It’s less then a week before Christmas, and you haven’t managed to find the perfect gift for your traveler friends? Or maybe you just want to buy yourself something nice for Christmas, to celebrate a year of amazing travels? In any case, buying a gift that will make a traveler happy is not that difficult (seeing as they know how to appreciate new things), but finding something that will actually be useful during their trips is another matter entirely. So here are some ideas for the top best Christmas gifts for travelers this year.

Luggage Scale

It’s always frustrating to pack your bags when you know that you have to keep your luggage under a certain weight at the airport, or you’ll ve charged extra. With a useful little contraption like this one, you can finally go to the airport without worrying whether they’ll try to fleece you for that extra pound of luggage.

Starbucks Gift Certificates

Starbucks is definitely not the best choice of coffee shop when you’re traveling in some exotic land, but fact is that Starbucks is virtually everywhere. So a traveler who gets Starbucks gift certificates can exchange them at any of the franchise’s outlets in the world – and some free coffee never hurts!

Ebook device

There are several types of hi-tech gadgets that allow you to read ebooks on them, and while it’s not the same feeling as holding a book in your hands and turning the pages, these readers are small, light and you can read countless books on them. So instead of having to lug around 3 books with you on a trip and getting bored of them halfway through, you can have your entire library with you.

Noise canceling headphones

When you travel to unknown places, you never know what kind of sleeping accommodations you’ll have to make do with, and for light or restless sleepers this can be a nightmare. So if you can’t sleep unless you’re surrounded by deadly quiet, these headphones will save you from many a sleepless night.

Neck Support Pillow

The excitement of arriving to a new place can be really ruined by an achy neck, which is rather difficult to escape after a 10 hour flight or a long car drive. Neck support pillows can’t replace a good night’s sleep in a comfy bed, but they make a huge difference from regular airplane seats.

TSA Compliant Toiletry Bags

I you’re going backpacking somewhere and your budget is limited, you can’t really afford to buy new toiletries everywhere you go. So a TSA compliant zip bag for your toiletries can come in handy, especially if you don’t want to give up on your favourite brand of toothpaste.
