Holiday gift guide for travelers

If your holiday shopping list includes the friend who’s always somewhere sipping sparkling wine, the cousin who has a suitcase packed at all times including a corkscrew, or the co-worker who says, “I could totally live out of a carry-on” (and means it), you’re in the right place. Also, if any of those describe you, feel free to send this post as a hint to anyone looking for the perfect gift for you!

This year’s gift lineup is curated for the traveler with stories to tell, the comfort-seeker with style, and the wine lover who has absolutely taken their glass to go.

Let’s unwrap, shall we?

Disclaimer – these are mostly all items I sell personally on my little travel shop on my blog in order to make a little extra income to keep traveling and keep writing free travel information and stories! They are not Amazon or any other affiliate links!

1. World Map Necklace

map necklace for travel gift

Shop here: Map Necklace

This is my signature jewelry piece that I wear every day, and all over the world! It’s also the gift I give to all of my travelers who join my group trips, and now is available in a limited supply for sale during the holiday season! A delicate reminder of everywhere you’ve been and everywhere you’re headed next.

Thoughtful. Personal. And beautifully giftable. This is the piece that says: your heart has wings, go follow it. Wear it with the inspo that if this formerly-broke and un-traveled gal can end up going to over 145 countries solo, you can too!

It comes in gold, silver, or rose gold plated, over stainless steel.

2. Travel Compression Bags

travel comperession bags as travel gifts

Shop Here: Travel Compression Bags

These are the secret ingredient to fitting your entire wardrobe into a carry-on without performing origami on your sweaters. They slim, squeeze, and simplify. Perfect for the aspiring minimalist or the over-packer who will never change. As a full-time traveler, I have sworn by these for over ten years now!

Just be careful when using them for carry-on only luggage! They will make the weight of the bag deceiving! Check out my full tutorial on how to perfectly pack a carry-on, and how to use these compression bags (no pump required!).

Pairs well with: plane tickets, a bold itinerary, and zero baggage fees.

3. Custom Map Poster

This is a really unique and thoughtful gift for your favorite traveler, or for someone you’ve gone on a trip with! A custom map of the places they’ve been, or the exact route you/they took during it! It looks really nice as a full world map with dots of where they’ve been, and also the specific route looks really nice too!

Create and order yours here: Custom TraveledMap

4. Fleece-Lined Tights

fleece lined tights for winter holiday gifts 2025

Shop here: Fleece Lined Tights

Winter holiday adventures don’t have to feel like a survival documentary. These tights are soft warm fleece inside, sheer-looking on the outside, and ready to turn every cold day into a cozy one. They’re that rare unicorn: warm, flattering, and actually comfortable.

Plus, they now come in footless options, so that you don’t get that awkward sag in the crotch because they’re not long enough!

Gift to: The friend who wants to look like “Paris in December” but feel like “curled up by the fire.”

5. Shark Wine Glass

Holiday gifts for travelers shark wine glass

Shop Here: Shark Wine Glass

Because sipping Merlot is fun, but sipping it from a glass where a tiny shark lurks inside is an experience. Suitable for wine lovers, ocean lovers, and anyone who enjoys a touch of bold whimsy. Its conversational art disguised as drinkware.

Warning: May cause dramatic reenactments of nature documentaries.

6. Travel Wine Tumbler

Holiday gifts for travelers - travel wine tumbler

Shop Here: Travel Wine Tumbler

For the traveler who brings the cheers wherever they roam. This tumbler keeps wine at the right temperature whether you’re on a picnic, in a cabin in the woods, or sitting outside an airport gate pretending your flight delay is an adventure.

Lightweight, durable, and ready for a toast anywhere.

7. “Plane White Tee” T-Shirt

Tshirt that says This is my Plane White Tee for holiday gifts for travelers

Shop Here: Plane White Tee

For the pun lover with airport lounge aspirations. Clean, clever, effortlessly cool. It’s the kind of shirt that gets compliments from strangers in boarding lines.

Soft. Simple. Smart. (Just like good travel.)

8. Selfie Water Bottle

Waterbottle phone holder travel gifts

Shop Here: Selfie Water Bottle

Hydration meets hands-free documenting. This bottle comes with a magnetic phone holder so you can casually take the perfect travel photo without the awkward arm stretch or fumbling for angles. Also excellent for propping up your phone to watch movies on the plane, follow a recipe in a hostel kitchen, or record a time-lapse of your campfire breakfast.

Ideal for: Travelers who know every good moment deserves to be captured but prefer to look effortlessly cool while doing it.

9. Country Map Stickers for Your Suitcase

country map stickers for luggage travel gifts

Shop Here: Suitcase Flag Stickers

Your suitcase tells your story. These bold map stickers turn it into a scrapbook of everywhere your feet have stood and your heart has leaped. Peel, stick, and proudly show the world that you collect coastline sunsets and cobblestone adventures. Each sticker is a little badge of honor and a reminder that there’s always somewhere new to go.

  • Samarkand the second time was even more magical! Since I went here last year, they’ve now started doing these “flying dress” photoshoots at Registan Square for around $67, which was definitely worth it! Go super early (6:30-8) to avoid anyone in your photos AND to avoid annoying other travelers trying to take photos 😬 We also got a few group pics with the Travel Tribe! It’s definitely been extremely fun being here a second time with them!! Photography company tagged as a collaborator! Would you do this or nah? ——— Uzbekistan, Registan Square, Samarkand, group trips, solo female traveler, mylifesatravelmovie, Alyssa Ramos
  • Kyrgyzstan is rising in popularity as a unique travel destination and its easy to see why! From the beautiful nature to the well preserved culture, plus being extremely safe, it really makes it an ideal destination, but definitely expect some logistical hurdles 😁 Horseback riding in Chon Kemin and visiting Ala Archa National Park are a must! That's also where we learned about the Golden Eagles, a centuries old tradition practiced by their nomad culture that is still done today, mostly to continue keeping the traditions alive and teaching visitors about it. Do you want to visit Kyrgyzstan? ------ I'm currently hosting a custom created "luxe-adventure" through the 5 Stans of Central Asia with my group adventure community @mylifesatraveltribe! This trip is in high demand so if youd'd to join one of them, please follow there and sign up for our notifications email list linked on the bio, as we dont publicly announce or send out our itineraries. 😁

  • I was one of the last foreigners permitted in Virunga National Park in D.R. Congo before it was closed due to many armed and dangerous groups occupying it. That experience was one of the most memorable ones in my life, and part of why I’ll always say DRC is one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to (4 times). But DRC is also one of the most corrupt countries, with some of the most horrific ongoing atrocities committed on the local Congolese people, the environment, and the animals by greedy, heartless humans. Deforestation, illegal mining for minerals used to make your electronics, and destruction (plus human abuse) are a part of why the animals there suffer. Poaching for bushmeat and to steal baby primates to sell as pets is another. If you’ve ever seen a primate, especially chimpanzees, kept as a personal pet or on display, its parents were likely killed so it could be kidnapped. UAE and Gulf countries, Thailand, China, Eastern EU countries, and even people in the USA are all guilty of this. That’s why one of the organizations I’ve become an ambassador for in D.R.Congo is @lwiro_primates . Lwiro Primates take in injured, abandoned, and smuggled primates, and they rehabilitate and care for them, even during a time when their own homeland is a very scary please. So I am kindly asking today on World Giving Day for Apes, to send them a donation, or at least share their story or the info in this post. Anything helps, nothing does not. And if you ever see a chimp as a pet, please ask the owner if they’re aware that its parents were likely killed just for it to be kidnapped and forced to be a pet. 😡 The link to the fundraiser is on Lwiro’s page and I’ll share on my Stories! I’ve brought about 100 travelers to D.R.Congo, and they all can attest to what a beautiful and unique place it is. I pray and dream for the day that we can safely return there and bring tourism back. Napenda Congo 🇨🇩💖
  • The highlight reel of Skardu, Pakistan! If you'd like the behind the scenes, see my previous posts or the story highlight! But also, yes, it really is this beautiful! Do you like pretty highlight reels or do you prefer the struggle clips? Asking for a friend...who has a lot of both... 😬
  • The Photo VS the Moment in Skardu, Pakistan (wait for the videos after the photo) for anyone who thinks getting photos is easy, behold, freezing water, climbing on rocks, and magical geese who apparently want to be featured in the pics.! (Comment "Skardu" and ill DM you my full travel guide plus how to get notifications for the group trip next year!) What's the wildest thing you've done for a photo?? Thank you Destination Pakistan for the offer to work together and for helping get this footage so I didn't have to always use my tripod or selfie stick!
  • Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque! The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below! What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??
  • Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??

Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque! The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below!

Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??
