2. A Free Tours by Foot Private Tour
This has been a hard/non existent year for travel, so why not bring a little travel to them. Free Tours by Foot offers private virtual tours and guided private tours!
They can save it for a future trip or cash it in for a custom virtual tour in cities across the world.
Email us at info@freetoursbyfoot.com for options and we’ll email you a gift card to print out or send to them!
3. Custom Camino de Santiago Map
If you know someone who has been or is planning a walk along the Camino, you can order custom maps (or puzzles!) based on their route from A Road to Santiago
Between customizing the design, printing and shipping, this takes about 5 days to get to your traveler.
4. Scratch Off Map
Reveal the places you’ve been with vibrant colors and see where there is left to go! This simple quick gift is always a hit with travel lovers.
There are a few options to choose from on Amazon.
5. Dopp Kit (Toiletry Bag)
A timeless piece for every traveller, the dopp kit provides a place to store your toiletries. We like the waterproof interior and leather exterior for an option that can last for years and many trips. But Herschel makes a great non-leather bag, too.
If you want something more high-end, check out Hunker Bag’s Baxter Travel Kit
6. Collapsible Water Bottle
Our most common recommendation for what to pack is as travel water bottle! This one collapses to fit snugly in your bag between refills.
