Not a big fan of brain-twisters, and in need of a gift for a frequent traveler that will actually be used (and ideally won’t be thrown away)?

Whether you’re searching because of the holiday season, or because someone’s birthday is coming up… it doesn’t really matter! Searching for a gift for someone who travels frequently is a lot of fun. These gifts are creative, and make sure your friend takes you with him/her everywhere they go. Especially with the 10 best gifts for frequent travelers we collected for you in this blog article. Which gift will you get your friend?

Gift 1 for a frequent traveler

Let’s start with a no-brainer: An absolute must-bring- for each frequent traveler is their passport. A gift you, therefore, can’t go wrong with is a passport holder. This nifty item helps safely store passports so that it won’t get damaged. Most passport holders also hold other spaces. You can use these for items such as plane tickets or (debit) cards. A practical and fun gift for a frequent traveler!

Gift 2 for a frequent traveler

Aren’t all travelers extremely playful, no matter their age? We at least like to think so! The second gift for a frequent traveler is the Waboba Extreme water ball. The secret ingredient to this ball is its gel core. This makes the ball bounce fast, high, and far on the water! As full-time travelers, we confidently say that the size of the Waboba Extreme is small enough to fit in everyone’s suitcase or backpack.

Gift 3 for a frequent traveler

Sustainable toiletries! In case you feel this wouldn’t be a cool gift, you have nothing to worry about! Because we personally love these items so much, we literally put these on our Christmas list each year (which our families can confirm). So, let’s dive in! A few examples are natural deodorant, shampoo bars, and all-natural insect repellent. But there is more! We listed a bunch here.

Gift 4 for a frequent traveler

Remember that photo your friend sent you last year, while being on a tropical island he or she stayed? These photos aren’t complete without casually laying in a hammock. There’s just something magical about tropical islands and hammocks. How cool would it be to give a lightweight hammock this year! Make sure to grab your hands on this exciting gift.

Gift 5 for a frequent traveler

We placed the next gift also on our list with the most wanted eco-friendly travel items. We refer to the packing cubes. Packing cubes are a must-have for every traveler. These cubes make sure your suitcase or backpack feels almost as organized as your closet. Whether someone travels with only a day pack, a suitcase, or a backpack, a packing cube is always handy. You can order different sizes. We personally always travel with 2 bigger ones, and 1 smaller one.

Gift 6 for a frequent traveler

Everyone is eager while traveling to hold on to the experiences and lockdown memories. The places they visited, the people they met, the things they did. How much they would love to remember each adventure, they simply can’t because it’s too much. To capture each adventure, a gift each frequent traveler will love is a travel journal! For this, we selected a travel journal that includes four different little notebooks. With lines, dots, and two blank ones. The travel journal, therefore, offers a suitable notebook for every type of writer.

Gift 7 for a frequent traveler

Don’t click away after you see the price of our next selected gift! Why? Because this gift is extremely sustainable and lasts for years. As so-called Green Business owners who travel full-time, we don’t go anywhere with our water bottles with filters. Our water bottle with filter is the very first sustainable travel item we bought ourselves. Because we used it that regularly, we purchased a second one as well. We both travel with Lifestraw. Lifestraw’s water bottle reduces the waste of plastic worldwide. By the use of microfilters and purifiers, it changes contaminated water into drinking water. A big, big plus, and a sustainable travel item that’s absolutely unmissable for any kind of traveler.

Gift 8 for a frequent traveler

Let’s be honest: this gift is on our current Christmas list: Gentlemen’s Hardware playing cards. But not just any kind of playing cards, because these cards are waterproof. Each card also holds a survival tip or fact on the back. Super fun and handy to give!

Gift 9 for a frequent traveler

Warning: after reading through tip 9, you might end up buying 2! With IXXI you create your own desired wall decoration. We personally can’t think of a better gift for a frequent traveler than this. With a personalized wall decoration, you help bring back incredible adventures, by filling the room with art-looking pictures. Playful, creative, and timeless.

Gift 10 for a frequent traveler

Buy this cute bracelet for your friend who loves to travel! Give something they will remember you by while being on the road. Give something that will remind them to always find their way back home with the compass displayed.
