Christmas is approaching faster and faster, and the holidays are also a time to give gifts to those closest to us.
No idea what to buy your closest travel enthusiasts? Or maybe you yourself don’t know what you want to get for Christmas? :)

Gifts for the traveler
That’s why we’ve put together a list of more and less obvious gifts for people who like to travel. A little based on our own experience (which is useful to us) and a little based on our own wish list ;)
This is perhaps the biggest obvious. Every traveler must have such a map on his wall ;) Nevertheless, we want to mention it, because you may not have heard of it yet.
The idea will be 100% hit, but make sure the lucky person doesn’t already have such a map at home before buying.
We recommend this one from AliExpress. However, you must hurry to buy (shipments from China go as long as 30 days, but you can pay extra for a faster courier).
This is a slightly different proposition than the abrasive map above. In this case, we are talking about a cool decoration that can be easily glued to the wall and further arranged.
Personally, we have two such maps. A colorful one at Olivia’s and a black one in the hallway :)
On Ceneo you will find a lot of interesting proposals, colorful for children and more subdued for adults.
A water bottle and preferably with a filter. Incredibly practical gift, without which we can not imagine even the shortest trip. Why?
Water is healthy :) In addition, we do not have to buy small bottles of water (ecology!), the filter further treats the water (although we drink tap water quietly, of course from proven sources). You can also safely replenish your water supply at the airport, after you have already passed through control (so as not to drink “airplane” water).
We are not backpackers, although we often travel with a backpack. We also know the importance of a good, packable and lightweight suitcase. The market is full of them, but somehow it just so happened that those from the Samsonite family have worked well for us over the years.
That’s why we think it’s a good and apt gift, as long as your friends don’t travel exclusively, always and everywhere and only with a backpack ;)
It is important that the finish is solid. Also very practical are the 4 swivel casters.
An ultralight backpack that can be easily folded, takes up little space, and is quite packable, is also an interesting gift option for the traveler. It comes in handy during sightseeing or a day trip to the beach.
Many of you really liked the bag we had with us in Lithuania. And we recommend it in good conscience :)
This is no ordinary rag potato bag from the market – it’s really decently made, with a small express pocket inside, and the large pocket is closed with a snap closure. In truth, a cool, versatile gift.
A secure belt can come in handy to stash copies of documents (passport, ID) and/or some cash for a rainy day. May it never come in handy for anyone, although the prudent is always insured.
It practically takes up no space, you always have it with you, and in difficult situations its contents can prove to be a lifesaver.
Survival card, Multitool, Bushman card, Resuce card…. Thousands of names and thousands of uses. Personally, we have never used such a card, but we know that some travelers do not go on any trip without it.
That’s why it made it to our list. Quite a cheap gift, and also practical, even more so for those traveling who like to DIY :)
More precisely, such a cosmetic bag that you can easily hang and use it during the morning/evening toilet :) You do not have to fiddle with laying out cosmetics, look for a place to put them away – the hook will hang everywhere.
Do your friends travel with a baby and complain how hard it is to pack the stroller in the car every now and then, or are unable to drive the stroller on the beach? A sling or carrier will work perfectly in these and other situations. We found this out for ourselves.
A gift a bit in the category of those more expensive, but definitely worth the price :-)
Since Ali Express is becoming more and more popular lately, you can easily find gadgets for travelers there too, such as a watch with a flying plane ;)
A power bank (energy bank) will come in handy when least expected, saving its owner from quite a bit of trouble. Well, after all, how can we continue to use navigation, take pictures, or call loved ones when suddenly our smartphone discharges in the middle of the day in the middle of the desert? :)
A small nimble tripod for a smartphone can come in handy for those who want to take night photos or do not prefer selfies versus standard photos. On top of that, it is small, lightweight, fits even in a pocket and can be hooked up to a tree, for example :)
If you’re not sure if the hotel will have towels, or if you need a small (but large) towel for the beach or for your backpack for camping, it’s worth thinking about a lightweight and quick-drying towel.
It takes up much less space than traditional towels, and many times it is better to wipe yourself with it when coming out of the shower. It’s also perfect for a quick beach getaway :)
There are plenty of “345 in 1” combo adapter offers on the market. Personally, we do not reflect such, because they are usually heavy and take up a lot of space in the luggage.
Well, unless one is going on a trip around the world. But we usually know what country we are going to and will only need one type of adapter. And single ones don’t take up as much space and are usually much lighter.
In fact, in our closet we have only two types of adapters (usa and British). A very interesting gift idea is to buy a few of these adapters each (often more than one is useful) and make a cool package out of them ;)
...prefers a quiet, lazy vacation, but does not miss the opportunity to see something interesting and bravely keeps pace with Kamila. Contrary to appearances, he also loves active leisure :) He is responsible for the organizational and practical part of the trip, i.e. he makes sure that we get to the ... More about us >>
