Gifts for the Home
Destinations of a Lifetime: 225 of the World’s Most Amazing Places
This coffee table book from National Geographic is a photographic tour of the world and I’m sure it would inspire ideas for many vacations. Not only are the pictures beautiful, the book also provides when to go, where to eat, where to stay, and what to do, to ensure the most enriching and authentic experience.
Hometown Travel Mug
This mug can be customized to have the silhouette of your favorite state (or country) with a heart in the middle. There’s ceramic for mornings at home or stainless steel for those days on the go.
JCrew Metallic Moccasins
Let’s be honest, when I’m at home, I’m usually in my pajamas hard at work. These faux shearling lined moccasins would be perfect house slippers and would dress up any outfit.
Bronze Custom Map Key Ring
This key ring can be personalized with the location of your choice. A special gift to preserve someone’s favorite travel memory.
Minted Gold Foil Artwork
Minted has this beautiful collection of gold foil artwork. You can choose the monument, state, or map and they create it and ship it to you. A beautiful addition to any home.
Try the World subscription box
Every two months Try the World ships a product box from a different company filled with gourmet food from around the world. In addition there are recipe cards, playlists, and information about the country. Sign me up!
Gifts Made for Travel
Leather Travel Wallet and Passport Cover (RFID Blocking)
Not only will this wallet hold your cash, credit cards, and passport, it will prevent would be thieves from accessing your personal information with its RFID blocking material. Perfect for a traveler on the go!
Tile Phone Finder
I hate to admit it, but I am always losing things. Keys, wallet, kids, you name it. With this Tile Phone Finder you attach it to an item and if it gets lost, this Bluetooth enabled tracker and its app will locate the item in no time.
Buddha Pendant from Rustic Souls
I honestly love all the jewelry from Rustic Souls, but I really love this buddha pendant. Perfect with any outfit and a thoughtful gift for the traveler in your life.
Belkin Tassel USB Port
How many times have you searched high and low for a charger? For me, it’s too many times to count. If I had a Belkin Tassel USB, the power to recharge my device would always be at my fingertips. No cords to get tangled and it’s nicely hidden behind the tassels.
Victorinox Swiss Army Huntsman Pocket Knife
Can you say practical? A can opener, bottle opener, corkscrew, scissors, you name it. It’s all here and it fits in your pocket. Just remember to pack it in your checked bag, you don’t want to lose it to security.
Paris in Color Notebook Collection
The photographs on these notebooks capture the beautiful colors of Paris. Perfect for taking on the road, keeping notes, or using as a journal.
Oh the Places You’ll Go Luggage Tag
I love this luggage tag I found on Etsy, but if this isn’t your favorite travel quote, find another, they have several to choose from.
Ricardo Beverly Hills Roxbury Carry On
I have one of these bags, and it is my favorite one to bring on trips. It has dual spinner wheels, making it easy to push or pull along.
Bose Quiet Comfort Headphones
Not only are these gorgeous to look at, they keep the noise out! There are so many times I wish I had these when we traveled.
Travelwrap
This beautiful cashmere wrap is perfect for long plane rides or a day in the city. Large and comfortable, I imagine once I put it on, I would never take it off.
Mobile Foodie Survival Kit
It is becoming more common to stay in other people’s apartments and homes when traveling. When you are living as a local, there are many times you cook your own meals. Having a travel spice kit will make everything taste better.
Tocca travel fragrances
It seems I alway leave my perfume at home because it’s either too large for travel or I’m worried it will spill. These Tocca roll on fragrances are small enough to throw in your purse and the gift set makes the perfect stocking stuffer.
Drybar “Escape Plan” Travel Set
This travel kit is person for those of us that have our hair straightened and want it to last when we travel. The kit comes with a shine cream, a de-tangler travel size brush, and dry shampoo. I live for dry shampoo when I travel because there are many places it takes way too long to blow dry my hair.
Gift Cards for People Who Love Travel
Airlines
This almost goes without saying. Help a traveler out by giving them airline gift cards so they can see the world!
Travel Photographer
Did you know you can arrange for a professional photographer to take pictures when you’re on vacation? Use a company like Flytographer and you’ll have travel memories to last a life time.
Hotels/Alternative Accommodations
Most major hotel chains offer gift cards on their websites, but did you know you can also get travel credits on airbnb? Help someone plan their vacation and they’ll be thanking you for a long time!
Experiences
If you haven’t heard of Tinggly or Cloud 9 Living, you might want to check them out. Both offer gift cards for unique experiences locally and around the world.
I now have half a dozen tabs open, to check out some of these fabulous gifts. Of course most are for me 🙂 Thanks!
I love those mugs! I totally want to get one for myself LOL with a big Massachusetts on it. I love where I live 🙂
That’s kind of what I was thinking when I made the list. I would love some of these too (hint, hint hubby)!
That would be perfect since you are all things Massachusetts!
This is a fantastic gift guide, you have given me inspiration for buying a gift for my neighbour. He loves to travel! x
I really love those luggage tags. They are so unique and creative. The Tocca gift set is also perfect for travel.
I NEED the Buddha pendant in my life!! I love it!!
XOXO
Love the Buddha pendant! That would go perfectly with the yoga gift guide I posted today lol! I love to travel but I’m more practical with travel stuff. Though I admit you can’t beat a good pair of headphones for travel
Such amazing gift ideas!! I absolutely love that Buddah head!
I love that gold foil print and the headphones look amazing! I don’t travel as much as I’d like to, but these look like great gifts!
I am so digging the art print of the state by Minted. I love artwork with a purpose & it would be great to have if you had traveled there or born there – how fun!
I think there are few things as great for a traveler as an amazing set of head phones. They are needed for sleeping and entertaining!
This is an amazing list! I have been having a hard time this year, I have no idea why. I am definitely enjoying the season, but my home doesn’t seem quite as Christmas-y as in the past. We haven’t even really listened to any Christmas music! I’m hoping to finish up my shopping this week -we shall see!
A fantastic list of ideas. I would like that travel book, leather wallet and perfumes . Heck I just want everything on the list.
I’ve heard of “Try the World” food subscription box and I just keep putting it off. I’ve heard so many wonderful things about it and just hopped over the the website today to sign up. Love this list as I know a few travelers who would love to get these gifts!
These are awesome gift ideas. My sister would love the bluetooth finder.
This is such a great little list, I love the idea of the travel spice kit – we stay in a lot of airbnb places when we travel, and the one thing I am always in need of is some spices for cooking.
Happy to help!
Me too! I love that they have several quotes to choose from. I’m also hoping for the Tocca set for Christmas (hint, hint to my husband).
Isn’t it beautiful?
You’re right, it would go with your yoga guide. And I agree about the headphones. Everyone needs a good pair!
That pendant is definitely a winner. Lots of people are fans!
Isn’t that print something special? I could definitely see having one of those in our home.
I agree! That print is beautiful. Minted does some really great work.
I agree Debra. Headphones are essential!
Heather we are on the same page! Maybe it’s because we were gone for Thanksgiving, but I can’t seem to get my holiday swing on. Trying to finish up shopping this week too!
I’m with you. I’ll take one of each please. : )
That’s awesome Jessica. I plan on doing the same thing!
I seriously need the bluetooth finder. Everyone in my family agrees.
Thanks Donna. I was thinking the same thing. We stay in a lot of apartments and they never seem to have the spices we want or need.
Love the idea of a USB tassel. We’re always looking for ways to charge our devices. Especially traveling to blogging conferences.
These are some great gift ideas!!!! I could so use some new luggage that’s for sure 😉
Me too!
Yes, this would be great for a conference.
This is such an extraordinary little rundown, I cherish the possibility of the travel flavor pack – we stay in a considerable measure of airbnb spots when we travel, and the one thing I am dependably needing is a few flavors for cooking.
