Shopping for men is hard. Everyone knows that. Shopping for male travellers is even harder, because they tend to prefer plane tickets to anything that fits under the tree.
But it’s still nice to give them something to open, isn’t it? So if he already has a beard trimmer and he’s got enough socks, check out my list of present ideas for men who love to travel.
13 Gift Ideas for Male Travellers
Oh, he’s not into ‘stuff’? Check out my list of experience based gift ideas instead!
A world beers subscription
If one of the things he loves best about travelling is tasting different beers from around the world, bring the world’s breweries to him with a beer box subscription. Check out Beerhawk or this subscription option on Notonthehighstreet.
A cast-iron skillet and recipe book
Never come between a man and his cast-iron skillet, that token symbol of masculinity. Everything tastes better when it’s cooked in one, apparently – maybe because some of them cost over £100. You can get one much cheaper on Amazon of course (this one has rave reviews). Make sure he has some exotic recipes up his sleeve with this cast-iron skillet recipe book.
A backpack
Osprey kindly sent us a pair of these to try out on our India trip – I have the Women’s Fit and my fiancé has the men’s version. The Farpoint Trek 75 gets our seal of approval! Plus, you can get matching packs for a big adventure together.
Rough Guides Make The Most of Your Time On Earth
Guys Who Travel tend to also be Guys Who Read, so why not combine two of his favourite pastimes in one gift? The Rough Guides inspiration book will give him a few destinations to add to his bucket list.
An On-The-Go Skincare Gift Set
Travelling takes its toll on men’s skin just as much as ours, you know. This Elemis skincare gift set contains a Shave Gel, Deep Cleanse Facial Wash, Daily Moisture Boost and a Hair & Body Wash – and they’re all under 100ml, so they’ll pass as carry-on liquids. Comes in a handy travel bag.
Scarf and gloves set
Every man, no matter what he usually scores on the attractiveness scale, gets 10x hotter when he puts a scarf on. It’s a scientific fact. This set will keep him cosy while he’s exploring cold climates.
A little black book
This handy notebook provides ample space for him to document his travels, scribble down phone numbers when he breaks his phone while hiking, and keep important stuff like booking references.
Walking boots
A good quality pair of waterproof boots that are sturdy enough for hiking but stylish enough to wear to the pub is an essential for men who travel a lot. He can even get away with wearing this pair for most of his trip – saving on excess baggage fees. These ones have excellent reviews.
A weekend bag
Whether he uses it for the gym or for long weekend breaks, a chic sports holdall is bound to get loads of use. This one from Reiss is superb quality and goes with any outfit.
A scratch map
He can keep track of the places he’s ticked off his travel bucket list with this attractive scratch map. This one is travel sized, so he can roll it up and take it with him, wherever he’s sleeping.
A hip flask
When he’s strapped for cash on the other side of the world, at least he’ll never go thirsty. This slick Ted Baker hip flask comes with built-in shot glasses, so he can share the goods around.
A hanging wash bag
If he’s going to be staying in slightly dingy accommodation, he can protect his toiletries from bathroom grime with this hanging wash bag. It’s perfect for travel and includes a clear removable bag that can be used for getting liquids through security.
A bath robe
Everyone knows there’s no better feeling than getting back from a trip, taking a long bath and wrapping up in your dressing gown after a long journey. Give him something lovely to come home to with this cosy bath robe.
