Holiday Gifts for Travel Couples
A compilation of gifts any travel couple would love to have! I hope these Christmas gift ideas inspire you to choose the best present for something special this month.
Mixbook of a recent trip
Digital albums just don’t hit the same as physical ones, and that’s exactly what Mixbook delivers: beautifully crafted travel photo books! If you are looking for a Christmas gift for travel couples, a Mixbook collage of a recent trip is a thoughtful gift you know they’ll cherish.
My boyfriend and I made a Mixbook of our first international trip together, and we absolutely love flipping through it and showing it to friends when they are over.
A Mixbook is perfect if you’re exchanging a couples gifts with your partner, or if you are buying a Christmas present for a couple (and can access their travel photos).
Tinggly travel certificates
One of the easiest ways to pick a gift for travel couples is by giving them the freedom to choose! Tinggly is a unique brand that allows you to give experiences to couples or individuals by letting them choose from a range of experiences or destinations.
You can choose a specific activity, like a dining experience with a private chef in NYC, or choose a package like the Weekend Getaway For Two, which allows the receivers to book a 2-night hotel stay for 100+ countries free of charge.
Wooden World Map
For the travel couple taking on the world, this elegant wooden world map is a beautiful addition to a living room or bedroom. They can keep the map plain or use push pins to showcase the different places they have traveled together.
It can come plain without any words written on it, with state/country names, or more detailed with rivers and mountains. Lots of ways to customize!
Sakuraco for Japanese goodies
For Japanese travel lovers, this is the gift! Sakuraco creates monthly snack boxes of small-business Japanese snacks, teas, and ceramics. If you’re feeling extra generous, you can buy a subscription or purchase a one-time box.
I received a Sakuraco box and it was full of matcha goodies, little pastries, a hand-painted mug, pudding, fancy crackers – all the things! Many of the items in the box include two of each, so it’s an excellent option as a Christmas gift for travel couples.
Luggage Tags
Sometimes you just need to choose a small, thoughtful gift for a travel couple, and for that I recommend something like these sleek aluminum luggage tags.
They come in a variety of colors, are highly durable, and look great with all sorts of luggage options. I love this choice for travel couples who have an upcoming trip planned, or going abroad together for the first time.
Easy, budget-friendly Christmas gift for travel couples!
Sustainable Wool Beanies
If you know this travel couple is going on a winter getaway in 2025, consider a pair of wool beanies knitted with sustainable merino wool or alpaca. These options are warm, wick away moisture, and 100% natural, perfect for the eco-conscious traveler!
Adventure Scrapbook
For the travel couples that love all things vintage and nostalgic, this Our Adventure Scrapbook covers all the bases. The album is beautifully designed and comes with a bunch of stickers to help bring it to life.
This is a thoughtful book for any traveler. Gift it as the book alone, or help get them started by printing out some of their favorite couples’ travel photos for an added personal touch.
Picnic Basket Backpack
If you are looking for gifts for travel couples that love hiking or being outdoors, a picnic basket backpack is a fantastic idea! It’s unique, allows for quality time together, and gives the couple a great excuse to get back outdoors.
The set comes with cutlery, a blanket, wine holder, and two insulated coolers to keep everything nice and cold (or hot) during a walk or hike leading up to the picnic.
Tasting the World Cookbook
If you are holiday shopping for travel lovers who also love being in the kitchen, this Tasting the World cookbook is perfect. The book includes 200 recipes from around the world using ingredients you can find at your local supermarket.
Whether they want to try something new or recreate a favorite dish from their travels.
Hidden Pocket Scrunchies
The perfect stocking stuffer or small gift for a travel couple, these hidden pocket scrunchies are so handy for big cities where pickpocketing is prevalent. (I’m looking at you, Barcelona.)
These cute hair ties come with hidden zippers where you can put your keys and cash, and no one will even know they are there.
And if you’re looking for more ways to prevent pickpocketing abroad, see my guide on avoiding pickpockets.
Fujifilm Instax Camera
If you are looking for gifts for travel couples who love taking photos while away, a Fujifilm Instax Camera is a unique way to preserve those memories.
They shoot like a Polaroid camera, allowing the user to capture a photo and a few seconds later, it pops out and processes instantly.
I love the wide camera version because it lets a couple shoot in normal, landscape, and macro modes.
Plus, it’s easy to get more film for these cameras so it can be used for many years to come.
Gifts for Travel Couples – Conclusion
And there you have it! This holiday season, give a gift that celebrates a love for exploration and helps travel couples create even more lasting memories. Who knows? Your thoughtful gesture might just inspire their next great adventure! What a sweet way to spread some cheer this holiday season 🙂
