Travel Gear Gifts

Looking for gifts that will make your travel easier and far more pleasant?  Look no further than these travel essentials!

1. Osprey Farpoint 40

The Osprey Farpoint 40 is an excellent, durable backpack that you can take with you anywhere.  It’s the perfect size for carry-on luggage on planes, but is also large enough to carry everything you need for a trip (including a laptop in the padded laptop sleeve!)

I’ve had mine for over two years now, and it is still holding up beautifully and is my favorite travel companion!  It works especially well in places that are difficult to bring rolling luggage, as you can just carry it easily and comfortably on your back.

2. Anker Portable ChargerAnother travel essential—this Anker portable charger is the perfect device to have on hand on long travel days (or even if you just use your phone a lot during your daily life!)

While chargers come in a variety of sizes, the Anker candy-bar sized charger has a lot of charge in a small space, which makes it an easy and light addition to any purse or backpack.

3. Belkin SurgePlus Swivel Surge Protector


Does the traveler in your life have a lot of devices to charge when on vacation?  With phones, cameras, extra batteries, and all sorts of other devices, it is sometimes useful to have the ability to plug several devices into the same outlet while traveling (especially if the place you’re staying only has one outlet in the room!)  That’s where this Belkin SurgePlus comes in.

As a surge protector, it’s also useful to have so you can plug your laptop into it in case of voltage spikes.  And with a convenient swivel plug design, this surge protector will be able to plug into any outlet slot—even if there’s furniture or other things partially blocking the way.

4. Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II)
Annoyed by noise while traveling?  Have trouble sleeping on airplanes?  These Bose QuietComfort headphones are noise-cancelling and will allow you some peace and quiet during your travels.  Worth every penny for the peace and relaxation they bring!

5. EnergyFlux Rechargeable Hand Warmer
My favorite travel accessory—especially when going somewhere cold—this rechargeable hand warmer allows your frozen fingers to warm up even on the coldest days.  Place it in your pockets or gloves for the best heating ability (one for each hand is nice!) and experience the magic.

6. TSA Luggage Locks

These combination locks are essential to have while traveling and work perfectly with the Osprey Farpoint 40 as well as with other lockable backpacks.  They’re also nice to use with your day packs or purses when you’re in places where there may be pickpockets.

Although they’re obviously not foolproof, they do provide an extra measure of peace-of-mind that someone won’t be able to just lift something out of your bags while you aren’t looking!

7. Smartwool Socks

Looking for socks for hiking or for cold-weather places?  Smartwool socks are the best!  They are warm and comfortable to wear, and dry quickly when you wash them.  With a variety of designs from Christmas-themed to all year round, there’s something for everyone!

Camera Gear Gifts

Does your traveler love adventure and capturing the moment?  Here are some gift ideas, whether they like to travel solo or with a group.

8. GoPro HERO7GoPro is the best-of-the-best in action cameras, and is especially great for underwater photography!  If you know a traveler who is into adventurous travel, this could be a good gift for them!

I recommend buying an extra battery with the camera plus a battery charger so you don’t need to charge them one-by-one in the camera.  If you’re planning to work with underwater photography or over-under shots, then a fifty-fifty mount could also be a fun and useful accessory to buy!

9. MeFOTO Roadtrip TripodEarlier this year when I was looking for a new tripod, I came across the MeFOTO Roadtrip Tripod and decided to give it a try.  I was looking for the perfect travel tripod—and I have to say, I think I’ve found it!  Lightweight and compact but still sturdy, this tripod is ideal for the solo traveler or for taking shots where you need stability.  And it folds up so small that it even fits in my day pack alongside my DSLR!

If you’re hoping to use it with your camera but also with your phone, MeFOTO offers phone mounts that makes this tripod easy to use and even more versatile.  The Roadtrip also comes in a beautiful leather edition as well.

10. Camera Wireless Remote
Another convenient tool for the solo traveler, this inexpensive wireless remote will allow you to take your own photos of yourself on your travels.  It’s especially handy when using with the MeFOTO or another travel tripod.

Be careful to buy the right version for you camera, though, whether that is Canon, Nikon, or something else!
