Whatever you’re looking for, whether it’s Christmas gifts for travelers or birthday gifts for people who travel for work, shops on Etsy have you covered. Here are some ideas for inspiration:
In-flight accessories: Jetsetters are always on the go, so anything that will help their flight experience will be an appreciated travel gift. A water bottle or foldable bottle is easy to transport and refill at stops along the way—and keeps them from having to pay airport prices for their H2O. For long flights, a travel pillow is a must. Sleep masks can also come in handy for snoozing en route to their destination.
Packing accessories: Packing, especially for a longer trip, can be tough. Anything that simplifies the process is a terrific gift. Options include travel cases for jewelry or toiletries—you can even look for a travel gift set of multiple bags and personalize them with a name or initials. Passport holders and money belts keep documents and money safe. Luggage tags can be personalized and make awesome gifts for business travelers and vacationers alike.
Items for on the ground: Once someone has arrived at their destination, smaller toiletries or accessories can come in handy. A small microfiber towel is thin enough to pack and cleans up messes on the go. Travel books and guides can be useful for exploring a new country, as are phrase books. Help them log memories along the way with a new travel journal. Lastly, don’t let a little precipitation interfere with their exploration. A small, compact umbrella will be a lifesaver on rainy days.
Tastes of home: Snacks or treats from home will bring a smile to your favorite traveler’s face, especially if they’re gone for long periods. Mints and candies can help keep energy levels up on long travel days. Make the gift extra special by considering items that are specific to home or hard to find abroad.
Travel gifts for home: Even when a traveler is at home, their mind is likely on their next adventure. A globe or map can help fuel their wanderlust. A scratch off map or world bucket list can help them keep track of and reminisce about all of the places they’ve been (and still want to visit).
