Scratch Off Map

One of my favourite things to do when coming home from my travels is to scratch a new country off of my scratch map. Looking at the map brings back so many memories!

Portable Charger

These are a necessity for travellers who explore for long hours and enjoy taking photos on their phones.

Travel Journal

Documenting experiences while travelling is such a great way to preserve the memories.

Travel Pillow

Purchasing a travel pillow changed the way I travel. I can now take long plane trips or bus rides and feel relaxed all the way through.

Sleeping Mask

Masks are great for helping you sleep on the plane when there are a lot of light distractions around. It’s a great gift idea for travellers (and under $20!) that will certainly change the way they relax while travelling.

Packing Cubes

Purchasing packing cubes honestly changed my life. As I tend to travel to many cities in a short period of time, packing cubes enabled me to keep organized and less stressed. All my things were always packed in their proper cubes!

Travel Lock

A TSA approved lock is great for both locking your luggage and for locking a locker in a hostel.

Quick Dry Towel

This is a great gift for travellers who tend to stay at hostels or shared accommodations. The quick dry towels are very convenient so you can pack away the towels shortly after you shower.

Travel Adapter

A must-have for travellers who are going overseas! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve forgotten to bring these or left them in a hotel somewhere overseas.

Passport Holder

For under $20, there’s a wide variety of passport holders that are perfect gift ideas for travellers.

Travel Books

Travel books are a great way to explore the world from the comfort of your home. I turn to travel books for inspiration for future travels!

Travel Containers for Toiletries

These are great for bringing your products you typically use at home along on your travels. Plus, they help you avoid single use plastic from throwaway bottles.

Collapsible Water Bottle

These water bottles are really convenient for packing into smaller bags and for avoiding single use plastic while travelling!

Packable Daypack

While I do enjoy my sturdy backpacks, I also pack one of these for my travels. They are very convenient and fold small enough to fit in your pocket!

Travel Cable Organizer

Another gift idea for travellers that will surely help them stay organized while travelling (and for under $20!).
