After thorough research and many discussions with lots of women who travel a lot, I’ve compiled a list of gifts, which I categorized by price and ordered from most to least expensive so that you can quickly scroll through.
I’ve included many cool things, so don’t be surprised if you even end up buying something for yourself! Let’s start shopping!
Quick Picks for Your Stay
Here are some of the best travel gifts for women:
- Noise-canceling headphones
- Instant camera
- Travel gift card
From US$50 and up
If you’re looking for a special and more pricey gift, here are some of the best ones, which I listed from most to least expensive:
1. Noise-canceling headphones
Is traveling around the world even possible without headphones, especially noise-canceling ones? I mean it’s possible but it’s definitely more fun to listen to anything you want, without being disrupted by all the noise! They’re also great if you struggle with travel anxiety, perfect for blocking out the world!
If you’re looking for some fab noise-canceling headphones, here are some of my favorites that would make the ultimate gift for your friend:
2. Gift card for a trip
Maybe your friend doesn’t care about material things and all she wishes for is more travel experiences! If that’s the case, then a gift card she can use on her trips will make her super happy!
Here are some of the best gift cards that you can offer someone who travels a lot:
- Airline gift card
- A day at the spa (maybe in the hotel she’s staying or at a spa in the town she’s in)
- A tour or experience in the place she’s in (you can find some amazing ones on Viator and GetYourGuide)
- Lounge Pass – Priority Pass
- Airbnb Gift Card
- National Parks annual passes or tickets
- Sky Resort gift cards
PRO TIP: Make sure you consider her interests and what she likes to do while on holiday when buying these gift cards. You can look on her Instagram to see what type of activities she enjoys, or ask some of her friends if you’re not that close to her.
3. Go Pro or a Mirrorless camera
Looking for a more special gift? A GoPro camera or a Mirrorless camera would definitely make whoever is receiving them super happy! Now they can immortalize each moment and also create some bomb pics for their social media, websites, etc!
NOTE: If you’re looking for a fab mirrorless camera, I highly recommend the Fujifilm X-S10. It’s the one I have and the photos and videos turn out amazing!
4. Kindle or reMarkable
A Kindle is a blessing for any avid reader who can’t fit all their beloved books in their bags! If your friend loves reading and always complains that she has way too many books to carry around on holiday, then this will be the perfect gift for her.
Another great gadget, a bit different from Kindle, is reMarkable, a tablet that you can use to take notes, read and review documents. You can also connect to your other smart devices and transfer any docs or notes onto your other gadgets. Perfect for gals on the go.
5. Instant Camera
The perfect travel gift for women does not exis… oh yes it does! This instant camera will become your friend’s favorite travel item! She can now capture all those moments from trips that she’ll always want to remember!
6. Travel steamer
Is your friend someone who loves her clothes looking perfectly neat and ironed, especially when traveling? Then she’ll love this small, portable steamer that she can fit in her luggage!
From US$20 to US$40
This section has gifts at a more mid-range price, all ordered from most to least expensive:
1. Aeropress coffee maker
I swear by my Aeropress, especially when going hiking, camping by the beach or even traveling to other countries. If your friend loves coffee, then she’ll definitely appreciate this Aeropress coffee maker!
2. Air Fly

The best way to help your friend keep track of her items from luggage to smaller bags while on holiday! The AirTag works only for iOS and she’ll need to have the Find My Phone activated so she can track her items.
But there are other options on the market, here’s a version that works both for Android and iPhone.

A great gift for your girlfriend if you’re in a long-distance relationship (or even friendship)! This necklace has a cute coin with different states which are connected by an arrow and heart! So cute!
