15 gift ideas that will please any world traveler in your life

5 A travel bag

Dare to offer a travel bag, be it a chic one, a day trip bag or a backpack. Always handy.

6 A passport holder

This is an especially good idea if you know a nervous traveller who’s always worried about losing their passport, boarding pass and payment cards.

7 Noise-cancelling headphones

This is the gift of calmness. Noise-cancelling headphones are a must on a plane and will keep your favourite traveller from losing their mind when a baby cries the entire flight.

8 Letters

If a loved-one leaves for a long period of time, you can give them a very personalized gift by writing them letters. They could open them on predetermined dates or moments. After all, it’s so comforting to read something from someone we love, for example when we feel homesick (or plainly sick!) or when we are facing difficulties in another culture. In other words, help them feel closer to you than they are, geographically speaking!

9 Travel-sized bottles

Certainly always useful.

10 A portable charger

A travel must for anyone with a phone, a tablet, a camera, an MP3 player … for anyone, really. No one should have their electronic device out of power at the worst possible moment. After all, you never know when you’re going to need to shut yourself off from triplets crying on the plane.

11 Packing cubes

Help a traveller organize themselves by gifting packing cubes. These work like magic to pack suitcases or backpacks and will save space too.

12 A book made out of their travel pictures

More and more websites are offering to transform your digital photos into books. This is a clever way to give some physicality to special moments, away from computers and phones. You can surprise someone by making the book yourself, selecting travel photos from their Instagram or Facebook.

13 Picture frames

You could also opt for a more traditional approach and give them picture frames they will then fill, or by making a photo display yourself.

14 A prepaid credit card

Here’s an alternative to cash that will be useful abroad. This way, if ever they get their card stolen, they will still be safe financially since none of their personal information will be associated with the card.

15 A travel pillow

Last but not least, travel pillows are an essential item. One flight with them will convince anyone of this statement. Treat your loved one with them!
