Travel Gifts That Travel Well

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


This month is going to be over before you know it. This year Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa are all in the same week, but maybe you haven’t even started shopping yet…or you have and aren’t done. If you still can’t figure out what to get for that traveler on your list, or you just got paid, so haven’t been able to shop until now, I have some great last-minute ideas for you. They’re also perfect if you’re traveling to visit people and need to save room in your carry-on.
If you still can't figure out what to get for that traveler on your list, here are some great gifts that also travel well for light packers.

Airline miles

If you know what your recipient’s favorite airline is, you can gift them miles to let them fly for free or more cheaply on their next trip. Right now, lots of airlines have deals going, like Alaska, who right now has 40-50% bonus miles on purchases, depending on the number of miles you buy. 

Southwest Airlines just has a straight-up buy or gift page, no special deals at the moment, but I know a lot of budget travelers who strictly fly them, so your money may go further. 

Language classes

Right now, you can give Babbel as a gift to someone at up to 60% off. They have online classes, tutorials, an app, and more, all included in a monthly subscription. Get a 6- or 12-month subscription for 50% off, or a lifetime subscription for 60% off. A lifetime, guys! They can learn 14 different languages, and if more are added in the future, they can learn those, too! We just booked a trip to Paris for September, so I might even get this for myself!

Go City attractions pass

Get them the gift of sightseeing and attractions for their next or favorite city with Go City. I’ve used their passes many times and they save so much money, but they also make amazing and thoughtful gifts. They can see and do more for your dollars than if activities were purchased separately. In fact, many times you can save up to 40% off by rolling it all into this one pass. Choose from 29 cities worldwide or get them a gift of London PassParis Pass, or Dublin Pass. They may even get special discounts for other things in the city, like transportation and restaurants. I love it and so will they!

Staycation box

Gift the traveler in your life a subscription box to Try the World. They’ll get a box full of gourmet foods, drinks and snacks from a country and learn all about the flavors of the destination. Each box also features recipe cards and stories, plus the products inside are all curated specially from small, family-owned companies who use traditional methods to give you (or your giftee) an authentic experience. 

Right now, you can get 20% off your order. As always, the more you purchase up front, the cheaper each box will end up being. Choose from 1-month, 3-month, 6-month or 12-month subscriptions. This deal is only for the food box, but if you’re looking for a more frugal option, snack boxes are also available.

Experiences

I’m a big fan of experiences over stuff. It creates lasting memories and you can include everyone in them if you want. We’ve purchased experiences for our entire family to participate in before and it was a big hit. Check out daily deal sites like GrouponGoldstar, and Living Social for things you can do or gift to others. I am also a big fan of city scavenger hunts. Check out Urban Adventure Quest for deals on small groups, couples, and big groups. You play on your phone, so it’s super easy to follow along while you’re out there!

Travel reminders
Remind them of their favorite trips or all their trips with the Vagabond Life wanderlust jewelry. Chose from upscale looking pendants and bracelets, keychains, and even engraved rings to add to your choice of jewelry. I think these are super fun and a great way to start a “collection” for a loved one.

I hope this helps with your last-minute gift scramble. You can probably still get many things on my regular gift list in time for the holidays from Amazon. 

Do you have a favorite gift to buy for travelers or one that you loved receiving?
