Having dreams to travel the world is one thing, but being well equiped to make the trip smooth sailing is a whole other ball game. With new gadgets out every month and travel tech also booming, there are plenty of ideas for presents under the tree. Here are our favourites:
GoPro HERO8 Black
Carrying bulky equipment isn’t ideal for the part-time photographer. Instead, an adventure camera like the GoPro HERO 8 is the perfect addition to anyone’s luggage – capable of capturing idyllic sunsets or tracking every movement through harsh terrains. If they don’t have one, Christmas is the perfect time to hand one over.

Victorinox Werks Traveller 6.0 Hardside Medium Case
Having travelled to over 10 countries in the last two years, there’s one thing i’ve learned: your luggage bag will get battered and bruised. And if you aren’t willing to invest in a quality piece, you’ll find yourself replacing your suitcase every year. Victorinox’ hard shell option is both minimalist and robust. Your relative might skimp out but you know better – gift them a piece that will go the distance.
RRP: $889.00
Coach Travel Guide Pouch
Scouring though documents at check-in isn’t ideal, nor is having your passport and tickets floating around the hotel room. If you know someone who hasn’t yet invested in a great travel wallet, this is the perfect item to complete their travel checklist. Coach has been around for nearly 60 years so you know you’re investing in a great product.

JAG Black Toiletry Bag
Much like a travel wallet, a toiletry bag is crucial to organisation and simplifying the packing side of things. Again, a toiletry bag will get tossed and turned countless time – shelling out on a quality piece will ensure they won’t have to replace it every year.
