Getting a gift for someone who has been anywhere and everywhere can be a daunting task. Mementos and souvenirs are definitely out. He or she probably has one, anyway. Gadgets are lovely but they can be expensive. To help you with gift ideas, here are some tips from frequent travelers who don’t mind getting one this Christmas.
1. Noise-cancelling headphones
Knock-offs are sold at a cheap price so why not give the real thing this Christmas?
2. Travel pillows
This is a great gift and very appropriate if the recipient is frequently on long-haul flights. It’s available in most retailers.
3. Personal kit
The 3-1-1 rule is important lest you find yourself in trouble with the TSA (Transport Security Administration). Opt for personal kits where you can squeeze in small toiletries.
4. Laptop sleeves or bags
For the traveler who cannot part ways with his laptop, a laptop bag is a gift-worthy item. There are two-in-one messenger bags where you can place your laptop and another section for clothes. The size is not that bulky and would fit just perfect in the overhead bin of the cabin.
5. Books
In this day and age of e-books, there are people out there who still prefer real books, the tangible ones.
Of course there are plenty of gifting ideas other than those mentioned above. If they don’t like surprises and would prefer to get something on their wish-list, all you have to do is ask! The key thing here is to add a personal touch to it. As the old adage goes, “it’s the thought that counts”.
Happy gift hunting!
