Travel Gifts for Everyone! On any budget!
Shopping for friends and family who don’t share the same interests as you can be hard – that’s why I’ve put this list together, by a travel lover for the travel lover you know.
I’ve spent the last 5 years traveling the world, from luxurious $6,000 10-day getaways to spending less than $1,000 in an entire month. I’ve flown on over 100 flights around the world with only what I can fit in a carry-on bag. Needless to say, I have a good idea what gifts a traveler will not only think are cool, but are also practical and will be well-used.

1. Jackery Bar Portable Charger
Only $16.99 – Buy Here
A portable charger is basically just a spare battery for all your electronics – but it’s the perfect budget gift for any traveler. Phones, tablets and laptops all need a recharge for long flights, road trips, and bus rides. This is the charger I use and carry myself, and it can charge iPhones, iPads, Samsungs, laptops and almost all other smart devices. It’s also small enough for a purse or pants pocket without being too bulgy.
2. Zero Grid’s RFID Blocking Passport Wallet
Only $19.95 – Buy Now
The Zero Grid passport wallet is another item I carry myself and love. Why? Because it keeps my credit cards, cash and passport zipped up and safe; but also easily accessible for the airport, border crossings, etc. It also holds a tiny pen inside it and I can’t tell you how convenient that is – every flight to another country you have to fill out customs forms, arrival and departure cards, and it’s a huge hassle searching your bags for a pen or trying to beg the guy in the seat next to you for one. It’s also RFID blocking to keep your private information safe from identity theft, and is made of water-resistant ripstop nylon with an all-weather zippered closure.
If you don’t like the nylon material this leather one is very nice also, it just lacks the convenient pen inside.
