{ }8 THOUGHTFUL GIFTS FOR TRAVELLERS
www.uncaged-bird.com
What do you give
someone who travels
and doesn't want to
accumulate unnecessary
stuff?
Here are 8ideas
#1 Give an experience
When I was 16 I saved up for a
year to give my parents a
weekend trip to Rome.
I love giving and receiving gifts
like this.
Not only do they take up less space in a suitcase they are
also fun and create something precious: memories. Try
Wonderbox for experience gift ideas.
#2 A Portable Blender/Juicer
It's alot of fun to try out local foods
but sometimes they're not the best
for our body. For example try (only)
eating baguettes and cheese
everyday for a year. (I KNOW IT'S
TEMPTING)
Buying fruit and veg from the local markets is a great
way to experience local life and you can smoothify them
in the mornings to still get a dose of vitamins.
#3 A Packable Winter Coat
If your traveller is
heading somewhere
with winters this is
a MUST item.
Uniqlo's coats are
like sleeping bags.
They pack into tiny bags and are made with hi-tech down
that keeps warm even in harsh cold. Words cannot
explain how much I love them.
#4 A Kindle or Tablet
If your traveller is a
bookworm check whether
they have a Kindle or tablet. I
wasn't a fan until I discovered
that I could download books
at the speed of sound (nearly).
For booklovers this is like crack on demand (no waiting
for the book to arrive by snailmail). I suggest a tablet
rather than a Kindle because they'll also be able to do
other things with it. The Kindle app is free.
#5 Perfume Sticks Ok so this is more one for
female travellers. I had to
include it because I think
the idea is brilliant. Solid
perfume sticks that don't
break, spill or get stuck
in your suitcase!
They slowly release their scent and are totally natural.
Check them out here.
#6 Language Learning
If your traveller is determined to
pierce through the fog of not
understanding the local language
check out the Fluent Forever site.
It has great resources such as apps
and lists of the most common
words in many languages.
#7 Passion Planner This is a great planner to
give because it allows you
to combine several things
in one: action lists,
gratitude journaling and
ideas. I also like Danielle
LaPorte's Desire Map
Planner.
#8 Travel Towel
Ok so this isn't the sexiest item
BUT bear with me because it's
just SO useful. These micro-
fibre towels dry very quickly
and take up next to no space in
a suitcase. The perfect way to
always have a clean towel
when travelling.
So there you have it.
Are there any gifts you'd
add to this list? Let me
know in the comments!
