Looking for great gifts for friends and family? Are the ones on your list obsessed with travel like me? Here are six amazing gift ideas for the wanderer in your life.






1. Packing cubes


LIFE CHANGING. I can pack in a wheeled carry-on for a week in Europe in the winter. So, if THAT doesn't tell you how much I believe in packing cubes I'm not sure what will. You can use your packing cubes to organize your clothes in whatever way best suits you - pants/bottoms, shirts/tops, undergarments OR you can do a few outfits in each one. It's still completely up to you how to use them to maximize the benefits! Although my suitcase still manages to explode wherever I've arrived, these help keep my stuff more of an "organized chaos". After a few trips (or if during a trip I use one for dirty laundry), I just throw it in the washing machine when we get home. I got mine from Amazon and they are a bit similar to the ones linked here.


2. Away luggage


Away's "Bigger Carry-On with Pocket" has been on my wishlist ever since it's been on the website. I scoped out the Away brand about a year or two ago, but felt it to be pricey for luggage. Now I've decided to have no shame and admit my lust over this brand and their attention to detail. After one of my favorite bloggers was raving about her new Away suitcase, I was hooked! Wishlist item for me and I'm sure many many other travel-obsessed on your gift list.


3. Award Miles & Gift Cards


I know gifting gift cards and award miles isn't for everyone (I LOVE giving gifts and HATE giving gift cards), but trust me when I say it's one thing your travel buddy really would love AND be sure to use. If you know the airline(s) they're loyal to - GO FOR IT! If you're not sure or they don't have a specific one, give a Visa or similar gift card with a cute card and note about how it's for them to use to getaway or on airfare. If you know me, you know my preferred airline. That being said, I'm a sucker for a great deal.


4. Traveller Collective Travel Clips & Rings

Almost every world traveller I know wants to track the countries and/or states and provinces they've been to throughout their lifetime. Traveller Collective has clips and rings that are a neat way to track travel and act as another conversation piece about your adventures. These have been on my list for a while now! If you're not into the clips they have cute necklaces too!


5. Headphones


Every frequent flyer needs great headphones! I currently have over ear Beats I enjoy, but I don't feel like they hold a charge long. Watch a movie or so and I'm suddenly attached to the seat in front of me by 20384 cords so I can charge them and listen. I have been debating upgrading to some Bose QuietComfort for over ear headphones (and they're great for noise cancelling!) for a while now. If you're getting your travel buddy a pair of headphones that are primarily bluetooth, be sure to note if there is a cord/wired option for air travel as you'll need the headphone jack to use them for in flight entertainment.


6. RFID Blocking Travel Wallet


This travel wallet is a little gem that was introduced to me by my bestie's sister. I tend to be minimal in what I carry around wallet wise during travel, but I purchased the one linked here and used in on our trip to Spain. Needless to say I'm obsessed and may end up using it as my every day wallet. it even has a detachable wrist clip that comes in handy! The RFID blocking aspect gives me a little extra piece of mind while traveling too.


xoxo.

stay wild.
