Christmas Gift Guide for Travel Lovers 2023

1. Luna-Air

We are kicking this list off with our tried-and-true Luna-Air. Get your loved one excited for their next trip with a Luna-Air suitcase in their favourite shade. If you are watching your pennies, opt for the Luna-Air Carry-On size. However, if you aren’t holding back, the Luna-Air Large Checked or the Luna-Air Carry-On & Large Set would make for an epic gift.

If you are feeling extra generous, consider adding another element to the gift by filling the Luna-Air up with assorted travel accessories. Help them stay organised as they travel with a set of packing cubes or personalise their case with a luggage strap or leather luggage tag.

If they love travel, nothing beats an actual trip somewhere. A getaway for two could be a great idea for your significant other, allowing you to spend quality time with them while catering to their adventurous nature. For the actual gift, you could purchase the plane tickets in advance.

A road trip within the country is a great option for those who aren’t in the market for overseas travel just now. Make some hotel and event bookings, print them off and present them in a little envelope come Christmas morning.

This is an extremely practical gift for someone who already has an overseas holiday booked. Help them navigate their new surroundings with ease and interact with locals by gifting them a subscription to a digital language learning app. Some great options available are Duolingo or Babble.

If you don’t wish to go down the digital subscription route, you can always opt for a book instead. If reading isn't their thing, you can find some great resources on Audible too!

4. Weekender Duffle

A chic leather duffle is a must-have for any avid traveller. Our Weekender Duffle is the perfect carry-on size, with a 28L capacity and a spacious main compartment. With an in-built rear trolley sleeve, it easily slides over the telescopic handle of your checked luggage for easy airport travel. The rigid base allows for easy packing, whilst the detachable and adjustable shoulder strap makes for easy carrying.

Available in Black, Tan and Brown, there is a neutral shade to suit every individual.

Headphones are another epic gift idea, providing entertainment throughout your travels. Whether your giftee is sitting in an airport terminal or on the plane, a pair of quality headphones will keep them from getting bored during these waiting periods. Not to mention, they will also come in handy for daily commuting or gym sessions, making them a present of exceptional value.

6. Arlo Pro

If you are looking for quality luggage to accompany your loved one on international adventures, the Arlo Pro is a great choice for this. The Arlo Pro is our newest and highest quality range, crafted from German Makrolon Polycarbonate with Japanese Hinomoto Wheels and YKK zippers. This makes it a perfect luggage choice for the frequent flyer or serious traveller.

If the person you are shopping for is both an avid reader and traveller, then an E-reader is a fun gift idea. It is the perfect way to pass time on those long journeys, whether that be via car, train, bus, or plane. It also comes in handy in day-to-day life, providing a convenient way to read books and unwind.

8. Travel Journal

Give your loved one the opportunity to document their special travel moments with a travel journal! It is a great way to document all those incredible memories they don’t want to forget once they arrive back home. It also provides a great place to pop little polaroid pictures or train tickets kept as mementos.

Packing cubes are a total lifesaver for those who love jet setting from place to place. Choose a specially curated set to fit their luggage and take their organisation to the next level. Our Explorer Packing Cubes feature a mesh window for easy visibility and come in a wide range of sizes to suit different clothing types. Made from 200D polyester, quality is paramount and will serve you well over many trips.

10. Explorer Gift Card

If you are struggling to pick out a gift, you truly can’t go wrong with an Explorer Gift Card. It also caters to a wide range of budgets and gives your loved one the ability to choose whatever they want. Whether they want a duffle, a suitcase or a bunch of travel accessories- the choice is entirely theirs. Not to mention, it takes the pressure off of you having to make the big decisions yourself. Bonus!

A picture is worth a thousand words- which is why a polaroid camera is the gift that keeps on giving. Give your travel-obsessed friend a way to authentically capture those special moments during their next trip. Take note of your loved one’s favourite colour and try and find a polaroid camera in that shade to make the gift a little more personal.

12. Power Bank

There is nothing worse than your phone running out of battery when you are gallivanting around a foreign country or city. A portable charger is easy for travellers to take on the go, helping them to stay connected wherever they may be. Not to mention, our Explorer Carry-On cases all feature an integrated USB port, allowing you to stay fully charged during those airports stop gaps.

This is great for those who love to travel off-grid or go camping. There are many different board games available in mini sizes, allowing you to take it with you wherever you go. This gift offers hours of fun and is a great way to unwind after a long, busy day of adventuring.

14. Leather Luggage Tag

Our Explorer leather luggage tags make great stocking stuffers. If the person you are buying for already has a suitcase, then a luggage tag is a great little add-on.

On a similar note to the above, an Explorer Luggage Strap is another great stocking stuffer. These straps are fully adjustable, allowing it to fit around any suitcase. It adds an element of personalisation to their suitcase while also making it easy to spot on the baggage carousel. Bonus!

Get your travel loving friend or family member a travel guide book to hype them up for their next trip! Guide books can help them plan their upcoming trip to a tee, helping them uncover the best local experiences and discover the most epic destinations to visit. Once their trip is done and dusted, they can use these guides as a wee coffee table book.

A universal travel adapter is a practical gift for the nomadic traveller in your life. No matter what country they are jet setting off to, this adapter will help them charge their devices or appliances without any hiccups. You may think it sounds a little boring – but it is truly a must have!

A scratch off world map is a fun way for your giftee to document their trips. If their lifelong goal is travel across the entire globe, this map will help keep them motivated to do so. Not to mention, it looks great on display and is a total feature piece.

Travel attire is always a winner! A matching tracksuit is a great gift for those who appreciate wearing a comfy fit around the house, in the car on a road trip or at the airport. Pick a tracksuit in their favourite colour and they’ll be sorted for their next journey – whether that be across the country or the world.

20. Travel wallet

A travel wallet is a must! When travelling, you’re constantly pulling out your wallet, whether that be to buy food or go shopping. However, not all wallets are created equal so make sure to look out for one that is kitted out with dedicated slots for passports, boarding passes, credit cards, and currency but also adds a touch of convenience to their journey. With a travel wallet, everything they need is readily accessible, allowing them to breeze through airport security and customs.
