Five Star Gift Ideas

For your adventure traveler friend, you'll want to consider gifts that are geared towards exploring, discovering and experiencing new places. Here are some ideas that could inspire their next journey:

1. Travel guidebooks: Give them a guidebook on a destination they’ve been longing to visit, whether it’s Bhutan, Nepal, New Zealand or Peru. Lonely Planet and Rough Guides have a vast range of guidebooks that cover a wide variety of destinations, with insider tips on where to go, what to see, where to eat, and where to stay.

2. GoPro camera: A GoPro camera is a perfect way for your friend to capture their adventures on video or photos. They come in different models for different purposes, such as waterproof, shockproof, or compact size, and also come with a wide variety of accessories to help capture the best footage.

3. Gift cards for adventure tours: Give your friend the gift of an unforgettable experience by purchasing a gift card that can be used towards a variety of adventure tours, such as guided hiking, kayaking, or biking expeditions. You can find gift cards on websites like Viator, G Adventures or Intrepid Travel.

4. Travel backpack: A good backpack is a must-have for any adventurer. Look for one that’s lightweight, waterproof, and has compartments for all sorts of gear. Some popular brands include Osprey, Deuter, and Gregory.

5. Travel journal: Encourage your friend to document their travels with a beautiful travel journal or diary. For a unique touch, consider getting it personalized with their name or initials.

6. Scratch off world map: This is a fun and interactive way for your friend to track their travels. As they visit different countries, they can scratch off the top layer of the map to reveal a different color or pattern underneath.

7. Portable charger: When traveling off the beaten path, power outlets may be scarce. Give your friend a portable charger to ensure they never run out of battery on their smartphone, tablet, or camera.

8. Waterproof phone case: For your friend who loves water sports, a waterproof phone case is a helpful and necessary accessory. It’ll allow them to take photos, use navigation apps, and even make phone calls without fear of getting their phone wet.

With these gift ideas, you’ll be able to give your adventure traveler friend a meaningful and personal gift that they’ll be able to use on their next adventure.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
