Struggling to find the perfect Christmas gift for someone who loves to travel? Stop worrying because Elizabeth has put together a list of great travel-themed Christmas gifts that everyone will love there is no. There are some gifts on this list that I already have, like a personalized leather camera strap and a giant world map mural, both of which I love. I also love getting vouchers for experiences because it gives me the freedom to do whatever I want anywhere in the world.
Enjoy your Christmas shopping! If you have any other things you would like to add to your Christmas gift wishlist, please add them in the comments below!
It’s the season to give you and me lots of nice things…I’m giddy with excitement to start Christmas shopping. That’s because I operate on “one for you, one for me”…what? I did my best this year too. You’ll also need a snack.
The best part about creating a gift guide is that you can choose everything you want to receive this Christmas. It’s basically window shopping for yourself. I create travel-themed gift guides and I’m a huge travel fan, so if Santa Claus put these under the tree I’d be a very happy little girl.
If you know someone who is equally passionate about travel, here are some Christmas gift ideas.
The Travel Hack’s Christmas Gift Guide
Experience in a Box from Tinggly
The perfect gift for someone who prefers experiences over things. The best part about this experience offered by Tinggly is that you are essentially purchasing a voucher that allows you to choose from over 500 of his experiences from all over the world, and it is up to the recipient to choose which one. Additionally, he has 24 months to decide what, when and how to use it.
Giant World Map Mural
If you’re planning on covering an entire wall with a giant map mural, you’re probably a homeowner. This is an epic cartography dream. I already spend much of my free time staring wistfully at maps, dreaming of where I’ll go next. This way, you can work without straining your eyes while sitting on the couch!

Star Map
_@Under Lucky Stars
For beautiful personalized Christmas gifts, check out the star map at Under Lucky Stars. These custom star maps show the unique alignment of the stars at special moments in your life. Maybe it’s the moment you proposed to your wife, the moment your child was born, or a wonderful moment while traveling. The star arrangement is printed on thick matte paper and can be framed, so it’s ready to hang on your wall!
Personalised Travel Map Board
A customized personalized world map pinboard with your name is perfect for tracking your adventures with colorful pins. You can also add photos from each trip and create a world map of your travel memories over time.
World Map Printed Flask
What says more about a travel enthusiast than a whimsical flask emblazoned with a world map? This is definitely for cartography enthusiasts and people who need a good old fashioned drink for their outings and picnics.
Inflatable Flamingo
This trend isn’t going anywhere! Jump on the bandwagon for your next holiday, in this case riding a giant rose gold flamingo and lounging by the pool in kitschy style. It’s a flamingo, it’s rose gold, it’s inflatable.. really, what’s not to love?!
Note from Monica: Last summer I bought a cheap flamingo inflatable from Primark, but gave up after only 2 or 3 dips in the pool. Ask for what you want and get something nice!
Dusty Pink Wireless Headphones
Headphone technology is going wireless, so you might opt for a design-driven style by Danish designer Kreafunk and opt for these adorable dusty pink headphones. It also has a built-in microphone, so you can listen to your favorite songs and answer calls while on the go.
Personalised Explorer Travel Journal
For a very special gift option, you can also personalize this travelogue at the time of purchase. This journal is divided into continental sections and is useful not only for planning your trip but also as a keepsake for the future.
Mini GHD Straighteners
It’s both practical and fun. Who wants frizzy hair in the tropics? And who wants to carry around a heavy straightener? not me! We’re hoping Santa brings us a nice new mini-GHD this year.
Personalised Leather Camera Strap
Because standard camera straps right out of the box are super boring, and who doesn’t like something with their name on it?!
Longchamp Le Pliage Shopper Bag
Almost every travel blogger I meet on press trips has these, so of course I need them too yes. Plus, it’s a pretty iconic bag and
Happy shopping! And Merry Christmas!
