20 Best Gift Ideas for Travelers

It’s hard to know what gifts to get someone who loves to travel. They may love a complete vacation, but your budget may only allow for an item in their carry-on luggage. Regardless of your gift-giving budget, here are 20 of the best gift ideas for travelers.

I’ve divided the list of gifts up into different price ranges to help you find something within your spending limits. To make it easy, I’ve also included links so you and learn more about the item and even make the purchase off of Amazon.com.

Gift Ideas Under $50

• Anker 24W Dual USB Car Charger Adapter: Your rental car may not have a USB plug-in, so this item allows you to charge your phone or other USB electronics while on the road.
• Compression socks: Sitting in a seat on a long flight may cause your ankles to swell or make walking painful upon landing. Compression socks help improve blood circulation.
• Universal Adapter/Wall Charger: Plugs around the world are different than here in the United States. An adapter will help you plug your electronics in – from curling iron to phones.
• TSA Approved Travel Bottles/Containers: Stores your shampoo, conditioner and other liquids in a convenient TSA approved travel pack.
• Travel Games: Sitting at the airport or taking a long road trip can be boring. Maybe a card game or travel sized edition of Trouble will help pass the time.
• Travel Wallet & Passport Holder: Keep your documents organized while you travel. Plus, the RFID blocking material keeps thieves from scanning your credit cards and passport information.
• GoPro Camera Accessories: Looking for different mounts and straps for a GoPro camera? Grab a whole collection of items to help capture the travel adventure.
• Travel Pillow: Sleeping while sitting up isn’t comfortable. But a travel pillow can help travelers grab a few ZZzzzs on the plane or long car ride (as long as they aren’t the one driving – haha!).
• Packing Cubes: Keep your luggage organized with packing cubes. Packing cubes also help compress clothes to fit easier as well.
• Anker Power Core Battery Pack: It’s frustrating to see your phone battery quickly dropping as you navigate through your travels. Having extra juice with you can mean the different between walking to the hotel or grabbing a ride share. It offers peace of mind.
• 220V to 110V Voltage Converter: 220 volts may fry an electronic device that only needs 110 volts. This converter will come in handy if the country of travel uses 220 volts.

Gift Ideas Under $200

• Noise-cancelling headphones: The hum of the airplane or noisy passengers can make it hard to enjoy a flight. Noise-cancelling headphones can block out the sounds, allowing you to focus on some sleep or the next movie you choose to watch.
• Apple AirPods: Headphone wires can get in the way when traveling. A pair of Apple AirPods can help you stay untangled while listening to music of watching videos on your connected device.
• Osprey FarPoint 40: Checked luggage can be a hassle – you have to pay more and then wait for it at baggage claim. The Osprey FarPoint backpack allows you to compress your “luggage” into a carry-on and avoid the checked bag status. There are varying sizes of this style of backpack, and colors, too.

Gift Ideas for Travelers Under $500

• GoPro Camera: Catch your next adventure with a GoPro camera. There are many versions out there, varying in video quality and added features. Regardless, they are small and can capture photos and video of your adventures around the world – or in your own backyard.
• Olympus Tough TG-6 Camera: Different from a GoPro, the Olympus Tough TG-6 is a nice camera that captures quality images – underwater or on the top of a mountain. It’s a great everyday camera or one for extreme travel adventures – and everything in between.

Vacation Packages Make Great Gifts

Whether you’re looking to purchase a vacation for your own family, or gift a vacation to someone else, there are vacation packages that work for people of almost any travel interest.

• Book a cruise: I’ve never been on a cruise, but I’ve heard so many amazing stories from people who have. Whether it was a short 3-day cruise to Mexico or a 12-day Mediterranean cruise, it’s an experience I hope to enjoy and know others will as well.
• Explore Disneyland Resort: There’s something magical about The Happiest Place on Earth. A family vacation to Disneyland is a win any time of year – whether it’s during Christmas Time or for a summer vacation, there are options.
• Experience Universal Studios: If you like seeing movie magic, then Universal Studios (in either California or Orlando) is a place to take your family. From rides that bring you into the movies, to shows that delight.
• Enjoy Disney World Resort: There are many things to explore at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. From multiple theme parks to nice resort hotels – Disney World has it all.
