Traveling these days is… complicated (or be non-existent, for most of us) because of COVID-19. But that doesn’t mean you should lose your wanderlust all together.
To buy something useful for someone who travels often, you have to think like a traveler. Here’s our top ten travel gifts to inspire your Christmas shopping.
External Hard Drive or SSD
Coming home from a trip empty-handed isn’t much fun. Having the best external hard drive or SSD for your PC or Mac is essential if you have lots of creative work to store. With the introduction of 4K, and now 8K video, the file demands are continually increasing. Solid-state drives (SSDs) have fewer moving parts than traditional hard drives, and they offer the speediest access to your data. For editing movies and photos on an external drive, nothing really gets the job done like an SSD.
Lightweight Travel Tripod
Tripods are not the most obvious gift item for a traveler, but if your friend is into photography, this might be a good option. When you have a high-quality (and better yet, lightweight and compact,) travel tripod, your photos will be taken to the next level.
Hat
It’s no secret that we love good hats! If you want to add a touch of rock-and-roll or take a dressy look to the next level, the easiest way is with a good-looking fedora. The fedora is versatile and great with almost everything.
Lack of Color hats are expensive, yet so beautiful.
Though, if you’re still searching for something that’s packable, there’s plenty of canvas, or straw bucket hats that will certainly do the trick.
An absolutely practical gift for every traveler!
Camera
In a world where your social profile speaks for the person you are, having a photographer friend is a huge asset. But not with a new iPhone.
Phone
For those pro photographers out there, the new iPhone 12 Pro Max will also capture images in Apple ProRAW. Overall the improvements for photo video are huge if you are upgrading from an iPhone X or later.
Yes. This is an expensive gift for a special person (or ultimately for yourself). But this is absolutely certain, a gift that everyone will like.
Travel Adapter
An absolute must-have for travelers and we cannot forget to include it in this gift guide.
Every traveler will appreciate it if you gave them a travel adapter as a gift.
The best adapter that also works for us. It’s smartly designed, lightweight and very compact.
The ultimate daily backpack
The Backpack is intended to be your do-everything, go-everywhere workhorse bag. It has everything you need both in style and practicality. Can’t be beaten.
Douchebags The Backpack 21l Backpack + Douchebags CIA Camera Bag Pro (sold separately).
Amazon Kindle
Amazon Kindle is a perfect gift for anyone who travels. Oh yeah, we forget to mention that the battery lasts weeks on a single charge. Read books throughout your vacation and don’t even carry an extra charger with you.
Vitamins & Supplements
Traveling can put unneeded stress on your body’s immune system.
Multivitamins are vital to your health and make sure your body gets the vitamins and minerals it needs. When it comes to nutrition both men and women have different needs.

Sleep Mask
A sleep mask is a perfect accessory for travelers who appreciate a little peace and quiet, wherever they may be. After all, sleep masks are proven to help travelers adjust to different time zones and reduce the effects of jet lag.
Face masks
Generally speaking, the overall energy for flying right now is stressful. If you’re planning a getaway by air – it will mean you’ll need to wear a face mask for a prolonged period. Many airlines are also recommending passengers bring several masks with them. There are a large number of options available on https://www.anthropologie.com
Headphones
The best travel headphones come equipped with noise cancelling technology, which actively blocks out the intrusive sounds around you. So, do not forget about this small but important detail when choosing a gift.
We love ours from Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H9. With an impressive 22-hour battery life and a dedicated headphone app, these are definitely a great addition for any traveler.
Case for memory cards
Keeping all memory cards organised in one place can be quite tricky. Memory card case is an essential tool for any traveler and easy to gift since it’ll work well to keep your cards in order. The memory card case by BEEWAY is a thoughtful gift idea that will save you from a card lost nightmare. Believe us, we were at this boat.
Drone
Just imagine shooting bird’s eye views with your Mavic 2 Pro. Currently the best travel option considering size and image quality. Camera with a high dynamic range allows it to shoot even in low light, while the drone has a compact and simple look.
This drone is very easy in use, even a beginner could fly it with confidence after a few drone pilot training sessions. Gifting this one will help any traveler in opening new angles and perspectives in creating travel memories.
Lipo Bag
If you need to carry all your batteries safely during your flight, the best option will be putting them into a lipo bag. All lipo bags are made from fireproof material and can withstand an internal thermal resistance of about 1040 ℉ (560 ℃).
Don’t choose to buy a cheap lipo bag, it may not work as good as you expect.
We use a lipo bag to keep our batteries every time we are on a flight.
Prefer to buy bags with separate compartments and large capacity of expanded dimension, to have enough space to place multiple batteries at once.
Underwater dome
If you’re feeling like a super generous gift giver, you can’t go wrong with Sea Frogs underwater dome for DSLR cameras. It’s a brilliant choice for underwater photos and video.
We take our every time we go on a trip to tropical countries and use it not only to get underwater pictures and videos, but to achieve half half effect pictures.
Telesin
This is our favourite small, compact dome for GoPro Hero series action cameras.
Cheaper option of a previous one dome for DSLR cameras and super easy to carry around especially on trips.
We’ve been using TELESIN 7inch Dome Port Dive Case with our
GoPro camera for years and everything was great.
AER for GoPro
AER for GoPro is an awesome present to help you capture great shots from a completely different perspective without using a drone. We mean that you litterary can throw your GoPro camera up in the air to get a picture. Can imagine how exciting this could be? We recently got this new toy for our GoPro. Basically all you need is to put a GoPro camera inside and throw it right away. We’ve tried AER for GoPro several times, so far, and got some pretty hilarious videos.
