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.✨

Gifts For Travel Lovers (They Actually Want!)

September 26, 2022

If you need gifts for travel lovers in your life, you have made it to the right place.

As a travel lover myself, I know a thing or two about what travelers actually want and what travelers actually use on their trips.

So, to make your gift hunt as quick and easy as possible, I have curated numerous gift guides for every single type of traveler on your shopping list.

Gifts For Travel Lovers (They Actually Want!)

Disclaimer: This post contains 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.

Between these overall best gifts for travel lovers, gifts for female travelers, gifts for male travelers, cheap gifts for travelers, unique gifts for travelers, birthday gifts for travelers, and, finally, Christmas gifts for travelers, there is no doubt you’ll leave with the perfect gift ideas in mind.

Best Gifts For Travel Lovers

Before we get into the different traveler types, I want to quickly introduce the top three gifts for travel lovers this year.

Overall, the best gifts for travel lovers are:

1. Kodak Wireless Mobile Photo Printer

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

An exciting alternative to gifting a basic polaroid is this Kodak wireless mobile printer.

This pocket-size printer connects to smartphones via bluetooth, allowing travelers to print polaroid-size photos from their phone’s camera roll from anywhere in the world in seconds.

I have one and love it. My mother-in-law gave it to me for Christmas last year. She knows me well!

2. Bose Portable Waterproof Speaker

Similarly, waterproof speakers to bring to the beach, pool, hotel room or hiking trail make excellent travel gifts.

My family has this travel-friendly Bose waterproof speaker, and we use it all the time. The audio is fantastic considering the speaker’s compact size.

Or, if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative that still yields great audio quality, this JBL portable speaker comes with a built-in carabiner clip to attach to suitcases, backpacks or purses. This speaker is also advertised to be dust-proof, which is great for sandy beaches.

My husband has a JBL speaker and swears by it.

3. Waterproof Smartphone Pouches

This next gift is much more affordable than the other best gift for travel lovers. And, I had to add it to the list because it has been one of the bestselling travel products among my readers this entire year.

This waterproof phone pouch keep phones safe, dry and usable during all underwater adventures.

This means your giftee will now be able to get epic underwater snorkeling footage without spending hundreds on an underwater camera.

Gifts For Female Travel Lovers

Now, if you’re looking for gifts for female travelers in particular, here are the best travel gifts for her this year.

I have personally received a variety of these travel gifts for her as gifts myself, so I know for certain that other traveling women would love to receive them as well.

Three of my favorite female travel gift ideas from this gift guide include:

  1. Insulated picnic basket backpack.
  2. Lululemon Wunderlust belt bag.
  3. Mini travel jewelry case.

Gifts For Male Travel Lovers

On the contrary, you may be searching for gifts for male travelers. In that case, tap here for the best travel gifts for him this year.

My husband has received many of these travel essentials as gifts, and he absolutely loves them all.

Some of his favorites include:

  1. Travel-friendly Nintendo Switch gaming system.
  2. Airplane seat phone mount.
  3. Leather travel toiletry bag.

Small Gifts For Travel Lovers

Moreover, there may be times when you’re in search of small gifts for travelers, perhaps for traveler friends, travel-themed gift baskets or travel-themed stocking suffers.

To be considered a truly small travel gift, the gifts must be small in both physical size and price.

So, by clicking here, you’ll find all of the best small gifts for travelers under $25 that are still totally practical for the everyday traveler.

A few of my personal favorite gifts from this small travel gift list include:

  1. Waterproof smartphone pouches.
  2. Handheld rechargeable fan.
  3. Refillable travel-size perfume and cologne bottles.

Cheap Gifts For Travel Lovers

Likewise, if you’re on a budget like I am, you’re always on the hunt for the best bang for your buck. Even though you want to give fabulous gifts, you don’t want to sacrifice an arm and leg to do so.

Thankfully, you can give fantastic gifts to travelers for a price much cheaper than travel itself.

Here are four of my travel gift guides that all contain cheap gifts for travelers under $25:

  1. Funny Travel Gifts Under $25 They’ll Actually Use
  2. Travel Gifts For Friends Under $25 That They’ll Actually Use
  3. Small Travel Gifts Under $25 That Are Still Practical
  4. 40+ Stocking Stuffers For Travel Under $25

Unique Gifts For Travel Lovers

Next, regardless of your budget, you likely want your gifts to be unique. It’s always a little awkward when you give a gift that the traveler already owns.

Based on my experience and research, here are the top 3 most unique gifts for travel lovers to give this year (in no particular order).

  1. Kodak wireless packet-size mobile photo printer.
  2. Personalized push-pin destination map.
  3. Homesick candle.

In addition, if you’re looking for a more comical travel gift as opposed to a serious, sentimentally unique travel gift, here are the best funny travel gifts under $25 that travelers will still actually use.

Birthday Gifts For Travel Lovers

Of course, any traveler would love any of the above gifts for travelers.

But, if you’re looking for an extra special birthday gift for your traveling giftee, you may want to check out my guide to the best birthday gifts for travelers, curated specifically with birthdays in mind.

A few of my favorite gifts from this list include:

  1. Bose waterproof portable speaker.
  2. Beis work tote.
  3. Global Entry.

Christmas Gifts For Travel Lovers

Similarly, while any of the travel gifts listed above would double as excellent Christmas gifts, sometimes you want gifts that are specific to Christmas.

However, Christmas-themed gifts can often be, to be frank, really tacky.

Luckily, there is some middle ground! Here are all the best Christmas gifts for travelers that are Christmasy but not tacky.

Some of my personal favorite Christmas gifts from this Christmas travel gift guide include:

  1. Christmasy toiletry bags.
  2. Travel-friendly collapsible Christmas tree.
  3. Fashionable winter boots.

Additionally, I also have an entire guide to the best stocking stuffers for travelers, which clearly make perfect Christmas gifts, here.
