The Best Gifts for Travellers: 2019 Edition

The time has come to unleash the best gifts for travellers in 2019 and beyond! This year I am publishing a new version of my classic travel gift guide, keeping lots of favorites but adding in some new items in several categories. No one wants to gift their traveller friend a high-end item that is of no use to the person and also costs too much. Why give unrealistic gifts when you can win their hearts by following this guide. So, travel along!!

Guys, we are all privileged as hell, but at the same time, I don’t expect you to spend thousands of dollars on gifts. Or hundreds, for that matter. Your trust is important to me, so I’m not going to push things on you that I know are out of reach for most people.

Nothing on this list is ostentatiously expensive. All but a few items are under $100 and most are under $50.
Nothing on this list is ugly. Looking good is important to me, and you’ll never find me in an ugly “travel hat” or zip-off pants (unless hiking). Please kill me if you ever catch me wearing hiking gear in Paris.
Nothing on this list was thrown in for crap purposes. No filler here — I believe in every product on this list.

What are the best travel gifts for men?
Men can be hard to buy for, but some excellent gifts for male travelers are packing cubes, a portable travel safe, or a portable Bluetooth speaker.

What are the best travel gifts for women?
The best gift for women travelers this year is a Speakeasy Travel Supply scarf. These gorgeous scarves have a secret pocket big enough to use instead of a purse. They are gorgeous, versatile, and handmade without using sweatshop labor! Also check out a lockable camera backpack and packing cubes.

What are the best eco-conscious gifts for travelers?
Consider a SteriPen water purifier and reusable aluminum water bottle — they’ll never have to buy a plastic water bottle again, even in countries where you can’t drink tap water!

So, here we go!!!
