Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for the Traveler in Your Life

In fact, make a flight roulette of it and search for the cheapest flight on the night of February 13th. Return on February 15th. Why? Because the prices of flights on February 14th are jacked all the way up. Oh hey! Las Vegas is only about $120 roundtrip on those days… I think I might have found my Valentine’s Day trip.

Use Skyscanner to find a random cheap trip anywhere.

It’s always great to be able to write down the memories from a trip so that you never forget how a certain location made you feel. Every traveler should have a travel journal, but let’s take it a step further: Either written in the pages of the journal or taped in an envelope inside the journal, write a few letters to that person. Tell the person not to read the letters until they’ve filled the pages up to the letters. Write words of encouragement, or reminders, or whatever you like to keep the traveler going. Sometimes travel can be tough and it would be nice to come across a letter from someone they know and love to push them to keep going.

Travel sized hand lotion, travel size hand sanitizer, travel size bug spray, travel size wet wipes, chapstick, and anything else you think your traveler will want with them in their carryon. Put them inside a traveler pouch. The point is that every traveler needs these items and will greatly appreciate having them.

One of the best gifts I ever received before going on a long trip was a gem that is believed to keep away all the bad juju. It was personal, and it was pulled right out of the purse of the person who gave it to me. If you have something that means something to you, or something you believe keeps people safe, like a Saint Christopher or a lucky rabbit’s foot, give it to your traveler for good luck and a safe trip.
