Have a friend or family member who always seems to be traveling and you have no idea what to buy them? I’ve compiled the perfect 13 gift ideas for those frequent adventurers.
I love shopping but when it comes to shopping for others I tend to stress out. I like knowing if I buy something for someone that one, they’re really going to love it and two, that they’re actually going to use it.
That’s why I love putting these list together, to help others find the perfect gifts that I know will be a hit.
We will go over 13 gifts ideas for frequent travelers that I personally use and or would love to have as a frequent traveler myself.
Whatever gift you decide to go with even if it’s not on the list, I’m 100% sure your person will appreciate it so much. I know I always do.

Gift Ideas For Frequent Travelers
1. LifeStraw Water Bottle
Carrying one of these bottle can add a second line of defense for drinking water while traveling, camping or backpacking. Simply fill from a lake, river, tap or water fountain and filter on the go.
- Filter protects against 99.999999% of bacteria (including E.coli and salmonella) and 99.999% of parasites (including giardia and cryptosporidium)
- Also protects agains 99.999% of microplastics, chlorine, organic chemical matter, silt, sand and cloudiness to improve water taste.
2. Kindle PaperWhite
Always rated high on any travelers must have list is a Kindle Paperwhite. My husband never goes on a trip without his Kindle and if you are looking for thee gift, this is definitely it. It can hold thousands upon thousands of books, a single charge can last up to 10 weeks and is waterproof.
This is on my Christmas List this year.
3. Noise Cancelling Headphones
Noise Cancelling Headphones or Earbuds are an absolute must have for any type of traveler but especially needed for those who travel often. I only recently got the Sony Headphones for our 10 month trip and I can not tell you how happy I was to have bought them before that long trip. They are literally a life savers on flights!
4. Twelve South AirFly Pro
No more cords! Wirelessly transmit audio from in-flight entertainment to AirPods, earbuds or wireless headphones anywhere with no more cords in the way. With a battery life of 16+ hours.
Ordering one now for myself! 🙂
5. Pocketalk Model S Translator
Now this is a really cool gift ideas for frequent travelers. A pocket sized translator. It can translate up 82 languages. Whether they’re traveling through Asia or backpacking through Europe, Pocketalk will be their ultimate travel companion.
6. Apple Air Tags
After our last trip I will never travel without Air Tags. This is one of my top gift recommendations for frequent travelers because sooner or later an airline is bound to lose their luggage or an item might accidentally be left behind. Having an AirTag will help track down their bag, backpack or luggage quickly.
On our trip to Germany our bags were lost and thank goodness I had these tags in my luggage! I was able to locate my bags instantly and because of that my bags were delivered to me in less than 24hours!
These are a great, great gift idea!
7. Go Pro or Insta360 Cam
Go Pros and Insta360 are amazing to have for action and under water shots. Gifting one of these is going to be a a great addition for any traveler but especially those adventure travelers. No trip is complete without capturing memories to look back on and although phones work great for collecting memories these are way more durable and heavy duty, which is needed for certain excursions and adventures.
8. Camera with Bluetooth Remote
Every world traveler needs a camera. Yes iPhones are pretty amazing and I love mine but nothing compares to a mirrorless camera. Mathew and I always bring at least one camera every time time we go off exploring. We never regret bringing our camera but there has been those few times where we left it behind and we were so mad at ourselves for our decision.
Having a wireless remote is a quick fix and also super beneficial for solo travelers or couples who want to be in the shot together. Not and absolute must but does make it much easier to capture photos without having to run into position before the timer goes off.
9. Portable Travel Tripod
Tripods come in handy in so many ways, weather your solo traveling, taking night shots or want to capture a moment with your other half. Peak Design makes an incredible travel tripod that is light just under 3.5lbs and breaks down to a size of a water bottle, plus they are extremely durable. A travel tripod will be a great addition for any traveler who wants to step up their photography shots.
10. Peak Design Camera Clip
I always get asked about how we carry our camera on our backpacks, we use this camera clip. It allows us to be hands free while allowing quick access to our camera when we need it. A great accessory to have especially for backpacking.
11. Security Door Stop
Safety on the go. Especially important for female and solo travelers, this Security Door Stop is an added source of safety and privacy for an Airbnb or vacation rental. It can fit on any hinged door that swings inwards, can be installed in a few seconds and requires no tools for set up.
12. All Things Cozy & Comfort
Every traveler needs these essentials to make any trip tolerable. These come with me on every trip and will be ordering a second set for Mathew because he said he didn’t need it and guess what? On our trip to Germany he ended up stealing most of it. Makes a world of a difference, a travel must!
13. Priority Pass Membership
This has to be one of the best gift ideas for frequent travelers, if you want to give the ultimate gift to any travel lover this would be it. A Priority Pass gives access to over 1300 airport lounges throughput the world. Lounges often include access to free food, alcohol, highly speed wifi and a comfortable space to stretch out and relax. Whoever you decide to get this for is going to be beyond ecstatic.
