Design and utility are the name of the game when looking for gifts for people who travel. It doesn’t matter if the recipient is a certified jetsetter or a self-proclaimed camper, the gift you should get must be something useful but also stylish at the same time.
Rounded up below are some of the best gift ideas that no travel aficionado can resist.
It is necessary for carry-on travelers to have toiletry bottles of less than 3oz or 100ml to ensure that they don’t violate airline regulations when it comes to toiletry sizes allowed in planes. Travel-sized toiletry bottles will let the recipient pack their favorite products with no need to carry large containers. Try to look for these bottles that come with anti-leak caps and wide openings.
Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are just amazing tools that can help any person stay as organized and neat as possible during their travel. Whether you will give it to someone who travels with tons of suitcases or someone who follows a strict budget for their trips, packing cubes can help them keep their things organized as they explore the world. These packing cubes are available in different sizes to allow storage of both small and big items. If the traveler you know prefers to keep things in order, packing cubes are the best gifts for them.

Packable Daypack
A packable daypack is extremely useful if the recipient prefers to travel with a single bag but wouldn’t want to explore their destination with their main luggage in tow. Packable daypacks make it convenient to have everything in one place while hopping from one tourist attraction to another.
Travel Lock
As simple as this item might seem, this is actually one of the most critical items for any traveler, especially those on a budget. Since most hostels provide lockers for their guests, it is important for backpackers to have and use their own travel lock when they are out and about. Although locks are often available for rent in hostels, their costs can easily add up after some time. The traveler that you will give it to will never step outside the house without it because they know it can come in handy.

Foldable Water Bottle
A traditional water bottle can take up a lot of space once they are empty, making foldable water bottles so much better during travels. Choose one that is durable but lightweight and can be rolled or flattened once empty. Those that could be clipped to bags or come with flip top cap are also great options.
Even if you will swim in water, you still need to drink water – bring your bottle!
Earplugs
People who ever tried staying in a hostel will surely agree that a good pair of high quality earplugs is a big must. From late night party goers to chronic snorers or even couples doing their thing in noisy bunks, hostels are accommodations that are far from being peaceful and quiet. This is what makes earplugs some of the best gifts for people who love to travel. After all, who wouldn’t want to have a good sleep, right?

Travel Coffee Mug
Travel coffee mugs are must-have for travelers, especially those who don’t want to be part of millions of people who throw away disposable coffee cups.
A travel coffee mug can also come in handy during road trips particularly in remote places where it might be difficult to look for a place where one can stop by for a drink.
Travel Adapter
There is nothing more frustrating than arriving in your destination only to find out that it is impossible to charge your devices due to the different electrical outlets. This is when a travel adapter comes in handy. These are simple but useful devices that are easy to use, lightweight and best of all, affordable.
External Hard Drive
If the recipient of the gift usually travels with their laptop, it is essential to have your data backed up. Look for a small,, sturdy, and light external hard drive and put a big smile on the recipient’s face.
Travel Towel
Normal towels are heavy and bulky and this is why travel towels are another essential item for travelers, specifically those on a budget who stay in accommodations that don’t provide towels. Pick towels that are quick-drying, compact, and light.
Everywhere you go, always bring the towel with you…
Passport Holder
Avid travelers will always need a good quality passport holder. It doesn’t only keep your passport protected from wear and tear as it also ensures convenience during your travels. Many passport holders also come with slots where you can keep your credit cards and cash, making this a handy and safe way for your valuables to stay secure during your travels. Although there are many fancy and expensive passport holders available, you can settle for a simple one as a gift that can get the whole job done without breaking the bank.
Shampoo Bars
Shampoo bars are solid toiletry products that can be used to avoid leaks and get around the airline restrictions. The best thing about these products is that they can work as both shampoo and soap at the same time. These can also last for a long time and are guaranteed eco-friendly. They serve as amazing small and cheap gifts for people who travel a lot.
Toothpaste Bites
Any traveler knows all too well how it can be a pain to travel with liquids. These can be a serious hassle in airport security and toothpaste products are just some of them. Their plastic tubes only end up in the landfills, not to mention that it would be difficult to get out every drop of toothpaste from the tube.
Good thing toothpaste bites are here to the rescue. These are dry toothpaste tabs available in recyclable jar so there are no worries about plastic here. Getting used to them might take some time but these are eco-friendly options for all environmentally-conscious travelers. To top it all, these can do a great job of cleaning teeth, which is very important during trips.
These are some of the Habeco gifts for people who travel that won’t break your budget and still make any recipient happy and feel valued.
