If there is someone in your life who loves to travel and you want to get them a gift that helps support and celebrate their adventurous nature, then this article is just the thing for you. I tried to cast a pretty wide net with these suggestions so hopefully there is something on here that works perfect for the traveler in your life.

I’ll wrap up the introduction here and get right to that list of great gift ideas for travelers.

1. Airbnb

Give Them Thousands of Options for Lodging While They Travel

If you need a great gift for a traveler in your life, an Airbnb gift card is a good place to start. The nice thing about Airbnb is that it has locations all over the place. It has over 7 million listings worldwide in over 100,000 cities. And in the United States alone, Airbnb has over 650,000 different locations you can choose from.

With how expensive hotels and motels have gotten over the years, Airbnb is a great choice for lodging on a vacation or trip. Especially because it offers so much variety in the size of the lodging as well as the amenities.

2. Spotify

Help Them Set the Soundtrack to Their Next Adventure!

Whether they’re flying or driving to their destination, chances are your traveler is going to have a lot of downtime. That’s why I think a Spotify gift card can make a great option as a gift for travelers. A premium Spotify account costs around $11/month or around $99/year. So you have a little bit of wiggle room in how extravagant of a gift you want to make this one. With a premium account, they will have access to over 100 million different tracks they can stream entirely commercial free.

So whether they want to play it through the car speakers and sing along as they travel down the highway, or just want to pop their headphones in and relax during their layover between flights, Spotify is going to give them the option to listen to all of their favorite songs and artists.

3. Calm

Help Them Alleviate the Stress of Traveling

There’s no doubt that traveling can be stressful. Flight delays, long layovers, traffic jams and the like can turn an adventure into a headache in a hurry. So to help them combat the stress that goes along with traveling, you can set them up with a gift card to Calm. Calm is a subscription based service that provides users with all kinds of options to help them relax and destress. It has all sorts of nature sounds, white noise, and ambient music that help calm your mind, and it also offer guided meditations which can be an incredible way to relax and find your center during stressful travel (especially for that special man in your life). And they even have guided sleep meditation to help them fall asleep and get a good night’s rest before their next big day of adventuring!

4. Foot Locker

A Great Gift for Travelers Who Love to Explore the Great Outdoors

If they like to travel to see all of our country’s great national and state parks, then you can hook them up with a gift card to FootLocker. They can use the gift card to pick out a great new pair of shoes or boots to go hiking in. I would say to just get them a pair of boots or shoes yourself, but for some reason none of the shoe companies have a universal sizing standard. So it’s better to just let them go to the store themselves and make sure the shoes fit correctly. You definitely don’t want them out there hiking all day long in ill-fitting shoes.

5. Southwest Airlines

Help Them Save Some Money On Airline Tickets

If they travel by air more often than they drive, then you can always set them up with a gift card to an airline. That way they can save some money the next time they need to get tickets for their next big adventure. And everybody is happy to save money on airline tickets with the way their price has been rising over the past few years.

6. Spirit Airlines

Another Great Airline You Can Get Them Tickets For

If they don’t like to fly Southwest, then you can always hook them up with a gift card to Spirit Airlines instead. And that way they can fly on their preferred airline the next time they need to fly to travel somewhere.

7. Barnes & Noble

A Great Gift for Those Long Layovers

If they fly a lot, then they are undoubtedly used to long layovers between flights. Or even just being bored on the longer flights themselves. And in order to help combat some of the boring downtime that is involved in traveling, you can get them a great book from Barnes & Noble that they can read on the plane or in the airport during their layover. Barnes & Noble is the largest brick and mortar book retailer in the whole country, so they have countless options to choose from. You can get everything from timeless classics to graphic novels and manga at Barnes & Noble, so no matter what they like to read you should be able to find something great!

8. Pep Boys

A Great Gift for Anybody Who Travels By Car

If they are the type of traveler that prefers to drive everywhere, then they are undoubtedly going to run into some issues with their car now and again. And in order to help cover them in the case of an unexpected emergency, you can hook them up with a gift card to Pep Boys. Pep Boys is one of the largest automotive repair chains in the entire country, with over 900 different locations. And it’s because of the wide availability that I think a gift card to Pep Boys makes a great gift for a traveler. Chances are, no matter where their car might break down, there should be a Pep Boys nearby that can handle the necessary repairs!

9. Bass Pro Shop

Great Gifts for Travelers Who Love to Explore the Great Outdoors

Bass Pro Shops can be a great place to find a gift for a traveler (especially that outdoorsy couple in your life) who likes to explore nature and the great outdoors on their adventures. Bass Pro Shops has everything you need for hunting, fishing, kayaking, backpacking, hiking, camping, and exploring so I am sure you will be able to find them a great gift at Bass Pro Shops just in time for their next big adventure!

10. Visa

Get Them A Gift Card That’s Better Than Cash

If they are on the road a lot, there’s no doubt that they are going to run into some unexpected emergencies. And to help cover them when the unforeseen should happen, you can send them a custom Visa gift cards. You can send along a custom message and even pick out a photo to make the front cover of the card, but what really makes these cards a great gift for travelers is the fact that they can be used practically anywhere. Anywhere that accepts Visa will take these cards. So that means they can use it to grab some snacks at the small mom and pop shop in the town they stopped in for directions, or they can use it online to help cover the cost of plane tickets or hotel reservations!
