Stumped about what to get the traveler in your life?

Try these ideas!

When it comes time for you to choose a gift for a travel-loving friend, making decisions can be tough. Journals are great.  However, not all travelers are journalers.  Those who are, often have at least a few blank ones on hand. Here are some unique takes on classic ideas for the various kinds of travelers in your life.

For the foodie:

Send delicious global flavors right to their doorstep.  Try The World partners with top chefs from Argentina to Morocco.  They assemble gorgeous boxes filled with curated delicacies from each country.  They are delivered every other month and each box contains descriptions for how to use the tasty and exotic flavors.

For the well-accessorized:

Customize a favorite map to make cufflinks, bracelet, or a pendant. Have a special place you want to commemorate? Maybe the place of a first date or a favorite childhood destination? This can be a beautiful and deeply personal way to show your traveler that you know what matters to them most.

For the crafty commemorator:

Check out this simple, beautiful way to re-trace steps and wonderful memories with a map and a thread.  It allows you to use descriptive titles too.  Imagine a wall decorated with these minimalist representations of memorable adventures!  

For the traveler who has everything and wants to give back:

We all have a friend who seems to have everything.  So, why not make a donation to a favorite cause in your traveler’s name?  You can choose organizations that support environmental stewardship or advocate for people in crisis.  Also, a program promoting education is also another good option.  

For the traveler who’s always up for adventure:

I’ve written before and explained how using actual experiences work best for making memories.  However, finding something special for an adventurer might prove to be challenging.  At Experience Days, you can give the gift of a lifelong great memory to someone you care about. Try everything from hang gliding and car racing to art lessons throughout the United States. What a great surprise for honeymooners or a friend’s next big adventure!

For the gadget-junkie:

Since traveling in other countries requires different outlets, this funky, color-coded 4-in-1 adapter is perfect for the tech-savvy traveling family.  It’ll help ensure that everything electrical stays running smoothly.  For the hardcore gadget-junkie, what about these stylish vests, hoodies and jackets with interior pockets (for men and women) to hold everything from smartphones to keys to water bottles?

For the photographer:

If your friend is never without his/her smartphone or camera, why not make it easy for them to create beautiful and lasting photo albums, calendars or prints of their best shots? At Artifact Uprising, they can connect directly with their Instagram account.  As a result, they can use stored photos to assemble their most gorgeous memories.
