Best gifts for travelers: these travelers gift ideas will impress!
Drone- DJI Mavic 2 Pro Quadcopter
A drone is the #1 best gift for a traveler. It makes the ultimate travel gift for luxury travelers, adventure travelers, family travelers, or anyone who wants to capture breathtaking travel photos and videos. Our drone takes our travel photography and videography to the next level. There’s nothing quite like getting an aerial view of a beautiful destination like Iceland, Bora Bora, or the Maldives. It’s kind of like taking a helicopter tour but without spending thousands of dollars.
We have tried and tested several different drones over the years. We lost our first drone in the Indian ocean while visiting the Maldives, another drone was stolen out of our luggage, and we’ve crashed them into trees in Costa Rica. Our verdict for the best travel drone is the DJI Mavic 2 Pro. It can handle strong wind conditions, takes excellent quality 4K video and photos, has obstacle avoidance systems (so you don’t crash into trees 🤣), long battery life, and folds up for easy storage and transport. This gift is on the pricier side, but whoever receives it will love you forever and hopefully will take you on vacation with them. 😉

AYO Light Therapy Glasses- our secret jet lag cure!
AYO light therapy glasses are one of the most unique travel gifts we’ve seen. We always take our AYO wearables light therapy glasses whenever we are traveling across time zones to help us recover from jet lag. These LED blue light therapy devices help you adjust to a new time zone much faster. You download the app and input your flight information. AYO will provide a schedule of when to wear the glasses to help you recover from jet lag 2-3 times faster than usual. We swear by these LED blue light therapy glasses to beat jet lag. We’ve worn them on flights, on road trips, out sightseeing, and even at home when we need an energy boost or during the dark days of winter.
They also make a great gift for anyone who has seasonal affective disorder or has trouble sleeping. Read our full review of AYO light therapy glasses for more details. These glasses are only for adults, so we recommend melatonin chewables for children to help recover from jet lag.

These glasses would make great gifts for a business traveler, flight attendant, and airline pilot who travel across time zones frequently.
Full-frame DSLR Camera- Canon EOS 6D Mark II
The perfect luxury gift for a traveler is a professional-quality DSLR camera to capture amazing travel photos. We love our full-frame Canon EOS 6D Mark II, which is more affordable than its full-frame competitors. The image quality is superb even for travelers who are not professional photographers. Investing in a good camera will help you capture beautiful photos that are insta worthy to remember your vacations.
Some of the things we love about this DSLR include great performance in all lighting, focus speed and accuracy, lightweight body, long battery life, sharp images, and touchscreen. This camera is equipped with Wifi and allows you to tag your photos with GPS. We love how easy it is to transfer our photos straight to our phones from anywhere with the Wifi feature.
Check the current price for the Canon EOS 6D Mark II Digital SLR Camera here. We recommend getting the Canon EOS 6D Mark II DSLR Camera Bundle with 24-105mm is STM Lens which also includes flash and 19 pieces total if you’re just getting started.
GoPro Hero
Another must-have travelers gift is a GoPro camera. This is essential for the adventure traveler who can attach it to their helmet while cycling, driving in a Polaris Slingshot, ziplining through the jungle or mountains, rock climbing, or riding an ATV. GoPro cameras make great road trip gifts since you can attach it to the window of your car and record your sights along the way. It is our go-to camera for underwater photography and videography. We used it while snorkeling with sharks and stingrays in Bora Bora.
Check the current price on the GoPro HERO9 or opt for the GoPro HERO7 to spend about half the money. See a combo of drone footage and GoPro footage from our stingray tour in Bora Bora.
