Gifts for travel preparation10374319.jpg

The best trips begin before leaving home. From packing to home security, there’s much prep to do to set a vacation up for success.

United Colors of Bennetton Luggage 

You have no idea how many times I’ve plopped my luggage onto the airport scale and realized my bags were overweight. Luckily, United Colors of Bennetton luggage is here to vanquish overweight baggage fees. This suitcase features a built-in scale so your traveller won’t be in for any surprises at the check-in counter.

Is your avid jetsetter constantly worried about home while they’re away? If so, consider getting them the Piper smart security system. Piper offers peace of mind by delivering a balance of security, video monitoring, and home automation. Whether they’re in Belize or Belgium, Piper sends real-time security alerts and offers

remote monitoring from anywhere via a mobile device.

When I’m away on vacation, I’ll get a friend to come over to my place to water the plants and drop off my mail. If your loved one does the same, they’ll most likely benefit from the August Smart Lock. This handy device creates virtual keys for guests, grants access to the right people, and monitors who comes and goes through the home.

Nothing is worse than trying to watch a movie on a flight only to be disrupted by the loud engine. Considered to be the best noise-cancelling headphones on the market, the Bose QuietComfort 25 make an excellent travel companion because they do a phenomenal job of blocking out unwanted noise.

Go Travel Universal Adapter and TP-LINK Power Bank 

Staying connected is extremely important when I’m out exploring new destinations. From checking in with my family to searching directions on Google Maps, I need my smartphone on at all times. The Go Travel universal adapter and TP-LINK power bank make awesome stocking stuffers and ensure your globetrotter’s portable devices stay powered everywhere they go.

Gifts to capture every precious moment

Give the Fuji X-T10 mirrorless camera and I guarantee you’ll be considered the best gift-giver ever. Extremely easy to use, this impressive camera delivers exquisite picture quality thanks to the high sensitivity X-Trans CMOS II sensor. Wi-Fi also wirelessly transfers photos to a smartphone which means your wanderluster can upload their jealousy-inducing photos to Instagram in a flash.

Whether your gift receiver is surfing in Hawaii or skydiving in New Zealand, there’s no better way to capture extreme adventures than with the GoPro HERO4. This action camera captures footage in stunning 4K and comes in a rugged waterproof housing, making it ideal for scuba diving, whitewater rafting, and more.

ASUS Transformer Book 10300848.jpg

More and more travel junkies are getting into blogging, myself included. If your world explorer is interested in starting a blog, think about getting them a convertible laptop like the ASUS Transformer Book. Compact and lightweight, this laptop/tablet hybrid is built for travel. 

Fuji Instax Wireless Photo Printer

Digital pictures are great but there’s no way they can rival physical copies. The ultra-portable Fuji Instax photo printer wirelessly connects to a smartphone or tablet and prints photos right there on the spot. Your nomad will love printing out their favourite snaps or giving tangible keepsakes to new friends they meet on the road.

  

Moleskine 10302401.jpgNotebook

I love technology, I really do, but sometimes you just can’t beat the feel of pen on paper. If your traveller is old school like me, get them a Moleskine notebook. Featuring a sleek hard cover, acid-free paper, and an elastic closure, this notebook is great for journaling and jotting down notes.
