There’s always one person in the family that would rather be staring at a map than talk to the rest of the family during the holidays. Wanderlust is a real thing, and those who are diagnosed with this issue understand that nothing will cure their sense of adventure like a freshly-bought plane ticket. The good news is that there’s plenty of affordable gifts for those travel-obsessed family members. Check out the list below for the best gift for the traveler in your family:
OTTERBOX RESURGENCE PHONE CASE
Let’s face it; traveling the world has become a lot more accessible now that smartphones are around. Although traveling may be easier to book, capture and share, there’s one thing that is still the same- the actual physical travel part. And travel can be hard on technology, especially if you do not have the proper protection. The Otterbox Resurgence phone case is a complete game changer for every traveler who likes to spend time away from the charger and out in the wild. Features include: 2x the amount of battery, military-rated protection, no breakage, and sleek design.
DUFFLER BAG
Just like our travels, the Duffler bag is all about telling a story. And what a story a piece of luggage could tell. With a long list of features and made with top-of-the-line fabrics, the Duffler bag aims to keep travel easy without losing style.
Additional accessories like ‘The Beacon’ can be purchased with your bag to keep track of your bag’s travels. Sync the Beacon with the company’s app and the Beacon will send your phone an alarm if you’re bag is being taken without your permission. The app also keeps track of your adventures you’ve accomplished. You have the chance to collect hand-made Duffler badges that can be put on the outside of your bag, showing the world where you’ve been.
This company doesn’t stop there; they even give back. Duffler has teamed up with the NGO ‘THISWORLDEXISTS’ to help give education to those in need. €30 from their THIS- WORLDEXISTS bags go towards this incredible organization. Features include: Ample pockets inside to keep things organized, brass zippers/padded long strap, and outside zipped pocket/ Durable material and a beautiful design.

IKEA 3 OZ. TRAVEL BOTTLES
FSA approved travel bottles are the easiest and budget-friendly gift option you can give for this holiday season.

Hair gel, shampoo, body wash, lotion, Q-tips, etc. There’s a million and one ways to use these little guys and they cost pennies!
Buy a few packs and pair them with a travel document holder or travel journal and you have one thought out travel-inspired gift! Features include: FSA approved size bottles, comes in 4 different colors, can be recycled, and the top cap closes to ensure no leakage
