GIFT ideas FOR her
CANON PowerSHOT G7X
One of the best camera’s for travelers right now is the Canon PowerShot series. I like the G7X because it adjusts well for those who are used to taking pictures from their phones.
Why it’s great for travelers: With built-in wifi and bluetooth capabilities, it makes it easy to get the perfect shot and share directly to your phone. Plus, for the travelers who vlog, the live steaming abilities straight to YouTube make it the perfect gift.
TRAVEL JOURNAL
I didn’t start journaling about my travels until much later. Looking back, that was a huge mistake on my part. Pictures and videos are great memories to have, but there is something about writing about your travels that leaves a distinct memory for a traveler. It’s another way to keep your travel memories alive.
Why it’s great for travelers: It’s not only a way to document their travels, but the journal helps organize everything travel related in one place. It even has packing lists and a language converter.
LUGGAGE SET
No traveler’s gift guide is complete without a luggage set. Whether it’s the full set or just a carry on, luggage is super important for travelers alike. My favorite brands are AWAY and the CALPAK series.
Why it’s great for travelers: Luggage sets are great gifts for frequent travelers because it goes a long way when you get the right kind. Both AWAY and CALPAK are durable and lightweight — plus they are actually pretty to look at unlike other luggage!
AIRPORT/TRAVEL WEAR
There is nothing worse than being uncomfortable on a long flight. That’s why I always go for comfort rather than chic on airport and travel wear. My go-to is a pair of leggings, preferably Lululemon (literally feel like butter) and a top layer like a jean jacket or comfortable coat since it’s typically chily on the plane.
Why it’s great for travelers: Travelers will love the comfy wear that they can jet set around the world in.
JEWELRY TRAVEL CASE
I cannot tell you how many times I have had jewelry damaged or tangled when traveling. A jewelry travel case was a game changer!
Why it’s great for travelers: No more bent earrings, no more tangled necklaces. Hallelujah!
GIFT IDEAS FOR HIM
GOPRO HERO 9
We first bought our GoPro before traveling to Greece and now we never leave for a trip without it. It’s waterproof and has wifi capabilities so you can connect all of your videos and photos straight to an app on your phone. GoPro touts this camera as more of everything — more power, clarity and sustainability.
Why travelers will love it: While it’s best known for adventurous travelers, it’s also great for those who don’t want to lug around a lot of camera equipment or their phones.
WEEKENDER TRAVEL BAG
I’m pretty sure my husband would have been perfectly content just throwing his clothes in a grocery sack and calling it a day for the rest of his life. That is until I got him a weekender bag and he’s never looked back. While it’s not the shiniest gift for a traveler, a weekender bag is a must for any traveler. B loves his.
Why travelers will love it: A weekender bag is great for organizing all accessories and travel needs in one spot.
AIRBNB GIFT CARD
An AirBnB gift card is one of the best gifts for travelers since it can be used towards a stay at any of the many listed properties on AirBnB.
Why it’s great for travelers: For those who are looking for an experience outside of a regular hotel stay, AirBnB offers travelers the chance to immerse themselves fully in a city. A gift card that frequent travelers can use towards a stay is definitely one of the best gifts I’ve received.
NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES
I actually won a pair of noise canceling headphones and what do you know, they are now my husband’s. That’s right, he stole them from me and now he doesn’t travel without them.
Why it’s great for travelers: They block out nearly any noise when traveling on a busy flight. Plus, no wires to worry about and they are bluetooth enabled making it easy to take a call or listen to music.
PORTABLE CHARGER
This is another device we don’t leave home without. Some travelers use up a lot of battery life whether it’s looking up directions on their phone or taking those gotta have pictures, which is why a portable charger is a must.
Why it’s the perfect gift for travelers: Portable chargers allow travelers more battery life. They are also super lightweight, which makes traveling with them easy.
This Big Wild World
I’m really intrigued by the GoPro Hero 9 – I have an older version and have been thinking about upgrading. And always love a new travel journal – great idea!

I didn’t even know an airbnb gift card was a thing! That’s so cool. That would be a great wedding gift for a traveling couple!

These are some great suggestions! I think gifts like airbnb vouchers are great gifts for travelers this year. Since travel is on hold, I think it is a great way to contribute to a future vacation! Thanks for the great guide!
