35 Unique Travel Gift Ideas for Her (She’ll Love #8)

Give her a special gift of an experience rather than a material item with a Tinggly gift box. We’re firm believers in having experiences in life rather than possessions, it’s what has led us to this lifestyle and travel blog! Until recently, you could only give her the gift of experience by taking her on an expensive vacation. With the Tinggly gift system, you’re able to send someone a collection of experiences from which to choose.

Travel sheets are really great travel comfort accessories to have if you’re sleeping in hostels or shared accommodation where you don’t trust if the sheets are super clean or not.

We used these when we were younger and didn’t always trust the hostel sheets. We’ve definitely been in situations (and two cases of bed bugs) where we weren’t sure how clean the bedding was and these things give us great peace of mind.

For those who need more than a little shot of espresso in the morning – so no matter what your day entails, you can quench your thirst with this Hydroflask travel mug. No more wasteful paper cups of coffee, although you can really store anything in here that you want. The twist cap makes it entirely leak-proof, so if you’re the kind of person who likes to add flavor packets to water, or sugar to your coffee, you can feel okay about giving this one a dang good shake to mix things up.

I love to travel everywhere with my yoga mats. If your loved one happens to be a yogi know that often when traveling yoga studios can be found. We’ve found places to practice in places like Costa Rica, Bali, and Hawaii. I love traveling with my Manduka travel mat when I just want to do a couple of quick stretches.

If the person you are getting a travel gift for loves coffee you need to get them a subscription to Atlas Coffee Club. I just recently found out about Atlas Coffee Club and had a bag sent to me as soon as possible. Atlas Coffee Club is an affordable subscription service for coffee. Every month a new bag of beans is sent out from somewhere around the world along with a postcard and of course a very fun and beautiful bag.

Many women love to travel with an array of makeup. Without proper organization, their bag can quickly descend into chaos. Life is much easier for travelers when it organized.

This is for all the solo female travelers out there and is one of the most important gifts for women on this list. It’s a security door stop. The Sabre HS-DSA is easy to set up and can be placed under the door before going to sleep. If someone tries to enter your room in the night the device will stop the door from opening and let our a loud alarm. A 120 DB alarm will be sure to wake you and everyone else up.

A portable jewelry box is a staple to my travel packing list. It’s a great travel gift for women as it’s something that is easily overlooked until it’s too late. It’s easy to break necklace chains or loose earrings in your suitcase or backpack.

This is one of my favorite travel gifts ideas for her. The infinity scarf not only looks great, but holds important belongings actually inside the scarf. No more passports and credit cards in the purse, but instead safely around the neck in a stylish way.

Crossing the globe means that often you’ll find appliances do not work due to changing voltages. So, despite packing a bulky hair straightener it may not work abroad.

One of the best travel gifts for women who always love to keep their hair done is a travel straightener.  The key to buying the right straightening iron or appliance is that has the capacity for dual currents from 100v up to 240v.

Another gift for world travelers is a travel tote. Hershal makes some fantastic weekender and overnight bags. It would be hard to write a list of the best travel totes and not include an option from Herschel, given both their popularity and the durability of their products. Their Strand Tote is a perfect example of a bag with all the elements you need as a seasoned traveler. It’s even large enough for those overnight trips – whether you’re an hour’s drive from home or taking a train ride halfway across a European country.

As we get older we’re slowly becoming hippies. We love using Lush products as they do not use hard chemicals, test products on animals, and offer a plethora of organic products.

They have an awesome company ethos and we’ve never walked into one of their stores and been met with a frowning face. Of particular use to travelers are their shampoo bars, face washes, and fragrances. Lush makes really great eco products for her.

A roomy 40L bag, individual removable organization panels, headphone and charger cord pass-throughs, magnetic snap-back side pockets, and backpack to briefcase versatility, it really does seem like they have thought of everything. 

For those that want a bit more style to their luggage and travel, I would highly recommend checking out Mia Toro. Mia Toro curates Italian designed luggage pieces. Check out their website and you’ll see all the amazing artwork on there to choose from. I recently went with their Joao Wood Zebra hard side spinner, because we have a deep connection to Africa.

I always travel with at least one outfit that I consider my “pajamas.” Something that I can lounge around in on days when I feel like not doing anything. This usually consists of comfortable pants, relaxed T, and hoody.

There’s nothing like a good trench coat, and when you combine that with waterproof fabric, you’re left with a rain jacket that boasts double the awesome. Plus, with all the added features this jacket can offer, surprise rainfall is no big deal. Some of the features included making this option a no-brainer for our list of best lightweight travel jackets.

I always travel with yoga pants, sports bras, and breathable tank tops. One of my favorite brands to buy yoga pants from is Yoga Democracy. Yoga Democracy carries yoga pants that have fun designs, yet they are still extremely durable. All their gear is made from recycled nylon from material like a fishing net that damages our oceans.

It’s estimated that there over 600,000 tonnes of this fishing net litter is going into our oceans, so wearing Yoga Democracy is choosing to fight against that. They are eco-friendly, USA made, and sweatshop free! Use the code TWP20 for 20% off your purchase. 

Both Cameron and I have Fjallraven’s well known Keb pants. Fjallraven’s Keb pants are a mountaineering staple, but they are heavyweight and not excellent for quick dry properties yet extremely durable. I’ve been asked numerous times on Instagram and in person what brand my pants are, and I feel confident recommending them to anyone. They are seriously SO GOOD.

We were on a three-month snowboard trip last winter and I wore the Patagonia Better Sweater in the photo below every day. Guess what? It still looks and feels amazing, after I washed the smell out of it of course. Their fleeces like these keep me warm and comfortable in the fall and winter. We prefer the quarter zip as it fits a little more snug!

I’ve said it before (okay, I’ve mentioned it all over this site), but I’ll mention it again. Rainbow Sandals are my absolute favorite flip flops in the world. The first time I picked up a pair was in college. I was hesitant to spend $50 on a pair of flip-flops, but all the beach kids raved about them so I went out and reluctantly purchased a pair.

Teva’s and Chacos are my go to travel sandals. They are great for getting outside and even a light hike. I love that their footbed molds to your foot over time and features durable strapping over your toes and ankles.

I’ve actually worn both Tevas and Chacos quite a bit while hiking around the Canadian Rockies and they are perfect! Of course, you probably don’t need both Teva’s and Chaco’s so see my comparison post here.

If you’re shopping for a new pair of travel shoes, likely, you’ve already come across Allbirds on the internet. They’ve billed themselves as the most comfortable shoes in the world, made to fight odor, be worn without socks, and generally handle the demands of travel exceptionally. Those are all some tall claims – I knew I had to have some.

If I’m traveling anytime besides summer you can bet there’s a down jacket in my bag. Packable down jackets are well fitted, warm, have a good shell weight, and are comfortable. However, their most favorable aspect is their portability and just how lightweight and packable they are.

I don’t travel without a shell jacket. They are so easy and light to pack up there is no reason to not have one in your suitcase just in case!

My rain jacket has come in handy so many times. Many places where it wasn’t supposed to rain and completely unexpected. The Arcteryx is waterproof, windproof, and breathable and made with Goretex Pro. It’s not just good for traveling and rainstorms but is a protective shell against all levels of weather.

I could probably count on two hands the number of times I wear a regular bra in a year. I usually live in sports bras because they are comfortable and keep me motivated to stay active. No matter what kind of bra lover you are there should always be at least one sports bra in your bag, they are an essential women’s travel clothing item.

While I have tried many throughout the years and have found Title Nine among some of the most supportive and reasonably priced. They have a ton of different styles for all shapes and sizes. All their pieces are supportive, stylish, and durable.

I travel everywhere with a Buff because it pulls my hair back when it looks like crap, keeps the sweat out of my face, and also protects from the sun. They are one of the best travel accessories for women (and men!).

If I’m traveling in the fall or winter there is at least one flannel in my bag. Flannels make for great travel clothes because they are comfortable, warm, and can be worn several times without the need for a wash. Also, in the right setting, they look and feel right at home.

Coalatree creates eco-focused outdoor apparel that we’re learning to love. As far as comfort these are the best on this list and the only drawback is the price. They’re made out of a lightweight material that is a blend of Bluesign Nylon and spandex.

They’re super comfortable and the combination of nylon and spandex allows for them to stretch in any way that you can move. The drawstring makes for an easy adjustment and the spandex does a good job of hugging your hips.

My all time favorite vest is made by Kuhl. It’s good to go in any outdoor adventure. Whether that’s on the slops are hiking around the wilderness it looks and feels amazing. Seriously, out of all the outdoor vests I own this is by far the most stylish. It’s a great adventure gift for women!

If my all-time favorite vest is made by Kuhl you can bet what fleece I love. The Kuhl Flight jacket is as plush as it gets. Super comfortable year-round and feels just like you’re snuggling up with a sheep. It has a pull out the hood, and looks stylish in any outdoor setting.

I listen to music and podcasts all the time when I travel and having a solid pair of wireless headphones has made traveling that much more enjoyable.

While I’ve tried several different headphones varieties over the years Sennheiser and Bose have made some of my favorites. For the active user, the CX685 is a great earbud as they’re washable, remain in your ear, and sound great. Check out our travel music playlist for more!

Bet this useful travel accessory is one you haven’t thought about. Just because we are traveling doesn’t mean we like to fall behind on our shows and movies.

We have traveled for three years now with a Google Chromecast and Roku Express and it seriously makes Airbnb’s and hotel rooms so.much.better. We just plug in the streaming device to any TV when we travel and Voila – Netflix!

The Kindle transformed the way we read books and now accounts for more than 50% of all book sales in the U.S. It’s the most convenient piece of technology for travelers. The Kindle takes up less space than a regular book and can store thousands.

We also love the non-backlit screen as it’s easy on our eyes and not like reading on an LCD screen. We recommend opting for the standard Kindle Paperwhite over the Fire. However, if you’re looking for a reasonably priced tablet it’s hard to argue with the appeal of the Kindle Fire.

This definitely isn’t a budget camera, but if you are looking to spend some money on great women’s travel gifts consider the Fuji camera series. We just upgraded to the Fuji XT3 and it is beautiful weather-resistant and mirrorless. It is easily the best ASP-C camera on the market and gives a serious run at many of the full-frame cameras. After all, is a full-frame camera really a necessity? In my opinion, not at all!
