The Best Christmas Travel Gift Guide

With Christmas fast approaching, it was imperative that I put together a Christmas gift guide for the holidays. This blog post will share the perfect gift for travel lovers. I currently have a must have travel items post if you’d like to read that as well here. All of these items can be purchased in one place, Amazon! (aside from the bonus gifts at the end). Without further ado, let’s get into it!

Christmas Tree and Christmas Gifts

Travel Gifts For Women

As you all know, I love to travel and I am always thinking of new items to try to make our trips even more seamless. Check out this list below of amazing travel products for your next trip.

1) Hanging Travel Toiletry Bag

Similar to the toiletry bag I listed below for men, this bag is a life saver for the avid traveler. You’ll love this bag because it’s large enough to fit all of your essentials (i.e.; shampoo, shaving cream, toothbrush, toothpaste etc.), and the best part? You can hang it up. It’s a perfect gift for your friend, wife, or girlfriend.

2) Travel Pillow

Does your loved one like comfort when she travels? I do! Let’s be honest, those seats on the plane are far from comfortable but at least your head and neck will be with this luxury travel pillow. This pillow also comes with an eye mask, and ear plugs for the ultimate plane napper.

3) Heys Luggage

The perfect Christmas gift for your friend, wife, or girlfriend would be a durable (and stylish) luggage set. I’ve talked about Heys luggage before because I love it so much. It has a built in TSA lock, and glides smoothly while walking down the aisle. A luggage set is a great investment, and will surely impress her this holiday season.

4) YETI Rambler

I am a big tea drinker, so I almost always have some sort of tea/coffee mug with me. I would highly recommend getting a travel jug/rambler which either keeps your drinks hot or cold.

5) KN95 Face Mask

I’m sure you’re all aware of what is going on and you’d want to keep your significant other (or yourself) safe if you decide or need to travel. That is why I decided to put a face mask on this list, the best part is you can also buy a matching one for yourself!

Travel Gifts For Men

Now I don’t know about you, but buying gifts for men can be very daunting! So I decided to give you five options on this section of gift guides for men. These gift ideas are perfect for your dad, or some other special man in your life.

1) Vetelli Leather Toiletry Bag

Who says men can’t carry bags? Men need to store their items too so why not make it fashionable? First up on the list is the Vetelli Toiletry Bag. This bag will hold all of his toiletries (i.e.; Shaving cream, razors. mouthwash etc.).

2) Bagsmart Cable Organizer

Is your loved one a tech junkie? If so, then he’ll love this next gift. This gift will store all of his cables, hard drives, and USB cords.  It is perfect for on the go travel since it’s compact and fits right in your suitcase.

3) Travel Laptop Backpack

If your friend, boyfriend, or husband is a techie, then you’ll definitely want to make sure he has something to carry his laptop in. This travel laptop backpack not only has many compartments which can fit other items (i.e.; water, shoes, etc.)., but it also has a fixed lock, plus built in headphone and USB ports.

Did you sign up yet? I know you want to! 🙂

4) Camera Lens Coffee Mug

I’m not a big fan of coffee, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a cup here or there. This aesthetically pleasing coffee mug is the perfect travel gift for your loved one especially since it can also store cool beverages.

5) Rockland Fashion Luggage

Does your spouse travel a lot for work? I know I can relate. That is why he’ll need a durable luggage set. This carry-on and tote bag set can be brought onto the plane, so he can get to you sooner without having to wait at the baggage claim.

Other

I know this is primarily a travel gift guide, but as a blogger, you may know someone who could benefit from a trip, web hosting, or email marketing gift. Also, I wanted to make sure I included gifts that just don’t fit into the categories above in this section.

1) Book A Trip/Experience

I’ve prepared you for what to take with you on the trip, but now you need to actually BOOK the trip, click below to choose a destination or experience of your choice.

2) ConvertKit Free Trial

What’s better than a deal? Having to spend nothing! Gift a free ConvertKit Trial subscription for a loved one looking to start a side hustle or an email list for their blog. I personally use ConvertKit and talk about why I love it here.

3) The Best Web Hosting

If you are thinking about starting a blog, you’ll most definitely need a host for your site. I personally recommend Bluehost to help get your spouses or friends website up and running for a very affordable price.

4) Travel Laundry Detergent

This is a great product for everyone in case you need to wash your clothes while on vacation, it’s compact and fits easily into your suitcase or carry-on.

5) Mini First Aid Kit

I can’t stress how important it is to carry a first aid kit when you travel or in general because things can and do happen. This mini first aid kit has all of the must haves and is easy to carry since it’s so small.

Choosing a Travel Location

Blog 1.1. Choosing a Travel Location

Traveling Within the U.S.

Choosing a travel location can be difficult. So you’re probably wondering, how do I go about choosing the locations I travel to? Well for me, that is probably the most fun aspect about traveling. In regards to how I chose the locations I decided to work in, it was rather simple; could I see myself possibly living and settling down in this location? If the answer was yes, then I applied for licensure, if it was no, well, you get it.

Just an FYI, another perk about traveling, is the possibility that I may be able to travel to a country close by. An example of this is when I was still a student in Buffalo, NY. Canada is within driving distance to Buffalo, so I decided to take a weekend trip with friends and family to explore Toronto. For pictures from some of my travels, click the link here.

Traveling Abroad

Now choosing a location to travel to abroad is often a harder decision. Why? Because there are so many places I’d love to see! So to help narrow the endless list of countries/continents I’d like to explore; I look at cost (e.g.; are there any good deals, is it cheaper to travel a certain time of year etc.), is the country safe, which activities do I want to try while I’m there (e.g.; shopping, guided tours, visit family), what climate am I seeking, what am I hoping to learn while visiting vs. what I already know?

Most importantly, I think about how to maximize my experience in that particular country doing things that I personally enjoy and trying to experience things that I cannot do in the US. Where do you think I should head next for work and fun? Feel free to leave a comment below, and subscribe here.
