Christmas Gift Ideas for the Traveler in your Life

When it comes to Christmas shopping, I’m the person that still refuses to online shop and wants to visit the mall in person. (I do however do my pre-shopping browsing online). There’s something about people bustling about, the air of the holidays, and the decorations that just makes it so much more fun! However, with the fun also comes the stress of figuring out what to buy your loved ones. This year, I started my shopping early at Stanford Shopping Center (my holiday go-to). Now, over here at P&P we’re travel focused which meant that this year’s guide is all about the traveler! Keep reading for Christmas gift ideas for the traveler in your life.

Christmas Gift Ideas Under $20

Travel Guides

I know that nowadays we mainly do our travel research online (cough cough on Palm Trees & Pellegrino), but there’s something nostalgic about receiving a guide book. They make for great home decor and are perfect if you know where the receiver of your gift is off to next!

Pencil Cup

Forget the boring mesh pencil holders of the past, this unique one will for sure be a conversation starter at the office.

Trivia Cards

Trivia cards make a long flight go by quickly or can keep your guests occupied at a dinner party. I particularly like this one as a stocking stuffer!

Travel Skincare Starter Kit

Have a younger traveler on your hands? Or perhaps someone new to skincare? This mini starter kit is not only travel-friendly but under $20!

Christmas Gift Ideas Under $50

Luggage Tag & Passport Holder

Luggage tags and passport holders are those items that people rarely think to buy for themselves. However, many people appreciate unique ones as gifts. Plus, you’ll never lose sight of your suitcase or passport.

Wanderlust Coffee Table Books

Another one of those items people often don’t think to buy? Coffee table books! Wanderlust-themed books are always a hit. Added points if you pick a book from somewhere they’ve been.

The tiny card case

I know that when I travel my big wallet stays home, that’s when it’s time to pull out the card case. The Everlane card case below is perfect for minimalist travel and is sustainable.

Christmas Gift Ideas Under $100

Travel-friendly skincare

These Kiehl holiday sets are the $15 one’s older siblings if you will. My personal favorite is the Midnight Must-Haves (which is great for overnight flights).

The shoes that can squeeze into the suitcase

I don’t know about you, but packing shoes is always a problem for me. They always take up too much space. These space-savers are stylish, versatile and fit easily into your suitcase.

Cashmere Beanie

Giving a gift to someone that’s fond of winter travel or is always cold? Consider a cashmere beanie, an elevated version of this classic style.

Sunglasses

Ray Bans are my favorite sunglasses, I’ve had a pair that’s lasted over 10 years. Have someone always traveling to tropical destinations? These might be for them.

Travel Bag

Personally, I swear by Longchamp bags as they easily fold and fit lots of items. This backpack, which may look small, fits so much in there that it’s crazy! It’s perfect for the traveler that loves to walk and shop.
