The holiday season is fast approaching, and with it comes the frantic holiday shopping season.

If you know someone who loves to travel, these gifts should put a big smile on their face this holiday season!

Conquest maps are a gorgeous piece of home decor that will become the focal point of your living room, dining room, office, or anywhere else you can imagine!

A Cork Globe
What better way for your loved one to bring their travel memories into their home office than to have a cork globe on their desk where they can track their adventures. These small globes are fantastic because they let you stick a pin where you have traveled so that you can keep those travel memories fresh in your mind and dream about future adventures to come. You can use one color pin for places you have been, and one color pin for places you wish to go. A pin globe is a great gift idea for frequent travelers in your life.
National Geographic Magazine Subscription
The National Geographic magazine is by far my favorite magazine of all time. They do such a great job of highlighting beautiful and unique places throughout the world, giving you itineraries for amazing adventure vacations, and telling travel stories that will make you want to hop into a plane that minute and go off exploring. Any travel enthusiast in your life will be thrilled with a subscription to the National Geographic magazine and will be reminded of your gift each time they receive a new issue.
A Great Travel Book
Another great reading gift that you can get for the travel enthusiasts in your life is one of the many great travel books that National Geographic has put out. Whether it be a book on ideas to do in their travels around the United States, journeys of a lifetime that they can take, or ways in which they can eat their way around the world, these books are sure to amaze the travel adventurers in your life. They make great coffee table reading material and provide an endless amount of inspiration for their next big adventure.

Try the World Subscription Box
This is a gift idea that I just recently learned about and am very excited to hopefully try in the future. Try the World makes boxes of food from various parts of the world, either as a one-time gift or as a series of shipments, to give you a taste of different foods from around the world. For those of you with travel foodies in your life, this is a very creative gift that will be sure to wow your loved ones this holiday season.
Leather Travel Journal
When I travel, I love to document my experiences so that I can go back and relive my adventures in the future. Not only do I take a lot of photographs, but I love to take a journal with me so that I can write down neat places that I visited, great restaurants I ate at, and beautiful places that I find. A nice leather travel journal would be a great gift for the travel enthusiast in your life as these journals are durable, easy to pack, and are great for documenting all of their wonderful travel memories.

The Trtl Pillow
Long-haul flights can be difficult to endure. One of the ways to make those flights more manageable is to have a really good travel pillow with you. If you know someone who travels a lot, and especially internationally, then this would be a great gift to give them. The Trtl is one of the most popular travel pillows on the market for good reason. These pillows have been ergonomically designed to keep your head in a comfortable sleeping position, no matter where you are sleeping, and their soft felt fabric is really comfortable to snuggle up with.

Travel Hanging Toiletry Bag
This is a great gift for any nomad or globetrotter in your life. One of the most difficult parts about living out of a tent, a hostel, or even hotels while on the road is keeping all of your toiletry items organized and having them handy when you need them. This travel hanging toiletry bag makes it easy and convenient to access your toiletry items while on the road. And when counter space is an issue, this bag hangs up for convenient access without having to take everything out of the bag in a shared bathroom or tent.

They are great for keeping dress shoes clean in your bag, as well as keeping dirty hiking boots away from your clean clothes when you are on long adventures.

Travelwise Packing Cube System
Another great gift for frequent travelers in your life who like to stay organized is the Travelwise packing cube system. These packing cubes make it easy to stay organized as you pack by allowing you to compartmentalize your suitcase. This makes it easy to find items while on your trip and keeps your suitcase from getting all cluttered as you travel. So if you know someone in your life that literally lives out of a suitcase for much of the year as they travel or just someone who enjoys staying organized as they travel, these packing cubes will make their life so much easier.
