There’s something about black and white photos that brings out so much nostalgia. And, that’s why we take photos on our travels, right? So that one day we can look back and feel a sense of nostalgia.✨

    Who says you need to stay in hostels to travel on Who says you need to stay in hostels to travel on a budget ☝🏼

Although I have stayed in some nice hostels and tasted some delicious cheap street food throughout my life, this type of travel is for a VERY niche group of people.

So what about the rest of us? Those of us who love luxury travel and meaningful cultural experiences but also love comfort, security and convenience?

Here are a few of my favorite ways to luxury travel on a budget:

✔️Travel hacking flights.
✔️Using Google Flights to track down the cheapest flights.
✔️Booking 4/5-star hotels on Hotwire.
✔️Cruises (the newest addition to my budget travel tips)!

As always, I’m here to answer any budget travel questions you have (hmu in the comments or DMs). If you want to learn my exact strategy for how to travel on a budget, click the link in my bio. ✈️

25+ Best Travel Gifts for Him: Ideas for Your Boyfriend, Fiance or Husband

November 10, 2020

Travel gift ideas for him: for your boyfriend, fiance or husband | Indigo Sahara | Pinterest | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

It’s easy to find cute travel gifts for her, but what about for him? These unique travel gifts for him for all price ranges will make your boyfriend, fiance or husband feel completely loved, supported, handsome, and, of course, excited to continue traveling (and maybe even let you tag along!).

Gift shopping for men can be a seemingly endless process, so allow me to make it a little easier. All of these gifts are suitable — and suitcase-able — for Christmas, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, your anniversary and every other gifting day in between.

Disclaimer: This post contains Amazon affiliate links. If a product is purchased using one of the following links, I may earn a small commission from the brand at no cost to you.

1. Bose Wireless Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headphones

Bose best headphones for travel | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

You know Bose sells the best traveling headphones when pilots are brand loyal. Yes, you heard that right. This is the brand that the majority of airline pilots use.

Not only will these wireless bluetooth headphones provide your boyfriend, fiance or husband with flawless audio, but Bose’s famous noise-canceling feature will block out all of the chatty passengers, crying babies and airplane engine noises on every flight.

2. Portable Rechargeable Noise Machine

Oh yes, more noise canceling.

Rechargeable noise machine for travel  | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

This 29-sound, portable, rechargeable noise machine will have him sleeping like a baby in any and every hotel room.

Its small size compacts perfectly as a travel gift for him, and its wireless functioning will free up those limited and oh-so-valuable hotel room outlets needed for charging other electronics.

3. Multifunction Keychain: All-In-One iPhone Charger, Bottle Opener and Carabiner

Even though this multifunction keychain is the lowest-priced item on this travel gifts for him list, it is also one of the most practical.

His iPhone lightning cable charger (for iPhones 5 and newer), bottle opener and handy carabiner can all now be extremely accessible to him.

4. YETI Travel Gifts for Him

YETI tumbler on Amazon | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

YETI is top-of-the-line, without a doubt. This 30-ounce YETI tumbler will keep all of your boyfriend’s, fiance’s or husband’s hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold.

The brand also sells extremely reputable mugs, wine tumblers, lunch bags and coolers that are essentially indestructible. (Seriously, they are literally designed to keep bears from getting into your camp food.) Many of the products are available in many colors, too.

5. Magnetic Wooden Chess Board

Magnetic wooden chess board | travel gift ideas for him | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

A wooden travel chess board will have your travel gift for him screaming that your man is classy, handsome, intelligent and well-cultured. What man doesn’t want to be these adjectives?

The board’s foldability makes it easy to pack, and its magnetic board will keep the chess pieces from getting lost in both transit and play.

6. Magnetic Chess, Checkers and Backgammon Travel Game Set

Magnetic chess, checkers and backgammon travel game set for travel | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

Is your man more of the fun gamer type rather than the classy wooden chess board type? This magnetic chess, checkers and backgammon travel game set is the best alternative: still portable, still packable and even cheaper!

7. Anti-Theft Travel Laptop Backpack

The five-star-rated anti-theft travel laptop backpack has numerous characteristics that make it a fantastic travel backpack: an anti-theft back pocket, numerous compartments for easy organization and a USB charging port, for example.

8. Personalized Push-Pin World Destination Map

Personalized, engraved push-pin world destination map | gift ideas for travelers | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

This personalized push-pin world destination map takes the trendy scratch-off map to a whole new gifting level. Every time your boyfriend, fiance or husband travels, he’ll be able to add another bright red pin to his map and be reminded of your support and generosity through the gift.

The personalized map comes with red pins to mark the places he has visited, blue flags to mark his upcoming trips, yellow flags to mark his favorite destinations and green pins to mark his dream destinations.

Hopefully, one day, he’ll even need extra red pins like the ones below!

9. Carry-On Cocktail Travel Gifts for Him

TSA approved cocktail kit | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

TSA-approved booze. I don’t need to say any more than that.

Help him skip the over-priced airport bars and in-flight drinks with this fun, unique travel gift that he’ll undoubtably love. The W&P Carry-On Cocktail Kit is available in a large variety of flavors so you can cater to his taste buds.

10. Watch & Leather Watch Travel Case (Perfect Duo Travel Gifts for Him)

Whether he’s running around the bustling financial district of New York City or beach hopping on island-time, a new men’s watch or smart, GPS enabling Apple Watch will always make a memorable travel gift for him.

Don’t forget to add a luxury leather watch travel case so he can show off his new ice on his next trip!

11. Travel-Size Cologne for Him

Cologne and perfume bottles are often too big to pack in your carry-on. It only takes losing one $50 bottle to a TSA agent’s garbage can to learn this the hard way.

Prevent making this sad mistake by purchasing a TSA-sized cologne set or single bottle for him!

12. Handheld Electric Massager

Handheld Electric Massager gift ideas | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

Long, stuffy flights lead to cramped legs and stiff necks. Save his money at the hotel spa and opt for a portable handheld electric massager.

Other handheld electric massagers of different price ranges are available on Amazon here.

13. Travel Book Gifts for Him

Travel books inspire, motivate and spark curiosity for culture, people and new vacation destinations. Not only do they provide valuable trip information and itineraries, but they also double as great office bookshelf decor.

14. Men’s Travel Toiletry Bags

Leather toiletry bags are another airline pilot favorite, AKA another travel must-have. They will last throughout all your man’s travels, keeping him and his suitcase totally organized.

Pro tip: hanging toiletry bags are my personal travel go-to, as they come in handy in limited counter space or small shower situations. Here is a manly leather alternative to the popular feminine hanging toiletry bag!

15. Apple AirPods

Apple AirPods for travel | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

If you think your boyfriend, fiance or husband would prefer an even more portable headphone option that still has Bose-esque audio, Apple AirPods are an unmatchably popular alternative.

The AirPod wireless charging capability will ensure that his earbuds will stay charged throughout his entire travel, and the small, pocket size will save a lot of carry-on space.

16. ‘Drive Safe’ Wooden Keychain

Drive Safe keychain | Couples travel gifts | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

Nothing will prompt a sentimental reminder to stay safe on the road like a keychain from you that reads, “Drive Safe. I need you here.”

17. ‘Our Adventure Book’ Couples Photo Book

Couples travel photo book | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

Dig out your best adventure photos as a couple, grab a glue stick, sit down and time travel back to your favorite trips by creating another sentimental, personal gift with the “Our Adventure Book” photo book.

18. Airplane Footrest

Help him kick back, relax and enjoy the flight.

Airplane footrest | Funny and practical travel gifts | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

Although an airplane footrest can make a somewhat laughable gift (in a good way, of course!), it is 100% practical. Who doesn’t want to relax more and cramp less in-flight?

Plus, this footrest may not be an item that your boyfriend, fiance or husband would necessarily purchase for himself, which really defines it as one of the best travel gifts for him.

19. Carhartt Travel Gifts for Him

Yes, Carhartt is traditionally a store for the tradesman’s or hunter’s go-to apparel, but lately, the brand has taken off as trendy to the everyday adventurer.

The popular clothing line sells everything your adventurer needs from beanies and hoodies to flannels and coats.

20. Portable Hammock

Portable Hammock Amazon | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

A portable hammock will allow your man to take a well-deserved break from his mountainous hike, or give your man an opportunity to unwind outside of his business-trip hotel.

This Amazon best-seller Kootek camping hammock comes with two tree straps, durable material and a user-friendly set-up.

21. Insulated Travel French Press Coffee and Tea Maker

Insulated Travel French Press Coffee and Tea Maker | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

I always advocate saving money for and during travel by refraining from spending unnecessary cash at coffee shops.

This insulated travel mug and french press coffee and tea maker will take away the temptation to find the nearest Starbucks and instead provide your man with a delicious morning beverage that far exceeds cheap hotel-room coffee.

22. Customizable Map and Constellation Print Travel Gifts for Him

There isn’t a more memorable way to celebrate his favorite travel destinations — or your favorite travel destinations as a couple — than through customizable home decor.

Choose the city in which you two met, his hometown or his favorite vacation spot and create a customizable map or constellation print for him.

The city maps are available in single prints, sets of three prints or sets of four prints.

23. Picnic Backpack

Picnic backpack for travel | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

The ideal day-trip consists of at least one picnic. Rather than packing a clunky lunch pale without a fun picnic blanket, plates, utensils or wine cooler, make the casual lunch stop an adventurous date. An insulated picnic backpack will make the to-be-reoccurring picnic-packing process a heck of a lot more convenient and romantic.

(Bonus points if you plan to take him on a hike to use the picnic backpack too!)

24. Nintendo Switch Travel Gifts for Him

Nintendo Switch | best practical travel gifts for him | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

If you don’t already know, the Nintendo Switch is a gaming system similar to the Nintendo Wii or the proceeding Nintendo DS. However, the Nintendo Switch stands out from competition as the only Nintendo gaming system that is completely portable (literally, you can play in the car, plane or anywhere else) and multiplayer.

Also, there are tons of popular Nintendo Switch games to choose from, such as Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing and Minecraft. You can shop the games here, and extra controllers and accessories below!

25. Sony Alpha a6100 Mirrorless Camera Kit (Lens Included)

Now, he can capture and share all his travel memories with high-quality photos and videos.

Sony Alpha a6100 Lens Kit is perfect for travel | Indigo Sahara | Travel & Lifestyle Blog

With Sony, you are paying for high quality. First of all, Sony is recognized among professional travel photographers and vloggers as one of the best camera brands for low-light environments, background blur and video. Here’s why:

First, the Sony Alpha a6100 is the cheaper and still high-quality version of the newer Sony Alpha a6400. Second, the interchangeable lens option and 4K video capability makes it much more attractive than the Canon version. Next, the screen flips up to get the best selfies or vlog shots. And finally, the 16-50mm lens that comes in the kit will be perfect for portrait and wide-angle shots needed for new travel photography.

Plus, mirrorless camera are much more durable, and therefore portable, than competing DSLR cameras.

This kit will provide your traveling boyfriend, fiance or husband with all of the gear he needs and more to capture professional-level photos and videos — even as an amateur.
