42 Epic Holiday Gifts for Travelers Who Couldn’t Travel in 2020

It’s that time of year again for my annual Holiday Gifts for Travelers Guide! We all know 2020 has been hella’ rough on all of our souls and passports, so why not cheer up your favorite traveler with one of these unique gifts?

All of these items will be directly supporting a small business in need (mine!). They are either from my shop, a service/trip I offer, or an affiliate link! Thank you so much for helping this small wanderlust biz stay alive!

Gifts for Travelers From My Shop!

First up in my gift guide for travelers, are these cute, unique, travel themed jewelry items! I started this shop from one of the strictest lockdowns in world in Spain, and am proud to say it helped keep my business running while travel was banned! Thanks for your support!

Featured Product: KimTrue Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer with Aloe

This year it’s ’tis the season to stay sanitary. So for the traveler who has been patiently awaiting the end of the pandemic, here’s a great option! KimTrue is an eco-conscious beauty line, and this is their latest product; hand sanitizer that also contains moisturizer!

It also comes in a larger bottle with pump, encouraging use for multiple people, and less plastic wasted on mini bottles!


Online Courses

Because education is the best gift…next to travel 😉 These courses are great gifts for travelers because it will teach them everything they need to know to work remotely like I do! Whether it’s getting a side hustle and working for someone else (Wanderlust Workers), or turning their passion into a career and becoming their own boss (Be Your Own Boss)!

These two courses include ever skill, technique, and secret that I learned and used to go from full time freelance worker, to full time business owner!


Sustainable Swimsuits

Also during lockdown, I designed and ordered my very own line of sustainable swimsuits! They’re ethically made in Bali using material created from recycled sea waste, plastic bottles, and yarn! The prints represent some of my favorite destinations in the world!


Featured Product: Chloe Colette Chic Travel Apparel


Brag-Worthy Amazon Gifts for Travelers

Here’s some fun and fancy gifts for travelers that you can get from Amazon! From camera gear and picnic equipment for capturing local adventures, to unique travel decor to remind you of your wanderlust!

Cameras & Electronics

These are my recommendations for the best quality for price cameras and electronics. DJI has a great Black Friday sale going on right now, and you can get their products for even cheaper on Amazon!

If you’re in the market for a new laptop that’s perfect for travel, I’d 100% recommend the Google Pixelbook! I’ve been using it as my only computer for over a year now, and I absolutely love it! The only thing it doesn’t have is LightRoom for desktop.

For Nearby Adventures

With most travel lovers opting to stay close to home right now, it’s important to remember that there are still adventures nearby! These adorable picnic kits will inspire hikes and outdoor time, plus they make for great photos! Or use this mini projector to set up an outdoor movie night!

Oh and the jade face roller is to keep you calm and collected until travel resumes regularly again.

Travel Decor

If you miss looking at maps and packing your bags, check out these cute travel decor ideas and inspo! From a suitcase-piggy-bank, to massive wall decal of a map, and even travel themed throw pillows for anywhere in your home!

For Entertainment Purposes

If they couldn’t float on oversized unicorns and flamingos, at least get them one for their drinks! Didn’t need a suitcase? Get them one the size of a purse! And let’s not forget, for all those non-existent tropical tans….there’s the best micromist self tanner on the planet!

The Gift of TRAVEL in 2021!

Obviously the BEST gifts for travelers….are the gifts of TRAVEL! This year I’m offering the option to pay the deposit for someone wanting to go on any of my 2021 Group Trips (all with extremely flexibly Covid cancellation policies, plus strict covid safety measures!).

Of course, you’ll want to make sure that they’re down to pay the rest, but getting a deposit put down is the best way to get them motivated! Please be sure to email mylifesatraveltribe@gmail.com with your name, and the name of who your sending on a trip of a lifetime!!!
