What to get your always-on-the-go friend? Check out our guide for gifts that make traveling easier, more efficient, and more fun. Plus, these kinds of things are (for me, at least) insanely fun to shop for. Keep reading for our suggestions!
I love this sleek passport case. It comes in a variety of colors and holds your passport, plus has extra spots for credit cards or other important documents that you want to make sure you keep track of. This one is from Longchamp, and you can get it from their website for $58.
If your friend has got the travel bug, then 501 Must-Visit Destinations is – what else? – a must. This book is perfect for learning about the most fantastic places the world has to offer (and this book is extensive – it spans the entire globe) so that she can start planning her next amazing vacation! The book is available from Amazon.com.
Someone who travels a lot needs a way to remember all the experiences they’ve had, so a journal would make a perfect gift. This sleek option, which you can get at Amazon for $10, would be perfect, but there are also a ton of more colorful journals out there as well. Browse around and see if you can find something perfect!
Every girl on the go needs her makeup essentials with her, so this leopard print cosmetic bag by Tory Burch is a perfect fit for just $65. Leopard print is big right now (isn’t it always?), and a cute printed bag like this will never get lost in the depths of a black suitcase. You can get this bag from Nordstrom.
Finally, one of the worst parts of traveling is the flight – especially long overseas ones. Make those trips easier with this set from Crate and Barrel. It’s three really useful items in one: an eye mask, a fleece blanket, and an inflatable pillow that doubles as a carrying case for the mask and the blanket for $19.95. No more sketchy airplane pillows and blankets with this set!
