Personalized Scratch-Off World Map
A fun and interactive way for couples to mark off the countries they've visited together, this map serves as both a visual keepsake and an inspiring travel bucket list. Many versions come with gold foil that can be scratched off to reveal bright, colorful countries underneath.
Lonely Planet Books
These large format hardcover books will look great on their coffee table. The couple will love paging through the books to find inspiration for their next travel adventure together or will be able to relive previous trips while looking at the beautiful photography contained within.
Portable Espresso Maker
For the coffee-loving couple, a portable espresso maker lets them enjoy high-quality espresso anywhere in the world. Compact and easy to pack, it’s perfect for road trips, camping, or hotel stays.
Matching Passport Covers and Luggage Tags
A set of stylish, coordinated passport covers and luggage tags can add a personal touch to their travel gear while helping to easily identify their belongings. You can find customizable versions with names or initials.
Tokyo Treat Subscription
As much as we would love to be traveling every day, sometimes we have to be at home. Give the couple on your list a taste of Japan with a subscription to Tokyo Treat. Every month a curated box of international sweet and savory items will arrive at their doorstep. Read our full review of the subscription service. Use code NOWGOSEEIT to save $5 off your first box.
Travel-Themed Board Games
Games like "Trekking the World" or "Ticket to Ride" bring a bit of wanderlust to game night. These travel-themed board games allow couples to strategize and explore the world from the comfort of their home when they’re not out on the road. Small packable-sized games are also a great gift. Playing games can help pass the time when your plane is delayed or on a long train journey.
Multi-Port USB Charger
A multi-port USB charger makes it easy for couples to charge multiple devices at once, whether they’re at the airport or in a hotel room. Look for versions with international plug adapters to make it even more versatile.
NARM Membership
NARM members will receive access to hundreds of world-class museums across the country. The primary membership is tied to a specific museum but the benefits allow visits to all affiliated museums for free. This is a great way to save money while traveling. The added benefit to this gift is that you’re supporting a local cultural institution. Read more about NARM and how to become a member.
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
A small, portable Bluetooth speaker allows them to enjoy music while relaxing on the beach or having a cozy night in at their accommodation. Look for waterproof models with long battery life.
Personalized Travel Prints
Commission a custom illustration of a memorable trip or destination they’ve been to together. Whether it’s their honeymoon location or their first international adventure, a framed print makes for a heartfelt and meaningful gift.
Dual Neck Pillows
Give the gift of comfort with a set of high-quality neck pillows. Look for innovative designs, such as memory foam or ergonomic shapes, to help the couple travel in comfort on long-haul flights or road trips. We prefer inflatable versions to save space in baggage.
We share tips and tricks for credit card points and miles. These tools help us save money on our trips around the world by allowing us to accumulate airline and hotel points.
Lightweight Hammock for Two
Ideal for camping or lounging at a beach, a lightweight, portable hammock for two offers couples a way to relax together while taking in the views. Many are designed to pack down small and come with easy-to-set-up straps.
Packing Cubes Set
Packing cubes help keep luggage organized and make packing (and unpacking) a breeze. A set of coordinating cubes allows couples to divide up their clothing and gear, saving time and space.
Travel-Sized Couples Skincare Set
For couples who care about skincare on the go, a travel-sized set of hydrating products such as face mist, cleanser, and moisturizer can be a great gift. Look for TSA-approved sizes and eco-friendly packaging for added convenience.
Apple AirTags
Apple’s AirTags have become a travel necessity. These tiny pods slide into luggage to track location using GPS. It’s a great tool to find lost baggage, prevent theft, and remind you not to leave an important article behind.
Portable Travel Blanket
A portable, packable travel blanket comes in handy for couples on the go, whether they’re keeping warm in a chilly airplane cabin, having a picnic, or camping. Look for one that’s lightweight, waterproof, and easy to carry.
Global Entry, Clear, or TSA PreCheck Membership
Help make airport security a breeze for the couple by gifting them Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or Clear memberships. These programs expedite the process of going through customs and security, making travel smoother and less stressful. Gift cards are available for Clear memberships. Technically you can’t gift TSA precheck or Global Entry memberships, but you can gift the cash to cover the fees. TSA Precheck costs $78 for a 5-year membership, Global Entry is $120 for a 5-year membership.
Food Tours
If the couple enjoys learning about local cuisine while traveling, a food tour from a service like Viator or Get Your Guide allows them to take a hands-on course together, whether they’re at home or abroad.
