We all have the adventurous traveler in the family or as a friend, and in my case, it’s often me. Sure, you can buy awesome travel-related gifts to them, but most of the time, they want to travel light. So what should you buy? Everyone with a serious case of wanderlust can’t think about anything else, so do get them a travel related gift!
If they just moved, you can get something cute with a map design for their house. Or if they have a luxurious holiday coming up, get that towel harness (this one is awesome!) because they probably have space for it in their suitcase. But if you’re looking for a gift for a long-term traveler, give them something they can use on the road and that doesn’t take up space in their backpack. For every traveler there is something, and I have made a selection of my favorite items just for you.
A few ideas digital nomads and travelers can always use:
Every traveler can use money or gift cards so they can exchange it for things they actually need or want. A few ideas?
There are so many bags you have to get as a traveler, a backpack, camera bag, carry-on bags, travel toilet bags, a hiking/day backpack but also travel cubes and wash bags. And don’t forget accessories like a backpack rain cover, Pacsafe bag security or dry bags (read here what a dry bag is). So many options here!
And now there are the fun things every traveler wants! These are probably the gifts that are most fun for you to get for them. The poster, passport covers, travel editions of their favorite body/bath items, carry on cocktail sets, the pen with the map design, luggage tags and the scratch map. Stuff like that is always a good gift, here are a few ideas:
Education is something all parents want for their kids, but these days, it’s a lot of fun thanks to online courses. Udemy has a great selection of travel-related courses, like travel photography, how to make use of airline credit cards and language classes. Check the Udemy Gift guide selection for travelers out here (gift cards available!).
