  1. So many great choices – I know that everyone would be happy getting these gifts! It’s always so hard to shop for certain people, so I love holiday gift guides that give me great suggestions, like this one! I can vouch for the Gorilla Pod – I have one of those and they’re great!

  2. These are perfect Christmas gift ideas for the avid travelers. My birthday is approaching and i should share it with my friends and husband. The iPhone lens kit is what i really need to buy.

  3. These are some really good gift suggestions with Christmas just around the corner. Will help in making my choices. The attachable lens for iphone is something I liked, in fact have actually ordered them a couple of days back. Some of the other items, I wish some one would gift them to me 🙂

  4. I hope someone gifts me all those… he he…
    Especially it will be great if someone buys me all those big cameras and lenses that I can’t afford myself. But to be honest, I don’t see it happening 🙁

    Of the things you haev listed, I think the gorillapod is pretty useful.

  5. Love this time of year because I can go “window shopping” through everyone’s gift guides and get ideas! I love the idea of the JOBY – I’ve just recently upgraded to a DSLR and ocould do with a travel friendly tripod. I’ve become a bit fan of a HDR feature on the camera which takes two shots and combines them for the best lighting, but you have to keep the camera super still otherwise it’s blurry. So I need to invest in a tripod … or leave your link open on my computer on my husband’s desk before Christmas!!

  6. All the ones listed under photography are great choices. I was looking for such options for a cousin and now I know just what to get for him. The Scrubba Portable Laundry Wash Bag is so useful too.

  7. Definitely good timing for a traveler’s Christmas list. I have been intrigued by those iPhone camera lenses. Do they really work? I like the addition of the travel insurance as well. Something that most people should do before hitting the road.

  8. This list is just great. I was looking at getting a zoom lens for my smartphone. Oh, and I do want the amazon gift card. I got the scratch map as a birthday gift and I love it.

  9. I want a soap sheet it’s so cute and handy haha! I mean you could just use it to wash your hands whenever there is a sink nearby. LIke before eating and after! You can also use it for bathing! Even washing? 😀 So handy! Of course, a powerbank!

  10. I’ve been hinting to my family to bring me some of these things, by sharing such posts with them LOL. I could really do with a JOBY Gorillapod SLR Zoom Tripod, it’s the perfect thing for me right now. Hopefully a family member is reading 😉

  11. That’s a great list! I have a few of them already (laundry bag, soap sheet, power bank, scratch map…) and like them a lot! I’d add to the list a foldable water resistant backpack: it doesn’t take space inside the suitcase and it’s awesome to have a small backpack when you need one 🙂 I had never seen the ostrich pillow. I cannot believe it actually exists, I thought you put it there as a joke first but well… I clicked and saw it was an actual product. I don’t think I could ever sleep wearing this: I’d think everybody would be watching me ahahah

  12. Oh! Love your list.. I love the idea of having the ostrich pillow and that amazon prime. It’ll be great to have a wide variety of books, shows and music to spend on spare time while on the road.. 🙂 Will definitely show this to my husband for hints! hahah.

  13. That’s a great list for gifts for travelers. I can do with some photography accessories both for my cameras and GoPro. They are so accessory hungry things. Practically speaking, Amazon gift cards is a great idea – it allows people to choose their gifts though it takes away the surprise element that we all love to our gifts wrapped in.

  14. Perfect timing, just before Christmas. 🙂 There are a lot of useful things on your list, but the Scratch the World map looks so amusing! That would be interesting to have. There’s probably no way to go wrong with it if the person loves to travel, right. 😉
