The Best Last-Minute Christmas Gifts to Get 2025

Christmas is right around the corner, and if you’re looking for a last-minute gift for a traveller, look no further. We have compiled a list for you, to make your search easier.

Clothing

You can never go wrong with buying sturdy clothing for those who travel a lot. Here are a couple of ideas:

• Warm socks: these can be used both when travelling and at home. For hikers or skiers alike, warm and thick socks are a must when travelling in the winter months.
• Scarves: Similarly to the socks, this item can be worn for everyday use in the winter months, as well as taken on holidays. It’s a staple article for the cold months.
• Hats: In line with the two items mentioned above, warm hats are also a necessity for cold destinations and cold weather.
• Compression socks: These are a good gift for the frequent flyers. Compression socks are designed to improve blood circulation. This is important when flying as your circulation is strongly reduced due to the pressure changes you experience during your flight. 

Electronics:

Certain electronics can be excellent presents for those who travel a lot. Here is some inspiration:

• Headphones: Specifically (although we know they may be more pricey) noise-cancelling headphones. These are a great addition to flights, as they can block out unwanted noises. They are also great for everyday use. Additionally, some airlines allow for bluetooth headphones to be connected to the screen in front of you if you are flying long-haul. This means you can watch movies with noise-cancelling headphones !
• Powerbank: A powerbank is a traveller’s best friend, especially if travelling to places where electricity may be hard to come by. These are also great if travelling long distances and you don’t have the suitable plug.
• Travel adapter plugs: Speaking of plugs, this is also a great gift for someone who travels a lot. These will always come in handy, especially if you are not sure about what plug your destination country is. With one of these, never be in doubt that you will have the right adapter.
• AirTag: These are great if you need to keep track of your personal belongings. The location of an AirTag can also be shared with up to 5 people, meaning those who want to keep track of your travels (parents, friends) can see your location too.
• eReader: If you know someone who reads and travels a lot, this may be the perfect gift. Indeed, carrying around big books is not very practical. This is the perfect intermediary. eReaders tend to be small and compact and weigh very little, but can carry a whole library. Easy to use on the go, these can also be a great addition to daily commutes.

Miscellaneous travel essentials:

Here are a couple more items that can be considered travel essentials for the traveller in your life.

• Travel pillow: This one is self-explanatory - who doesn’t love a pillow when they sleep in planes? This is great to maximise your comfort when travelling.
• Reusable water bottle: We suggest getting a thermal, reusable water bottle. This is good for the environment, practical, and it saves money in the long run as they do not have to keep buying water bottles. And again, these bottles can be used in everyday life too!
• Earplugs: This is great for those who enjoy the hostel lifestyle whilst travelling. No more noisy neighbours, it’ll now be peaceful when they sleep. It is also a great addition to flights in general, potentially improving sleep as well, as noise will also be drowned out.
• Hand Sanitiser: This is always an important item to have in your bag. It can be especially useful when travelling and you need to feel like you have clean hands but can’t find a place to wash your hands. It is a quick fix that will guarantee your hygiene for a little while.
