Customize it with a date, name, contact information to make it a gift worth remembering. There will be no confusing the black suitcase just about everyone has with a custom luggage tag.

I Haven’t Been Everywhere But It’s on My List Shirt

It’s funny, as a friend just messaged me a picture of an item with this quote on it just the other day. He thought of me when he saw it, and yep! It makes total sense to me. It probably will to your travel-loving friends as well.

Here is another fun tee option as well, in case you’re interested in one for yourself too. What about this “Travel More, Worry Less” tee? I may just order this one for myself! And another really funny one that I *might* have just bought for myself (if the shirt fits…). Maybe.

Or, if you love this quote but would rather something different, no problem! Here it is on a pillow.

Travel Scrapbook

If you know someone who loves to share their trip photos, this may be the perfect gift. Scrapbookers will also rejoice when they see this one. Capture your photo memories and other things you want to keep in this cute scrapbook to keep those memories alive forever.

If you’re interested in a gift that’s part travel scrapbook and part travel journal, this one’s a sure bet!

U.S. National Parks Listing

Part list, part wall art. You get a little of both with this cute gift. If you’re road-tripping this year in the U.S. (and who in the U.S. isn’t?) consider seeing the United States National Parks.

And when you do, get this to keep track of where you have been. There are 62 in all and it’s a bucket-list-worthy adventure to see them all.

This may be one of the best gifts for road trip lovers. If you know someone who wants to hit the road to see the national parks in the US, this is a great choice.

Greatest 100 Foods of the World Scratch Off Travel Print

Foodies, rejoice! Now, here’s a fun version of a scratch-off travel print foodies can get on board with. Sure, you could have a map with countries or a scratch off print, but what about a food guide to countries around the world? Eat your way around the world and celebrate doing it.

Been to Japan for ramen? Scratch! Enjoyed paella in Spain? Scratch! How many of the top 100 world foods can your loved one (or you!) scratch off? How’s that for travel inspo?

Travel-Inspired Candle

If the travel lover in your life also loves candles and has a great sense of humor, this may be the perfect gift. Maybe you can relate? Instead of buying one candle, buy two!

“You can’t buy happiness but you can buy a plane ticket, and that’s essentially the same thing.”

This hand-poured candle with a funny quote is ginger peach scented—yum! It’s a great gift for when you can’t travel.

Here’s another great option from the same shop.

Customized Toiletry Bag

Here’s a thoughtful custom gift for the man in your life. If you don’t know what to get him, try this customized toiletry bag. All guys need one and what a nice gesture to add a custom flair with initials.

Don’t let him use just any old Ziploc bag for his toiletries when he can travel in style with this personalized leather bag.

Travel-Inspired Pillows

We all have pillows tossed all around our sofa, (um, don’t we?) so why not add some travel inspiration? This shop has a bunch of them to choose from and they are adorable.

We all have that place and that trip we fondly remember like this. I go to the beach in Mexico for a girls’ trip and we’re sworn to secrecy for the rest of the year about what goes on there. And no, I can’t tell you! It’s great fun and a pillow like this would be a lovely reminder of those great times!

Mugs

This camping mug is a great addition for any road trip, whether you’re RVing it or tent camping. For that matter, you can also bring it with you wherever you go. and it can also be enjoyed at home as well.

If you’re a California lover (and really, who isn’t??) check out this fun mug.

These gifts could be practical travel gifts. However, since people are limited for travel right now, we’ll just call them inspirational. Travel lovers will wax nostalgic for that time when they were traveling and when they will be again.

Gifts for Travel Lovers: Maps and Globes

Most travel lovers are obsessed with maps. I know I am! I especially like maps where I can check off, scratch off, pin, or show that I have been to a place.

And I like to check what other places might strike my fancy to add to my (incredibly long) list of places I want to visit. The travel lover in your life may be similar, so these gifts for travel lovers should be a hit!

Push-Pin Map

What better way to keep track of your travel adventures than with a push-pin map. Choose the color you want from a variety and personalize it with some text. Then make it yours by marking each country after you come back.

It’s a great way to keep track of your adventures with wall art!

And here’s a cute push-pin global map made of cork. If you prefer maps with scratch-off countries that you can mark when you visit, here’s a great option for a scratch-off global map.

Picture Map

What an incredibly creative way to customize a map! Since 2020 is “the year of the road trip” for much of the world, Americans will love this one! Add pictures from your road trips to this map to customize it for your family.

Not only is it one-of-a-kind, but you’ll cherish those great memories forever with this lovely reminder on your wall! It’s a great way to get your kids involved (if you have them) to make something they will always remember.

Globes

One of the few things that gets travel lovers more excited than maps—globes. Oh yes, they do, and for a great reason. We can spin them around with our eyes closed and point to choose our next destination!

One of the things I remember from being a kid—my earliest memories, is doing this with my globe. Too bad I didn’t have a journal to note all the places I was planning to go..

Gifts for Travel Lovers: Skylines for City Lovers

City lovers will love these graphic and beautiful skylines of their favorite cities. They can hang them on their wall and remember what great times they had. Or, provide inspiration for a place they want to go.

City Skyline

Who doesn’t love to see the skyline of their favorite city on their wall to remember those good times? Ok, maybe we all don’t love this, but city lovers sure will! Get a picture (or three!) of their favorite cities so they can decorate their home with a wonderful reminder of their travels.

If you’d prefer your skyline in the form of jewelry, you can have that too! These cute necklaces are available in nearly 100 cities. Just pick your favorite city, chain length, and silver or gold tone.

Watercolor City Skyline

This shop offers some really interesting work! They have these skyline images, which are really interesting! Then they offer them on mugs as well. But not to be outdone, they also have a grouping of three images instead of one.

So, if you want a little variety and something a bit different, this is a great gift to consider.

Cartoonish City Skyline

For something a little different than your ordinary city skyline, 88 Prints offers some fun, almost cartoonish-looking ones. They are different than the others you’ll see and they’re a super-affordable gift.

City Watercolors

Wow. Just wow. These are incredibly beautiful! I had a really tough time picking one to display in this post. They are all truly beautiful.

I recommend you go to this shop immediately and pick a couple of these pictures for your travel lover and a couple for yourself. And if you want to send me some, I’m happy to share my address.

Gifts for Travel Lovers: Souvenir Collectors

What do you collect on your travels? Me? I collect magnets and the side of my fridge is covered with them! My friends tease me that someday my fridge will start begging for mercy and may just fall over.

People collect all sorts of things when they travel. A perfect gift for travel lovers is something that they can showcase in their collection. Some of the most common, from my completely unscientific poll are keychains and postcards.

There are some cute and creative ways to display them that you might not have thought of! (I know I hadn’t!)

Keychain Display

This metal tower comes in three different colors and offers two levels to show off your treasures. And you can spin this around and take a look at your collection. Er, I mean the person you gift this to can. Whoops.

Here’s another great option in a different style.

Postcard Display

There are a number of options for postcard displays, depending on personal preference. This Umbra Hangit Display is a cute way to show a photo collage or postcard collage. You can mix it up and swap postcards out to have fun.

There are different styles like this one or this one on a wood background. Or, if you have a seriously large amount of postcards to display, this one may just do the trick.

Travel Collector’s Box

Maybe printed pictures are your thing or maybe you like to collect some reminders of your travels, including tickets, a dried flower, or other items. This box will keep your travel memories safe and together. Customize it to really make it your own.

Last, but not least, if you’re looking for something travel-inspired but have absolutely no clue what to get, check out the WanderCollective shop. It has a lot of fun and different things to choose from, with fun travel quotes, including wall art, mugs, and more.

It has been a tough year for those who love travel, as many of us are grounded from doing something we love. These thoughtful and useful gifts for travel lovers may take the sting out of it for when we can travel again, and I’m sure they will be appreciated.
