Unique Travel Gifts for Christmas
Coming up with unique Christmas gift ideas can be difficult. If
you're buying for a traveler, here are a few unique travel gifts
you should consider.
Travel Gifts
For some people, travel consists of hopping on a plane and
moving around the country as part of a job. For others, it is an
opportunity to get out and see exotic locations. Regardless of
the type of travel, following are a list of unique travel gifts
you can buy friend and family who travel.
1. Gladiator School - Watching the movie, Gladiator, each of us
had a moment where we pictured ourselves on the floor of the
coliseum. Well, now you can give someone the ultimate travel
gift. Yep, Gladiator lessons in Rome, Italy. Located on the
ancient Appian rode where Spartacus met his end, the Gladiator
School offers a variety of lessons in the theory and actual
combat techniques of the Gladiators. You will actually cross
swords with others. Courses range from on day to four months.
2. Packing Compressors - Okay, these aren't the most exciting of
gifts, but travelers love them. When you travel, space is at a
premium. Packing compressors are zip bags that hold clothes. The
bags have a pressure valve that removes the air and reduces the
space taken up by the clothes by over 80 percent. This means you
don't have to leave the wool sweaters and winter jackets at
home. A tremendous utilitarian item. Eagle Creek is the leading
brand in this category and you can spend between $10 and $30
depending on the size of the bag. This is a travel gift that
will actually be used and cherished.
3. 1,000 Places To See Before You Die - This books makes a great
gift for travelers. Locations and descriptions of unique
places
are included. Be warned, the person you give this gift to will
end up sitting somewhere for hours reading it. In rare cases,
they'll walk out the door and go directly to the airport. You
can buy it at any bookstore.
4. Swiss Army Knife Pens - Everyone knows the value of Swiss
Army Knives. Now you can buy it in the form of a pen. The tools
pull out of the top of the pen just like the traditional knife.
Expect to pay $30 for this travel gift.
5. Fly the Big Apple - If New York City is on the travel
itinerary, then a helicopter tour over the Big Apple is a great
gift and surprisingly inexpensive. Xperience Days is offering
them for $65.
6. Nomad Travel Journals - A little self-promotion here. Nomad
Travel Journals are compact writing journals that let travelers
keep notes about their trips. Really great for creating a record
of who was on the trip, things seen, people met, contact
information such as email address, phone numbers and so on. As
the years pass, you can read back through your travel journal to
relive trips and laugh yourself silly over funny events you
might otherwise forget. A tremendous gift for student travelers
and backpackers. You can click the link at the bottom of this
article to see the travel journals which cost $25 with case.
Shopping for the holidays can be stressful. If you're buying for
a traveler, any of the above gifts will be a hit.
