The clock is ticking on holiday shopping, and if you haven’t gotten the perfect gift for the globe-trotter on your list, take heed: G Adventures has got you covered. Here are the 2019 picks for the 20 most awesome gifts for travellers.

 

For frugal fliers

1. As luggage fees continue to mount, a luggage scale can help the most thrifty traveller avoid excess baggage costs.

2. Most airlines sell slippers, blankets, and headphones onboard, but these can be costly. A chic, functional pair of airplane slippers will have penny-pinchers reclining with ease and in comfort.

3. A fancy DSLR is pricey, but everyone has a cellphone. A set of cellphone camera lenses will transform any smartphone into a decent real-camera mimic.

4. Remember that bit about the travel slippers? Same goes for travel pillows: it’s always cheaper to bring one than to buy one on-board.

 

 

For the eco-adventurer

1. Plastic water bottles are out of fashion. G Adventures has a collapsable bottle that saves on space (plus it's a solar lantern!). A real environmental two-for-one.

2. Good hygiene on the road is important. Preserve’s travel toothbrushes are made of recycled yogurt cups.

3. Skip the plastic bag with a canvas G Adventures tote.

4. On long trips, a Scrubba allows travellers to do laundry with very little water and soap, thanks to the device’s built-in washboard.

 

 

For the teen traveller

1. Travel selfies are difficult (but essential) work. G Adventures has a phone pop that will help budding globe-trotters capture the perfect shot.

2. Speaking of selfies: There’s nothing worse than getting caught at the most Instagrammable locale with a dead phone battery. Avoid a fiasco with the G Adventures battery bank.

3. Chill out on the beach (or at the campsite, or outside the homestay, or on the mountaintop…) in a super on-trend lay bag.

4. Why sacrifice style on the road? Youngsters can pack stylish extras in an exclusive earring box from the Planeterra Foundation.

 

 

For the wannabe wanderer

1. Travellers who are in the dreaming stages of their next journey across the world can use a scratch wall map for inspiration.

2. There are a few key essentials every traveller should have. One of those is a luggage tag that helps baggage stand out on the conveyor.

3. Jot down a list of journeys to take in a very elegant leather-bound journal (and take it on the road to record your memories, too!).

4. There are few greater sources of inspiration than people who have seen the world for themselves. G Adventures founder Bruce Poon-Tip recalls his own life-changing journeys in his book, Looptail.

 

 

For the VIP voyager

1. Seasoned travellers appreciate a good, sturdy backpack. It helps if it's waterproof!

2. There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. G Adventures has a rain jacket which is compact and lightweight, but high-tech enough to withstand the elements.

3. For the globe-trotter who has everything, luxe Jet Set Candy charms add a bit of flair.

4. Take a trip around the world by flipping through some of National Geographic magazine’s most memorable covers.
