ThisĀ Scratch-Off Map of the WorldĀ is a perfect gift for world travelers. It also includes the flags of each country visited. Kids love scratching off the places they've been.
Travel Journal
Even in this digital age, as a digital creator, I still love old-fashioned pencil and paper (I am partial to #2 pencils with erasers). There is something special about writing your memories on paper and documenting your finds. Price range: $10-50
Our girls counted the bison and bears in Yellowstone National Park, waterfalls and bears in the Smoky Mountains, twists and turns through the Black Hills, mules in the Grand Canyon, and reptiles in the Badlands. This National Parks Travel Journal is a beautiful keepsake. Bonus: A portion of each purchase is donated to the National Parks Foundation!
Our family LOVES nature travel! We visit State Parks, waterfalls, wildlife, rivers, forests, and mountains on our getaways. This Nature Journal is perfect for outdoor adventures.
This Travel Journal, with stickers, is perfect for any adventure.
This Kids' Travel Journal offers writing prompts and games for children.
Pens, Pencils and Markers
These are my favorite go-to pens for trips. Price range: $2-25 (depending on quantity).
For quick labeling as a busy mom, I always carry these Sharpies in my purse. It's handy for marking sandwich bags during picnics, cups in hotel rooms, paper lunch sacks for snacks or collectibles, water bottles, tickets, and more. These Sharpies are my preferred choice because they are easy to use ā no need to worry about losing a cap, just click and write.
I truly appreciate using a traditional #2 pencil. They are excellent, not only for keeping a journal but also for playing games during road trips and creating lists.
Buy a set of pens with a stylus for the entire family. Each person chooses a color and you will know whose pen is whose.
Travel First Aid Kit
I am a Gold Award Girl Scout, and that means I know it's important to always be prepared. If you've traveled with me before (family, friends, troops, and groups I've led), you know I never leave without a First Aid Kit. My daughters keep them in their cars and have mini-versions in their backpacks. I keep a large complete set in my vehicle, always have bandaids, sanitizing wipes, and NeosporinĀ in my purse, and take small kits on the go. Price range: $10-50
I love this small travel first-aid kit for quick jaunts (think places with easy access to more care if needed). This kit comes in many designs, but the nature lover in me is partial to the woodland pattern.
This large First Aid Kit is the one we keep in our vehicles, take camping, and have on hand for larger emergencies.
Kindle Unlimited Subscription
Friends know I have a library addiction, but it is nice to not worry about lost books on trips. Currently running introductory offers, typically $12/month.
The Kindle Unlimited Subscription is a great gift for the traveler in your life. With unlimited reading, unlimited listening, and access to your account from any device, Kindle is the way to go for travelers. Plus, they can easily access guidebooks wherever they may be.
Personalized Water Bottles
For a special gift for the adventurer in your life consider a custom water bottle! Price range $20-50.
You can personalize it with names, phrases, nicknames, or beloved quotes to make it extra special.
Travel Table Topics
I love love love getting to know people! My children accuse me of interviewing people in line at the grocery store - they might be right. ;) And, I love the Table Topics brand. We keep their tabletop games around the house for easy conversation starters. Price range $10-30.
Travel Table Topics To Go easily fits in a purse or glove box. These conversation-starter questions are a great way to get to know the family better on trips.
Travel Games
We are a game-playing family (more about that in other posts). I pack travel trivia games, word games, and more on every road trip. Price range: $5-25.
Trivial Pursuit, card games like UNO, Skip-Bo, Phase 10, and Sushi Go in Tins, and Family Feud are favorites for our family on road trips.

For travelers, being able to stay connected while on the move is crucial, especially if they have to keep in contact with work or family during their absence. Price range $10-200.
The GlocalMe U3 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Device, offers a portable WiFi Hotspot for travel in 200+ Countries. No SIM Card Needed, 10 Connected Devices and Global 1GB Data 30 Days.

If your family is like ours, keeping track of phone chargers is a chore in itself. "Whose charger is this?" is a frequent question on trips. These Personalized Monogrammed Phone ChargersĀ are the perfect solution. Choose from a variety of designs and customize the chargers for each family member.
I have trouble sleeping, especially in new places, so this portable Bluetooth Pillow Speaker is my go-to for audiobooks and podcasts on trips.
