General Travel ideas for all

Voice translator

Have you ever been to a foreign country where language came as a barrier for you? Well, worry not, just like everything else, traveling has changed a lot over the last couple of decades and new technologies are discovered every day to make traveling easier.  Voice translator is one of those discoveries; not only does it make your communication with locals easier but it also is really convenient as it runs without internet connection and has a decent  95% accuracy.

Electric luggage hanging scale

This is one of the most important gadgets if you are a frequent traveler or someone who likes traveling over-the-top. We all know how much airlines (especially low-cost carriers) charge us when the luggage exceeds the weight limit.  The best way to avoid these situations and know the precise weight of your luggage is to have a scale that is specifically designed to measure the weight of luggage.

Whiskey flask with a cigarette case

When it comes to gifts for frequent travelers, this is an ideal choice for people who are always on the run but love their whiskey and cigarettes. This stainless steel flask is specially designed to take care of two of our favorite items while taking less place in one’s bag. It can pack six normal-size cigarettes and is super-lightweight.

Refillable notebook (travelers Journal)

Whether you like to sketch, compose music or write down your travel notes, having a travel journal to keep our thoughts and work in one place is always great. These types of journals come in many different sizes and forms and they’re great gifts for writers and frequent travelers because, with these notebooks, you’ll have the luxury to start over time after time, even when you run out of pages.

Portable waterproof solar charger

Did your phone ever die on you just when you were about to click a picture of the most stunning landscape you ever saw? If the answer is yes, you know how frustrating that might feel. As time passes by, the lifespan of our phones’ batteries decreases and the best way to make sure your phone always has enough power is getting a portable solar charger. It’s eco-friendly, it’s portable, and it can work anywhere.

Portable pour coffee maker

Do you know someone who travels a lot but cannot live without coffee? Then getting a portable pour coffee maker for them will be a live saver. There are many perks of getting a portable coffee maker. You can always make your own coffee wherever you are, you can save money because it’s always cheaper to make your own, and it’s so tiny that it can fit in your backpack/carry-on bag.
 

Electronic travel cable organizer

If you’re a frequent traveler, you know the struggle of trying to untangle the clutter of cables that power your gadgets after a trip. Whether it’s a short or a longer trip, we all travel with at least a few electronic gadgets and oftentimes they form unsolvable tangles.  The best way to avoid the mess and the hustle is to get a bag which was designed specifically to help you organize your cables when traveling.

Travel Wi-Fi device

Whether you travel for leisure or for work, we all can agree that the internet has become a very important part of our lives. Struggling to connect to the internet in a foreign land sure can be a daunting experience. If you’re a frequent traveler, you know how this feels. And if you’re looking for some great gifts for frequent travelers, a travel Wi-Fi device is one of the best gifts you can buy.

Unisex travel toiletry

Since the beginning of our travel journey, we had tons of tests and trials with different travel toiletries. Some didn’t meet our expectations, some didn’t deliver what they promised and some were just way too over the board for us to refer it to anyone else. Choosing a toiletry for someone else sure can be difficult but if you’re buying it for a frequent traveler, who can give you better advice than a frequent traveler? From my personal experience, this is the best travel toiletry I ever came across.

Magnetic floating globe

This is an excellent souvenir for friends and family, and can also be an excellent home décor. The globe rotates on a magnetic plate, which resembles how the real earth rotates in the orbit. The globe levitates even if the base is turned on its side or upside down.

Tinggly

If none of these appeals you, Tinggly has the largest selection of unique Christmas gift ideas for travelers. Their Christmas’ collection includes close to 600 amazing adventures, romantic getaway escapes, foodie experiences, and unique, cultural activities from all around the world. If you don’t have an idea what to buy as a gift for a frequent traveler, this can be a great surprise.

Ideal for camping

Portable water bottle with water purifier

If you are looking for a gift for an outdoors person who loves going camping or hiking in the woods, then this is one of the most important things you can buy for them.  Using one of these can improve one’s outdoor activity experience dramatically. For starters, you won’t have to carry several different water bottles with you, and you’ll save on both money and space in your backpack. Last but not least, you’ll also decrease the usage of plastics and help the environment as well.

Portable laundry system for camping

This has to one of the most useful, innovative, and revolutionary camping products you can ever find. It’s a great gift idea for an outdoor person, as we all know that camping and sweaty/dirty clothes go hand-in-hand. This is a lightweight product with a perk of providing you with clean clothes while being miles away from the nearest laundry.

Outdoor compact pocket blanket

If you’re a frequent traveler, you probably experienced a situation in which you were out in the woods and wished you have brought an extra blanket. This pocket blanket mignt not be ideal if you are planning to travel somewhere cold unless you already have a thick blanket and you just want it to be an extra layer but it’s perfect if you travel somewhere with a mild climate or want to use it as a picnic sheet that fits inside your pocket.

This bracelet acts as an insect & mosquitos repellent and it’s an ideal gift for someone who loves traveling to places that are often infested with lots of mosquitos and insects. It works well for some who are sensitive or hate to apply tropical repellent crèmes or lotions.

Unlike the normal towels we use at home, these micro-fiber towels dry up extremely fast, they are super light-weight, and consume less space in your luggage. An excellent choice for someone who likes outdoor activities.

Different types of backpacks

Anti-theft backpack

Every day we come across stories in which travelers fall victim to pocket pickers while traveling abroad. However, there is a solution to this problem; an anti-theft backpack. Anti-theft backpacks have the ability to prevent or at least delay theft. They come with metal-lined straps to prevent slashing and RFID pockets to prevent scanning your important documents (ex. ID, passport, and credit cards).

Gonex camping backpack

Using a backpack which is made especially for camping is a key ingredient for a great camping experience. I tried a lot of different backpacks throughout the years but nowadays, I personally use and recommend Gonex backpacks; they have small compartments for your belongings, comfortable shoulder straps, and most importantly, are completely waterproof.

From my experience, this is one of the best carry-on luggage you can find. The bag can be used as a travel carry-on but also as a diving backpack. This is a complete versatile backpack that can hold your diving gear (ex. diving suits, cylinders, fins, clothes, gadgets, shoes, etc.).
