Travel journal 

A journal is a simple and cute gift to give to your friend who loves to travel. It will encourage them to track their travel and keep a diary of all the adventures they embark on. They will love this gift even more after it is all filled up with their fondest travel memories. 

Passport holder 

There are so many cute and personalized passport holders to buy. This gift is the perfect way to keep better track of your passport and ensure it will never get lost. 

Patagonia duffel

When traveling, carrying a duffel is so much easier than lugging a suitcase through the streets. This Patagonia duffel is easy to carry and even though it's small, it fits more than you would expect. This is a must-have for all avid travelers.

Good walking shoes

A good pair of walking shoes is a must for any travelers. Having uncomfortable shoes is a quick way to ruin an otherwise amazing trip. Being both comfortable and stylish is the best way to travel!

Travel tracker 

For that friend who seems to go everywhere, a travel tracker is a perfect gift! This allows them to easily track all of the amazing places they’ve been.

Travel jewelry case 

These jewelry cases are not only cute, but they are a life-saver while traveling. Jewelry is so easy to misplace, but with this cute, easy-to-carry case, you will never lose your jewelry again!

Personalized luggage tags 

Having a cute luggage tag is a perfect way to spice up your luggage. Not only are they stylish, but they also will help you find your bag at a busy airport!

Crossbody bag 

This crossbody bag is a perfect travel accessory. It is big enough to carry all your travel essentials; it easily fits a phone, wallet, keys and passport. Wearing a bag in front of you is vital for travelling, as it warns off pick-pocketers. 

Water bottle 

Traveling with a water bottle is essential to prevent dehydration. Carrying a water bottle is an environmentally friendly way to save money by avoiding costs of plastic water bottles. You can even go an extra step and decorate your travel water bottle with stickers from your favorite places!

Travel posters

Every travel-lover wants something in their home to commemorate their travels, and what is better way to do that than cute travel posters? These posters are the perfect decoration and serve as a constant reminder of your amazing trips.

Kindle Paperwhite
This is the perfect gift for your travel-loving bookworm. Reading is the perfect way to pass the time while waiting in a boring airport, but books are too heavy to carry — especially for long trips. A Kindle is a perfect solution to get rid of your heavy books while still being able to read wherever you want!

Noise-canceling headphones 

Annoyed by busy airports and packed train stations? Noise-canceling headphones are a great way to drown out the noise and relax, even in a busy environment. 

Packing cubes

Packing can get stressful, especially if you’re trying to fit too many clothes in a small suitcase. Packing cubes will help relieve all the stress that surrounds packing. With these cubes, your luggage will be more organized and compact.

Makeup bag

Everyone needs a good makeup bag, especially avid travelers.

GoPro

This hand-held video camera is perfect for your adventure-loving friend. You can easily attach this to a helmet or around your body, allowing you to capture the whole adventure whether you’re skiing in Colorado, zip lining in Costa Rica or scuba diving in Australia. A GoPro is a must-have for your next adventure. 

Disposable camera

Carrying a disposable camera around while traveling is the perfect way to capture all your memories. This is the perfect gift to ensure that your friend will come out of their next vacation with a bunch of fun photographs.

Portable speaker 

Everyone needs a speaker, and a small, portable one is perfect for traveling. You can use it while you're skiing down a Swiss mountain, lounging on an Italian beach or hanging out with friends in a hostel.

Universal adapter 

A universal adapter allows travelers to charge their devices in any country. This is an absolute necessity for anyone traveling to multiple countries so they won’t have to worry about buying a new adaptor each time they travel. These are small and easy to carry. 

Apple AirTag and case

Apple AirTags are a must for avid travelers. This small gift is an easy way to ensure that your friend never loses their bags while traveling ever again. A keychain case makes it easy to stick an AirTag on a bag, wallet or keychain.

Portable charger

While traveling, it is sometimes difficult to find the time to charge your phone. With a portable charger, travelers will never have to worry about a dead phone. This will make your life as a traveler so much easier.
