Looking for unique gift ideas for the jet-setter in your life? Moon Travel Guides, the publisher leading travelers since 1973, has got you covered. Here are 12 travel-themed gifts to add to your wishlist, your shopping cart, and your life!
1. A Good Book
Two is always better than one. Even that nomadic friend who’s been everywhere will discover something new in Wanderlust and Wanderlust Road Trips. Packed with lists of the world’s best natural wonders, quirky festivals, bucket-list sites, epic outdoor adventures, and more, these books will look even better open on your coffee table. We promise, the full-color photos and charming illustrations are inspiring for dreamers and adventurers alike.

2. Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are popular for a reason, and this 5-piece set from Calpak is ideal for the world traveler who’s a little…extra. With options like leopard print and rose gold metallic, these cubes make packing fun again.
3. Travel Utensil Set
A sturdy fork, sharp knife, and rounded spoon will make every meal feel special, whether they’re camping, traveling, or working. Even better, this W&P set is dishwasher safe!
4. Deluxe Scratch Map
Think of it as a visual bucket list. Maps International carries a scratch-off map that allows travelers to see every place they’ve been—and muse about where they’re going next.
5. Collapsible Water Bottle
With single-use plastic becoming less and less popular (we see you, SFO) and heavy-duty stainless-steel bottles being a little, well, heavy, a collapsible water bottle seems like a no-brainer. The silicone Hydaway bottle is small enough to fit in your pocket when collapsed—gift it to that friend who likes to work out or hike while on vacation.
6. Anti-theft bag
This may be very uncool, but at Moon Travel Guides, we love a fanny pack. Who wants to carry a heavy purse on your shoulder? Instead you you can have quick access to all your necessities around your, um, fanny. This anti-theft waist pack from Travelon Bags is designed for the active traveler, and includes a 5-Point Anti-Theft security system built in, so you don’t have to worry about pickpockets or thieves.
7. Travel Journal
These cute travel journals from Bobo Design Studio come in two colors and are water-resistant. They are perfect for jotting down all of your adventures!
8. Packing list notepad
Whether you’re coming or going, the remedy for pretrip chaos and forgotten toiletries is here. This Pack This! notepad from our friends at Knock Knock provides an exhaustive checklist of everything you could ever need on a trip. This organizational tool will help even the most forgetful to arrive and depart fully equipped.
9. Magnetic passport wallet
Bay Area-company Waterfield makes this cool magnetic passport wallet. A pair of rare earth magnets keep your wallet closed so your documents stay neatly together at all times, and zippered pockets hold passport, bills, coins and even an AirTag.
10. Assouline Candles
Assouline, publisher of iconic coffee table books, has ventured into travel-inspired candles recreating scents from some of the world’s most iconic destinations. From Greek islands to the moon, these candles will stir the senses and awaken anyone’s wanderlust.
11. Portable Phone Charger
Who says it can’t be practical and fun? The tried-and-true portable phone charger has gotten a major makeover courtesy of Casely. Admire the contrast between daytime and nightfall landscapes, and go wireless for a quick charge on the road.
12. Cooking Kit
When they can’t hop on a plane, why not try hopping into the kitchen? As a fun weekend project, this FarmSteady ravioli making kit will absolutely transport their tastebuds.
