Gift Ideas for Travel Lovers

Go for Practical Gifts

If you know a traveler who is planning their next trip, then how about a practical gift that will help them stay organized? Recently on a work trip, I tried out the Clakit StrapPack (Two Zipper Clip-On Pouch – Travel Wallet, Backpack Pouch, Passport Holder). This small heavy-duty pouch attaches to my laptop backpack shoulder strap using the Clakit Clip. It allowed me to easily access my driver’s license, backup boarding pass, chapstick, phone, and a couple of dollars so I don’t have to dig through my suitcase or backpack when I need these items.

All travelers need portable chargers so they can stay connected on the road or between flights.

Packing Cubes for the WIN!

Drink Containers

Whether you are on the road or in the air, it’s important to stay hydrated. A practical gift that works for every traveler is a new drink container. I love my classic mybevi Tumbler and have carried it everywhere with me this past year. Now I’m excited to share the mybevi Outlander 32 oz Tumbler. This rugged tumbler is perfect for whatever adventure you can throw at it. Stay hot or cold for hours and keep on traveling.

While you’re thinking practical, how about a small portable travel fan?

Sometimes travel lovers hit a season in their lives where they can’t do as much as travel as they want to. That’s when it may be time to find a travel-inspired bird feeder or Christmas ornament.

Give Consumables

The thing about travel lovers is that most travelers don’t like stuff that weighs them down. When my brother was in college he was doing a lot of travel. So for Christmas that year we gave him a box filled with consumables.  We figured out what his favorite brands were and gave him just enough to get him through one month.  We knew that he wouldn’t want a bunch of extras that he had to store, but this would let him save his money for the things he really wanted to use it on – like gas for the next road trip.

You could pack all these items in a box or make it more fun and fill a new backpack so the traveler would be ready for their next adventure!

Consumable Gift Ideas:

  • Non-perishable Food items (Peanut Butter, tuna, crackers, macaroni n cheese)
  • Canned Goods (soup, tunafish, fruit,)
  • Drink Mixes (coffee, tea, hot cocoa)
  • Laundry Items (detergent, fabric softener)
  • Toiletries (shampoo, body wash, razors, toothpaste)

Think Safety

Sometimes the best gift is something that would help keep the traveler safe. Do they need a new road map or GPS? Have they got a membership to an emergency roadside assistance service? If not, you could buy a year subscription or renew their current membership.

Another thing that we did a few years ago is to purchase a membership to Air Evac Lifeteam. For as little as $65 a year, you can purchase what could potentially impact your life forever.

An Air Evac Lifeteam membership (participating provider in the AirMedCare Network) costs just $65 per year for your entire household. Membership covers you for emergency transport with participating providers across 32 states.
