Gifts Travelers Want - Under $20
Wallet Ninja Multitool Card
We love useful gadgets. Though the Wallet Ninja is only the size of a credit card, it includes 18 practical tools which makes it very handy on the road.
Use it as a screwdriver, can opener, bottle opener, and even a cell phone stand.
So many of the places we travel are unbearably hot. Having a little fan with us really helps.
There are other portable fans with bigger blades out there. However, this one fits conveniently in a purse or bag. It is chargeable and doubles as a power bank and has a flashlight.
Everywhere we travel we bring a little book with us to record the key details of our day; where we went, what we liked, what we didn’t, and what we spent.
The size and format of this travel journal works perfectly for us. It easily fits in a purse or backpack, and has dedicated space to record the date, location, and weather.
Confession time. I’m a scrapbook junkie. I keep ticket stubs, brochures, stamps, all sorts of travel memories.
Modeled after the scrapbook in Pixar’s movie UP, those who enjoy a rustic, antique look will love it. It even comes with adorable postcards from the movie.
Wound by the movement of the wearer, auto winding watches are great because there is no battery to die out.
To minimize our chances of being a target for pickpockets and other seedy characters on our travels, we prefer understated fashion choices. Lots of bling is a sure-fire way to grab unwanted attention.
This Seiko watch is rugged but classic enough to go with just about anything. At this price point, it’s amazing value.
We can’t be traveling all the time, and we love doing puzzles in our down time.
These Magic Puzzles are among the most unique puzzles we’ve ever done. We don’t want to give away the surprises. What we will tell you is that these puzzles are filled with easter eggs, and just when you think you’re done, there’s more to it.
Bonus, these puzzles are so well crafted, there’s no dust.
Baggallini has made a name for themselves in the travel world for their quality and practicality.
The last thing we want to do when traveling is call unwanted attention to ourselves with flashy expensive items. We love bags like this because they are stylish but discrete.
All the pockets keep everything organized. Plus, at the end of a rough trip, just throw it in the washing machine.
Ever thought about how noisy planes can be? From the drone of the engines to the hum of the air filtration systems, to the chatty co-passengers, it can be hard to hear your music or the inflight movie.
Fortunately it’s possible to drown all those sounds out with some noise cancelling headphones. Settle into your favorite movie or some tunes to while away the hours on your flight.
You can go all out with a pair of Bose headphones; we loved ours. However, when they finally gave up on us, we opted for a pair of SoundCore headphones. They’ve been great and were only a fraction of the cost of a pair of Bose.
A perfect gift for the traveler who combines a bit of bird or animal watching in with their travels.
We have the Celestron Nature 8 x 42 binoculars. They are rugged and the right strength to see far into the distance without the shake of the more powerful binoculars.
Though phones take good photos these days, they still can’t compete with the larger sensors of digital cameras. Especially when it comes to zooming and low-light.
A good camera is a must when traveling. However, few people want to carry a heavy camera with heavy lenses.
With an amazing 125x optical zoom, Nikon’s Coolpix is an all-in-one light-weight point-and-shoot.
We recommend and use these companies to arrange our travel plans; they make travel planning easy and affordable. If you have questions on our experiences, feel free to ask us!
Though we aim for accuracy, travel is an ever-changing world. Please check information with the facility you plan to visit.
