It's never too early to plan your Christmas shopping list. With Thanksgiving just around the corner and the shopping season right behind, start looking now to save yourself some stress in the coming weeks. For the budget travelers on your Christmas shopping list, here are some suggestions on gifts that are functional and/or will help them save money during their travels.
Budget travel gift 1: Philosophy's The Travel Agent
This travel set by Philosophy contains everything that a traveler needs to stay fresh and clean during their travels. There's shampoo, conditioner, facial cleanser, shower gel, and moisturizer. The liquids come in bottles sized for airport travel and are contained in a clear zipper bag. With this set in their luggage, your loved one will not have to run out late at night to purchase full-sized toiletries or purchase overpriced ones from the hotel.
Budget travel gift 2: ExOfficio's Storm Logic Jacket
ExOfficio, which specializes in clothing for the outdoors traveler, sells a jacket that turns into a pillow. The Storm Logic Jacket has lining made with Primaloft One, which absorbs less water and keeps the wearer warmer whether it is dry or wet. Soft and compressible, it can be folded into its built-in stuff sack for an immediate travel pillow. This dual-purpose clothing is especially handy for budget travelers prone to sleeping on trains, buses, and properties with flimsy pillows.
Budget travel gift 3: Seiko Advanced Technology Travel Alarm Clock
This handy Seiko travel alarm is lightweight, folds flat, and automatically sets itself to the correct time worldwide thanks to its R-wave system, which picks up signals for atomic clocks. If by chance the clock is not in range of an atomic signal, the traveler can set the time manually.
Budget travel gift 4: Power Monkey
For the budget traveler who can't resist the urge to stay connected while on the road, get a Power Monkey. The Power Monkey charges a variety of electronic devices such as the iPod, digital camera, Blackberry, and a variety of cell phones. It's advertised to have a power reserve of 40 hours for iPods and 96 hours of standby time for mobile phones. It comes with four adapter plugs, a 110-240v. adapter, and connectors for most phones. It's hard to resist a product with such a cheeky name.
Budget travel gift 5: Steripen Adventure Water Purifier
Ensure that your traveler is hydrated no matter where in the world by gifting the Steripen Adventure Water Purifier. A portable water purifier weighing just four ounces, it uses ultraviolet light to destroy bacteria, viruses, and protozoan. Just turn the pen-like purifier into the water, stick it into the water, and stir until the indicator light turns green. The purifier runs on batteries, with one pair usually treating 40 to 60 liters of water.
Budget travel gift 6: Vapur Anti-Bottle
Say bye-bye to mounds of empty water bottles. You can combine a Steripen Adventure Water Purifier with a couple of Vapur Anti-Bottles. It's a flexible, foldable, and reusable water bottle with a carabiner (metal loop) attached for easy carrying. It's an ideal gift for the eco-conscious and adventurer traveler. Vapur donates a portion of all sales to various environmental causes.
Budget travel gift 7: Travel Gift Cards
If you still don't know what to get that traveler, there's always the reliable standby of gift cards. Consider a Joie de Vivre gift card, good at any of the collection's hotels, restaurants, and spas (many of which are located in San Francisco). Even when it's the day before Christmas, it's not too late to send someone a little surprise as some travel providers, such as BedandBreakfast.com and San Francisco-based Virgin America, can send gift certificates electronically.
