The holidays are almost here! If you have someone on your list who loves to travel, you have come to the right place. I've compiled a list of practical and fun gifts that any travel addict would enjoy.

Miles
Let's start with the best gift you can give a travel lover, points on their favorite travel rewards credit card! Did you know that you can actually buy points for people? There is no better way to gift a travel junkie than to help fund their next flight or hotel. That is guaranteed to make them smile.
Ollo Clip Lens 4 in 1
New adventures turn just about anyone into a shutterbug, and travelers love small, lightweight options for capturing the details. This simple lens clip goes right on the phone, taking quick snaps up to the next level. For the traveler who doesn't carry around a big DSLR, this is a great option!
Scratch the World Map
What a fun way to celebrate all of your adventures! This scratch off map also highlights the many destinations still out there ready to explore.
Cork Globe
Along the same lines as the scratch-off map, this cork globe is perfect for placing pins in places you've been and places you still want to go.
Flat World Necklace
This pretty necklace comes in four different colors and is less than twenty bucks! For the wanderer who wants to literally keep the world close to her/his heart, this is the perfect piece of jewelry.
Kindle Paperwhite
Books are heavy and take up a lot of space. Any frequent traveler needs a small, lightweight option to pack all of the books they want. After accidentally leaving mine on a plane, I bought a new one within a week. The best feature of the Paperwhite is the option to backlight the screen, which is amazing on planes and in hotels that don't always have bed lamps. If your loved one already has a Kindle, purchase some ebooks for them to download!
GoPro Hero5
Especially for the sport adventurer, a GoPro is pivotal for capturing those amazing moments. From skiing to surfing to snorkeling, photos and videos become an easy hands-free option. Plus, they look great! The Hero5 is the newest model, and is waterproof without a case. If this model is above your budget, the Hero4 costs a bit less.
The Claw
This tripod is especially handy for the solo traveler in your life. You can set up more versatile selfies than with a selfie stick. It's lightweight, and the legs are flexible. It's a really fun tool for getting those Instagram-worthy travel selfies!
Anker Charger
This is a perfect stocking-stuffer because it's so small, yet incredibly useful! I use this all the time when I'm traveling to charge my phone! This charger is small enough to carry around every day for when that emergency arrises.
Instant Coffee Packets
This is another great stocking stuffer! For someone who relies on coffee to get going in the morning, these packets are life-savers!
Wet Wipe Singles
Planes are gross, as you probably remember from my interview with a flight attendant. I like to carry one or two of these on every flight to wipe down my tray table completely. This gift is perfect for the frequent flyer who is also a bit of a germaphobe.
BUBM Travel Electronics Organizer
Cables, dongles, and adapters, oh my! This organizer on my list this year because it's time to upgrade from my sloppy Ziplock bag. The traveler who packs any amount of electronics would love something like this to keep everything organized!
Overview
This book is gorgeous. From one of my favorite Instagram accounts, this book turns high-def satellite photos into captivating art. I really love this book.
Atlas Obscura
If this book doesn't spark wanderlust, I don't know what will. Atlas Obscura highlights gems that you have probably never even heard of. For the traveler to loves to get "off of the beaten path", this book offers plenty of bucket list ideas.
Rifle Paper Co. Calendars
It's the time of the year to get your 2017 calendars, and these two options are equally adorable. In 2016, we had the wall version of the maps calendar, and all year loved looking at the hand-drawn maps of places that we have and haven't been.
Travel Coloring Book
Adult coloring books are all the rage right now because of stress relief benefits. This book is perfect for a world traveler!
