Now that it’s December, it’s officially time to start celebrating the most wonderful time of the year!! Although I may or may not have started decking the halls the day after Halloween… but that’s besides the point. With all this Christmas spirit filling the air, you’re probably frantically beginning to piece together the perfect gift lists for the people in your life. I don’t know about you, but every year I find myself scouring gift guides online searching for perfectly personal and unique gifts for those who are… let’s just say not the easiest to shop for. Well if you have someone in your life who loves to catch flights and travel the globe, and you’re not quite sure what to get them- I’ve got you covered!

1: Let’s Roam Scavenger Hunt

I myself have actually received this as a gift before and absolutely LOVED it! If you know someone who has a trip planned in the future, you can send them on a self-guided scavenger hunt through town to learn more about the place they’re visiting! By cashing in the voucher you send them, they can choose whatever type of scavenger hunt appeals to them in whatever place they choose to go to. It’s such a fun way to dive deep into the history of a place you’ve never been and learn fun little tidbits you probably wouldn’t have learned otherwise! They even have in-home scavenger hunts at home available for times like these when our travel plans may be lacking.

2: Passport Cover

Because everyone who loves to travel needs at least one cute passport cover. There are tons of cute options on Etsy, and this one is personalized and comes with a matching luggage tag!

3: Map Mouse Pad

Have this, love it. It’s the perfect simple little addition to your desk- whether you’re working from home or back in the office.

4: Toiletry Bag

This is the perfect way to keep all your toiletries organized and save packing space in your suitcase. Comes in a bunch of different colors and has great reviews!

5: Carry-On Bag

This one is the perfect size for weekend trips or to use as a carry-on and I love that it’s a flexible, durable material and so comfortable. It also comes in a fun camo print with a red stripe, and you can also buy different patterned straps to go with it!

6: Travel Laundry Bag

Sometimes it’s the little things in life- like being able to easily keep your dirty laundry separated out from your clean laundry when you travel. The type A’s in your life will love this.

7: Wireless Earphones

One of the less expensive alternatives and one that I have had for a few months and have been loving. Not having to worry about tangled earphone wires on the plane has been truly life altering.

8: All Things Osprey (But Especially this Duffel)

Osprey is an awesome company that makes extremely durable, quality products for anyone who loves adventure. I gave my fiancé this duffel over a year ago, and he has loved how surprisingly spacious and robust it has been. They make tons of other products from hiking backpacks to travel accessories. And the best part- all of their products have a lifetime warranty.

9: Refillable Travel-Size Perfume Bottle

Somebody gifted me with this years ago, and at first I must admit- I thought it would be one of those things that I never used and eventually tossed out. But I can honestly say I’ve probably gotten more use out of this little gadget than most gifts I’ve ever received. I take it with me on every trip where I have to fly, because it’s the perfect amount of perfume to last you through a trip, it’s compact, and you don’t have to worry about your glass bottle breaking or any spillage. Trust me- it’s the gift that every traveler didn’t know they needed.

10: Atlas Coffee Club

I’ve both given and received this gift- and it was a definite win both ways! Every month you get a new bag of coffee from around the world which comes with a post card that teaches you about the region it’s from. I’ve kept all the postcards so far and plan on putting them in a frame to hang above my coffee station. And every bag of coffee I’ve received has been truly delicious. If the jetsetter in your life is a coffee drinker, this is the perfect gift that keeps on giving!

11: Fanny Pack

Okay hear me out- I know fanny packs aren’t the cutest trend. But when I’m traveling, I hate having to worry about keeping up with my purse. I bought this on a whim to wear across my chest (more as a “belt bag”) and it’s so lightweight I hardly notice it’s there- yet it’s the perfect size to keep the bare essentials close by while I’m on the go. This is especially great when traveling around Europe where you have to watch out for pick-pockets. It’s durable and comes in so many fun colors, I honestly might have to order myself another…

12: Hiking Boots

If someone in your life loves to hike, these have been one of the BEST purchases for me. They are waterproof, durable, and so comfortable. I honestly didn’t have to endure any sort of break in period- they felt like I was walking on clouds the moment I first put them on my feet.

13:  Drying Lotion & Rose Facial Spray Duo

The perfect on-the-go skin refresher and acne fighter. I use these all the time- even when I’m not traveling!

14: Moisture Stick

Sounds random, but I went through my entire stick in just a few months I used it so often. Especially when you’re traveling to dryer climates, this is perfect to stick in your travel bag and have on hand when your lips or under eyes need a moisture refresh. I’ve always had issues with dry lips and this is the only thing that has helped! This would make for a nice little stocking stuffer.

15: Nostalgic Candle

My fav travel blogger, Helene Sula, just launched this line of candles that is PERFECT for anyone who suffers from wanderlust. She is releasing one scent at a time, each connected to a travel memory. I mean how perfect is that? And everyone loves a good candle.

I hope you find this gift list helpful! Merry Christmas and happy holidays!
