Holiday Gift Guide: The Best Gifts for Travelers

One of my biggest passions is travel. I think it’s something everyone should have the opportunity to experience. It not only enriches our lives but it opens us up to new possibilities and perspectives.  So with that in mind, I’ve created a holiday gift guide with the best gifts for travelers.

I’m on the road a lot, so this holiday gift guide includes travel accessories that I swear by. Whether you’re looking for things to get you through a long haul flight or products that give you those creature comforts when you’re away from home, this list has something for everyone. Even better, I’ve also included travel experiences because I believe when you give someone the gift of travel, the memories last a lifetime.

The Best Gifts for Travelers

One of the best gifts for travelers is this passport holder. It helps you keep all of your important things like your passport, credit cards, and phone in one place, and it also CHARGES YOUR PHONE. How amazing is that?

I am not afraid to admit that I love coffee. Like I really, really LOVE coffee. And sometimes when I’m in remote locations, I can’t get coffee in my room, hut, or bungalow. So now I travel with my own system. This pour-over coffee maker has saved me from cranky days all over the world!

 If you love taking pictures but don’t always want to bother the random stranger standing next to you to snap your photo, this mini phone tripod is a great travel accessory. It also works with digital cameras and has a wireless remote. Say cheese!

Sometimes when I’m traveling alone, I prefer to join a tour. It’s not that I can’t handle spending time alone, but as a female, I do worry about my safety. That’s why I love Intrepid Travel. Many of their trips include other solo travelers, and it’s always a great opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Their tours are affordable and well thought out and curated. If you have a friend or loved one who loves to travel, (or a couple/family for that matter), this is one of the best travel gifts you can give!

One thing I travel with especially if I’m going on a beach vacation is a Turkish towel. These towels are super lightweight and roll up very easily. They not only function as a towel but can double as a beach sarong or scarf. Any travel accessory that is multipurpose is a win in my book!

One of my other big passions is reading. I love it so much that before e-readers came along, I used to travel with numerous books, which inevitably took up half my suitcase! While I do love the sensation of opening up a new book for the first time, I also love using my Kindle, especially when I’m traveling. Now I can bring 100+ books with me without taking on the extra weight!

When I’m on a long-haul flight, my top priority is hydration. And that includes my skin. So one of my go-to beauty products is a facial mask. Yes, you might look a bit scary wearing one of these masks mid-flight, but your skin will thank you when you land and your skin looks fresh and dewy!

Conquest Maps is one of the best gifts for travelers because it helps them keep track of all of the places they’ve been to as well as the destinations on their bucket list. I know I find it inspiring to see a map with all of the places I’ve traveled to!

I hope you found this round-up of the best gifts for travelers helpful for the loved ones in your life who are obsessed with travel. The only thing left now is to tell them to start packing!

Bon voyage and happy holidays!
