The old favourite! One of those must have items for any trip a travel adaptor is always a solid buy. Personally I’d recommend one with USB ports and that can cover a variety of countries to be extra useful.

Ok this one is going to sound weird but honestly it’s one of the most used items in my backpack! Why you ask? Well it means you can charge 4 items using only one travel adaptor so it’s great for hostels and hotels with rubbish plug sockets!

4. TouchNote Credits
I love this awesome app (available on Apple, Android and desktop) which basically turns your photos into postcards, prints and posts them, all for around $1.50 a card! Great for keeping the family up to date.

Passports are a travellers most prized possession and passport holders make great budget gift ideas! Opt to go the personality route with something that reflect them or go all high tech with and RFID blocking case that doubles up as a wallet.

Personally I dont use them but many of my travel buddies swear by their eye mask and ear plug kits for long haul journeys and hostel life. There’s plenty of eye masks to choose from out there so you can get one that really nails the receivers personality.
7. Gift Card
If you’re really stuck for ideas (which you shouldn’t be given this list!) gift cards are a great backup for any budget. Sites like RTW Backpackers do gift cards by value or by experience – ideal if you know they’re saving up for a skydive or another pricey bucket list item!

[easyazon_link identifier=”6041509213″ locale=”UK” tag=”backpbante-21″]Travel The World Survival Kit[/easyazon_link]
I love this novelty stocking filler, pack full of little meaningful little trinkets designed to remind you about life on the road. Like string to help you tie up any loose ends before you leave, a penny to bring you good luck, a paperclip to help you hold things together and an elastic band to remind you to stay flexible!

10. Zinc Sunscreen
Always good to be sunsafe on the road especially for surfers and water lovers. Grab them a tub of Sun & Earth Zinc to protect them on their adventures. Made with organic ingredients, reef safe and manufactured using solar power in Byron Bay it’s my go to.
11. Local Currency
There’s something pretty intriguing and exciting about foreign cash, the colours and the pictures definitely evoke the tropical vibes of travel. So if you know where they’re heading grab them some local currency – simple yet effective!

Ok ok so this isnt the most exciting present, but honestly I love my toothbrush holder for life on the road! There’s nothing worse than chucking your toothbrush in your hand luggage only to find it’s covered in dust or debris from your rucksack. Chuck one of these little guys on it and you’re good to go!

One of those must have travel accessories a head torch is something I’m always happy to have kicking around. From camping on the Inca trail to packing in the early morning at a hostel – there’s so many situations this gadget will be an awesome addition to.

If you surf, scuba dive or just love the beach having a dry bag in your kit is something you’ll certainly be stoked for. Perfect for keeping gadgets, towels and all your other gear safe whilst you’re by the water the 10 litre option is ideal to keep tucked away for day trips.
Or if you want go all out check out the Code 10 backpack, but it’ll set you back a heap more.

One of my most used travel items, not only will you keep hydrated, but you’ll seriously cut down on your plastic bottle consumption which is awesome news for the planet. This reusable bottle is fully insulated – keeping hot drinks hot for 12 hours and cold drinks cold for 24 hours.
Ideal for flights, long haul buses and day to day use.

With all these gadgets travellers have these days keeping them all charged can be a nightmare! Having a fully charged power bank is something that’s bailed me out when my iPhone or GoPro have died on a day trip more than once and it’ll be heaps appreciated by any traveller.

[easyazon_link identifier=”B07DNYDD6X” locale=”UK” tag=”backpbante-21″]Shampoo Bar[/easyazon_link]
Lugging around shampoo is not only heavy and space consuming, but we’ve all been there when the bottle leak and cover all your stuff in shampoo. Sure it smells nice but uggghhhh more washing!
These shampoo bars are not only eco friendly, but super handy for life on the road and for those travelling hand luggage only.

Any epic gifts for travellers you’d add to the list?
I’m very interested in the dry bag, head torch, power bank and reusable water bottle. I like to carry light and these look like they’d be extremely useful plus compact.
Thank you for sharing.
This is nice. You can also get a Bluetooth speaker for a traveler. It’s quite handy and useful for travels.
Awesome addition Andre – I like your style!
Hey this is the best guide for travellers ever! Thanks for sharing I bookamark this post and also share it with my friends! Thanks again!
Really good idea. I like most the “Map Cushion”. I can impress my traveler friend with this.
Brilliant guide for travellers. The dry bag would be a great investment for those who love the beach just as much as their gadgets!
I would have to say the Travel Plug, Power Bank 10,000+mAh, and a nice headlight are some of the best gifts.
They come in handy so often.
Loved those carry on cocktails :) Great article
hahaha such a cool little idea hey!?
These ideas are very cool for any travel freak. The best one I liked is Shampoo bar as it will not hamper the clothes or other important paper work as it will not leak out, as a normal bottled shampoo generally does. Very informative read!
I think headphone splitter could be the best gift for travels.it has really helped me in the pasts
Also loved read
