Best Gifts for Travelers

Have a jetsetter or two on your holiday gift list? Whether they love to travel for pleasure or they have to travel for work, there is sure to be something on this list of gifts for people who travel for them! These are THE best gifts for travelers – no matter if they’re off on an adventure or off to another work meeting.

This gift guide is full of travel gift ideas – some more practical and useful, some more meaningful and a way to remind your gift recipient of an adventure they went on.

While trotting around the globe is fun and exciting, even if you’re doing it for work, it can also be stressful sometimes. I love to go new places with the family and make new memories on our adventures, but I can easily get stressed when it comes to getting us all there along with everything we need there. Thus why this gift guide includes both incredibly useful gifts for people who travel and also travel related gifts that people can look at and remember a fun trip or give them inspiration for a new adventure.

Some brands provided products and/or compensation for inclusion in this gift guide. However, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. This post contains affiliate links for your shopping convenience. Click here to read my full disclosure policy.

Gifts for Travel Lovers

Great Travel Gifts to Help Them Get There

For planning their adventures…

Best Gifts for Travelers

The Bucket List

If they love traveling all around the world, get them this book. It covers 1000 trips of various sizes and for various ages. It’s sure to leave the world travelers on your list adding to their own bucket list.

Gifts for People Who Travel

The Road Trip Book

If they never pass up a good road trip, give them this book. It covers over 1000 road trips across the globe from simply scenic drives to adventurous ones and more cultural based ones.

Best Gifts for USA Travelers

50 States, 5000 Ideas

If seeing every state is on their bucket list, this one is for them! This book covers 5000 trip ideas throughout the 50 United States! No detail is left untouched here – it covers best times for travel, what to see and much more!

Gifts for Travel Lovers

Airbnb Gift Card

Give them a start on their next adventure with an AirBnB gift card from GiftCards.com. You can get an AirBnB gift card for as little as $25 or as much as $500. No matter the amount, they’ll be grateful for your help on their next trip!

For packing…

Travel Gift Ideas

Weekender Bag

If they often jet off for a weekend, but don’t have a great weekend bag, then fix that problem now. Grunt and I love weekend trips and we’d be lost without our weekender bags. They hold just enough for 2-3 nights as well as your toiletry bag and an extra pair or two of shoes.

Great Travel Gifts

Packing Cubes

These packing cubes are handy for both individuals and families traveling. These organize and help to take advantage of every inch of a suitcase by condensing clothing into the cubes. We have a set of these and it easily organizes both mine and the Circus’ clothes! A travel must in my opinion!

Good Gifts for People Who Travel

Travel Jewelry Box

I rarely take a trip without my travel jewelry box. These little things are so handy for organizing your jewelry while traveling and keeping necklaces from getting all tangled up!

Good Gifts for Travelers

Foldable Travel Duffel Bag

Tend to come home with more than they left with? Get them a foldable travel duffel bag. It folds down to easily fit inside their luggage or carry on. If needed, they can unfold and fill it with treasures they bring back home.

For getting around once they’re there…

Gifts for People Who Love to Travel

Hong Kong Laptop Tote

This is the holy grail of laptop totes. I have it myself and can say it is wonderful for those of us who have to travel for work or take work with us when we travel.

Gifts for People Who Like to Travel

Convertible Bryant Pouch

This handy little pouch can be a wristlet or a crossbody bag. Either way your gift recipient uses it, it will still carry all the essentials they’ll need while perusing a new city.

Travel Gifts

3-in-1 Convertible Backpack

And this is the holy grail of backpacks. It can go from backpack to tote to shoulder bag with a single click. It can easily hold your laptop if needed or work as an overnight bag.

To help them keep up with their stuff while traveling…

Good Gifts for People Who Travel

Leather Passport Cover

In my opinion, leather never goes out of style and only gets better with age. Give the adventurers on your list a passport cover to remind them to be wild and to also help them keep up with their passport!

Gifts for People Who Travel A Lot

Travel Cord Roll

Traveling these days consists of making sure you’ve packed chargers for your phone, laptop, and then you’ve also got to make sure you have those earbuds and maybe a random USB cord or two. This travel cord roll keeps it all in place!

Great Gifts for People Who Travel

Where to Next Luggage Tag

Another leather beauty here! This gorgeous luggage tag is perfect for that outdoorsy traveler in your life. This luggage tag will last for years and years to come.

Best Gift Ideas for People Who Travel

Custom Luggage Tags

Custom luggage tags especially for them! They will definitely know their bag with their special tag on it. Got a couple or family on your list that does a lot of traveling? Make them coordinating tags!

Useful Travel Gifts

Gift Ideas for Travelers

How to Read the Menu

One here for the world travelers, especially the ones who might not know the language of where they’re going. This set of three books will help anyone traveling to Spain, Italy or France understand the menu.

Useful Gifts for People Who Travel

4-in-1 Adapter

For the world traveler on your list, this adapter allows them to easily adapt your plugs to work in 150 countries. The adapter is color coded and comes with the countries printed inside the box with their corresponding color.

Sparkly Gifts for People Who Love to Travel

Gift Ideas for Travelers

Airplane Necklace

Wander + Lust Jewelry has some of the prettiest travel related jewelry. This airplane necklace caught my eye immediately. I love how the front airplane wings resemble feathers.

Top Gift Ideas for People Who Love to Travel

Custom Coordinate Necklace

This coordinate necklace is a very thoughtful gift that your adventurer would definitely appreciate. Choose any coordinates – think a trip you took together or something like that.

Gifts For the Outdoorsy Travelers

Gifts for Outdoorsy Travelers

Phoozy Phone Sleeve

This is the ultimate phone sleeve for adventurers on your list. The Phoozy sleeve helps to preserve the battery, floats if dropped in water, is drop proof, heat proof and cold proof. Worrying about their phone will be the last thing on their mind.

Gifts for Beach People

Super Brella Beach Umbrella

For all the beach goers on your holiday gift list, here’s one for them! This beach umbrella provides maximum sun and weather protection on the beach. It even has UPF 50+ to protect against UVA and UVB rays!

Gifts for Adventurers

Water Resistant Backpack

With great reviews and loads of colors to choose from, this backpack is a surefire winner for outdoorsy folks on your list. It has both backpack straps and carrying straps so they can choose how to carry it.

Gifts for Campers

Compact Inflatable Sleeping Pad

If they’re never quite sure where they’ll bunk down for the night, here’s a great gift for them. This sleeping pad has more cushion than a traditional sleeping bag, but transports more easily and inflates with about 10-15 breaths.

Best Gifts for Outdoorsy Travelers

Cup Holder for Bicycles

Got an adventurer on your list who loves to bike? This cup holder was made for them! This shop has some of the cutest bicycle cup holders I’ve ever seen – they’re witty too. Perfect for that friend who loves their bike and also a laugh or two.

Gifts for Outdoor Travelers



Cooler Chair

This is perfect for those guys or girls that love to fish, hunt or just sit by the lake for a while. Not only is it a seat and holds your beer (or other beverage of choice), but it also has a coozie holder built-in and we all know that’s essential for a cold beer. Am I right or am I right?

Gifts for Campers

Happy Camper Mug

Give the campers on your list this fun happy camper mug.

Gifts for People Who Love the Outdoors

Picnic Blanket

For the person who loves lazy days in the park or in their own backyard, this picnic blanket is perfect for them.

Memorable Travel Gift Ideas

Gifts that remind them of special trips and celebrate their love of travel…

Gifts for People Who Travel

Vintage Map Magnets

The perfect way for them to display photos from their trips on the fridge is with these vintage map magnets! You can choose your own cities to put on the magnets!

Gifts for People Who Love to Fly

Airplane Ornament

If they are often up in the air and like it that way, snag them this airplane Christmas tree ornament to remind them of their travels every year.

Gifts for People Who Travel

Scratch Off Maps

Hands down, this is one of my most favorite gift ideas. These scratch-off maps are nothing short of genius and are priced great! As one travels to different places, when they come back, they can scratch off the place they went to reveal a beautiful watercolor underneath. You can find the United States version here and the world version here.

Gift Ideas for People Who Travel

50 States Photo Map

If they have visiting every state on their bucket list, then this United States photo map is a fun and meaningful gift to give them! As they visit each state, they’ll be able to come back home and cross it off their list with a photo. You can also choose to give them an individual photo state or other countries – they can be found in this shop.

Travel Gift Ideas

Jet Set Coaster Set

This set of coasters features four different airport codes vintage style. It’s perfect for that person who both loves to travel and appreciates a good vintage touch. I have a pair of these handmade coasters myself and love them.

Travel Gifts - Wines from Around the World

Firstleaf Wines

Get them a bottle of wine from one of their favorite places to travel! Firstleaf has handpicked wines from all over the United States as well as Italy, Spain, Chile, and France – just to name a few. Most bottles are less than $20!

Vintage Travel Posters - Gift Ideas

Vintage Travel Posters

You can get 95 printable vintage travel posters here. Pick out a few of your gift recipient’s favorite travel spots or a poster from a place you visited together, print it out and frame it for them!

Gifts for Travel Lovers

City Map on Wood

Here’s another art option for travel lovers on your list. Have a map of one of their favorite cities turned into a piece of art on wood. Choose from several different sizes, styles and of course, cities!

Gifts for People Who Love Concerts

Ticket Stub Diary

I keep just about every zoo ticket, movie ticket, subway ticket and whatever other little tokens such as those that we use on our trips. I love this ticket stub diary because you can actually flip through to look at the mementos from trips.

Travel Journal gift for People Who Travel Often
