10 Christmas Gift Ideas for the person who loves to Travel

I was mentally preparing my Christmas wishlist and realized that all of the items I wanted this Christmas are travel related. If you have a friend like me, and you're stumped for ideas on what to give, then check out the list below of 10 Random Travel Related Gift Ideas


1) Travel Inspired Wall Clocks

If my wall clock looked anything like these eye candy, pinterest-worthy metal clocks from ACTEC, I would never ever be late. Don't be fooled by the photos. They are actually really really big!





 2) Travel Posters

You can never go wrong with this one. You can DIY it by making an actual painting or printing out something inspiring from the internet and then buy a frame from the department store. Or you can buy these readily made ones. I saw a couple of nice ones in Papemelroti just yesterday and am still contemplating what to get for my room friends.

3) Maps

I bought a scratch globe from Quirks a couple of months ago. But this scratch map is also a really nice alternative and it comes in this nice poster tube.

Papemelroti also has a nice fiberboard map and you can use pins to map out and mark the places you've been to. 




4) Quirky Bagtags

Gone are the days when our Titas and Moms would wrap our luggage in huge masking or packaging tapes and label them with our names and addresses to avoid luggage mix-ups. I've been using a couple of bagtags and these ones from Flight 001 are on my wishlist. 


5) Travel Containers
I get a little OC sometimes when I pack and I've been using a couple of items (pouches and cases) that my friends got me from KIT (Keeping It Together). If your friend/loved one is a little OC when travelling, they will love this.

6) Books
Self explanatory. Preferably small and light ones and something from their favorite author or a genre that they love. 

7) A Travel Adapter
I know it might look like you ran out of time to look for a gift. But if they don't already have one - this is a lifesaver and they will love it. If you're uncomfortable giving a travel adapter as a gift, just add a small piece of chocolate and make it a gift bundle. No one will complain. Trust me.
I saw this cute charger from Flight001 which is color coded. You just have to go to this website and check which country you're going to and based on the color, it'll tell you which one to use. So useful.

8) Aquazorb Towels
My favorite towel to bring when I travel because it's lightweight and it dries easily. I just passed by Aquazorb's stall in Rockwell last week and they now have slippers. I really really want one! 





9) Lagu
Lagu is a beach-friendly blanket which repels sand and dries quickly. Not only does it make it easier for you to clean it up but you also help save the sand and the beach because the sand stays put on the shore instead of clinging to your towels. Get this for the beach bums and the surfers in your life.




10) Neck Pillow

Self explanatory. I got a beanie neck pillow from SM a few years back and it was the most comfortable travel pillow I have ever had. 

Hope this list helps you pick out a gift for your loved ones this holiday season. :)
