Christmas Gift Guide 2017: Gifts For Travellers
When it comes to gifting can we all agree that some people are just difficult to shop for? We bet you’ve found yourself stuck for ideas for the travellers and adventure seekers in your life. After all, how could your gifts possibly rival with the experiences they’ve lived and the wonders they’ve explored? How do you impress those thrill-seekers and distant-land crusaders? Where do you find those super-small (but super-cool) gadgets for someone who keeps belongings to a minimal, all tidily tucked in an ultra-light high-tech rucksack? Well, sit back and relax, because we’ve gathered a few gift ideas to satisfy those who can’t sit still … For those chilly mornings You guessed it, the best way to please your loved explorers is to find clever gadgets to make their life on the road just a bit easier and more satisfying. Remember, think small, but practical. For those difficult mornings and chilly pit stops, give the gift of freshly brewed espresso on the go! A portable coffee maker will take up a bit more space than some packs of instant granules, but boy is it worth it for those comforting aromas of barista-standard black stuff. We love the BNest portable espresso maker (Amazon): it’s easy to clean, measures 7.3 by 2.6 inches, and brews a delicious cup in just instants – crema and all. Slightly less glamorous, but about as vital as it gets, is a good pair of specialist socks for winter hikes. Chose a wool-blend, with targeted foot and calf support and good absorption, such as the Smartwool PhD Mountaineer sock which you can find at Tiso. It’s certainly a price to pay for socks, but trust us, the giftee will feel the difference, and will thank you. For capturing every moment While a camera is pretty much […]
