The Festive season is upon us and either you’re couple or you know one, this is a perfect list of gifts for couples who travel. Being a couple traveler myself, I began researching what could I possibly gift my husband this Christmas. Honestly, the amount of ideas out there, got me so confused. I thought why not narrow it down and short list a few and share it with you guys. Some of these are for couples, some are for him and some for her. I hope this helps you decide what you’d like to give or receive this Christmas!
So lets begin the list –
1. Scratch The World Travel Map
I believe every traveler m must have a map like these. It’s probably the best selling map in the world. Not sure about gifting it to my husband, but i secretly wish, he gifted this to me. It’s one of the perfect gifts for couples who travel the world. Scratching off every country or city after visiting it, must be the most satisfying feeling ever!
2. A Personalized Light Box
This my favorite and most ideal gift this Christmas. It’s perfect for the occasion and its unique for each couple as all our stories are so different from one another. A Personalized Light Box, with your unique storyline is a one-of-a-kind gift you can possible give. You can add simple milestones such as the date you met for the first time, your first kiss, when you moved in together or got married, your honeymoon etc.
3. Cosori Air Fryer Max XL 5.8 QT Electric Hot Oven
Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s etc. all festivities have one thing in common – Great Food! My husband is big on nutrition and health etc. So I thought this would be a perfect gift for him. Although, this isn’t something you can travel with, its definitely something I wanted to put on this list as an ideal gift for couples.
4. Arkmiido Wicker Picnic Basket
Given the current situation, many travelers have been exploring their own country. I am no different. The weather in UAE is just getting better by the day. And the season of picnics, camping and BBQs are upon us. Keeping that in mind, this picnic basket is a very useful gift this year. I have never owned a picnic basket before, so I would be super excited, if my husband gifted me this! It comes with all the essentials like plates and cutleries and also a wine bottle opener. It’s everything I want.
5. Custom Travel Maps
My favorite Travel Vloggers, Kara & Nate, just launched their passion project, Atlas.co. Their goal is to help you display memories of your favorite locations and trips as a beautiful wall art. Christmas or not, I am definitely purchasing one of their maps, showcasing my most cherished trip, my honeymoon to New Zealand! I encourage you to go check this out. Its one of the best gifts for couples who travel.

6. Softest Blanket in the World
Do you like to snuggle with your partner? I do! It may take up some space in your suitcase, but it is the best thing you can carry with you on your trip. Whether or not its winter, I am always cold and this is the perfect excuse to wrap this around my husband and myself. I can just imagine, having wine, some popcorn, watching netflix, wrapped around in this blanket, cuddled with my husband. Ah, pure bliss!
7. CleanPod UVC Sterilizer
Given the current scenario, it is essential to carry some sort of sanitizer for all surfaces. However, the sanitizing sprays are so strong in smell and cause me an allergic reaction. I was looking for something with less or no chemicals at all. Luckily, I came across this sterilizer online and read its reviews etc. It seemed like the perfect replacement of those spray sanitizers. CleanPod is an essential tool in protecting yourself against the invisible germs lurking on all the objects you touch at home or outside. With a press of a button, a high-energy beam of UVC (ultraviolet C) light is emitted from the specialized LEDs, effectively sanitizing surfaces without the use of chemicals.
8. Talk. Flirt. Dare.
If you follow me on Instagram or Youtube, you will know how goofy me and husband are together. This is my all time favorite game. Whether its a staycation or a lockdown, this game is the best way to enjoy each other’s company and get to know one another’s secrets too. There are many games I like to play, but this is perfect for travel, as it is light weight and takes up no space at all. It has everything from flirty games to sexy dares, enjoy!
9. Chill Core 3-in-1 Wine Cooler
While researching for Wine pouring accessories, I came across this. It absolutely blew my mind, how this simple accessory could keep the wine chilled as well as act as a wine pourer. All you need to do is keep the ChillCore in the freezer and when its time to drink, you can just insert it into the bottle and attach the pourer from top and viola! You wine gets chilled from inside the bottle and it keeps it cool for hours. You don’t need to keep running to the fridge to pour yourself a chilled glass of wine. The ultimate gift for wine drinkers like me!
10. Personalized Couples Wine Glass Set
Continuing the spirit of Wine from the previous gift, it just makes sense to add this to the list of gifts for couples who travel. These personalized wine glasses are a perfect gift to give a couple this Christmas. I love collecting different varieties and shapes of wine glasses. So feel free to gift me a wine glass on any occasion, I am happy to receive them.
11. The Packing Cube Set
One of my other favorite gifts for travelers. I love my suitcase to be well organized. I dislike disrupting my entire luggage, while looking for one tiny item. So I’d rather have them all organized and packed in cubes, category-wise. It just makes packing and unpacking so much easier. Especially, when you’re hopping multiple destinations on one trip.
12. Personalized Beverage Tub
Right now in UAE, it is perfect weather for picnics, camping and BBQ’s and I believe, this Beverage tub is an ideal gift for Christmas. I can simple carry it with me on my road trip or camping trip and fill it with ice and stick my beers and wine bottles in it. Personalizing this tub, just adds a little extra cherry on the top.
13. His & Hers Bathrobe Set
I am not always fond of the quality of bathrobes available at a hotel. I like my robes to be soft and comfortable. Not the one-size-fits-all kind. This is the cutest gift for couples who travel. It’s lightweight and since its Egyptian cotton, it barely takes up any space. You can simply roll it into a tight ball and put it in any corner of your luggage. Moreover, there are no robes provided in an AirBnB unless you’re staying in a 4* or 5* Hotel.
14. Go Pro Hero 9
For all the action loving couple travelers, there couldn’t be a better gift than a Go Pro Hero 9. It has a touch screen and records in 5K Ultra HD Video quality. Personally, I love diving and snorkeling and this camera gives me the best picture quality i can expect underwater. It is one of the best gifts for couples who travel.
15. 2021 Explore The World Calendar
Last, but not the least, this calendar would make a splendid gift for any traveler’s home. With each month passing by, you can flip to see images of a new country. In fact, I would love to buy this calendar as a gift to myself and practically visit a new country every month. That would be pretty fantastic, don’t you agree?
This is a simple short guide of my personal favorite gifts for couples who travel. I have short listed what I’d like to receive or gift my partner this Festive season.
