Are you looking for the perfect gift for your jet setting friends or family? There is an overwhelming amount of choice available these days and it can be difficult to narrow down some of the best. So this holiday season we have done the hard work for you and compiled a list of 10 of the best Christmas gifts for travellers for all budgets!
Reusable water bottle
Water. It’s essential no matter where you are in the world. So why not make someone’s life easier and more eco friendly by getting them a reusable water bottle? Most bottles also have special thermal lining – meaning hot drinks remain that way for up to 24 hours. Choose from a variety of lovely designs or even get one personalised. If you know someone who is always travelling light, then why not opt for a collapsible water bottle instead!
The Adventure Challenge
Most travellers love adventures of all shapes and sizes. The Adventure Challenge is a personalised and fun way to enjoy new and unexpected experiences, whether at home or abroad. The interactive book comes with a variety of ideas and inspiration. Scratch off new ideas, complete the challenge and add in your photos. You’ll have some lovely memories to look back on one day. The challenge can either be purchased as the book alone or with the instant camera and comes in couple, family or friends editions.
A digital print of their favourite destination
Why not search through Etsy for a print of their favourite travel destination? From tropical beaches to city landscapes, the options are endless and it’s a great way to support smaller artists too. Many digital prints can also be personalised to add that extra special touch. There are some really beautiful prints out there, such as this vibrant print of Colombia!
An inspirational book
Why not get them a book that could inspire their next adventure? Whether it be a traditional guide book or an autobiography of a famous explorer, a good travel read will fill you with the desire to explore the world. Some of our favourites include Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts, Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho. Pair this with a personalised travel journal so they can document their own stories, and you’ve got the perfect Christmas gifts for travellers who love to read and write.
An international Snack Surprise
What could be better than a surprise box of snacks from another country? That’s exactly what Snack Surprise does! The subscription service sends out a box of goodies each month, each one with snacks from far and wide. It’s the perfect gift for both foodies and travellers who love to taste their way around the world. Why not choose a one off box as a gift and surprise your loved ones this Christmas.

Stitch your own passport cover
This cute passport cover allows you to stitch off the countries you have visited! The perfect gift that’s both useful and personalised, it’s bound to impress your travel-loving friends and makes a perfect Christmas gift for travellers. Check out this vegan one from Etsy.
Document holder
Travelling requires documents, and a lot of them. Help your loved one stay organised on their next trip with a document holder that keeps all their important information in one place. Choose from a range of options from sleek leather to bright and fun, or even get one personalised with their name!
Noise Cancelling headphones
A lively hostel. A crying baby. The constant stream of horns tooting outside your bedroom window. Travel comes with a whole variety of wonderful noises, and sometimes it’s necessary to drown it all out. Noise cancelling headphones are a fantastic travel companion and are one of the best Christmas gifts for travellers.
A Scratch Map
This one’s been doing the rounds for many years now, yet it remains a great gift for keen travellers. The thrill of scratching off a new country and watching your map become ever so more colourful is the best feeling for those who love to explore the world. If you think the recipient would rather have some inspiration instead of a standard scratch map, then look no further than the 100 places scratch poster.
Packing Cubes
Another necessity for those who are always packing and unpacking a suitcase. Packing cubes keep everything that little bit more organised and will be a welcomed gift for those who frequently traverse the globe. There are plenty of sizes and colours available too depending on where you shop.
