The Best Gift Ideas For Travelers

Here is the best gift ideas for travelers: I’ve compiled this list of gift ideas for those looking for gifts for travelers. Some are price reasonable, some are pricey, and the rest are somewhere in between. A few items are more practical or common than the others, and some are quite unique. This variety is intentional so you would be a wide variety of options for all types of travelers. Absolutely none of the ideas here are the crappy generic gifts you find at department stores during the holidays and reluctantly buy due to a loss for creative ideas. The gift ideas here all have some thought behind them and are hand-selected for loved ones with a passion for travel. I’m not personally longing for all these items this year, but I do hope this list gets you one step closer to a decision on what to buy your travel-loving friend or family member this holiday season. Luggage is another great idea, and you can find the best luggage choices here. Here are what I consider the best selection of Gift Ideas For Travelers:

Hello Leahrae. Christmas is fast approaching; a time to spread the love to our family and friends through giving and in this case one that loves traveling. Not even a bad idea to get one of these gifts for myself, I love traveling too. I love these ideas especially the travel jewelry case and the selfie camera.

Hey Leahrae, It’s third time I visited your website today because you provide very useful and helpful suggestion. While going on trip everyone need some useful products like Selfie Stick, Selfie Camera, Travel Sewing Kit, Travel Organizer etc. My first choice is selfie stick and selfie camera because I want to capture each moment while travelling. So these tools help me to take selfie.

Thanks, Your gift ideas are very awesome.

Hello, here I go about again following your article. Christmas is a season if love, a season where we share gifts and presents to love ones. So as to continue the spirit of Christmas.. When getting gifts i usually get small gifts from the local store I never knew you could get a gift for a traveler. Via your website I have seen the gifts that would give to shine certain people who are dear to

Wow. You really got me. I have a big problem when I go on a trip, I can’t take pictures at all because I prefer the areas not very crowded in which i want to explore alone and I do not have any people around to ask to take me a picture.

I’m going to make myself a Christmas gift – this selfie stick. I can’t wait to arrive in London in 2 weeks and take a selfie from the biggest building. Thanks a lot for such an amazing Christmas gift for travelers. If you don’t mind i will share this article on my social media accounts.

Wish you all the best !

Thank you for the awesome post! I really enjoyed this post because I actually am a traveller, and I love to visit different places around the world (it’s a hobby of mine!). Of these gifts you have recommended, the top one in my mind would be the bucket list photo book. That looks and sounds amazing to me! This is something everyone, whether they travel a lot or not, should consider buying in my opinion.

This is a really well designed web site. I am still learning things at WA. Your site is very informative with a wealth of information. My husband Paul and I love to travel. We have been to Costa Rica, Mexico and Maui. All over California and I traveled to Europe many times for work back in the 70’s. We both want to travel to Italy and Ireland in the future. I will follow you for travel ideas. I love all of the gift ideas! Thank you Leahrae

Hi Leahrae,

I’m so glad I found this! I know that these are supposed to be Christmas gifts for others but I think I found a few Christmas gifts for myself on here LOL. I desperately need the ear bud case. I always lose mine in my bag right before I get on the plane and it’s a huge pain. Also, the cork globe is so awesome! I’ve never seen something like that before. As I am starting to travel, I think that would be an awesome way to keep track of where I’ve been. Thank you so much for these suggestions!

I’m SO glad I came across your post. My sister LOVES to travel and I’ve been thinking of some unique gifts to get her this year for Christmas and this guide has given me some great ideas.

I recently purchased packing cubes for myself as I am currently working away from home, and they are one of the best things I have ever purchased. They make packing so much more organised! They’re awesome!

Thanks for sharing this!

What a great list, this will definitely come in handy especially for your “hard to get” family members or friends.

I want all of those lol I travel quiet a bit and that was a totally awesome list of all very useful products. I personally would have loved to have had a shoulder pillow on many of my flights. And the 4-in-one universal converter would be great for those of us who travel to far other countries. I think I’m going to send this page to my friends and family who have to buy for me for awesome ideas for gifts this Christmas!!

Hey Leahrae,

what can I say…your list is huge. Have you forgotten anything – I can’t think of any.

I’m not that kind of a travel guy, but I’m planning on taking my wife and family on our first altogether vacation trip. And what you’ve come up with seems to be great ideas.

Especially, I love the headphones and the travel journal. Why not writing down at least some short notes of all places conquered? Cool advice.

Thanks for sharing.

A really good list of Christmas gifts and I like the scratch of maps, they would keep you busy on a long flight. The cork globe is cool and the Trtl pillow is very handy to have for comfortability on the plane. There are many practical items and they would be very useful for travellers.

Leahrae.

You definitely put a lot of thoughts and efforts into putting this list together. A lot of things on the are a must-have for travelers. Who would travel somewhere they’ve never been before, and not want to document their stay there with photos and videos, or not want to have packing cubes so as not to have all their stuff scattered and leave some things behind.

Thanks a lot for this list. I would definitely consider buying one or two items on the list for traveling this festive season.

These are some fantastic ideas for some christmas gifts. My girlfriend has wanted some good noise cancelling headphones, I think I’ll manage to get some for here, unless she changes her mind. Gifts are always difficult to buy when you want to surprise someone but you really narrow it down.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience concerning things a traveler would appreciate. I’d like to show through my gift that I truly care for this person, and what can be better than to follow the suggestions of somebody that understands travelers needs and wish list.

I really think, based on this list, that the E-reader and the Noise Cancelling Wireless Headphones are my top options. But haven’t made my mind yet. Thank you for this list!

Hello,

This is a great post for people looking for the perfect gift for ones who travel a lot. I try to take one to two large trips per year and definitely would appreciate a few of these items. For me, I’d have to say the Bucket List Photo Book would be ideal as I’d use it to select various destinations or places to visit where I’m currently vacationing. The AirBnB Gift Card would also be of great use. I’m not much of a reader but I travel with friends who are. They wouldn’t be caught dead without their E-Reader. Lastly, you just can’t go wrong with Noise Cancelling Headphones, they are great for any type of noisy travel (especially airplanes)!

You’ve got a great list here. I’m sure it will help someone pick the perfect gift for the traveler in their life.

Thank you

Hi Leahrae,

WOW, what a nice list for traveling! I love it!

My husband is flying to Greece at Christmas, and I was looking for some lovely gifts to offer to my husband. I really like the noise cancelling wireless headphones because he loves to listen to music in the plane. What I also like very much is the selfie camera. He also likes to take pictures of landscapes when he travels. This seems like the ideal camera!

I am so happy I found this list!

Thank you for this useful post!

I also like to listen to music, but I don’t like to hear all the noise that other passengers can make! So these are ideal for sure. Thanks for reading my post on Christmas Gift Ideas For Travelers.
