Sometimes it is more fun to give than to receive. Christmas and New Year are almost here, and that means buying the obligatory gifts for family, friends, and your special someone. It is hard to come up with something that really feels thoughtful on a budget. But you can balance affordable with personal.
These gifts should be useful for both travelers and would be-travelers. Find little things that will make their planned trips easier, like a portable power bank, or their everyday just a little more fun, like a box of champagne-infused gummy bears.
We also challenge you to find a gift for a frequent traveler that is very light weight and easy to pack; something cool and creative; your gift recipient is extremely unlikely to already own. The gift can't cost more than US$10.
