Christmas season is upon everyone and it's never complete without giving gifts to family, friends and loved ones. It can be a daunting task to think of the best gifts, especially if one has a long list and is cramming from all the last minute shopping.
Today's spotlight is on travelers. To make it just a bit easier and less stressful, here are some of the coolest yet affordable gifts one can give for his/her traveler friend.
1. Digital luggage scale
Everyone knows how an overweight luggage can be a pain, not to mention expensive. Prevent any luggage mishap happening upon checking by getting a digital luggage scale.
They do come in all forms, shapes and sizes but Balanzza does a good job at crafting a lightweight scale that can easily be attached to the luggage handle that only costs $17.75.
2. Travel slipper socks
Such gift idea is perfect for both fashion-savvy and comfort-seeking traveler. A pair of travel slipper socks lets anyone walk around the plane or hotel without having to wear one's shoes all the time. Made of 97% polyester and 3% spandex, these socks are made for comfort and come in different colors and styles.
An Anne Klein pair would cost around %16 on Amazon.
3. Handheld tripod
Whether one has a group of traveler friends or just one who always yearn for as many photos of their travels as they can, a handheld tripod is the perfect gift this Christmas.
They will no longer find the need to ask strangers to take their photo, as a handheld tripod is light to carry, convenient to use and could be converted to a standing one as well.
QuikPod has one online for just $24.
4. Traveler adapter
Countries vary in sockets and it can be quite troubling when a traveler has to borrow adapters from hotels or worse, continuously buy the right one in every country s/he would be in.
Getting a 150-country traveler adapter is one of the best gift ideas anyone can think of. Apart from having a built in surge protector, it also comes with a couple of USB ports.
For a price of $34.95, this adapter would go a long way to aid any globe trotter.
