Perfect Gifts for Travel Lovers
Finding the perfect gift for your travel-loving friend or family member can be tough. It’s easy to get stuck on typical items like journals or passport holders. Well not everyone likes to journal and avid travelers typically have all the accessories they need. So what to get them??
I’ve done some digging and have found unique takes on classic ideas for the various kinds of travelers in your life.

For the Foodie
One of the best things about travel is the food! How cool would it be to bring all of that delicious food right into their home?! Try the World sends delicious global flavors right to their doorstep from top chefs around the world. From Argentina to Morocco gorgeous boxes are filled with curated delicacies from each country and delivered every month.
Another great idea is to find a cookbook from their favorite country and pair it with a fun dish towel from the same location. Catstudio has great designs!
For the Well-Accessorized
Is there a special place you want to commemorate for that travel-lover in your life? Maybe the place of a first date or a favorite childhood destination? Customize cufflinks or a keychain with a map of their favorite location. This can be a beautiful and deeply personal way to show your traveler that you know what matters to them most.
For the Crafty Commemorator
Sometimes a simple map is just not enough! Check out this simple, beautiful way to retrace steps and wonderful memories where they can stitch their journey on a map. Maps are available for locations all over the world and can be personalized. Imagine a wall decorated with these minimalist representations of adventures!
For the Giving Traveler
Why not make a donation to a favorite cause in your traveler’s name? You can choose organizations that support environmental stewardship, advocate for people in crisis, promote education, or help restore natural beauty to a location.
For the Adventurer
I’ve written before about how experiences pack the biggest punch, happiness-wise. Well Xperience Days gives the gift of a lifelong memory to someone you care about without an entire vacation attached to it. Try everything from hang gliding to art lessons throughout the United States. What a great surprise for families or a friend’s next big adventure!
For the Gadget-Junkie
One thing we always need more of are outlets, right? For the tech-savvy family, one of these 4-in-1 adapters will help them ensure everything stays running smoothly no matter where in the world they are.
For the hardcore gadget-junkie, these stylish vests, hoodies, and jackets from SCOTTeVEST hold everything from smartphones to keys to tablets. They even come with an RFID pocket to keep passports and credit cards safe from high tech skimmers. Just look how much it holds!
For the Photographer
If your friend is never without their smartphone or camera, why not make it easy for them to create beautiful, lasting photo albums, calendars, or prints of her best shots? Companies like Artifact Uprising allow them to connect directly with their Instagram account and assemble their most gorgeous memories. You can give them a gift card so they can organize their photos and create a book of their recent travels.
