25. Gift Cards

These are always a good stocking stuffer - and they don't take up much room! If they're delivered digital then no room at all. Although an Airbnb gift card is our favorite, Best Buy comes in a close second when needing to upgrade our gear.

24. Airtags

With all the missing luggage and bags lately, these are a necessity. Simply attach to the inside of your luggage and use your phone to track!

23. Beats Headphones

These are our go to headphones - not only are they compact and easy to store, but they also have a special loop to keep them secure no matter the activity - highly recommend!

22. Wanderlust Reading Material

You can never have too much inspiration! Fodor's and National Geographic are our two favorites for travel wanderlust!

21. Beginners Camera Set

This was our first camera! Although we didn't get a whole set like this - we think this would be the PERFECT beginner set to capture their memories and to learn to shoot in manual mode! 

20. Enjoy the Wood World Map

Our favorite thing for home! Not only does the map tie together the adventure traveler's space, but now you can even add your own pictures and memories to the map!

19. Voited Travel Blanket

We recently received this as a gift, and it's immediately became our favorite blanket! Not only does it come in a travel bag that compacts and attaches via carabiner (included) but it is also super warm and wind resistant!

18. Insta 360 Camera

All the newest rage. Lol. We don't have one ourself, but have heard amazing reviews and seen some awesome footage from this compact all in one camera!

17. Travel Journal

Perfect for any traveler and comes in 3 colors! This journal has a spot for photos too!

16. Dr. Scholl's Inserts

Ok, we know this one seems really silly, but comes in really useful with all the walking we do! Think of it as a stocking stuffer. ;)

15. GoPro MAX

Our favorite go to adventure camera. Works great underwater and with all the attachments GoPro has it's basically limitless!

14. Eagle Creek Travel Duffel

For weekend or outdoorsy travelers! Eagle Creek is one of the most dependable brands and they make some of the most durable gear!

13. Eagle Creek Packing Cubes

Same with their packing cubes - we highly recommend Eagle Creek!

12. Kindle

The easiest (and most compact...and lightest...) way to bring reading material with you when traveling! This is the newest version of the kindle.

11. TSA Approved Luggage Locks

Another little stocking stuffer, these luggage locks have already been TSA approved! Making for the perfect gift!

10. Passport Holder & Organizer

When traveling we like to keep everything in one place, this helps with that AND makes it easier to have what you need on hand when making your way through the airport.

9. Samsonite Luggage (Carry on & Checked)

Depending on where your traveler is going they're going to need a suitcase. This carry on (left) and checked bag (right) are essential and sturdy!

8. Tinggly Experiences

Want to give the gift of something fun?! Check out these Tinggly experiences in a box - that way your traveler will be able to decide what they want to do while traveling! One box can be used towards 100's of different experiences around the world!

7. Nalgene Resuable Waterbottle

These are our favorite go-to waterbottles when traveling. Not only are they durable, but they don't form mold and they're super easy to clean with the wide mouth. Plus they're easy to attach to your backpack!

6. Microfiber Towel

Another necessity (or luxury) to have while traveling is a microfiber towel, sounds too simple but they come in SO handy and they're very compact!

5. Luggage Scale

Another great stocking stuffer - a travel size luggage scale! This would have saved us so many times from unpacking in line or paying extra fees when our luggage was too heavy!

4. Travel Scratch Off Maps

A fun way to keep track of your travels! We received ours as a gift last year, and love going back to it and crossing off places we've been wanting to visit!

3. Pockettalk - Language Translator

This gift idea might look small, but it is the PERFECT gift for the traveler that's going to a place where there might be a language barrier. Not only does it translate into 82 languages, but it can also read and translate signs and comes with a 2 year data plan! Win win!

2. Portable Charger

Really this could be a great gift for anyone, but we always love having our portable charger around in case for some reason our batteries run out and we can't find an adaptor!

1. Worldwide Travel Adaptor

Coming to our last point, a worldwide travel adaptor! We've used this guy in 5 different countries now and it works amazing as well. Plus, if you're going from country to country you don't need to stop and get a new one for each destination!
