The 2018 Holiday Travel Gift Guide

November 26, 2018 | Jamie Rowley

The travel lover in your life might be one of the most difficult people to shop for because it always seems like the only thing they want is more travel. Which is probably not wrong, but there are still plenty of ways to gift them a little love. This list is just a few of our favorite travel-related items spanning all different budget ranges.

Wine Suitcase

Our new travel obsession! One of the best gifts we’ve ever received. This has the ability to hold 12 bottles of wine and stay under the weight limit. On our latest trip to Italy, this suitcase allowed us to bring home 6 bottles of wine on one side and extra clothes and gifts on the other!

Scratch Map

Track travels with a fun scratch off map. The scratch off doesn’t always come off super pretty, so if your traveler is particular about staying the lines, then a magnetic globe works great.

Travel journals

We’re big on taking notes electronically, except for when we’re traveling. We still prefer taking notes and keeping track of our adventures with good ol’ fashioned pen and paper.

There are so many different types of travel journals, including some that give you prompts on being more adventurous while you travel. 


Travel Towel

This one usually gets us some funny looks because hotels have towels. However, if you’re cruising or at an all-inclusive and you head out on an excursion, We’ve often found that the provided towels don’t quite cut it. A microfiber towel is thin enough to pack, super absorbent and quick to dry.

Mini Surge Protector

There are never enough outlets in hotel rooms, especially on cruise ships. This small packable surge protector allows you to have a few more outlets available and has space for your USB charger.

Pashmina Wrap

We love keeping a wrap on hand when traveling abroad especially in warmer months/climates. You never know when you’ll need to have your shoulders covered or when air conditioning might be on full blast. We’ve even used one as a makeshift skirt over shorts when shorts weren’t appropriate.

Trtl Pillow

We’ll admit it. We laughed when we first saw this. However, it’s legit. This pillow supports your head and neck when in a seated position making it perfect for planes and trains.
