Gifts To Give To International Travelers

Finding the perfect gift for an international traveler can be a serious challenge. You want to find them a gift that is both thoughtful and practical… but that’s not an easy job.

Luckily, we’ve got some pretty awesome ideas about what to give to an international traveler – check them out:

#1 Spiritual Places (Inspired Traveller’s Guide)

Travel journalist Sarah Baxter has carefully curated a selection of the most spiritual locations from around the world, from breathtaking scenery to religious capitals. Her enlightening text will reveal the full spiritual story of each site, combined with stories of previous visitors that will both delight and inspire.

#2 First Class 50 – Noise Cancelling Wireless Earbuds

The Back Bay First Class 50 earbuds are perfect for any traveler that wants some peace and quiet during long plane rides. These wireless earbuds have one of the highest ratings for sound quality on Amazon and come with a protective carrying case that can be tossed in a suitcase. With ultra-long battery life, the earbuds are great for an international flight or a day of exploring.

#3 Packbands Multipurpose Adjustable Storage Straps

Invented by a mother/son team who have a love of travel and entrepreneurship, Packbands were developed to replace their use of rubber bands to secure their rolled clothing when traveling. Instead, they created a lightweight, reusable and importantly, adjustable strap to hold clothing and shoes. Rubber bands are difficult to place around larger items (like jeans or a puffy jacket), they wrinkle clothing and they break! Packbands are better: they come in three sizes to fit around a variety of clothing types and sizes, you can join two bands together for a larger item and they can be used to attach items to the outside of luggage or a backpack (a second bag, jacket/sweater, waterbottle, etc.). They have no moving parts to break or rust; they will not snag fabric. Each Packband includes a loop to secure the end and is marked with +/- to indicate a soiled or clean clothing bundle.

#4 Corkcicle Canteen Classic Collection

Staying hydrated is important in general as we all know – but on a plane where the air is very dry, it’s especially important. Why? The dry air supports the body getting dehydrated much faster than usual. If we drink enough water (about 8 ounces per hour) our skin will be less irritated and our bodies thankful, despite visiting the washroom frequently. Having an own reusable bottle is much more convenient, because you’re not dependable on any airline F&B. Refill your bottle anytime when on the ground (at least when you’re visiting tap water friendly areas). This super stylish bottle from Corkcicle is sturdy, easy to fit inside a travel bag and holds hot or cold drinks for many hours. Oh and it glitters (or not, depending on your choice of color).

#5 Graduated Compression Knee-Highs

It’s been proven that compression hosiery can prevent blood clots in the legs. Nowhere is this more important than on long international flights, where people are sitting for very long periods of time. The compression keeps blood from pooling in the lower legs and feet, which dramatically reduces the risk of blood clots or deep vein thrombosis.

#6 Travel Jewelry Keepers

The Ellis James Designs Travel Jewelry Keepers are the perfect setting for all your beautiful jewelry. They keep your necklaces untangled, earrings displayed nicely and all your other jewels in their own little compartment.

#8 CollapseAndGo Starter Pack

For those that travel with their children, CollapseAndGo baby bottles and toddler cups are a MUST! Created by a mom and dad who were traveling abroad with their young daughter, they noticed by the end of the day, they had MANY empty large bulky bottles taking room up in their bag. After researching to buy collapsible baby bottles, they found out they didnt exist, so they invented them! Take it on the plane or take it on the train!

#9 Eustachi Eustachian Tube Exerciser – Unclog Your Ears Naturally

Eustachi is a Eustachian tube exerciser that works with the body’s natural process of swallowing. Whether you know it or not, every time you swallow and yawn you are actually exercising your ears.
