13 Amazing Gift Ideas for Travel Lovers!

in Reviews, Travel Style on 12/02/24

If you have a travel lover in your life and you’re looking for the perfect gift, then I’ve got the list for you! As a a full time traveler, I know just what us travel-obsessed girls need and want. 

So today I’m here to help you come up with some ideas if you’re a little bit stumped on what to get your friend or family member who you know will spend their money on travel experiences over things.

Because I know sometimes we need a few things to make the travel experience less stressful and more enjoyable!

13 Amazing Gift Ideas for Travel Lovers!

The Top 13 Gift Ideas for Travel Lovers: (in my opinion)

So let’s dive into my top 13 recommendations on what to get the girl (or sometimes guy) in your life who is always planning their next adventure! ✈️

1. Leather Passport Holder

The perfect gift for the traveler in your life, because it both protects their passport and it looks sleek and stylish. I use mine every time I travel internationally and personally love that mine can organize all my important documents and identification in one place. This is perfect for couples!

This brand is owned by fellow traveler bloggers and you know how I always like to support small businesses, even on Amazon!

2. A Set Of Compressible Packing Cubes

I don’t want to go back to life before I had packing cubes! It is the only way I pack now, and they are so great for keeping the inside of your suitcase organized and compact. I like to think of them as like having tiny dressers inside my suitcase. No more digging for that one skirt or favorite t-shirt. Everything has its place when you use packing cubes.

I’ve traveled with ​these compressible packing cubes​ since we left to travel the world full time in September 2021. I used to travel with a giant suitcase filled with things I never wore, so I initially had like 12 different packing cubes 😂

But now I have 6: (I’m 90% sure this is true for all of our trips)

  • One for my tops
  • One for my pants/skirts/dresses
  • One for my workout clothes
  • One for my underwear
  • One that goes inside my backpack holding my emergency clothes
  • One for miscellaneous items (pjs, bathing suit, face towel, etc.)

I recommend this brand (linked here). I know for sure that any avid traveler (especially the ladies) would agree that packing cubes are amazing. 

3- Travel Jewelry Case

Next, I definitely recommend this for anyone traveling with accessories! Whether is for an occasional weekend getaway taker or the friend backpacking abroad in Europe for months at a time. Jewelry is something you can easily lose, and something you want protected, so a good travel case for your jewelry just makes sense! 

I highly recommend this one (linked here). It’s the one I’ve been traveling with since day 1 and it was a gift from my best friend. So I know for a fact this is one of those things a traveler doesn’t really buy for themselves, but appreciates it if someone gives it to them!

➡️ I always say this: accessories are one of the best ways to elevate any travel outfit without taking too much space out of your carry-on. That’s why I like to pack all my statement earrings and necklaces inside this jewelry case.

4- Priority Pass Annual Pass

Trust me when I say the traveler in your life will LOVE you for this one! ⭐️

Priority Pass gives you access to exclusive lounges at over 600 airports worldwide where you can dine, relax, and enjoy exclusive perks like free drinks and Wifi while you wait to board your flight.

They have different pricing tiers for their annual membership based on how often you travel, so definitely check out their membership page to see all the different options.

5- Apple Air Tag

If you’re looking for a practical and more affordable travel gift, an Apple AirTag is perfect! It will help them keep track of their belongings and give them peace of mind if they’re someone who checks their bags.

Whether it’s attached to their suitcase, backpack, or even a set of keys, this small but mighty device ensures they can locate their essentials quickly, even in the chaos of airports or while exploring new destinations.

6- A New Suitcase

If you’ve noticed their luggage is looking a little rough recently, then a new suitcase is going to be a huge hit! I am a die hard fan of this gorgeous 20′ carry-on and it definitely makes the perfect gift for someone who takes travel seriously. 

These bags are high quality, durable and gorgeous. I always get compliments! And no, I’m not one of those travelers who has a new suitcase for each trip. I got this one last year, have taken it to many many trips and it’s still going strong.

🧳 Use code WAYSOFTHEWORLD for 10% off Level8 suitcases!

7- Stylish Refillable Containers

I love this gift idea because it’s affordable and super useful. This is coming from someone who literally lives out of a carry-on bag!

Perfect for those who are particular about their skin care or hair products so they can turn anything into travel sized! And it doesn’t hurt that they’re super cute!

8- A Cute Crossbody Bag

This is one of my favorite gift ideas for travel lovers!

And I’m recommending it because it’s a versatile gift that they can also use outside of traveling. A good crossbody bag is definitely a key accessory for any traveler! Always having your things attached to your body protects your items, keeps your hands free, and of course you can do it all in style. 

Check out my crossbody bag that I love to travel with here. It’s durable, sustainable and of course stylish! (plus it basically matches with everything in my suitcase!)

9- A Gorgeous Yet Functional Backpack

🎒 Any traveler will love a good backpack! These are a must for travel days and also for everyday use.

You definitely want to pick one that marries style with functionality when it comes to a travel backpack though. You have to consider their personal taste, and what type of traveler they are, but this one is my personal favorite.

We’ve had that same brand since we left to travel full time. It’s an older version, but I think the quality is still the same. Check them out here.

10- A Travel Journal

A travel journal is a meaningful gift for travel lovers, offering them a special place to document their adventures, memories, and reflections. It’s perfect for capturing the little details that make each trip unique—whether it’s a favorite meal, a stunning sunset, or a new friend met along the way.

Beyond preserving memories, a travel journal encourages mindfulness and creativity, turning every journey into a personal story they’ll cherish for years to come ♥️

11- A Pre-Booked Experience with Viator

Now this is a gift I would personally love to receive as someone who travels often! This is such a thoughtful way to add value to a trip you know they are already booked for ♥️

Viator is an awesome way to book a fun tour, sightseeing adventure, cooking class or museum visit… the possibilities are endless! 

Plus they have so many unique experiences in popular destinations across the globe! Check out their site here.

12- A Trusty Kindle

Something I know I cannot travel without is my Kindle!

This is an ideal gift for travel lovers because it lets them enjoy their favorite books without the added weight of carrying multiple paperbacks. Its compact design makes it easy to slip into any bag, saving space for other travel essentials.

Whether on a long flight, a train ride, or a quiet evening at their hotel, a Kindle offers the perfect way to unwind and escape into a good story, making every trip even more enjoyable.

And they’ll think of you every time they’re reading! 🥰

13- A Pashmina

Lastly, a nice pashmina is one of the most underestimated gift ideas for a travel lover! In my humble opinion, this is a must have!

It’s the perfect thing that I can easily throw on that both looks chic and can keep me warm or covered when needed.

I love that it’s something that you can wear different ways, and it will go with a wide variety of outfits (as a minimalist packer I appreciate this). It’s great when entering religious sites, or when you simply need an extra layer!

Here is the one I travel with! I have it in 2 different colors. They’ve lasted me for over 10 years! 😳


There you have it… The best gift ideas for travel lovers! 👏🏼

I hope this gift guide helped you come up with some great ideas on what to gift to the traveler in your life! These are products I travel with all the time. I know someone who is often catching flights and living for their next adventure will absolutely use and appreciate these gifts.

Let me know in the comments below if you loved any of these travel gift ideas, or other gifts you have received or given that aren’t on the list.

I’d love to hear from you! ♥️

About the author:

Hi, my name is Aimara and I am the voice behind Ways of Style. I was born and raised in Venezuela until the age of 27 when I moved to Chicago, and 2 years later I met my best friend and husband. We now travel full time and live out of a carry-on bag, so believe me, I know a thing or two about how to maximize every single piece I own. 

I love creating new looks, and looking cute while I’m traveling. And in this blog, I try to share all my looks, even if I don’t have the best photos ;) My goal is to help you maximize every piece you have in your closet and to encourage you to live with less things.

What a crazy feeling when you start loving somethi What a crazy feeling when you start loving something you once thought was scary. It really makes you realize that fear is not real and exists only in your mind.

Never stop pursuing what sets your heart on fire. Even if it’s scary. And if you don’t know what that is yet, I encourage you to make the time to find out 💙

PS: this photo was taken on a scuba dive trip while in Cozumel a couple of weeks ago. If you ever find yourself there, do yourself a favor and do it with @scubatonycozumel 🤿 You will not regret it!

We are currently slow traveling through the Yucatan peninsula. We are having the time of our lives and documenting it all on @waysoftheworld_ 🌎 See you there? 🙃

Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different Yesterday we had a full day of exploring different places and I needed different outfits but I didn’t have space to bring a whole new look. That’s when button down shirts + sneakers come handy! 

In the morning we went to the beach to snorkel and in the afternoon we explored Mayan ruins and had drinks and dinner. I needed sun protection and sneakers because they don’t recommend to walk the ruins in sandals (uneven terrain). I was able to change the wet bathing suit at the beach restaurant and didn’! get sunburn! Win win!!

PS: you can now shop all my looks via the @shop.ltk app ☺️ or via stories!

Back home after spending the best 3 months of my l Back home after spending the best 3 months of my life in Turkey 🇹🇷❤️

We definitely left a piece of our hearts there, but we also learned so much and we know we will be back many times! And it feels good to be with family this time of the year.

I know I didn’t do a good job at posting in here. Honestly, I thought it was going to be easier, but starting a new Instagram, blog and YouTube channel from scratch for @waysoftheworld_ took a lot more time than I ever thought it would! So now, I’ll try to share some of my favorite photos from this trip in here because it’s never too late 🙃

This one was taken in a small mediterranean town called Kas. It was one of our favorite places in all of Turkey! It’s the perfect vacation spot to just enjoy life 💕

Feels good to be back! Hope everyone has a great week ahead and thanks so much for being here!!

Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by h Turkey has been incredible. We are blown away by how beautiful it is, all the different landscapes, the food, and above everything, the people ❤️

Looking back to a few weeks ago when I was really afraid of going on this trip, thinking about all the things that could go wrong, being a little upset with myself in a way for not wanting the traditional life path I always thought was my only choice; get married, buy a house, have kids, save money and travel when you retire. That’s not for me. 

I’m very happy I followed my heart 💕 I wrote a letter to myself on the blog: “What’s the best that can happen if the worst happens?” You can check it out by clicking the link in my bio. I hope it inspires you to think about what YOU really want in your heart, make a plan and go after it (but be patient). I promise that if I did it, so can you.

You have everything it takes ❤️

I basically only wear olive green and white now 😂 

Our days in beautiful Kas are almost over. I’m leaving a piece of my heart in this cute little town and we will definitely be back! Now it’s time to hop on a 6 hour bus to Pamukkale and see what that place is all about! 

Honestly, the only reason we are going there is because of me. G is not too crazy about it, but I’ve seen it on Instagram so much that I wanted to see for myself what the buzz was all about. So I’ll keep you posted on what it actually is!

If you are interested in knowing more about Kas (and all the amazing places we are visiting) we share a lot more on @waysoftheworld_ 💞 
We talk about useful tips, costs, best things we do, where we stay and so much more. I also update those stories daily! So I hope to see you there 🙃

Until next time friends 👋🏻

I was brave 💙 This was the most amazing experi I was brave 💙

This was the most amazing experience. I was SO nervous and anxious before but somehow I managed to push through and tried this very scary thing for the first time. And you know what I learned? That I loved it! I would do it again a million times! It wasn’t scary at all. It was all in my head and it wasn’t real. Also, they had the sweetest dog at the shop named Lucy that really help me not to think about it (swipe to see her 😍)

We didn’t do any crazy tricks like G did and it was a very peaceful flight. It’s up to you how you want to do it.

I can see why Ölüdeniz is one of the top places in the world to go paragliding. If you only want to do it once to cross it off your bucket list, this is the place you go to. We shared a post about with useful information in case you are interested. Link in bio + stories.

Would you do it? 🙃
