10 Unique Valentine’s Day Gifts For Travel Lovers
1. Eco-Friendly Products
We can all agree on trying to protect our beautiful planet. Make the world a little less trashy and pick 5 eco-friendly products in a zero waste gift box as one of your gifts for travel lovers! Every toothbrush you ever used still exists in a landfill somewhere! More than enough reason to start exploring plastic-free alternatives!
For travel lovers with a uterus,we recommend this cute reusable menstrual disc. Tampons and sanitary pads are one of the largest sources of ocean plastic, so you’ll be doing the world a lot of good when you switch over to reusable products.
Other options include anything from reusable cutlery to water bottles and reusable coffee cups, reusable sandwich bags, and lunch boxes.
2. The Gift Of Learning
Are you looking for gifts for travel lovers with hungry minds? We have just the thing for you! Give the gift of Masterclass. On Masterclass, you can learn from experts in their fields, people who inspire the world.
The best way to guarantee you’ll manage to take the ultimate Insta-shot is to revamp your photography skills while taking a class with (gasp!) Annie Leibowitz. Jimmy Chin covers adventure photography, for those daredevils out there. Are you an aspiring travel writer or blogger? Perfect your writing skills with classes from masters such as Margaret Atwood, Dan Brown, James Patterson and Salman Rushdie!
For those travelers stuck at home, take a cooking class and recreate dishes from other countries with Wolfgang Puck, Gordon Ramsey and many more.
3. Color Your World
Coloring isn’t just for kids! It can reduce stress, improves vision and motor skills, and helps with patience and concentrations. And, most importantly, it’s FUN! So – if you are buying a gift for a coloring travel enthusiast, look no further. With the Travel the World Coloring Book for Adults you can color yourself to your dream destination!
Conquer Language Barriers
So many countries to see, to little time…to learn the language. Of course we can book that trip to a foreign country and learn to say basic phrases such as ‘hello’ or ‘thank you’. But sometimes that’s simply not enough to get around.
4. Language Learning Service
If you know your loved one well, you’ll know which of these options to pick. Is she planning an extended stay in Italy? In-depth learning of the language might be a great idea for her. A subscription to a language learning service such as Rosetta Stone will allow her to be fluent in no time! Prices start at $11.99 USD per month, but for a meager $299 USD a lifetime subscription with unlimited languages can be yours!
5. Translator Device
For the traveler who wants to go absolutely everywhere there is but one solution: a language translator device. These devices don’t come cheap – but an investment of $299 USD can save you from getting lost and having to take a taxi back to your hotel, accidentally ordering the most expensive thing on the menu, and best of all, it allows you to make new friends in a new country in no time!
6. DIY On The Go
For Do-It-Yourself enthusiasts, traveling can be a challenge. To find room for all the art and craft supplies somewhere, and now have it turn into a big mess is tough and inconvenient. Drum roll please: along comes the travel knitting bag! This bag has plenty of space for an oversized skein of yarn (or 2-3 balls), needles, and other knitting necessities. All you have to do when you are ready to knit is to hang the handles over your arm, pull out a string, and knit away.
7. Power Bank
Oh sigh. What’s so special about a power bank when you are looking for unique gift ideas for travel lovers? Isn’t that something that’s listed in virtually every gift article? I know, I know. But hear me out. I’m not talking about a boring old power bank. May I present to you its shiny younger brother, the WIRELESS power bank? There’s no more need to carry a bag full of cables around. Place any Qi-enabled device right onto the powerbank and start charging!
8. Bring Travel Home
Gifts for travel lovers don’t just include things that are useful while traveling. How about something that reminds them of their travels? This travel metal wall art is unique and fun.
9. Travel In Style
Are you shopping for a beach enthusiast? One of the most important thing to remember on beach day is a good pair of sunglasses….or three, or five. For those who can’t decide which pair to bring for the next beach vacay, consider a sunglasses travel organizer. It will keep them all safe and in one place, and you’ll always have the perfect pair handy to match your outfit of the day.
10. Dream Of Future Travels
Gift cards may not be one of the most original gifts for travel lovers. This one, however, is an exception. Give the gift of travel with a gift card. Some great options are:
