Finding a gift for travelers may be the most challenging task you will ever be given. They like to keep moving, with as little luggage as possible. What do you get for a person who cherishes experiences over things?
While travelers may not want an large items they cannot use on the road, they do enjoy items that can make their travels better. Because I’m sure you don’t want to drop the cash for their next vacation, check out these gift ideas for travelers to find a present that they will appreciate!
Passport Cover
Every world traveler has a passport, but do they all have a passport cover to protect this precious booklet? Save their passport from the dark depths of their bags. No one wants to enter a new country with a crinkled up passport!
Check out this passport cover by Travelambo. They make really great products. This passport cover has pockets inside for your other cards as well as RFID blocking capabilities to keep your information safe. It also comes in several different colors!
Electronics Organizer
In this technological era, we all have multiple electronic devices that we take with us everywhere we go. With all of those cords and chargers, having an electronics organizer is a must for any traveler.
Obviously, you will keep your larger items separate and your phone close at hand, but this organizer will keep all of your cords in one easy to find location. It sure beats digging through your bag while in a cramped airplane seat trying not to hit your neighbor when you are just trying to find your earbuds.
I use this roll-up electronic organizer by ProCase. It has multiple pockets and straps to keep everything together but separate. I have really loved having this, and I am sure that any traveler who is tired of doing battle with their cords will feel the same!
RFID Blocking Wallet
The more I read about people having their credit card information stolen by RFID, the more I wanted a wallet to prevent that from happening. There are several options for RFID blocking wallets available now. Get one as a gift and your travel loving friend will thank you!
One that I recommend is a minimalist design and is the one that I travel with. When you only need to take the necessities, this is the perfect option. It is also lightweight. Any traveler would love this wallet that fits in your pocket!
If you are buying for a person who needs a larger wallet with lots of pockets, Travelambo also makes larger options. This RFID blocking wallet comes in multiple colors and can hold all of your cards. It also has two zip up pockets for cash and change!
Scratch the World Travel Map
This map from Maps International comes highly rated from Amazon and is a #1 best seller! This particular map has a lot more detail than some other ones that I have seen. I am sure that any traveler would enjoy this gift!
Kindle Paperwhite
Honestly, this is a gift for anyone who loves to read, but travelers spend a lot of time on airplanes, on trains, on boats, hiking through the middle of nowhere. You get it. They sit around a lot and wait to get to the next location. Travel time provides them with extra time for reading (if that is their thing).
IThe Kindle is a lightweight e-reader that holds hundreds of books with a pretty impressive battery life. I also highly recommend Kindle Unlimited for those avid readers who burn through books like it’s nobody’s business. Because it isn’t really.
My Kindle has been my constant companion through the rainforest of Costa Rica, the big cities in Japan, the mountains of Alaska, and everywhere in between. The Kindle Paperwhite is my go-to e-reader because it’s backlight is easy on the eyes, and it functions solely as a reader. No options for browsing the internet or playing games will distract you.
A Light, but Warm Jacket
The thing I dread most about traveling in the Winter is traveling with a bulky jacket. I found a lighter jacket from Eddie Bauer a while back that I have worn quite warmly in the mountains of Japan and Alaska. I wouldn’t recommend it for any major snow sports or travel in the dead of winter, but if you expect the temperature to drop close to freezing, this is the jacket for you.
It is reversible and has lots of zip-up pockets to store all of your items. I can only recommend the women’s jacket from personal experience, but I am sure that the men’s version is just as great. This is a great gift to tell your friend that you want to help keep them nice and warm on their travels.
A Beautiful Camera Strap
If are buying a gift for a person who takes photos around the world, a nice new camera strap would serve as a wonderful gift. Having more than one strap is a wonderful thing. As they hike through forests, jungles, and cities, their own strap is bound to get sweaty and dirty. This replacement will show them that you care.
I love these straps that I found on Etsy. Not only are they beautiful designs, they are also very comfortable to wear!
A Turkish Towel to Keep Dry
If you want to give a versatile gift, a Turkish towel has more than one use! They can be used as a towel, but they also function as a scarf, shawl, yoga mat, and even a blanket!
They come in many lovely designs. This towel will be perfect for the person who stays in hostels or frequents the beach.
A Pillow to Remember Them By
If you are looking for a gift for a pet owner who loves to travel, consider getting them one of these pillows. Custom made and shaped to look like their very own pet, they can take them with them all over the world and squeeze them when they are missing their fur babies.
Last But Not Least
Any of these gifts will need to be wrapped for a traveler. This lovely gift wrap will get them excited to embark on that next adventure with the gift that you gave them!
I hope that you found the perfect gift on this list. If not, let me know what you ended up getting! I could always use new ideas for my own gift-giving.

I never thought to get an electronics holder. That is such a great idea. All of my headphones, cords, and converters are rolled up and tangled with each other. It’s a mess. I lose them or have to dig for them in my Mary Poppins bag. And every year, we get more and more gadgets, and it gets even worse.
I should cover my passport, too. It got slammed on our last trip and pages are mangled.
These are great suggestions! Thanks! And happy travels ; )
I got my electronics holder after I saw my brother with one. He is a techy person and has way more cords than I do. It really changed my packing game!
I love my passport cover. I feel better about it not getting crushed in my bag now. It looks nice as well!
Thanks for reading!! Happy travels to you, too!
