Super handy travel gifts
First things first, we’ve thought of a couple of genuinely handy travel themed gifts which they’re bound to appreciate.
AirTags
Gone are the days of lost luggage, AirTags are the ideal gift for someone who’s always jetting off. Before leaving for the airport, they can simply pop an AirTag in the bottom of their bag for that all-important piece of mind!
Packing cubes
We don’t mean to be dramatic, but packing cubes are a little bit life-changing. The perfect gift for someone who travels a lot, they allow you to keep your items super organised at all times!
Whether they’re into walking holidays, beach getaways, or month-long backpacking trips, packing cubes are the ideal gift for travel lovers of all kinds.
Gifts ideal for long-haul travellers
Next, we’ve come up with a couple of gifts for holiday lovers who are always jetting off on long-haul trips!
A neck pillow and eye mask duo
There’s nothing worse than getting on a long-haul flight and realising you’ve left your neck pillow and eye mask at home. So, why not purchase some luxurious upgrades for your travel-obsessed loved one?
This gift is bound to make them the most stylish on the plane, even when they’re snoozing.
A personalised passport cover
When it comes to holiday gift ideas, a personalised passport cover is a wonderfully thoughtful option!
They are ideal for protecting your passport and making sure it’s easily identifiable in your hand luggage (both of which are key for long layovers and connecting flights).
Gifts ideal for capturing travel memories
Wondering what to buy for someone going travelling? Well, a gift which allows them to capture treasured memories is a fantastic idea!
A camera
Whether it’s a digital, polaroid, or film camera, there really is no better gift for a travel lover.
From early morning hikes to lazy beach days and evenings spent sampling local cuisine, they’ll be able to capture it all with this thoughtful gift. And, in ten years’ time, they’ll have a wonderful collection of memories to look back on.
Journal
An ideal gift for someone who’s jetting off on a longer trip, they’ll be able to record their ramblings and travel musings, as well as set budgets and come up with itineraries.
Just like the above, this is a gift they’ll undoubtedly treasure when it’s time to look back on their adventures in years to come.
Thoughtful gift ideas
Next, let’s delve into a couple of super thoughtful travel-related gifts, ideal for holiday lovers of all kinds.
A travel memento
How about gifting your loved one a memento from one of their favourite trips? For instance, if they’ve recently returned from a trip to Rome, a framed print of the Colosseum might impress them!
Or, if they’re always flitting off, how about a puzzle which allows them to gradually piece together a scene from their favourite place?
A good book
If you’re looking for holiday gift ideas, you can’t go wrong with a good book. If they’re lazing by a sun-splashed pool, cosied up in their staycation cottage, or travelling the breadth of Asia, a book is an ideal companion for any traveller.
Whether it’s a travel-themed classic or a recent bestseller, in our eyes, a book is one of the best travel presents. And if they don’t currently have a trip planned, get them a book set in a far-flung place to temporarily satisfy their wanderlust.
Hopefully you’re feeling super inspired by our ideas about what to gift the jetsetter in your life. But if you’re looking for more, we’ve got plenty of travel-themed guides over on the thortful blog.
For instance, why not check out our guides on the best hen do destinations or the best stag do destinations?

We’ve also got a guide on the best UK staycations if you’re looking for a little inspiration.
