Unique travel gifts for women under $50

These unique travel gifts for women under $50 are both useful and won’t break the bank. The travel lover in your life is sure to love unwrapping one of these presents.

1. Waterproof phone case

I know the first argument against this gift is that most phones are already waterproof, so why is this necessary? I will tell you why it’s necessary, at least for me.

The thing is, most phones aren’t “waterproof”; they’re water “resistant.” This means it doesn’t hurt to have a little extra protection for her expensive phone.

This waterproof phone case will protect her phone in fully submerged water up to a meter deep, and it has a lanyard that floats so that she won’t lose it on her adventures. As someone who always drops her phone, I can’t tell you how handy this has been for me.

Price: $29.00

2. Travel coloring book

If the woman you’re buying a book for flies a lot, then she probably spends a lot of time waiting in airports. Personally, I love hanging out in airports because I always get a ton of work done while I’m waiting. But it’s always nice to have options of what to do while waiting for that flight to board.

Introducing adult coloring books!

Okay, okay. Adult coloring books have been around for a while now, but that doesn’t make them any less of a great travel gift for women.

Adult coloring books are fun, and they calm stress and anxiety (which is great if she hates flying).

As a bonus, get her some coloring pencils to go with the book. These Prisma Colors are my favorite!

Coloring Book Price: $12.60

Prisma Color Coloring Pencils Price: $14.97

3. Travel stub diary

Tickets are the perfect souvenir. They don’t cost anything extra and looking through old tickets will bring back beautiful memories.

This travel stub diary is a unique travel gift for women who love to adventure is one of the best gifts for the wanderluster in your life because it will help her organize her memories, scrapbook style.

Price: $15.99

4. Bucket list journal

This bucket list journal was designed to help you stay accountable to your goals.

If the travel-loving woman in your life is the type of person with big dreams and lots of goals (which, to be honest, who isn’t?), get her this journal to help her organize her dreams.

The journal will walk her through creating a master bucket list organized into 10 categories, and it has a “before and after” section so she can write about her experience.

5. 23andMe ancestry kit

This unique travel gift for women is great for adventurous souls who want to know where they come from. Maybe she will even end up retracing the steps of her ancestors!

Price: $229.00

6. Digital picture frame

These days anyone can be a photographer. Since we all carry around digital cameras in our back pockets anyway, why not get your travel lover a way to display all the pictures she takes on her vacation?

These digital frames are much easier than printing out pictures. All she has to do is email the frame the pictures she wants to display, and voila! All of her adventures are automatically uploaded to a digital slideshow in her living room.

Price: 99.99

7. In-car air purifier

Have you ever been on a long, multi-day road trip? If so, then you know exactly why an in-car air purifier would be the perfect travel gift.

While road trips are a blast, the car air does tend to get pretty stuffy and gross after a few hours. This air purifier has a sterilization rate of 99.99% and will leave the air in the car feeling much more refreshed.

Price: $119.99

8. Travel yoga mat

This is a great unique travel gift for women who love yoga.

If the woman in your life is anything like me, she is straight-up addicted to doing yoga every morning. Unfortunately, yoga mats are bulky and take up a lot of space, so bringing a yoga mat on vacation doesn’t make sense.

Fortunately, this travel yoga mat exists! It easily folds up into a carrying pouch about the size of a laptop bag, so it will fit into her carry-on or checked bag with no problem!

Price: $59.99

Luxury travel gifts for women

If she loves traveling, she’s probably spending her money on experiences rather than supplies. Make her day by buying her a luxury travel gift that she will love (but would probably never buy herself).

9. Aesop departure kit

Help your travel lover feel like a queen with Aesop’s seven-piece travel-size luxurious skin essentials.

This vegan and cruelty-free skincare brand will keep her skin moisturized and refreshed while she’s away on her adventures.

Price: $95.54

10. Luxurious silky bathrobe

Just because she’s on an adventure doesn’t mean she can’t feel fabulous.

This silky bathrobe is lightweight, so it will fit perfectly in her luggage without taking up too much space.

It’s the perfect garment to wear after a long day of exploring. Maybe pair this unique travel gift with the Aesop departure kit above to make her feel truly glamorous on her trip.

Price: $46.99

11. Luxury Luggage

For years, I lugged the same old, beat-up, hand-me-down bags from trip to trip, never wanting to spend money on new luggage for myself.

Good luggage can be expensive, and for a travel lover on a budget, it’s just not worth the price when you can make do with what you have.

When the zipper broke on my old suitcase, I finally broke down and purchased the cheapest set (with good reviews) that I could find.

Do your girl a favor, and buy her some nice luggage that she would never get for herself, like this Juicy Couture luggage set. She will be over-the-moon appreciative of it, I promise.

Price: $576.00

12. Jewelry travel case or organizer

Sometimes, luxury is found in the little things. Like this plush velvet travel jewelry organizer.

It’s small and compact, so it will easily fit into a corner in her bag and keep her jewelry organized and well taken care of for her entire trip.

Price: $17.99

13. Bose NC700 headphones

Imagine: You’re on a 16-hour flight to New Zealand. You’ve already had two layovers, and you’re exhausted. All you want to do is sleep, but the baby two rows behind you is screaming bloody murder. You can’t blame him. This flight is long, and you want to cry, too. If only you had a pair of high-quality, noise-canceling headphones to help you drown out his cries so you can sleep.

Okay, this is a specific example taken from my life. But I bet the travel lover you’re thinking of would also appreciate noise-canceling headphones like these Bose NC700s.

Whether its to drown out the noise of a screaming baby on a plane, to cut out the loud traffic outside her hostel, or just to listen to some jams on the subway, this headset is the perfect unique travel gift for women that will add a bit of luxury to her life.

Price: $379.00

14. Ringly (or other) stylish fit bit

Gone are the days of bulky smartwatches that don’t match your outfit. Here are the days of cute, smart jewelry that track your steps incognito.

This Ringly Luxe activity tracker is the perfect gift for women who travel. It’s a Bluetooth ring that connects directly to her phone, so she can create fitness goals and set alerts. Meanwhile, it will be tracking all of her physical activity without clashing with her outfits in her cute travel photos.

If that ain’t luxury, I don’t know what is.

Price: See listing

15. Cabeau Evolution S3 neck pillow

There are good neck pillows, and then there are bad neck pillows. But one thing is sure: a neck pillow is essential for any flight or road trip.

While any pillow is better than no pillow, help the adventurous soul in your life travel in the lap of luxury by getting her this Cabeau Evolution S3 neck pillow.

It’s a memory foam pillow that comes with attachment straps so she can secure it to the back of her seat. This will ensure she keeps a healthy neck posture while she travels and won’t wake up with a cramped neck!

Price: $64.95

Adventure Travel Gifts for women

If the woman you’re looking for a unique travel gift for is the adventuring type, I’ll bet you these gifts are on her wish list.

16. Tinggly Superwoman travel gift card

Give the gift of an adventurous experience with Tinggly!

If you’re giving a gift to a woman who prefers experiences over stuff, then a Tinggly gift card is the perfect unique travel gift.

When you gift her a collection like the Superwoman experience set, she can pick from 1900+ experiences in more than 100 countries for her adventure.

Tinggly has a bunch of collections to choose from, so Superwoman isn’t you’re only option (though it’s a good one!). Browse through their collection to find the perfect gift experience for your travel lover.

Price: $10 – $699

A woman on an adventure - presumably because she received unique travel gifts for women.
Give the gift of adventure with Tinggly!

17. Hiking socks/compression socks

If she loves the outdoors, she will love these compression socks for hiking.

These knee-high compression socks give the feet and legs extra support, improve blood circulation, and add an extra layer of skin protection against bugs or the sun while hiking in the great outdoors!

Price: $14.99

18. Travel challenges card deck

Anyone who knows me knows that I am a big supporter of leaving your comfort zone. It’s the only way to grow! It’s also a great way to find new adventures and create new memories.

This Travel Challenges Card Deck is all about leaving your comfort zone while on vacation. Each card suggests a new challenge, hence a new memory in the making. It’s the perfect unique travel gift for women!

Price: $20.00

Woman jumping for joy on a mountain top because she receives unique travel gifts for women.
This woman is probably jumping for joy because she was gifted the travel challenges card deck.

19. Deep tissue massage gun

If the woman you’re buying a gift for has been on a lot of adventures, then she will probably be so grateful if you get her a deep-tissue massage gun like this one.

Whether it’s hiking up mountain tops, walking through new cities, or biking through villages, adventures can take a toll on the body and this massage gun is just the thing to help her feel better.

Price: $49.99

20. Steripen

If she loves to camp, then she will love the Steripen.

This is a pen that sterilizes water. In fact, it sterilizes 99.9% of bacteria in up to 15,000 liters of water per charge.

If you know a travel-loving woman who hangs out in the wild outdoors, this is the perfect unique travel gift for her.

Price: $129.95

21. Solar-charged power bank

Another great gift for someone who loves camping is this solar-charged power bank. How else are you going to charge your electronics while out in the wild?

I know that some of you will say that you don’t need electronics while camping. But there are certain things that it’s just smart for her to keep charged, like her cell phone in case of an emergency. Or a camera to take pictures of the gorgeous scenery.

Price: $64.99

Useful must-have gifts for the frequently traveling woman

Personally, I find the best gifts to be the ones that have practical use. That’s why these useful must-have gifts are the best unique travel gifts for women.

22. Travel steamer

Whenever you pack your clothes into a suitcase, you know they’re going to come out wrinkled.

If your travel girl has some nice plans for her vacation, this travel-sized clothing steamer will help her keep her outfits looking fresh. It certainly beats hanging clothes up in the shower to steam for 30 minutes. That’s just a waste of time and water!

Price: $39.99

23. Rechargeable hand warmer

This unique travel gift for women who love to adventure is perfect for girls exploring the outdoors!

Whether she’s pitching a tent for a weekend camping trip or taking a vacation to a winter wonderland, this rechargeable hand warmer will keep her warm! Plus, since it’s rechargeable, it’s better for the environment than the one-time use hand warmers.

Price: $36.99

24. Travel-sized first-aid kit

This small first-aid kit is travel sized. It fits in the palm of your hand, so you know it will tuck nicely into the corner of a suitcase and not take up any space.

When it comes to carrying first-aid, it’s always better to follow the philosophy of to have and not need than to need it and not have!

Price: $19.95

25. Luggage scale

This useful little tool could save your travel-loving woman $50 or more at the airport.

Someone I know once arrived at the airport, and their suitcase was too heavy to check. They had to buy an entirely new suitcase at the airport gift shop (which was not cheap, by the way) and split their stuff between both suitcases.

Some airports will still let you check the bag if it’s under the max weight, but they will charge you extra if it’s over their weight limit. These fees can be as much as $50 to $100!

Help your friend out. Get her a luggage scale so she always knows how much her suitcase weighs and will never have to deal with the extra fees.

Price: $15.99

26. TSA-compliant multi-tool

This stainless steel multi-tool is TSA compliant (since it doesn’t have a knife) and comes equipped with 8 tools in 1. I don’t think I can think of a more useful travel gift than this.

Price: $89.99

27. Packing cubes

These are one of my favorite travel necessities. If your girl doesn’t already have packing cubes, then it is your duty to make sure she does now that you’re gifting her a set.

Packing cubes help a suitcase stay organized so she can find everything she needs while living out of her luggage. Plus, they will help her save space so she can bring you back more souvenirs.

Price: $19.99

28. Travel jacket

A lightweight, waterproof jacket is essential in any woman’s travel gear collection.

A travel jacket makes a unique travel gift and it shows that you care about her wellbeing. Having a jacket on hand will help her prepare for any weather, and have something to wear in chilly airport termanals.

Price: $29.99

29. Travel umbrella

Like a travel jacket, it’s always good to have an umbrella on hand. Unless she’s visiting somewhere hot like Arizona, it will probably rain at least once on her vacation, and having a travel umbrella on hand means that she won’t get wet on her adventures.

Price: $29.99

30. Tile Bluetooth tracking device

Okay, these things are freaking cool.

Looking for a useful and unique travel gift for a woman in your life? Gift her a Tile Bluetooth tracking device. She can hook them up to her keys, purse, wallet, or her phone to help her find them near or far if they go missing.

Price: $79.99

31. Travel hair dryer

For some girls, having a hairdryer is a necessity for their signature hairstyle. And every girl deserves to have her signature hairstyle while on vacation. Just think of all the travel photos!

Unfortunately, hair dryers are bulky and take up precious suitcase space. And hotel hair dryers are disasters waiting to happen. One time, one sucked my hair up into the fan, and it was not a pretty sight. And it made the room smell like burnt hair.

Do your travel girl a favor and get her a lightweight travel-sized hair dryer like this one. It will make her day.

Price: $39.99

Travel gifts for her safety

Let’s face it, while the biggest thing on our minds when we travel is adventure, women also need to consider our safety while on vacation, especially if we’re traveling alone.

32. Anti-theft bag or bra stash

Number 32 is a two-for-one because the purpose of these items is essentially the same thing.

Theft is something to keep in mind, especially when traveling to a big city. Thieves often use the slasher technique, where they slice the purse strap so they can slip it off your shoulder and into their collection. Anti-theft purses are designed specifically to avoid this because they are unslashable.

A bra stashhttps://amzn.to/4bRgkMw has a similar purpose but is totally different. If the woman you’re buying a travel gift for isn’t much of a purse carrier, a bra stash may be better suited for her. These are pockets that attach to her bra so she can carry her valuables there instead of in a pocket that a well-trained thief could easily slip into undetected.

Price of an anti-theft bag: $55.99

Price of a bra stash: $15.99

33. Birdie

A Birdie Personal Safety Alarm is a must-have travel accessory for a woman traveling alone. It attaches easily to a keychain or purse and has a trigger that’s sort of like a grenade clip. If she feels threatened on her travels, all she has to do is pull the clip, and a loud alarm will start screaming. This will help deter any potential threat and hopefully attract the attention of others to come to her aid.

Price: $29.95

34. Personal security door alarm

Another essential for a woman traveling alone is a personal security door alarm.

This alarm works as a door stop and siren combined. All she has to do is place it at her door, and if someone tries to force it open, the doorstop helps hold the door closed while simultaneously deterring the intruder by sounding a loud alarm.

Price: $11.99

35. RFID wallet

RFID stands for “radio frequency identification,” which refers to the data stored on cards that use an electronic chip.

Thieves use this technology to steal data from your cards and use your credit card number to make online purchases.

If you’re buying a travel gift for a woman traveling to a big city, consider buying her an RFID-blocking wallet. This will help her keep her cards untraceable to digital thieves.

Price: $11.99

36. Indoor/outdoor lockbox safe

This is a great unique travel gift for women who love going to the beach, though it can be used anywhere.

Having a lock box where she can put her valuables will help her feel at ease while having fun on her adventures. This lock box has the ability to be connected to a beach chair or a bike rack near the ocean so she can play in the water without worrying about her phone or car keys.

It’s also great to take to a hostel or Airbnb that might not provide a safe like most hotels do.

Price: $49.95

Cute travel gifts, personalized travel gifts, and keepsakes

These unique travel gifts for women will help remind her of all her special adventures.

37. “Going Places” compass necklace

Made with eco-friendly brass, this 18K gold plated necklace will remind her that life is an adventure and there is a whole world out there to explore.

Price: $16.98

Lightweight gifts to take abroad

Looking for unique travel gifts for women who are going abroad? These lightweight gifts will easily fit in her luggage, are super useful, and she is sure to love them.

41. Universal travel adapter with USB

Fun fact, not every country has the same type of outlet. In fact, almost every country is different in both shapes of the outlet and the voltage. If the travel lover in your life is adventuring out of the country, she is going to need a power adapter. Why not get her a universal one?

Instead of watching her start up a collection of a million different adapters for each country she goes to, get her this universal power adapter with USB ports so that she is covered no matter what part of the world she decides to trek in next.

Price: $22.99

42. Charging cable tassel/keychain

This unique travel gift for women is fun, stylish, and useful.

We all know how important it is to keep our cell phones charged when we’re on vacation. For pictures, status updates, and safety, a full phone battery is très très important.

This tassel has a hidden charger cable in it and will easily hook to a purse or keychain. This way, she always has a charging cord with her and can plug it in at the nearest charging station.

Price: $12.99

43. Travel journal

If she’s going abroad, then she is going to be making pretty cool memories. One of the best ways for her to keep memories fresh is to write them down every night in a travel journal.

This vegan leather journal is portable in size and is perfect for scribbling retellings of adventures.

Price: $9.98

44. Zero Grid Infinity Scarf with a hidden pocket (converts to a blanket, too)

These scarves are cooler than cool. Not only are they cute, but they have a hidden pocket where you can keep your valuables close and incognito.

And, as an added bonus, they convert into a blanket! How great is that? Get this unique travel gift, and she can wear it on the plane and snuggle up if she gets cold on her flight abroad.

Price: $37.99

Travel Photography Gifts for Women

Whether she’s a professional photographer or an amateur travel photographer, she will love these unique travel gifts for women who love photography.

45. Camera tote

This everyday tote bag by Peak Design is perfect for a wanderlust photographer. It’s designed for on-the-go carry, has slots for her camera, laptop, and tablet, and is super cute. Get it in white for a stylish, fresh look, or in black so it’s less likely to get travel-worn.

Price: $179.95

46. Mini drone

Help her get some sick aerial shots with this ultra-light and foldable DJI Mini 2 drone.

This is one gift that she will never forget. At least not in this lifetime.

Price: $449

47. GoPro Hero9 Black

My husband got me this Go Pro for my birthday just before our trip to Hawaii, and we got so much use out of it. We got the best shots on the water, in the water, under waterfalls, four-wheeling through the jungle, you name it. If she loves adventure travel, then a GoPro is a necessity for her to document her excursions.

Price: $209.99

48. Tripod/selfie stick

You need to get this tripod/selfie stick combo for the travel-loving content creator in your life.

It holds both a phone and a GoPro, stands up to 62″ tall, and has break-proof legs. It’s a no brainer for a content creator.

Price: $35.99

49. Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 instant camera

Go retro and get her an instant camera. These are fun for girls’ trips, family vacations, and simply to document everyday life. Help her turn her walls into a collage of her life with this unique travel gift for women.

Price: $119.95

50. Mini photo printer

Nowadays, everything is digital. But having hard-copy pictures is a really special way to remember fond memories. Get her this mini photo printer from Canon, and she can print out all her favorite vacation photos from her phone. No more scrolling through thousands of pictures in her camera roll to show you that cool shot of her in Paris!

Price: $123.99

Favorite unique travel gifts for women

There are some pretty sweet and unique travel gifts for women on this list, but these last few are my absolute favorite, and I’m sure she will agree!

51. Fliker Fire personal fireplace

It’s normal to feel a little homesick while on vacation. That’s why some travelers bring a little something with them to help them feel more at home.

For the female traveler in your life, get her this personal fireplace. It will help her room feel cozier and also… Fire pretty!

It runs off of rubbing alcohol and should only be lit in a well-ventilated room.

Price: $99.00

52. Bluetooth sleep mask

I bought this bluetooth sleep mask to listen to guided meditations at night and not bother my husband. Regular earbuds hurt my ears to sleep in (and, honestly, I’m not sure that’s even safe?). With this mask, the earbuds are tucked into the side fabric and designed for side sleepers.

This is a great gift for anyone who can only sleep in the dark (like me) or if she travels on a plane often and wants to block out noise with her music.

Price: $25.99

53. Cork globe

When I saw this, I fell in love. I mean, what an amazing spin (haha, get it?) on the scratch-off maps! Instead of scratching off where you’ve been, you put a pin in it. If she travels a lot, she’ll watch the cork globe start off empty and slowly fill up as she visits more countries.

Price: $35.99

54. Travel protection crystals pack

If the wanderluster you’re looking to buy a gift for is spiritual, then she will love this travel protection crystals pack to keep her safe on her travels.

Price: $29.99

55. Travel shoes

Not to get stereotypical, but what girl doesn’t like new shoes? They’re fashionable and practical! Plus, getting them as a gift is a bonus because they’re often expensive.

Having a good pair of travel shoes is a necessity while on vacation. She’s going to do a lot of walking on her trip, so why not help her out and make sure she’s got the proper foot support?

Price: $80.00

56. Self-cleaning water bottle

This water bottle cleans itself. No, really. It truly does.

It uses innovative non-toxic mercury-free UV-C LED technology to sanitize water and clean the inner surfaces of the bottle. The bottle is BPA and plastic-free stainless steel and will keep her water cold for 24 hours.

Price: $99.00

57. 1,000 Places to See Before You Die book
