We wish that every gift was a surprise trip to another exotic location. But, let’s be honest, our budget does just not allow for that. As a traveling couple our gifts for each other tend to be, well, travel related! This budget friendly gift guide will help you find the best surprise for your special someone.
The best travel gifts for her:
Personalized Passport Holder (RFID Travel Wallet)
We love our document holder. It is easy to keep all our travel documents together and when packing we already know it is all in one place. It helps when you are like Jaz and forget things behind. We carry our VIP lounge passes, travel cards, student IDs and of course our passports and plane tickets. Please do not carry all your money and cards in here, rather have an emergency card and cash placed separately.
It is hard to be a blogger. You have to be on top of your game and work pretty much all day. It is essential to be organized to grow your business. This content planner has helped us stay organized and not miss deadlines. This physical planner is made specifically for blogging and social media content producers.
The Instax Printer effectively turns your iPhone into a Polaroid camera. It produces prints instantly. It prints any photo you have on your phone via their app.
A cosmetic travel bag has helped me a lot keeping my toiletries organized. It is a thoughtful yet inexpensive gift for that important nomad in your life. It is the perfect size to carry toiletries and makeup. What I love the most about this toiletry bag is that it is waterproof and washable!
The best thing to keep your jewelry tangle free is by using a jewelry organizer. It will keep your beautiful rings, bracelets, earrings and necklace safe. We love our small travel jewelry organizer. This organizer is perfect to slip into a bag and stay organized during a trip.
After the passport, phone and money, a camera is the most important gadget when traveling. It is key to have something to hold it well to avoid dropping it or misplacing it. A camera neck strap does not need to be the generic one that comes with the camera, but can serve as a cute accessory.
The stylish Samuel Hubbard shoes are the most comfortable walking travel shoes. These lightweight leather shoes will make your feet feel like a day in the spa, even after miles of walking.
One of the worst things about traveling is wrinkled clothes when you arrive. Not only are your shirts and pants kept in tip top shape with a garment bag, it also helps organize your socks, underwear and other small items.
As technology advances on our passports and credit cards, you have to change the way you protect yourself. An RFID blocking wallet will keep all your essential information out of the hands of potential thieves.
Even though we use a backpack most of the time, we love when we travel with a wheeled carry on. It helps when you are carrying heavy stuff. It is the best when you only need to use it from the airport to the hotel, as wheeling it through a city can prove to be less than exciting.
It is important to have a safe and easy to grab your purse when traveling. Make sure your bag has a zipper so nothing easily falls out. It is even better if you can attach it to your carry on, so you do not need to worry about carrying everything in your hands.
The best gift you can give a blogger is the security of having their photos and content backed up. These hard drives are the perfect gift for any blogger who needs to backup all of their photos. We learned the hard way when we lost all the content we produced on our Eurotrip.
Even though we use a backpack most of the time, we love when we travel with a wheeled carry on. It helps when you are carrying heavy stuff. It is the best when you only need to use it from the airport to the hotel, as wheeling it through a city can prove to be less than exciting.
Never lose a luggage again. Well, it is up to the airline not to lose it, so it is important to always have your info on a luggage tag so they can figure out who it belongs to! At the same time a bright tag will make spotting your luggage at the airport carousel easier.
The best gift for a frequent traveler is the luxury of reading on the go and not having to worry about the weight of the entertainment. By giving an e-reader you are saving room and weight from any traveler. It is the traveler’s dream come true. It will be a great gift if you also get them an Amazon Gift Card for them to buy their first E- book.
Who does not like to take underwater photos? I love my Gopro because it is waterproof up to 33 feet without a housing. Isn’t that awesome? The brand new Hero8 Black has premium audio, 4 digital lenses, and you can create a super smooth SloMo effect from the built-in stabilization.
If your special guy already has a GoPro or other action cam, then spruce up his shots with some well deserved accessories. There are plenty of options for every sport or adventure. We highly recommend the 3-way camera grip, extension arm or tripod, perfect for selfies.
Packing cubes have saved us so much time and effort. No need to empty out your entire bag to find a pair of socks! Any traveler will be more than happy to receive one.
This DSLR is a great entry level camera for every traveller and blogger. It is great way to start out if you are looking to improve your photos from destinations around the world.
This small mirrorless camera takes the perfect high quality images and videos along your adventure. Being lightweight and compact means this camera can fit in any size bag.
A lens can be expensive, but are necessary for amazing travel photography. If you get your loved one a lens, make sure it is compatible with their camera and they will love you! If they do not have a camera, there are also lens attachments for cell phones to easily up your photo game.
The worst thing when traveling for a long period of time is to hear a baby crying or conversation which is just a little too loud. It is super relaxing and enjoyable to be able to listen to your own music.
Take care of your computer while travel and do not let it scratch or something spill on it. We always travel with a laptop to write this blog and edit images, without a cover it would be subject to every dent or scratch along the way.
After years of traveling we realized that the best photos of us as a couple came from a tripod. We found by asking fellow travelers for help that everyone knows how to take a picture but not how to take the perfect picture. We now always travel with a tripod to get the perfect shot.
We hate when our phone or camera runs out of battery, then we cannot take more pictures of the amazing places we are visiting. That is why we strongly recommend to travel with an extra battery bank. We prefer solar ones, but any works a great small gift for that travel loving someone.
Do not spend money buying expensive water in the airport. The best thing is to bring your empty water bottle and refill it in the water fountains after you go through security.
