Travel gifts that will fit the wishes the next time your most frequent traveler have a birthday. Down below I give you 10 great travel gifts that will please even the most spoiled traveler.
1. Packing cubes is a great travel gift
Little weight is essential when traveling in coach where any extra luggage costs money. Packing cubes help to keep things organised and make it easier to fit more into less space. My favorite travel gift is this 3 cube set from Samsonite
2. Zero waste, eco-friendly personal care products
Yeah, you can travel the world with a 100ml Shampoo bottle, said no traveler, ever.
So a perfect travel gift is bars with shampoo, conditioner and soap! They last twice as long as liquid shampoos, are environmentally friendly. A big bonus is that they don’t count as liquid in your luggage and can be packed in re-usable metal boxes. Check out eco-friendly Lush for example
3. Re-usable water bottle
Tap water in Europe and other western countries are usually good to drink, making it easy to stay hydrated. Traveling through more remote areas and finding fresh, clean water is more challenging. Buying bottled water everywhere you go can get expensive, and it’s not very sustainable. So a re-usable water bottle will be a appreciated travel gift. To find a good one, check out Travel and Leisure recent review
4. Powerbank is usable both home and away
When you’re on the road there are tons of things that need to be charged: phone, laptop, camera, drone and so on. And I think that every traveler have been out of power to at least one of them when really needed. So a powerbank like this one from IKEA is a perfect travel gift.
5. SD cards for phone and/or camera are travel gifts that brings memories home
Extra storage on your phone and/or camera for all those travel photos is necessary for the travel photographer. So why not give away a 1 TB SD card as a gift?
6. Laptop bag is a better travel gift then you may understand
Besides phone and camera equipment, laptops are every travelers best friend. Keeping it safe and protected from scratches or the weather is important. In the same time the bag should be comfortable and water proof. For me who uses Gopro cameras a lot there is no better travel gift then their daytripper. This bag is enough for my Sony A7C, some extra objective, a box with Gopro accessories and a computer while I mounted my GoPro 12 on the shoulder.
7. Universal adapter to charge your gear
No matter where you are in the world, you need to charge your phone, laptop, drone etc. And not all hotels provide adapters for those situations so bringing your own is important. I don’t want you to not be able to take photos and edit them while you traveling. And I can promise you, you can never get to many adapters.
8. Safety bag for valuables
Passports, wallets with credit cards and IDs, phones…there are so many things travelers have to keep safe when the are on a journey. A bigger backpack with a hidden pocket could be a great travel gift. If you just look for something smaller I could recommend the lanyard pocket from Klättermusen.
9. Gift card is fantastic travel gifts
Givning the travel lovers in your life gift cards for flights or hotels is a fantastic idea. They can choose when and where to travel, and they can save money in the process. In the best or worlds, they ask you to join them.
10. Subscriptions is a a perfect travel gift.
Believe it or not, subscriptions to certain programs, podcasts or streaming services are actually an amazing gift for travel lovers. They’re not physical products that have to be carried around, but they allow any travel lover to kill some time during a delayed flight or layover (Netflix), edit their favorite travel photos (Lightroom), or listen to music and podcasts while traveling (Spotify, iTunes etc).
