Love it or hate it, Valentine’s day is fast approaching. It’s that time of year when you’re supposed to shower your significant other with mushy, sloppy gifts: chocolates, flowers, jewellery a romantic dinner – I could go on and on! But what if your Valentine is a traveller and has no need or desire for such things? What on earth can you buy that they’ll be pleased with and that will actually make it with them on their next trip? Well to give you a helping hand we’ve scoured the internet and chosen our favourite Valentines day useful travel gifts for someone who loves to travel. There are ideas that would be great for everyone and ideas more suited to just him or her.
Just one thing to be aware of…you’ll find no hearts and roses here! As I mentioned in Travel Bloggers’ Most Romantic Destinations, Andy and I don’t have a romantic bone in our bodies! Instead, here are our favourite, useful, (mostly) practical and unique travel gifts that anyone with a case of wanderlust would love to receive! At the right time of year, you could even check out Cyber Monday and Black Friday travel sales and get a bargain in advance.
Valentines Day Useful Travel Gifts
Initially, I was going to separate this post into two sections, travel gifts for him and travel gifts for here. However, it seen became apparent that many of mine and Andy’s favourite travel gifts were actually unisex so I’ve actually just bundled all our ideas in together for you to browse.
1. Hammock
2. E-reader
3. RFID Passport and Document Organiser
4. Action Camera
5. How to Shit Around the World
6. Multi-tool
7. Portable Power Bank
8. Jewellery Organiser
9. Boxer Jocks
10. Travel Towel
11. Water Filter Bottle
You can help this initiative and also encourage responsible travel by purchasing the gift of a great Water-to-Go Bottle.
These bottles provide access to healthy, safe water anywhere in the World whilst offering a reusable, environmentally friendly alternative to single-use plastic water bottles. They have a unique 3-in-1 water filtration system that removes 99.9% of all microbiological contaminants found in water.
We’ve partnered up with Water-to-Go and can offer all our audience a discount of 15% off any Water-to-Go product via the EU website or US website.
To get your 15% discount – just enter the code CTWT15 at the checkout.
12. Hotel Stay or a Flight Ticket
Of course, if money is no object you could always push the boat out and treat your favourite person to a nice hotel stay, a flight ticket, or even better both! Nothing like a surprise trip away to get in the good books!
There are of course many other travel gifts you could buy your travel-loving significant other this Valentine’s day but these are mine and Andy’s top picks. If you’re looking for even more unique travel gifts, here’s our more extensive list of useful travel gifts.
I hope you find something amongst them to put a smile on the face of loved one this Valentine’s day.
What’s the best travel gift you’ve ever received, either for Valentine’s Day or another occasion?

Nice post! Good read. that’s quite a lot of information. Thanks for the post and sharing your experience
particularly useful information for me. I appreciate that you pointed out that.
Number 5 did make me chuckle, a must for any traveller I’d say!
Yes and a fun jokey pressi too 🙂
Love this post, made me smile SO pratical
Haha – you know us Mum 😀 xx
I am always all about flights and hotels as gifts, no matter what occasion. The hammock though sounds like a brilliant idea! To be honest I almost came with one back from Mexico, lol.
I agree, you really can’t go wrong with a flight or hotel and there’s some great deals to be had too 🙂
Ha! I wish I have a valentine who would shower me gift/gifts this Valentines’s. I am more inclined to receive a hotel stay/flight ticket. You know, being a travel junkie like me. Lol! I love that you and your SO are giving practical gifts to each other instead of those fancy chocolates and flowers! I would totally be the same with my partner!
Haha, to be fair with us it’s either
going shopping together (awful) and buying our own stuff or going for a meal or activity somewhere! Can’t stand flowers…although wine I wouldn’t say no to 😀
These are gifts we’d recommend if we did buy gifts and based on items we think would make great gifts! Many we already have ourselves 🙂
So practical – love it! Haha. Hotel stays and/or flight tickets are definitely the winner of this list though!
Thank you…yes I have to agree, for me the flights or hotel would win every time 🙂
