality will have the traveler in your life exclaiming ‘where did you ever find these perfect travel gifts?!’ Well, Sick Girl Travels, of course.
1. A Silk Sleep Mask
If you’re looking for a luxury travel gift that won’t break the bank, look no further. This blackout mask is perfect for shutting out the cruel world and catching some much-needed sleep. Plus, it feels like you’re being whisked away on a cloud.
2. Frye Men’s Leather Messenger Bag
I love Frye leather goods. Their bags are unparalleled in quality. If you want to be a travel gifting icon, give them a Frye bag. If you want to be a regular old gifter, gift them a Jansport.
3. A Temperature Controlled Travel Mug
The perfect gift for a travel lover, or that special someone who has a long commute to work. Oh, heck, they’re even great for that person who works from home. The point is, the Ember Temperature-controlled Travel mug will keep their coffee hot and safe from spills. So forget about those Starbucks gift cards and gift them an Ember.
4. The Ultimate Travel Size Shaving Kit
The Art of Shaving turns the simple act of removing facial hair into a luxurious experience and their travel sized kit is no exception. Sure, it’s a practical gift, but it’s a practical gift with style.
5. The LARQ Self-Cleaning Water Bottle
If there’s anything the last few years have taught us it’s that germs are everywhere. Even in your water bottle. So surprise that special germaphobic someone in your life with the LARQ Self-Cleaning water bottle. And if they really want to kill all the germs they can fill it with vodka.
6. Campo Relax Travel Diffuser
I’m crazy about diffusers and adore the Camp Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser. Imagine my joy when I saw they make it in travel size! It’s perfect for creating a relaxing spa-style environment while on the road. Let them tune out that long day of traipsing from ancient site to ancient site, herding their kids through piazzas, or trying to get that damn SIM card to work with the Campo Travel Ultrasonic Essential Oil Diffuser.
7. Dyson Corrale Hair Straightener
Dyson is the Lamborghini of hair tools. And bladeless fans. But the latter is not really useful for straightening your hair. What is useful is their Corrale Hair Straightener. Seriously, if you’re looking for great travel gifts for women, this should be near the top of your list. She will light up with joy when she opens it.
8. TUMI Hannah Leather Backpack
Ah, TUMI, the luggage of luxury. I have several TUMI bags and I adore them all. They make great presents for travel lovers because travel lovers know TUMI makes a great product.
9. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EQ Noise Cancelling Earbuds
Full disclosure, these Bang & Olufsen wireless earbuds are one of the few items on this gift guide that I don’t have or haven’t gifted, but after reading the rave reviews and seeing them on so many blogger’s gift guides they made it to the top of my wishlist. They’re noise canceling, waterproof, and offer 20 hours of playtime. Plus, they’re adorably stylish and come in a variety of colors.
10. YETI Cooler
If you have a travel lover who loves the outdoors then they need a YETI cooler. There simply is no comparison. Sure they’re expensive, but they’ll outlast humanity and still keep your items fresh and chilled inside. They also come in a variety of colors and really take a beating.
Travel Tech
These tech gifts for travel lovers will make you a gift-giving hero. They all make good travel gifts because they help make the travel experience easier. Some even make life in general easier. I’m looking at you, Fire Tablet for kids.
1. Apple Airpods Max Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling Headphones
I’m an Apple addict. In fact, I’m typing this on my Apple Macbook Pro while checking my Apple Watch, listening to my Apple Airpods, and avoiding telemarketers on my Apple iPhone. I can say with absolute certainty if you want to gift them a real decadent listening experience, gift them Apple Airpods Max Wireless Over-Ear Headphones. These are so comfy and unlike the in-ear AirPods, they won’t fall out and get lost while they’re snoozing on a plane. Plus, just look at this beautiful sky-blue color!
2. A VPN Secure Travel Gigabit Wireless Router
I’ve had to do a lot of business meetings lately while on the road and few things chap my hide more than losing signal while in the middle of an important zoom call. This wireless little travel router is perfect for the business traveler or anyone trying to maintain a hotel wifi signal while on the road.
3. An Apple Universal Travel Adapter
This Apple World Travel Adapter Kit makes a great gift for an Apple-loving family member or friend going abroad. The 7 AC plugs included support outlets in North America, Japan, China, the UK, Continental Europe, Korea, Australia, and Hong Kong. The kit is designed to work with iPod, iPhone, iPad, Apple MagSafe Power Adapters, Portable Power Adapters, and AirPort Express.
4. A Great Little Power Bank
One of the best gifts for travel lovers is a powerful little power bank. It’s so easy to drain your battery taking photos and videos or just having your phone constantly search for a decent wifi signal. Enter this powerful little power bank compatible with all cell phones. It even comes with its own cute little carrying case.
5. A Portable Hard Drive
Another great gift for the business traveler or anyone who does work on the road. This portable external hard drive works with both Mac and PC has rave reviews, and doesn’t take up much space. So they’ll have room to bring you back a fabulous souvenir.
6. A Rechargeable Hand Warmer
I thought I knew what cold was having attended college in Syracuse New York, but that was nothing compared to Harbin, China. It was there in the negative thirty-five-degree temperatures that I discovered the glory of the Orastone Rechargeable Electric Hand-Warmer. This little stylish item makes a great gift. If their phalanges are frequently freezing, then they need this cute little hand warmer.
7. Wireless Transmitter/Receiver With Audio Sharing for Up to 2 Wireless Headphones
Have you ever wanted to use your own comfy, state-of-the-art headphones to watch your seatback entertainment on a flight? Ever wanted to watch a movie with a friend or family member on an iPad, but don’t want to do that awkward thing where you each have one earbud and end up watching the whole thing in mono instead of stereo? This little gadget solves both of those problems. Anyone receiving this little gadget will love the freedom it allows for in-flight viewing and audio sharing.
8. A Kindle
By now everyone knows what a Kindle is. They’re on every gift list. But they're on them for a reason. They’re awesome. Mine is going on 10 years old and still works like a charm. Besides, people aren’t reading enough these days. Encourage them to pick up a good book by giving them a Kindle.
9. A Charging Station That Charges Everything
I use this next charging dock at home and on the road because I love my gadgets, but I can’t stand having cords all over my hotel room trying to plug in my headphones, smartwatch, and phone. This keeps everything neat and tidy and only requires one outlet. So no tripping on their way to the bathroom at night.
10. A Tablet for Kids
Keeping kids busy is integral to enjoying any trip. And how do you keep kids busy? Well, with the fire 7 for kids, of course. I gave one of these to my niece a few years back and I haven’t seen her since. Pair it with a set of headphones and let the real vacation begin.
Luggage Gifts
1. A Stylish Luggage Set
I love luggage. And thanks to the airlines manhandling my bags like WWE Summerslam, I’ve tested a lot of bags and I know what takes a licking and keeps on ticking. The Samsonite Winfield Hardside Luggage set is as strong as it is beautiful.
2. Digital Luggage Scale
With most airlines now charging for bags and putting limits on bag weights, an electronic luggage scale is a must. This little gadget has saved my butt from unnecessary fees on more than one occasion. It’s an inexpensive gift that will keep on giving.
3. Bagsmart Toiletry Bag Travel Bag with Hanging Hook
The Bagsmart travel toiletry bag has made a few of my buying guides here on Sick Girl Travels. First, as advertised it’s a great little toiletry bag that keeps all your bathroom essentials sorted while traveling. Second, it’s an awesome gift for anyone with a chronic illness who travels with medications. This bag is a great way for someone going abroad to sort their medications and keep their prescriptions safe. Traveling internationally with medications can be a real hassle. This bag makes it easy.
4. Travelon Antitheft Bag
I purchased the Travelon Anti-Theft Messenger bag 5 years ago and it’s still my go-to bag for all of my travels. Best of all, it still looks as good as the day I bought it. The Travelon Anti-Theft Messenger bag has a compartment for all their worldly possessions and keeps grubby hands off their goods in those high-traffic pickpocket areas. It’s another great gift for friends going abroad.
5. A Cool Travel Backpack
So many travel backpacks are the bland grey color of two-week-old meat. Not this stylish Travel Carry On Backpack! It comes in a variety of cool colors and stores everything from a laptop to a pair of shoes, making it my top choice for a cool travel backpack.
6. Hardside Luggage Carry On
I love Ben Sherman and this hard-side 4-wheel spinner is no exception. They’ll recognize their luggage easily because it will be the chicest bag on the conveyor belt. Help them travel in style with this lightweight 20-inch Ben Sherman carry-on.
7. Packing Cubes
I’ve tried a lot of compression packing cubes, from old-school vacuum bags to plain plastic compression bags, and the best by far are the BAGSMART Compression Packing Cubes. They come in a variety of colors, they’re washable, and they really do their job well. Help the traveler in your life fit more into their suitcase with these stylish packing cubes.
8. Roverlund Airline Compliant Dog Carrier
I travel a lot with my 7-year-old french bulldog, Miss Madelyn Pew. I’ve also helped fly over 40 rescue dogs out of China to their forever homes in the US. And I’ve had a lot of trouble finding a great bag that’s airline compliant and is sturdy enough for those super chewer escape artists. The Roverlund Airline Compliant Pet Carrier is that bag. It even includes a cute leash. It’s rated for dogs up to 20lbs, but truth be told, Miss Madelyn can get a little chunky around the holidays (can’t we all), and I’ve pushed that limit up to 25 lbs without issue.
9. A Great Go Anywhere Duffle Bag
I cannot recommend the importance of a great duffle bag enough. Who among us hasn’t gone a little souvenir crazy and needed some extra space on the trip home? Gift the traveler in your life this awesome Travel Duffel Bag and they may even gift you a giant bar of airport Toblerone in thanks.
Travel Books
Books make great holiday gifts. Especially a giant, glossy coffee table book. Whether they love to travel or they’re just dreaming of taking that trip around the world, they’ll love these awesome travel books.
1. Destinations of A Lifetime by National Geographic
I gifted this book to my fiance recently and he absolutely loved it. It’s perfect for the frequent traveler in your life looking to add to their bucket list. It features 225 of the world’s most amazing places and it’s sure to make them discover a far-off land they didn’t know existed.
2. The Bucket List: 1000 Adventures Big and Small
Speaking of bucket lists, this is the go-to bucket list book. With 1,000 adventures it’s perfect for the person who thinks they’ve seen and done it all. Because they’re sure to discover they haven’t.
3. The Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World
This beautiful book sits on my coffee table at home. It’s great to thumb through and discover the best part of every country in the world. They’re sure to learn something new every time they open it. It’s ideal for those travelers looking to get their passports stamped from every country in the world.
4. Cruising Attitude: Tales of Crashpads, Crew Drama, and Crazy Passengers at 35,000 Feet
This juicy read is perfect for frequent flyers, those who work in the airline industry, or anyone who’s curious about how the inflight sausage gets made. Author Heather Poole takes you through some of the most dramatic passengers, bizarre inflight tales, and crazy goings on in this super witty tell-all. Their time will fly by on that next trip and even have them laughing out loud with this fantastic read.
5. World Travel: An Irreverent Guide by Anthony Bourdain
Anthony Bourdain’s “World Travel An Irreverent Guide” should be required reading for any travel lover. It’s a #1 New York Times Best Seller for a reason. If you can’t gift travel, gift this travel book.
6. New York Times 36 Hours Series
I love the New York Times 36 Hours series and own every single book in the series. I probably get the most use out of the Europe edition but if the traveler in your life enjoys other far-off locations you could always gift them the Asia, Oceana, South America, or North American versions. Each of them takes you through 36 hours of must-see, eat and stay destinations in major cities throughout that region. I frequently use these books to plan my excursions and have gifted them to friends and family on many occasions.
7. Atlas of National Parks by National Geographic
Do you know a national park lover? then they need the National Geographic Atlas of The National Parks by Jon Waterman. It’s another awesome coffee table book from which they’ll get tons of valuable information. They’ll also be blown away by the gorgeous photos inside.
8. Heads in Beds: A Reckless Memoir
The Heads in Beds Memoir was recommended to me by my future brother-in-law who is a voracious reader and avid traveler. And let me just say, it did not disappoint. It’s another behind-the-scenes tell-all that takes the hospitality industry to task in the most charming of ways.
9. 50 States 5,000 Ideas
If you have a traveler on your list who prefers to stick to domestic trips they’ll love National Geographic’s “50 States, 5,000 Ideas.” This is everything they’ll need to know to inspire amazing US adventures.
Gifts to Fill Their Carry On
This may be my favorite section on the list. The gifts are not only practical, but everything in this section is under $50. And the one thing I love more than travel is a great deal.
1. Twist Memory Foam Travel Pillow
As someone with chronic pain, I’ve gone through my fair share of travel neck pillows and regular pillows. While there are several I like, the Twist Memory Foam Travel Pillow is the clear leader. Why? Because it’s so much more than a travel neck pillow. This memory foam pillow can be twisted every which way and used not only as a neck pillow but as chin, lumbar, and leg support. If you have a traveler on your list who struggles with pain and an inability to get or stay comfortable while on the road, this is the perfect gift.
2. Travel Toiletry Bottle Set
These squishy little BPA-free travel bottles come in a variety of eye-catching colors and are the perfect way to store their shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, and more. They’re also leakproof and believe me, I’ve put that to the test. There are few things worse than a soapy, soggy suitcase. These are perfect for the traveler who’s partial to their own beauty products and doesn’t want to wait and see what’s available at the hotel.
3. Reusable Water Bottle
Your mother was right, hydration is key. Listen to your mother and gift this Brita 26 Ounce Premium Filtering Water Bottle. It’s BPA free and comes in a variety of beautiful colors.
4. Clear TSA Approved Toiletry Bags
I’ve noticed while traveling abroad there are still many countries that require you to remove all your liquids when going through security. Few things are more annoying than fishing through one’s tampons to find that tiny bottle of lotion you forgot about. These handy clear toiletry bags allow them to see exactly what it is you’re carrying while keeping everything neatly stored in its place.
5. The Manta Sleep Mask
They won’t need to get blackout drunk on that next flight when they can just black out with the Manta Sleep Mask. This little mask is 100% light-blocking with zero eye pressure. It’s also adjustable to fit any head size. So they can tune out the world around them and catch some much-needed Zs.
6. The Best Travel Toothbrush Ever
A perennial favorite that always makes my holiday gift-giving guides, the Philips One by Sonicare is a stylish little rechargeable toothbrush to keep their pearly whites shining bright. It comes in its own little case and keeps a charge for what seems like an eternity. Seriously, I’ve been traveling with mine for the past year and haven’t needed to charge it once!
7. A Cute Bag for Their Pills
This is the pill case I use for my domestic travels when I can take my pills out of their original containers and store them in this cute little sorter.
Warning, this is not suitable for foreign travel. When traveling abroad it is important to keep one’s pills in their original bottles or they may get rejected at customs.
8. All The Travel Toiletries They’ll Ever Need
This is the be-all-end-all kit for toiletries. Containing a comb, lotion, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, shave gel, razor, toothpaste, mouthwash, toothbrush, deodorant, emery board, bath puff, sleep mask, moisturizer, and more! It’s everything they’ll need to take care of their personal hygiene on the road.
9. An Electronics Organizer
Remember all those fun electronics I recommended a few sections back? All of them need cords. And cords cause a giant mess in the bottom of one’s luggage. This is why I also recommend the BAGSMART Electronic organizer. No longer will they be fishing around for their charging cords, power brick, or stylus. Organization may just be the best gift of all. Besides cash or check.
Travel Photography Gifts
Photos are arguably one of the most important parts of travel. Because as we all know, pics or it didn’t happen. Make the one on your holiday list has all the best camera equipment they need to capture memorable travel photos and videos.
1. A Great Point and Shoot Camera
If you know someone who wants a quality point-and-shoot camera that doesn’t require reading a massive manual, or taking a course in photography, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSCW810 is that camera. It’s super light and slim, garners excellent reviews, and takes high-quality photos so they can build those great vacation memories.
2. A GoPro
If you know someone who wants to take great amazing shots, travel videos or capture underwater action, a GoPro is a must. I adore mine and I’ve literally taken it around the world, under the sea, and up several mountains. It’s been on safari, flipped upside down on a roller coaster, and withstood temperatures well below freezing. It’s even been picked up by dogs and gone swimming with sea turtles. And it’s given me awesome videos so I can hang on to those memories forever.
3. An Instax Instant Camera
I was gifted an Instax camera a few years ago and it’s a fabulously fun toy. I love the instant photos which are great for group shots and family gatherings. If you have someone on your list who loves to scrapbook, they’ll have tons of fun turning those vacation shots into scrapbook art with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 40.
4. A Flexible Tripod With Wireless Remote
This portable tripod is the perfect travel companion for setting up great shots. No longer will they have tilted shots or photos prominently featuring their fingers. The UBeesize Phone Tripod guarantees they can wirelessly snap the perfect photo or video using the tiny included remote.
5. A Combo Selfie Stick and Tripod That Works With Any Phone
UBeesize has created the perfect tripod selfie stick combo that’s great for any solo traveler. It allows them to take great travel photos that they’re actually in!
I once went on an amazing solo trip to South Africa, but you’d never know it because I’m in exactly three of the photos and they’re all long-armed selfie shots where you can barely make out the background. Great shot of Table Mountain or pic of me standing in front of a shrub at my house? We’ll never know. I should have had a UBeesize Phone tripod Stand & Selfie Stick combo.
6. A High-Quality Vlogging Camera for the Travel Blogger
I read a lot of travel blogs. And time and time again I see bloggers recommending the Canon EOS M6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera. It’s autofocus, shoots 4K video, Wi-Fi enabled with Bluetooth, making it the perfect travel companion. It gets rave reviews and I’m sure it will be a massive hit with the traveler in your life.
7. Underwater Smartphone SCUBA Case
This is a highly specific gift for the traveler who loves to SCUBA dive. If you know someone who wants to capture great deep sea photos, then they need the SeaLife SCUBA Case. It’s leak-proof, super sturdy, and keeps their camera safe when swimming with sharks.
8. Go Pro Accessories
Maybe the traveler on your list already has a GoPro, but do they have all the fun accouterments to get the most out of their camera? The NEEWER 50-in-1 Action Camera Accessory kit contains a myriad of mounts, a chest harness, head mount, selfie stick, tripod, travel case, and more! It’s the perfect gift to make sure they get the absolute most out of their new toy.
9. A Photo Printer for All Their Travel Photos
Maybe your loved one already has a camera they adore. But do they have a great photo printer? The Kodak Dock Plus Instant Photo Printer allows them to print high-quality 4x6 photos so they can get those travel photos off the cloud and into real life. I’ve used this little gem to create a framed travel photo wall in my own home. I take all my zoom calls in front of this wall and constantly receive compliments. And with an 80-sheet bundle of photo paper included they’ll be well on their way to creating their own photo wall.
10. The Best Overall Travel Camera
If you’re looking for a more sophisticated camera than a simple point-and-shoot, the OM System OM-5 45mm camera is your girl. They’ll be blown away by this camera with IP53 for the most extreme conditions, including dustproof, splashproof and freezeproof performance to -10℃. The Cross Quad Pixel AF delivers 1,053 point, all cross-type 100% high-precision focusing. And if that sounds fancy, it is.
Travel Apparel
Clothes. Unless they’re traveling to a nudist colony, they need them. Even then, it’s hard to get through TSA without clothes. Here are some of my favorites.
1. Travel Scarf with Pocket
Forget diamonds, when it comes to travel, pockets are a girl’s best friend. I love this Zero Grid Infinity Scarf which allows me to safely stash items on the go. It also converts to a blanket for those super chilly flights.
2. A Stylish Pair of Compression Socks
If you’re an avid reader of my blog, you know I love a good compression sock that doesn’t look like an orthopedic nightmare. After a flight from Tokyo to Los Angeles, I experienced my very first case of edema and discovered the vital importance of the compression sock. I now wear them on all my long-haul flights. Gift that special person on your list a stylish pair of premium compression socks. These socks below come in a variety of colors and patterns suitable for both men and women.
3. A Packable Lightweight Men’s Water-Resistant Puffer Jacket
Amazon Essentials has come up with the perfect packable lightweight water-resistant puffer jacket. My fiance loves a good puffer jacket, but there’s nothing like shoving a Gortex jacket into one’s suitcase and realizing you only have room left for socks and underwear. Not the case with this great Amazon Essentials Jacket. It leaves plenty of space for everything you need and keeps you warm when you get where you’re going.
4. A Comfortable Pair of Dr. Scholl’s Sneakers
Comfort is key with travel and nobody knows that better than Dr. Scholl’s. Gift that special person on your list this comfy pair of slip-on shoes and they’ll breeze through security and walk on clouds to their destination and back.
5. Insulated Snow Pants
Admittedly I’m not a skier. I don’t enjoy any activity that’s largely based on falling down. But I do enjoy snowmobiling, which is how I discovered this great pair of Arctix Women’s Insulated Snow Pants. If the traveler on your list has plans to enjoy some snow-related activities, these pants make a great gift.
6. A Heated Jacket
I didn’t even know heated jackets were a thing until recently and now I don’t know how I’ve managed to live without one. This jacket is not only great for keeping them warm, but it’s great for people with back and joint pain.
7. A Super Cozy Flannel
The 90s are all the rage and what’s more 90s than a flannel? The Legendary Whitetails Standard Cottage Escape Flannel Shirt makes a great gift for the woman on your list.
8. The Most Comfortable Hoodie
LuLuLemon has me in LuLuLove with their Scuba hoodie. Winter is all about staying cozy and few things are cozier than this hoodie.
Travel Stocking Stuffers
Looking for the perfect stocking stuffer? Look no further. These are small items that make perfect gifts for people who love to travel. Best of all most of these are travel lover gifts under $20 so you can go crazy stuffing their stockings with care.
1. Travel Size Laundry Bag
One thing that drives me crazy on the road is having my clean clothes mix with my dirty clothes. Nobody likes a stinky tourist. Gift them a laundry bag to help them stay fresh and organized. I love this world map design that folds up easily and unfurls to fit all their dirty laundry.
2. A Leather Passport Holder
This chic travel wallet comes in a wide variety of colors and fits a passport, cash, receipts, credit cards, and even a pen. I own it in several colors and can’t believe the quality you get for such an inexpensive price.
3. A Stylish Manicure Set
Keep their hangnails trimmed while traveling with this stylish little manicure kit. I love the studded detail on the nail clippers and the bright red interior. It’s practical and pretty.
4. Apple Air Tags
These little air tags are perfect for slipping into their luggage to keep track of their worldly possessions when the airlines can’t. They can even keep one on their keyring so they never again pester you into helping them find their keys.
5. Apple Airtag Keychains
You can’t give an Apple Airtag without giving a waterproof Airtag keyring. It’s like giving a toy without the batteries. Help them put their gift to use immediately with these chic little keyrings.
6. A Colorful Face Mask
Have a traveler on your list who’s still trepidacious about travel because of COVID-19? Gift them this pack of KN95 masks that come in a variety of colors to match their every outfit.
7. A TSA-Approved Leatherman Multifunctional Tool
My fiance once had to surrender his Swiss army knife on a trip to Rome and spend an hour at security mailing it back to himself. This little TSA-approved Leatherman allows them to keep their tools and avoid the hassle. Because nobody wants to spend their vacation sitting in airport security.
8. A Personal Security Alarm for That Solo Traveler
As a solo female traveler, I love this next gift idea. There have been several times on the road where I’ve had a mysterious stranger knocking at my door. This Personal Security Door Stop Alarm keeps unwanted people out and alerts your loved ones to possible intruders.
9. Rosewater Scented Hand Sanitizer
This little travel stocking stuffer is perfect if they’re sick of smelling like rubbing alcohol then they’ll love this rosewater-scented antibacterial hand sanitizer. It slips easily into a pocket and keeps those COVID, cold, and flu germs at bay so they can enjoy their travels unencumbered by those evil germs.
10. A Collapsible Water Bottle
This next highly practical stocking stuffer gift is the most collapsable little water bottle available. It folds down to slip easily into a purse or carry-on and helps keep them hydrated while traveling. It also comes in a variety of colors, so you can buy one for the whole family.
11. A Travel Size Gift that Moisturizes Everything
Flying has a way of zapping all the moisture from one’s body. Put that moisture back with Burts Bees. This cute little gift pack contains all their best items in one giftable tin. So minimal wrapping involved. Yay!
12. Tide Travel Sink Packs
If you have a minimalist traveler in your life they’ll really enjoy these Tide sink packs. No need to pack two weeks’ worth of outfit changes when they can simply wash their items in the sink and get that clean fresh scent of Tide.
Gift Card
Still don’t know what to get that traveler in your life? How about gift cards? Help them buy that next travel experience and if you’re lucky, they even take you along.
1. VISA Gift Card
If you’re stuck on what type of gift card to get that traveler in your life the VISA gift card is far and away the best. It’s accepted almost anywhere in the world and allows them to buy whatever their heart desires.
2. A Hotel Gift Card
Want to be more specific in your gift card giving? I suggest a Hotels.com gift card. I love Hotels. com and their great reward program that allows travelers to stay 10 nights and get one night free. I’ve racked up many a free night in my world travels and love booking through Hotels.com.
I hope you’ve enjoyed this list of gifts for travel lovers. Hopefully you’ve found the perfect gift for a travel lover in your life. Maybe even several gifts. fi you have a suggestion that’s not on the list please leave it in the comments below. I’m always on the lookout for great new products that help make travel easier.
Happy holidays!
