Whether on a hunt for the best gifts for travelers that spend 24/7/365 away from home or someone, who travels occasionally but writes about their experiences on an online blog, you’ll find something useful in this quick guide.

#1 Wooden World Maps

If nothing else, an elegant and vibrant world map from Enjoy The Wood adds ambiance, comfort, as well as style to any interior. Rather than just looking like a geographical tool, it is an artwork that brings your room to life. Handcrafted from earth-friendly wood, the map from a Ukrainian brand says much about a giftee, emphasizing their passion for traveling and documenting every other trip. It can be personalized by adding photos of your visited places. Got some pics from your joint trip? Push-pin them to the map to record shared memories!

The Poster City Map will beautify any interior, telling some remarkable stories of your life.

#3 An Instant Camera

What to gift a travel blogger who documents every bit of their travels? Photographers from the so-called ‘instant gratification’ camp will appreciate this cute instant camera. With photos immediately printed out, precious moments will be easily captured! Go for gadgets like Fujifilm Instax SQ1 with extra options, such as auto exposure and one-touch selfie mode.

#4 A Power Bank

What a bummer to be eager to take photos at Piazza del Colosseo and hear the battery signaling, “Nah, no way!” Ensure your favorite traveler has a quick charge wherever they wind up – get a high-speed portable charger. These items are usually compact and lightweight enough to fit any travel back.

#5 The Air Pods Pro

If there’s a crying infant among co-passengers, nixing ambient noise while diving into some good book is possible with these iconic Apple AirPods Pro. Do you prefer some ambient sounds? Pick the so-called transparency mode, and you won’t miss your favorite chickpea salad or espresso next time the flight attendant comes around.

#6 An Airbnb Gift Card

As an alternative to typical hotels, Airbnb offers some unique places for travelers. Browse Amazon for a gift Airbnb card and let your unique wanderer pick the most suitable destination (they'll save some bucks!) for the next trip. Choose the denomination from $25 to $500 based on your current budget. It's gotta be cozy!

#7 A Subscription to Babbel

Traveling to faraway kingdoms is always an adventure and…a challenge. If possible, you should learn some bits of a foreign language before you set off. Available for PC, macOS, and iOS, the Babbel app will surely get even shy beginners in a new language in a couple of weeks. Babbel's languages include Polish, French, Indonesian, German, Spanish, etc. If an adventurous soul you seek a gift for struggles with language barriers, help them out. With a Babbel subscription, they will get conversational sooner than you know!

#8 She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm

As for solo woman travelers, safety is a must. While traveling is usually associated with positive emotions, no one is safe from getting into difficult situations. With a simple personal safety alarm, even a serial traveler will feel safer while making the most of Phuket nightlife or walking around the streets of Rio.

#9 External Hard Drive

For those who blog about every other voyage, using gadgets is their thing, especially if they do loads of photos, videos, screenshots, presentations, etc. As their blog ranks higher, so do files. Make sure they don’t feel limited! There are loads of choices on the market for external hard drives. Most offer storage space levels of 2TB. Ensure whatever you purchase is secure, reliable, fast, as well as compatible with their PC system.

#10 Tripod/Remote

One of the best gift ideas for travelers who usually go solo. Having no operator means they take care of all photos and videos themselves. The good news is that there’s a magic wand called a Bluetooth remote. Once they need to be in front of the camera, they can manage the process without running from and to the perfect spot.

#11 Blogging Courses and Books

Regarding knowledge, only the sky is the limit. Bloggers never stop learning! You can ease the process by paying for an online course covering all aspects they want to master. One of the particularly tremendous ideas for travel lovers who are just starting out their blogging career.

#12 Photo Editing Software

Blogging and editing go hand-in-hand. After all, cameras don’t always do what we want them to do. That’s when editing tools come in handy. There are dozens of editing apps and programs that not every blogger can afford. That kind of gift might just make their day so much better.

Below, we listed some items most travelers usually overlook. Luckily, they’ve got you – someone who pops up with small essentials travelers absolutely must pack for every next trip.
