Unique gifts for travel lovers

Ready to surprise the travel lovers in your life? Our gifting experts have put together a guide filled with the very best travel gift ideas for all your favourite people, whether they’re always off somewhere sunny or have a life-changing trip in the pipeline. 

Travel gifts for women

From fun passport covers to travel mugs and diaries, our creative small brands have lots of unique gift ideas for the women in your life. Think washbags that will look great in their holiday snaps, travel jewellery pouches to keep their favourite pieces safe and luggage tags to help them spot their bag in baggage claim. 

Travel gifts for men

Hmm, what to get the travel loving men in your life? Practical gifts can be a great choice if you want to make their holiday as smooth as possible. Think personalised wash bags, cable tidies or a portable charger. One of our top picks? This stylish travel tag from independent brand, Undercover. It’s handmade using recycled leather.

Gifts for couples that travel

A great idea for couples? Matching accessories! We love the idea of getting them their own matching passport cover and travel tag set. Another idea is to get them travel-inspired activities they can enjoy together for some serious bonding time. Think a personalised bucket list book, scratch-off map or world recipe kit.

Gifts for people going travelling

While travelling can be very exciting, it can also be a bit nervewracking, especially if your loved one’s never really gone far from home. A good luck token is a really lovely way to wish them safe travels on bigger trips. And, it’s something that can bring them comfort if they’re ever feeling a bit homesick. 

If they’ve got a few trips planned, a personalised passport holder is bound to come in handy to keep their passport protected. If they’re someone who loves to write, a travel journal could also be a really thoughtful present. And, in years to come, it will be a lovely way for them to reminisce about their trip, too.

Gifts for someone travelling to…

Whether they’ve just got back from their trip or are planning a once-in-a-lifetime holiday, we’ve got you covered with meaningful gift ideas.

New York

While a trip to New York is definitely exciting, it can be overwhelming picking from all the amazing things you can do there. That’s why we love this New York adventure kit from independent brand, mrs L cards. It’s perfect for surprising someone with a trip to The Big Apple. 

As one of the world’s most iconic cities, New York has been a big inspiration for our community of small brands. From skyline cushions to bookends and Central Park prints, discover tons of stylish finds.

Japan

Japanese gifts, coming up… Japan, of course, is renowned for its beautiful design and craftsmanship. So, when it comes to gift ideas, you’re really spoilt for choice. Whether they’re sake obsessed, always fancied growing their own bonsai or want to create their own mini zen garden, our independent brands have got you covered. 

India

If they’ve visited India recently, we’ll bet they’re missing the food. But the good news is, we’ve got lots of Partners who can help bring those incredible spices home. Take the Spice Kitchen, who offer authentic spice tins packaged in handmade sari gift wrap. If they’re missing chai, how about gifting them their very own chai kit? It comes with instant chai, some delicious biscuits and even a glass.

New Zealand

It’s no secret that New Zealand is a popular destination for Hobbit fans. And, if that’s the case for your loved one, we’ve got just the print for them to remember their trip by. We’ve also got personalised travel journals made for the trip and beautiful prints celebrating some of New Zealand’s most iconic spots. 

Thailand

When it comes to Thailand, their delicious food is the first thing that comes to mind. If they’ve been particularly inspired by Thai cuisine, the good news is that there are lots of ways for them to enjoy it back home. Think Thai grow-your-own kits, cookery classes and mouth-watering dipping sauce sets.

Personalised travel gifts

At Not On The High Street, we know a thing or two about personalisation. We’d even go as far to say that no one does it quite as well as our community of independent brands. From a stitch-your-own initials luggage tag kit to a custom travel print, discover lots of creative and inspiring ways to make their travel gift completely their own.
