TOP presents loved by all Travel Addicts
have you still not got any gifts for your loved ones? No problem! For most of us, who already have everything, it is sometimes difficult to find something cool. That’s why today we show you the 10 best gifts for travel addicts, guaranteed to please travelers.
1. Photo-light-chain
This gift is for your friends who take a lot of photos on their travels. The light chain has small clips to which printed photos can be attached. And the coolest thing: the clips light up! That’s why this photo light chain is especially nice above the bed or desk, where you can always look at your unique photos and they are also quickly replaceable. Especially at Christmas and the dark season, this gift is especially nice because you can use them as a light accent. You can buy the light chain on Amazon!
2. World map to scratch or made of cork
This gift is one of our favorites on the list of best gifts for travel addicts! You’ve probably seen a thousand different versions of world maps, so it’s important that you choose the right one to send to your travel buddy. On the one hand, there are the world maps to scratch off. The map is white and gold at the beginning and each country is a different color underneath. By scratching the country you have been to, the map becomes more and more colorful.
If you prefer something less multi-colored, I recommend a cork world map. For this, you often get pins, which you can then pin in the countries or cities that you have already visited. In addition, you can buy more pins, for example with a redhead, for all the countries you want to visit soon! So, what’s on your list? For me, it’s Colombia, Iceland, and South Africa and I can’t wait to marvel at these countries. This world map looks especially good above the desk to take a little break during work and gather strength for the one goal: discover the world.

3. Gift idea: Interactive travel diary
A travel diary is one of the most wonderful gifts for travel addicts who always want to dream back to the place even after their trip. We are not talking about a normal notebook with simple lines, no. There are more and more interactive travel diaries that are really fun to use even while traveling. One of them is the travel diary, which includes maps of each continent that you can scratch-free. This is especially cool if you’re visiting certain cities and just want to uncover the region.
But why should you keep a travel diary? There are several reasons; One of them is that you have the opportunity to not only travel but to you can bathe in the memories by recapitulating what you have experienced and what feelings it has brought you. Especially if you are traveling with others, a travel diary is something very special, because this way of traveling requires a sense of courage and a sense of adventure. You should never lose these feelings because they will take you further and allow you to see the world with different eyes. You can find these special travel buddies at JoinMyTrip.
4. Silicone bottles for shower gel
This gift is really useful for all your friends who often travel with hand luggage or stay in hostels. Does this sound familiar: Before a trip, you get those disposable shower gel bottles from the drugstore, so you don’t have to buy new products on the spot, but after the trip, you just throw them away? So do we! Even though these little bottles are super convenient and you really won’t need them again at home, there are now more sustainable ways to take your favorite shampoo with you on your travels. These include bottles made of silicone. The material is very durable and is easy to wash out and reuse on every trip. They often come in different colors so you know exactly what’s in there. Silicone bottles are the perfect gifts for travel addicts who like their stuff organized.
5. Fanny pack with many functions
Yes, we know there are two opinions about fanny packs: either you think they’re really cool or you feel like your own grandma wearing them. We’ll show you why the first opinion counts. The flat fanny pack from Van Beeken helps us out here. Because it’s so flat, you can wear it under your clothes, around your belly, or crossed over your torso. The bag has two large compartments, as well as 3 credit cardholders. There are several safety clips and the whole bag is water repellent and tear-resistant! Should one of the straps ever break, you can even replace them easily. And psst: there is also a secret compartment. Plus, the entire bag is RFID safe, so outsiders can’t track down your credit cards using electromagnetic waves. Travelers will be especially happy about this, the gift is perfect for anyone traveling.
6. Gift idea: Ultra safe backpack
Have you ever searched Google for “secure backpack” and gotten 73723893 results? This search is just frustrating and that’s why we went searching for you and brought you our favorite. This is the XD Design Bobby anti-theft backpack.
But what makes this backpack so special? It is completely closed from the front! There are no elastic bands, pockets, or visible zippers. Speaking of zippers, there are absolutely none that you can see! You can’t see any pockets on the outside either, the backpack is like a turtle shell.
In addition, the backpack has a built-in USB port on the side, so you can charge your phone with a connected power bank inside the backpack. The outer material is also safe and securely padded from the inside. This backpack is perfect for those who really want to be sure that all things are secured and theft is virtually impossible.
7. Unique sleep mask
For many, brightness is a major problem for restful sleep. Especially when you’re traveling on airplanes and crossing several time zones, your sleep rhythm can suffer. So what can remedy the situation? That’s right, a sleep mask. Many airlines already offer these on long-haul flights, but they are often thin or too big. That’s why there are many alternatives that not only bring you the restful calm but are also fun to look at. Just look for funny sleep masks on Google or Amazon. There are also many masks that have extra padding and have adjustable straps. The masks are also great for road trips if of course, you are not driving yourself!
8. Power bank on the go
We are sure that we don’t have to explain that much. Powerbanks are the must-have for all travelers, which is why they are also optimal gifts for travel addicts. Powerbanks are always handy, you never know how long you will have no power outlet or when you need your smartphone really urgently. Powerbanks are also ideal on long trips with the camper. As the navigation systems on our phones get better and better, we use them frequently, which costs a lot of battery. An efficient power bank is the perfect companion. Look carefully beforehand which power bank has the most power and is as compact as possible.
9. Gift idea: Inflight Comfort Kit
The Inflight Comfort Kit offers full support for a long flight where you don’t want to be disturbed and want to catch up on some sleep. Many comfort kits include a sleep mask, earplugs and a neck pillow. So you have bought everything in one for your friends and they are perfectly prepared for the next big trip.
10. Microfiber sleeping bag
For many travelers who don’t sleep in hotels or vacation rentals, the sleeping bag is the top gadget to have a nice vacation. In hostels, there is nothing worse than dirty bedding and on road trips, it can get cold quickly in the car and blankets are very hindering. That’s why a sleeping bag is always a good idea. But many sleeping bags are often too thick or charge your hair non-stop. However, this is not the microfiber sleeping bag. This blanket alternative is super thin and still warms you really nicely. You feel more like you’re under a blanket than in a plastic bag. Microfiber sleeping bags are the perfect gifts for travel addicts who travel without fixed plans and let the journey come to them.
With these 10 gift ideas, we hope to have given you a few tips for the holidays. No matter what you choose, your friends will be happy because it shows how much love you put into the idea and that you care about them. Especially this year, it’s important to show your loved ones how important they are to you. A really cool gift is of course a trip from JoinMyTrip. This way you can spend time together and discover the world together.
