Do you know someone who can’t sit still, and who, just before Christmas, is planning next year’s trips instead of baking gingerbread? Neither the weather nor the season puts them off – they explore new places whatever nature throws at them. Looking for a gift for someone like that? We’re happy to suggest what to give a traveller.
A gift for a traveller has to be practical – but not only that
Usefulness is number one when travelling – after all, we only pack the essentials into a backpack or suitcase. But besides exceptionally practical items, the things that help capture memories of the places visited are important too.
A tracker for luggage, keys and gear
Safety comes first. Give the traveller a GPS tracker which, hidden in a bag, will protect their luggage if it’s lost or stolen and help them find it again. The notiOne GPS tracker was recently launched on the market, and it comes with no recurring fees whatsoever. That makes it a wonderful gift, because it doesn’t burden the recipient financially.
Waterproof and thermal clothing
This is something that will come in handy especially for people who love soaking up the beauty of nature. Mountain trips can surprise you – a nice raincoat will be a lifesaver. Thermal clothing also helps maintain the right body temperature, and it dries quickly. On top of that, it simply looks good and can be worn every day.
A multitool
Scissors, a penknife, a corkscrew – we don’t usually think about them when packing, but the need for them on a trip can take you by surprise. Think about an engraved multitool – that way the memory of you will accompany the traveller even when they’re very far away 🙂
A camera
Not too big, but good quality. In exceptional places a phone may not capture the charm of the surroundings, whereas a camera will cope superbly with more demanding lighting or zoom.
A selfie stick
How do you take a photo that shows both the people on the trip and the beautiful view behind them? A selfie stick will help in that situation 🙂
A more dreamy suggestion: a photo album or handicrafts
Check out some original photo albums that might perfectly suit the other person’s taste. With one of these, all their memories of the places they’ve visited will be in one place.
People who love travelling often appreciate handicrafts too. These are unique, original products: just like the experiences from their trips. And the choice is huge: from ceramics with personalised designs, to paintings, textiles and even plant hangers such as macramé.
