We all know somebody who is constantly on the move – jetting off to far-flung destinations and experiencing the world in a way that leaves compelling lifelong memories. Travel enthusiasts can be tricky to buy for – if you can’t donate towards their next exhilarating trip, what do you buy for your loved one with wanderlust? Fortunately, there are numerous thoughtful gift ideas that won’t break the bank and may just make your recipient’s next adventure one they will never forget.
Reusable Bottle / Thermos
The cost of staying hydrated when you’re on the move can be eye-watering. With prices continuously rising, it’s easy to see why many travel enthusiasts prefer to bring their own hot beverages from home. Present your recipient with a good quality heat-retaining thermos or stainless steel reusable water bottle to keep their hot drinks warm, and their cold drinks cool for the duration of any trip.
Bucket List Travel Map
A visual representation of where in the world you have travelled can be a fantastic focal point for a living room or bedroom. Bucket list travel maps come in varying designs, one of the most popular being a world map featuring scratch-off metallic latex so you can scratch off the destinations you’ve visited to reveal the intricate artwork beneath. You can also purchase maps that depict world-famous landmarks and cities, so your recipient can flex their travel back catalogue to houseguests.
Power Bank
There is nothing worse than being on the go with low device battery. Unfortunately, many of the power outlets featured on public transport are faulty. Considering many of us rely on our smartphones for ticket access, directions and travel information, it is vital to keep battery levels high. Keep your recipient safe and ensure their journeys run smoothly by giving them a good-quality power bank so they can stay connected wherever they go.
Suitcase / Travel Bag
Those who travel regularly will know how quickly regularly used suitcases and travel bags wear out. When treated with care and respect, a good suitcase can last for years, so investing in quality is always advisable. Furthermore, a well-designed travel bag can infinitely improve the quality of any long-haul journey, with ergonomic design features and plenty of handy compartments for easy access to the essentials.
Designer Passport Holder
If your recipient’s passport gets used on a regular basis, it is likely looking a little tired and dog-eared. You can give their passport a much-needed makeover with a stylish designer passport holder to match their luggage. Passport covers and holders shield a passport from wear and tear whilst adding an extra element of security – some covers feature an RFID chip, which helps to protect sensitive personal data and reduce the risk of identity theft.
Meaningful Memento
If your recipient has everything you could possibly think of to enrich their future travel experiences, perhaps a meaningful memento from trips long past would be a safer, more sentimental option. For example, if they’re enthusiastic about train travel, you could purchase them a charming vintage train whistle. Alternatively, you could opt for an ornamental compass or spyglass to symbolise their exciting worldwide adventures.
Travel Pillow
Travelling can be exhausting – there is something about a long-haul journey that just wipes you out, physically and emotionally. Moreover, attempting to sleep on planes and trains can be exceptionally difficult as there never seems to be a comfortable position. Help your recipient catch forty winks on the go with an ergonomically designed memory foam travel pillow that supports their neck for comfortable upright sleeping positions.
Framed Photo
A framed photograph or print is another excellent option for a sentimental gift your recipient can display in their home. Your loved one likely uploads all their favourite travel snaps to their social media accounts. Choose one worthy of display and use an online printing service to order a high-resolution print on quality photo paper. Once received, you can elevate your gift by having it professionally framed.
Noise Cancelling Headphones
Public transport can be remarkably noisy. Relaxing and enjoying a journey can be exceptionally difficult with so much background noise; hence, every travel enthusiast needs a high-quality pair of noise-cancelling headphones so they can enjoy their future trips in peace. Depending on your recipient’s preference, you could purchase a pair of subtle wireless earbuds or some comfortable, over-head headphones for unmatched sound quality.
