Discover fun gift ideas for women who love to travel or just like dreaming about it!
Let’s face it: There’s nothing better than going on an amazing vacation. So, if you really want to wow someone who loves to travel, booking a trip is the best way to do it. Your next best option? These pretty, practical and fun gift ideas for women will spark joy and speak to the heart of anyone who loves to travel:
1. The Most Amazing Carryall: JuJuBe BFF
Originally designed as a diaper bag, this hardworking carryall is great for travel, too. It has multiple pockets and compartments to keep things organized and two insulated side pockets to chill drinks and snacks. The straps are padded with memory foam and adjust so you can carry it as a backpack, tote or messenger bag when exploring cities or zipping through the airport. Plus, it comes in fun, but neutral patterns and is machine washable.
2. Candle That Brings Back Memories: Homesick Scented Candle
These soy wax candles are designed to trigger memories of a country or a favorite U.S. state or city. Is she yearning to go back to France? Bummed she missed the Olympics in Brazil? Would love to relive that epic Utah road trip? There’s a candle for that.
3. Easy Way to Spot a Suitcase: Rifle Paper Co. Luggage Tag
A black rolling suitcase hides dirt and scuffs and is easy to push through airports and train terminals. And everyone has one, which makes it hard to spot on baggage-claim carousels. But not if she has a bright and cheery luggage tag like these ones.
4. A Bohemian Blanket: Urban Outfitters Aden Tufted Throw Blanket
Even if she hasn’t trekked across Nepal, she’ll dig this textured cotton throw that comes in earthy colors. It adds a subtle touch of been-around-the-world coziness to a room.
5. A Decorative Globe: Kayla Nord HAND-PAINTED Globe
A modern, girly take on the classic globe, this petite version painted by artist Kayla Nord will look perfect on her shelf. Choose your own colors with her custom hand-painted option.
6. Shoes to Walk in for Miles: Sketchers
Travel plans? Check. Boarding pass? Yep. Comfy shoes? Most definitely. There’s nothing that can ruin a vacation faster than sore, blistered feet. I’ve walked for more than 8 hours a day in Rome and Florence, Tokyo and Kyoto in a pair of Mary-Jane Sketchers. No doubt, she’ll appreciate these shoes that have memory foam, arch support, and styles that work well with both pants and dresses.
7. An Inspiring Book: The Bucket List: 1,000 Adventures Big and Small
Nothing makes a travel junkie start checking flight prices and counting vacation days faster than reading about awesome adventures. This book is basically crack for travel enthusiasts.
8. The Best Way to Avoid Pickpocketing: A Travel Neck Wallet
No matter where she travels, it’s a good idea to keep valuables (money, ID/passport, keys, hotel keycards) close to the chest, literally. When I travel abroad, I always use a neck wallet like this and tuck it under my shirt. That way, I’m not advertising, “Hey, here’s my wallet and passport!” but can conveniently pull it out when I need to. Sexy? No. Thoughtful? Yes.
9. Gifts From Around the World: GlobeIn Artisan Box
GlobeIn finds pretty things made by artisans around the world and then pulls a collection together for each themed box. For example, their Cozy Box has a woven scarf from Thailand, a hand-painted mug from Morocco and cocoa powder from Ghana. You can gift one basket or purchase a monthly subscription.
10. Pretty and Practical Suitcase: CALPAK Luca Metallic Spinner Suitcase
This standout suitcase looks luxe and has enough zippered compartments to keep everything organized. (The outside side pocket is ideal for stashing a phone!) Plus, it comes with a TSA accepted combination lock to make sure no one is going through her stuff and it glides in every direction like a dream.
11. Silky Kimono Robe: Helena Quinn Silk Robe
Kimonos: Not just for getting ready or lounging around like a modern-day geisha anymore. Pair this stunner with dark sunglasses – and voila! – it’s a glamorous swim cover-up. Wear it with tank, skinny jeans and killer heels for a night out on the town. It has so many uses but takes up barely any suitcase space.
12. Tote Bag Organizer: CUYANA Tote Bag Insert
Ever find yourself desperately rooting around in your black hole of a tote bag to find your keys or phone? Same. But this structured, microsuede organizer has enough pocket space to tuck away her laptop, magazines and makeup bag. The side pockets are perfect for a water bottle and sunglasses, too. And those keys? Attach them to the insert’s clip. Problem solved.
13. Frame a Favorite Picture: Project 62 Brass Metal Frame
This goes-with-everything matted frame is perfect for showing off a great vacation shot or framing something that speaks to her – from a favorite national park poster, to a watercolor map to an inspiring quote.
14. A Stylish Way to Stay Warm: Chic+ Prairie Check Wrap Coat
Will a hoodie keep her warm? Yep, but no zip-up looks as pulled together as this belted, wool-blend coat with pockets. It’s warm and comfy and looks good whether she’s heading to an NYC Broadway show or sipping a hot toddy in Dublin.
15. International Treats: Try the World Box
One of the most fun things about travel is getting to sample new foods. Try the World sends boxes with ingredients, drinks and snacks from a different country each month. You can gift one box or a multi-month subscription.
I’m so excited for whoever you’re going to give one of these gifts to! As a travel lover, I know I’d appreciate every single one of these fun presents.
