the time for gift-giving is finally here
whether it's a birthday a graduation a
Christmas present a Hanukkah present tis
the season for gifts if you've ever
found yourself wondering hmm what's a
good gift idea for travelers or you
found yourself googling gift ideas for
travelers you're in the right place
today
hi everyone I'm Antoinette and welcome
back to my channel I'm gonna share with
you a couple of go to accessories as
well as a couple of items from my
personal wish list from the wish list of
a traveler so that you can have an
easier time Machop incurring for that
special gift for that special someone so
if you're interested in the topic today
go ahead and give this video a thumbs up
and let's go ahead and get right into it
the number one thing that I carry with
me when I'm traveling is a universal
travel adapter this is especially
helpful overseas because of course the
electricity system in America is
different than over in Europe and even
it depends on which country but a
universal travel adapter and a converter
help make things easier so I'm not fry
so I don't get fried when I plug in my
electronic one of the best captors today
is the best deck travel adapter this
thing has four USB ports as well as a
couple of different outlets so that you
don't have to charge one item at a time
everything I'm talking about today is
gonna be listed down in the links in the
description so it takes a guesswork out
of trying to find all these products
just go ahead and click on the direct
link which will take you to Amazon and
you can check out the item for yourself
my next item you guessed it it is a
Triclimate jacket what I love about it
is it's a perfect gift a perfect travel
gift for him or for her because this
North Face Triclimate jacket comes in
men's and women's sizes and it has a
hood that is breathable waterproof
windproof and also tear and rip
resistant you get three jackets in one
so this is everything combined for a
super warm jacket when I take off the
zipper so all I do is as you can see
here yeah there is a zipper that you
pulled down
on each end and you can take this top
layer off no matter where you are and
you've got a really fashionable ship
zips right on up with a fashionable
shell and pockets check this out yeah
and then once this is done you can
remove the shell and pick back up the
outer layer for a really comfortable
lightweight packable and breathable
jacket with adjustable straps my third
best gifts for travelers in 2018 are
compression bags or packing cubes they
are lightweight they are waterproof and
they save me a ton of space so for
example I'm going to take this blanket
here and put it in this bag it's
essentially a very large plastic bag in
the bag and you see I'm gonna seal it up
it all comes with this cool little
attachment here that helps clip onto the
bag it helps you seal it and there's no
vacuuming needed contrary to commercials
or whatever anyone decides to post
there's no vacuuming needed now we have
our delightful blanket and you see how
thick this bag is right just once again
watch this check this out now look at
how thin this bag is after we've
compressed it I like to just put my
clothes in the bag roll out all of the
air and then place it at the bottom of
my carry-on and when I travel and I want
to remix souvenirs I put all the clothes
back in the bag roll out all the air and
put the souvenirs on top with my
Triclimate jacket over top of the
souvenirs and I've done I have saved at
least 50% of my space and I can bring
more items oh and if you're looking for
a little bit of organization in your
life you can check out some of the
packing cubes you can have a cube for
just your sweater but you can have a
cube for your underwear akun cubes
really help you to stay organized and so
I definitely recommend
that for any traveler in your life I'd
like to use a compact digital camera on
my travels I personally have the Sony
rx100 4 you can get them in a kit so you
don't worry about trying to find a magic
memory card or even a carrying case for
at all it is fast and really really
powerful part of my souvenirs are the
photos I take and as a traveler you want
to take amazing photos to share with
your family and a friends
there's also the canon g7x - any of
those cameras will work because they
also capture great sound as well as a
high image quality the countdown
continues and now we're at number five
with the RFID blocking sleeves RFID
stands for a radio frequency
identification and when you're traveling
the sad thing is scammers know this and
they're up to date with the latest
technology so you don't have to get
robbed or pickpocket it in order for
someone to take your credit card
information all they need to do is stand
next to you with their reader device
which submits a signal to your credit
card and it picks up the number they get
sent off the computer and someone can
make a purchase within a good 5 10
minutes but when you have an RFID sleeve
all that gets block and it's really
helpful
inexpensive and well worth it investment
so I like the alpine rivers branda this
is what I use in my travels so
everything comes in this cool container
and you get about 18 of these bad boys
so once I open it we have a ton of
little sleeves to protect all of your
different credit cards as well as your
passport and this is really nothing more
than a protected case as you can see in
the inside it has a protective shield on
the inside where you put your cards in
it
and then you put your card in your bag
and you're done and that's really all it
takes to prevent any type of credit card
fraud or theft it's a really inexpensive
investment go ahead and invest in the
RFID sleeves for the traveller so that
they can come back to money in their
bank account we're at gift number six
and this is a perfect travel gift for
her a blanket scarf if you've never
heard of a blanket start before I want
to tell you about it right now it is
perfect I am always called on airplanes
I don't know about you but I'm always
freezing and so I need something to keep
me warm that's also fashionable and
fully functional a blanket scarf is as
the title suggests it is a scarf as well
as a blanket you can wrap it around
yourself to stay warm like a blanket it
can be a shawl it can be a fashion
statement with a belt over it it can
work as an actual scarf it can be a
punch of a look at this I can even like
put a hood over it if I'm really super
cold or it's rainy I can wear it as a
hood to keep myself warm and dry it is
fully functional and absolutely amazing
number seven is a Joby tripod they come
in different sizes depending on the
weight of your camera what I love about
them is that there is a screw at the top
so you can screw in just about any size
camera there and the legs move out to
fit any kind of shape they wrap they
Bend it's super easy hey take a photo
and you've got a really cool tripod
really cool really inexpensive tripod
that is sturdy and durable and will last
the test of time and travel don't you
hate it when you're traveling and you
just you know you have all these
electronics if you've got like your
phones and your buds and you've got like
extension cables for your phone then
you've got your actual phone cable and
then you've got like your camera
charging cables and you end up with like
this mess it is it is horrible I put a
cord wrap organizer on
I wish list the cord wrap organizer
essentially turns this like crazy a
jumble to this number nine on my list is
a collapsible shopping bag there are
many times in your traveling and you
happen to just run into a really cute
boutique or a kiosk or a store or vendor
with a bunch of unique items that you
want to bring back as souvenirs but you
also don't want to carry around all of
your luggage you like you're some weirdo
you want something that will fit in your
pocket which these collapsible bags
break down to a little square size that
you just put in your pocket and whenever
you're ready you pull it out of your
pocket whip it out and these bags can
hold up to 50 pounds they are waterproof
as well as machine washable and finally
we made it to number ten number ten on
my list is a scratch mat so the max
international scratched the world map is
a 33 by 23 inch mat that you can place
on your wall perhaps you know I think
would look nice over there somewhere I
think and it's essentially a world map
with a nice gold covering over it I
guess it's like a gold film where you
could just take a coin or a penny and
just scratch off the country you've been
to and it's perfect for the traveler in
your life because you can reflect about
all the places you've been to and also
dream about the places you want to go
that are not yet scratched up and it is
really a really cool way to document
your journey hull across the world so
that's it those are my ten items but I'm
also going to throw in a couple of bonus
items for those people who are trying to
get gifts for somebody who's really
picky or they just don't have time to go
out and you know maybe last-minute
ordering and hey you just need a quick
gift so of course gift cards and gift
certificates come into play here the
first car that you can get is to Airbnb
help defray the cost of lodging by
giving them an Airbnb gift card you can
also get a gift card to the iTunes
the Apple store or even the Android
Market so your favorite traveler can
download any types of movies music or
apps that will help make the journey
that less stressful you can also give
them a gift card to Amazon all the
products I just listed earlier today are
from Amazon so if you give them an
Amazon gift card you can let them get
whatever they wanted whenever they want
it there's also Starbucks because guess
what Starbucks is an international
company while you're there at the
airport sometimes two even three hours
ahead of schedule grab a coffee grab
something to eat
grab some tea you can also give the gift
of experiences so if you know your
childr is going to a specific country
you can search for in that country and
then the city they're gonna be traveling
in for example you can give them a bike
tour or you can give them a wine-tasting
or ride in a Maserati a helicopter tour
a pasta making lesson wherever they're
going there is a tour that is reputable
and reliable for them to go on if you
just click on the link down below I'll
give you the link to Viet tour which is
where I personally booked all of my
tours and I can vouch for their
awesomeness and finally cash is king
everyone if user does out of ideas give
them cash they can use the cash so they
can travel more or buy souvenirs get the
gear they need cash is king
don't you forget it so everyone that's
it that's all I have if you like this
video give it a thumbs up and share it
for all those people in your life who
are looking for gifts for their
