Gift Guide for the Traveler in Your Life

Gift Guides, Holidays, Travel

We all know someone who loves to travel – maybe it’s your mom, your sister-in-law, your bestie, or you! Since we all know someone who falls into this category I wanted to share my top 10 gifts for the traveler in your life. Ranging from $10 to $500 there is a wide variety to choose from here. Happy Shopping!

These Boll & Branch sheets are the perfect gift for anyone who loves to travel often. Is there anything better than coming home to your own bed? I think not. These are really a great gift for anyone – parents, new home owners, newlyweds. I mean, everyone wants to own nice sheets but they’re so annoying to spend your own money on.

An oversized scratch-off gold map is SUCH a fun gift! Any family, couple, solo traveler, or person that loves to travel would have a lot of fun scratching off the places they’ve been and finding inspiration for the next trip. Bonus: it would look great in a white frame on the wall or in a kids playroom (just keep the glass off so you can scratch it when need be).

This calendar is so cute for anyone stuck in an office with a serious case of wanderlust. A great gift for college girls, working moms or organization freaks (like me!) who love using a physical calendar. Heck, even if you don’t use it – the pictures will inspire you! (Design tip: cut out the pictures & frame them for some cute, quirky wall art)

Whoever invented this Raden carry on suitcase is a genius. Not only is it TSA size approved with a hard cover (meaning it will fit no matter how much you shove in there), but this sucker has a built-in charger and…wait for it (<–no pun intended)…weighs itself! Yup, it takes all of the stress of flying away. Did I mention that it also locates itself? Basically it takes away 90% of the flying stress – no need to pay overage weight feed, hoard a wall plug or worry about the airline losing your luggage. This bag does it all itself. Absolutely genius!

With over 9,000 5-star review, this is supposedly the end all be all of travel masks. If you’re like me and can sleep anywhere on the plane, this is for you! Although if you have trouble sleeping on planes, maybe this is for you too! I’m eager to give it a try as I currently have my favorite sleep mask that I use on the reg & travel with everywhere.

Everyone needs a “go to” travel outfit and this cashmere wrap really saves the day. Pair with a black shirt and black leggings and you will be traveling in comfort while looking chic AF. Wraps are the best because they can be used as scarves, blankets, pillows, jackets or eye masks. Well worth the investment!

I’m pretty sure these made my gift guide list last year, but you can see why. Everyone needs a solid pair of headphones when fling, especially if it’s an overnight or international flight. Bye bye crying babies and loud airplane noises…enjoy your flight as these drown out the background noise so you can watch a movie or snooze and enjoy your flight.

Who doesn’t love getting a monthly magazine in the mail? I get Travel & Leisure each month and always enjoy reading about fun new places and seeing pictures of beautiful places around the world to add to my bucket list. An easy gift for someone who is tough to shop for!

Another good “go to ” gift for anyone really is a passport cover + luggage tag set. They’re gender neutral, great for all ages and you can never have enough – I mean, I personally have about 6 suitcases so I need at least 6 luggage tags! They’re also fun to get personalized and would be a fun hostess gift or Secret Santa gift.

A nice water bottle like the Bobble is a fail proof gift idea. Good for gym goers, travelers, hikers, or anyone on the go – this one is lightweight, super cute (7 color options) and has a built-in filter. It’s affordable too so you could pick it up for a few people on your list.

If you follow me on Instagram, you probably recently saw in my pre-honeymoon Insta stories that I recently tried these packing cubes for a big trip and I absolutely loved them! First off, they hold a ton and I swear I could fit more in my bag. Secondly, they allow you to group your items and stay more organized while traveling. Lastly, and my favorite, they really help you know where everything is so you can find your items so quickly. It really made packing, getting dressed and re-packing so much easier.

What else should we add to this travel gift guide?!
