15 Best Travel Gifts Under £30
For the Traveller Who Loves Reliving Their Greatest Adventures
They say, "a picture is worth a thousand words", and when it comes to travel photos, that couldn’t be more true. Every snapshot tells a story—of adventures, cultures, and unforgettable moments.
That’s why this gorgeous personalised scrapbook is such a fab gift idea for the travel lover in your life. Made from top-quality materials, it’s the perfect way for them to showcase all their favourite travel snaps and memories. It’s not just a scrapbook; it’s a collection of all their greatest adventures that they can keep flipping through for years to come. It's a truly thoughtful way to relive the magic of travel!
For the Traveller About to Embark on Their First Adventure
This Explorer Bracelet is well under the £30 mark, but it’s so cute I couldn’t resist including it! It’s fully adjustable to fit any wrist and features a lovely heart-shaped globe—ideal for any travel lover!
Pair it with a few other goodies from this list, and you've got yourself a gorgeous gift bundle that’s sure to make any globetrotter smile. It’s the perfect little reminder to get out there and seize the world!
For the Traveller Who Loves Collecting Memories Everywhere They Go
If your favourite traveller loves collecting all those little mementoes from their trips, this travel memory box is the perfect gift! It gives them a stylish place to store everything from tickets and receipts to foreign currency—and even their passport—so they don’t have to hide them away in a dusty drawer anymore.
Once it’s filled with all their precious keepsakes, they can hang it on the wall or pop it on a shelf, turning their memories into a lovely display. It’s a great way for them to keep their adventures close by, always ready to remind them of the amazing journeys they’ve had!
For the Traveller Who Wants to Keep Their Most Important Possessions Safe
This passport holder and luggage tag set is the perfect mix of practicality and style—ideal for any traveller! Passports are a traveller's most important possession, holding all those stamps and visas from the places they’ve explored. So, a passport holder is a must to keep it safe from wear and tear.
And let’s be honest, there’s nothing worse than standing at the baggage claim, watching a sea of identical bags come down the conveyor belt and not knowing which one is yours. A personalised luggage tag will help your recipient spot their bag straight away and make airport life a little less stressful. Trust me, they’ll thank you for this one!
For the Traveller Who’s Always Looking For New Places to Visit
Why not set your travel-loving friend a challenge to tick off the 100 most beautiful places around the world? With this scratch-off poster, every time they visit a new destination, they can scratch it off to reveal a vibrant picture. Not only does it make a fun travel goal, but it also doubles as cool artwork to proudly display once they’ve visited all the stunning spots.
This is just one of several travel-themed posters available. If you fancy something a little closer to home, there’s also the Top 100 Things to Do in the UK poster. Perfect for inspiring their next adventure, wherever it may be!
For the Traveller Who’s Been on the Most Epic Trip
Ever had an adventure with your travel buddy that’s so memorable you still talk about it years later? If so, this customisable travel map is the perfect gift!
You can map out the exact route you took, from start to finish, including all the epic stops along the way. It’s a beautiful way for your travel buddy to relive the journey every time they look at it. They can hang it up with pride in their home, and it’ll be a constant reminder of all the amazing memories you shared together on that unforgettable trip!
For the Traveller Who Loves Showing Off Everywhere They’ve Been
Every travel addict needs a scratch map—it’s an absolute must-have! This fun and sentimental gift lets them scratch off all the places they’ve explored around the world. It’s a great way for them to proudly show off their travels. Trust me, they’ll absolutely love it!
If you’re after something a bit sturdier, a pinboard map is a brilliant alternative (though it might stretch past the £30 budget). The bonus of the pinboard map is you can personalise it with their name and add photos alongside the country pins for a truly unique keepsake. Either way, you’re gifting them a daily reminder of all the amazing trips they’ve had—and the ones still to come!
For the Traveller Who Needs To Save For Their Next Adventure
Give your savings (or someone else’s) a travel-inspired twist with this adorable travel fund jar! It’s the perfect way to motivate the traveller in your life to start saving for their next big adventure. You can make it extra special by personalising the jar and choosing a colour that suits their style.
Want to make it even more motivational? Add £1 to the jar to kick things off, then challenge them to a 52-week saving plan. In week two, they’ll pop in £2, week three gets £3, and so on, until they’re saving £52 in the final week. By the end of the year, they’ll have a tidy £1378 stashed away—plenty to book an epic holiday! Proof that small steps really do add up to something big!
For the Traveller Who Wants a Place to Document Their Experiences
A journal makes the perfect gift for any traveller looking to document their journeys and experiences. Whoever you gift this to will have a beautiful keepsake to look back on in a few years, allowing them to reminisce about the incredible trips they've taken!
Inside, the journal is packed with features to inspire their travels. There’s a travel destination bucket list, a mood board, and for each place, a dedicated planning section with a detailed itinerary, packing list, and memory section to record all the important trip details. With space for up to 30 destinations, this travel journal has enough room to capture plenty of adventures—a gift that will last them a while!
For the Traveller Who Loves Stepping Outside Their Comfort Zone
If you're shopping for a travel lover who thrives on a challenge, this gift is a must-buy! The travel challenge set is designed to push them out of their comfort zone, allowing them to get the most out of their adventures. Plus, it's a great conversation starter and small enough to fit into any luggage.
Inside the pack, you'll find 50 cards, each with a unique challenge to complete that day. From exploring their new destination to getting to know the locals, these challenges are perfect for sparking new friendships and unforgettable experiences. It’s the kind of gift that will make their travels even more exciting and memorable!
For the Traveller Who’s Always in Need of Inspiration
Lonely Planet is one of the top travel brands around, offering brilliant insights into some of the most amazing destinations worldwide.
The Lonely Planet Dream Trips of the World book makes the perfect gift for any travel lover – packed with inspiration for their next big adventure! Or, if they’ve already booked a trip to a specific place, why not gift them a Lonely Planet guide for that country? It’s the ultimate way to help them dive deeper into their destination and make the most of every moment!
For the Traveller Who Deserves a Stunning Piece of Travel-Inspired Jewellery
Gift this delicate world map and compass necklace to the travel lover in your life, so they can wear the world with pride as they explore new places. Whether they’re into gold or silver jewellery, this necklace comes in both options, so it’s perfect for any style.
I actually received one of these necklaces for my birthday, and I wear it every day because it goes with literally everything! Plus, it catches people's attention, so it's always a great conversation starter when you're chatting about your latest adventures. It’s one of those gifts that’s as stylish as it is meaningful!
For the Traveller Who Loves the Thrill of Surprise Destinations
If you’re lucky enough to live near an international airport where there are a multitude of airlines and destinations to choose from, why not book some super cheap flights under £30 to a random destination for you and your travel buddy? This really is the ultimate adventurous surprise!
Check out these top tips for finding and booking cheap flights using Skyscanner—they’ll help you snag some budget-friendly airfares! Once you’ve booked the tickets, surprise your travel partner with a personalised scratch-off boarding pass. It’s a cute, creative way to reveal the trip and crank up the excitement for your next adventure together!
For the Traveller Who Loves Planning Their Own Adventures
I know, I know—at first glance, a travel gift card might not seem all that exciting. But hear me out: travel can cost a small fortune, even when you're trying to do it on a budget!
If the travel-lover in your life always books their stays with companies like Airbnb, Trailfinders, G Adventures, or Booking.com, why not grab them a gift card for one of these sites? It’ll help them save towards that dream trip, and trust me, they’ll be super grateful for the thoughtfulness (and the practicality!) behind it. It’s a gift that keeps on giving—one step closer to their next big adventure!
For the Traveller Who's Already Got Their Next Adventure Sorted
Got a friend who's already booked their holiday or gearing up for an overseas adventure? Why not treat them to something special at their destination, like a guided walking tour, a delicious food-tasting tour, or, if they are an adrenaline junkie – a scuba diving experience or a hot air balloon ride. It’s a great way to make their trip even more memorable!
If you’re wondering where to find these experiences, I’d definitely recommend GetYourGuide or Viator. Both have a fab selection of unique, off-the-beaten-path activities that’ll make your gift stand out. Whether it’s an unforgettable adventure or a relaxing local experience, you’ll find something to make their journey extra special!
