As ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ approaches many of us immediately start creating plans to celebrate the festive season and with the spirit of giving comes the Christmas wishlists. I don’t know about you, but every year it becomes harder and harder to gift something that will be truly appreciated by the recipient. With that in mind, it is my hope that my travellers wishlist will help you pick out the perfect gift for any travel lover in your life!

Sustainable Travel Gear
As the world takes steps to reduce its carbon footprint in aid to tackle global warming, one of the smallest contributions we can make is to invest in more sustainable items. You can become an eco-conscious traveller by using items such as reusable straws, eco-friendly shopping bags, reusable make up pads and shampoo bars rather than bottles – just to name a few!

Power Up!
Keeping phones and cameras charged are typically high priority for any traveller. There have been multiple occasions where there have just not been enough sockets in a hotel room to charge all devices (say you and a friend had a phone and camera each plus any other items that might need a power outlet!) This is when a multi-port USB universal charger would save the day and need I say that power banks can be an everyday life saver?!

Travel Themed Stationary
Having a note book and pen to note down all my adventures from each trip has helped me to provide more in-depth snippets of each experience, but travel themed stationary can be anything from luggage tags, scrapbooking materials, keyrings, diaries and of course that essential face mask! Don’t forget to add that special touch of personalisation if your budget allows!
