Push Pin Travel Map Kit
Instead of a flimsy scratch-off travel poster (trust me, they’re awkward), gift your favorite traveler this pushpin corkboard map. In addition to pinning the places they’ve been or want to go, they can add photos or notes turning it into a wall scrapbook. Otherwise, the minimalist design will look chic in any room.

Speaking of eco-friendly gifts. This cute cutlery set can go from picnics and camping to planes, trains and automobiles with no single-use plastic waste.
Yoga Design Lab

Mindfulness App Subscription
Jet bound or jetlagged, a meditation app can help calm stress and promote relaxation. And what traveler doesn’t need that from time to time? Some of my favorites are Insight Timer, Calm and Headspace.
