The Best Christmas Gifts for Travelers

Only a few days until Christmas and quite possibly you must be missing a gift for your loved ones. There is nothing more beautiful than to make someone happy. The feeling is almost more beautiful than being given a gift yourself.

Just like every year, you wonder what you can give to your friends or family. I have put together a small list of gift ideas for those who enjoy traveling with your loved ones. Maybe someone of you is going to travel next year, so this might come in handy.

First Class Organization

A simple gift that I have been using for years is – cable bag. Finally, I no longer have to look for the mobile phone charging cable, the headphones or the USB charging cable in my pocket. At first, I thought I didn’t need this bag anyway. But now I don’t go on a journey without it.

In addition, I can only recommend a memory card case. It’s an important gift, after all, for the travelers who shoot countless pictures.

You can get both the cable bag and memory card case under 10€ and can be sure that nobody has this gift yet.

A Photo says More than a Thousand Words!

Every Christmas, my friends and family get a photo calendar from me with our best travel moments from the past year. Meanwhile, I am reminded weeks before Christmas that everyone would be very happy about the personalized gift again.

At the end of the year, I always give myself a calendar with the most beautiful moments I have experienced in the year.

If you don’t want to give away a calendar as a gift, you can, of course, also use other photo products. How about a photo book or your favourite skyline on a canvas? You will find a great selection of photo gifts at MEINFOTO.

Sweet Dreams

This year I forgot my inflatable neck pillow on a plane during a trip. An absolute nightmare! I don’t fly long distances without my neck pillow. Make your loved ones happy and give them pure relaxation on the way to your dream destination.

Recharge

How often have you forgotten a travel adapter in the past or haven’t had the right one with you? It has happened to me countless times in the past until I was given the travel adapter that works in 150 countries. An inconspicuous gift that brings a lot of joy and a little bit of carelessness. The recipient does not have to worry about enough electricity in the future.

Unless he needs several battery charges at the same time.

But often, there is only one socket or only one travel adapter. What then? No problem! Because I have the solution: A USB charger with several ports. With my USB charger, I charge my smartphone, headphones, camera and iPad at the same time, so that I can fully start the next day on my journey again.

Special Travel Gifts

Of course, there is no upper limit on giving them! If you want to have a “big” joy, every travel enthusiast will be happy about having headphones, luggage or, undoubtedly, a camera for capturing those unforgettable moments.

A journey always begins with a flight, car or train. To reduce the time, almost everyone listens to music, podcast or watches a film. Without headphones, you won’t get far, because you don’t want to disturb your fellow travellers.

My faithful companions are my Apple Earpods because they don’t weigh much, are handy and small. Not to forget, of course, the great sound.

My Earpods have their own compartment in my stylish and unique Douchebags backpack! I never travel without it. The best part is that they really go with everything.

If you are going on an adventure trip, I recommend the Hook Up System from Douchebags. In the Hugger 30L and the Big Bastard 90L, you can easily take everything with you on a journey and still look cool.

If your destination is a bit fancy, I would always consider a RIMOWA suitcase. I tried 2x a different brand, and they only kept me for 2 months. With my RIMOWA suitcases, I have been travelling for years and am always very satisfied.

The great equipment and the unique moments should, of course, be captured with a camera and its usage always depends on the purpose. For many people, a small, user-friendly digital camera is enough. If you are interested in my photographic equipment, you can have a look at my article about my equipment.

I hope that there is something in it for some of you and that you or your loved ones can enjoy it. Enjoy the holidays and come well into the New Year!

I’ll show you today the 7 best cities where you can travel safely as a woman, alone.

  1. Amsterdam:

    Coffeeshops und Tulpen – das fällt jedem sofort ein, wenn das Wort „Holland“ fällt. Allerdings hat Amsterdam so viel mehr zu bieten: Die Stadt ist eher klein und daher übersichtlich und gut zu Fuß erkundbar. Alternativ kannst du dir ein Fahrrad leihen und das künstlerische Szeneviertel Jordaan entdecken oder einfach im Sloterpark die Ruhe abseits des Touristentrubels genießen.

    Coffeeshops and tulips – This is immediately apparent to everyone when the word “Holland” falls. However, Amsterdam has so much more to offer: the city is rather small and therefore clear and good on foot explorable. Alternatively, you can rent a bicycle and discover the artistic scene district of Jordaan or simply enjoy the peace and quiet away from the tourist center at the Sloterpark.

Am besten ist es, wenn du dich vor deinem Trip ausgiebig über dein Reiseziel erkundigst, insbesondere, in welchen Gegenden es sicher ist und wo eher nicht.

Vermeide nachts alleine durch die Straßen zu laufen. Ruf dir in diesem Fall lieber ein Taxi, welches dich sicher ins Hotel bringt.

Trage deinen Pass nur bei dir, wenn du ihn wirklich benötigst. Wenn möglich, nutze einen zweiten Geldbeutel, in dem du nur einen Teil deines Geldes bei dir hast. Solltest du ihn verlieren, ist nicht alles verloren! Wertsachen trägst du am besten immer nah an deinem Körper. Alles weitere verschließt du am besten im Hotel-Safe!

Du trinkst abends gerne ein Glas Wein? Gerne! Übertreibe jedoch nicht und behalte dein Glas stets im Auge!

It is best to ask about your destination before your trip, especially which  areas are  safe to travel to or not.

Avoid walking alone through the streets at night. In this case, call a taxi, which will take you safely to the hotel.

Carry your passport only when you really need it. If possible, use a second purse in which you have only a part of your money with you. If you lose it, not everything is lost! You will always have the best of your health. Lock everything else in the hotel safe!

Do you like drinking a glass of wine in the evening? With pleasure! But do not exaggerate and keep your glass in mind!

 

Safe travels! J
