Equipment – Travel Gifts

1. Dell Computer

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

I love my Dell Laptop and am ready to purchase a new one.  One reason I love them so much is the technical support I receive. 

The extra technical support paid is worth it since this travel writer is not to tech savvy.   There are so many new models that have yet been explored and will let you pick and choose your favorite.  Leave me a comment on which one you prefer.

2.  Kindle Paperwhite E-reader

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

My Kindle is my lifesaver that I like on long flights.  When traveling, sometimes there are hurry up and wait moments and at those times it is great to pull out my kindle to read.   My Amazon Kindle is loaded with books that I have downloaded ahead of time on wifi.  The kindle which is lighter than a book but has the ability to highlight and bookmark on the electronic pages.  The fantastic thing is I can read in sunlight due to its back lighting capability.

3.  Nikon D7100

 

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

I am an amateur photographer and love taking photos.  I have graduated recently to the Nikon D7000 with interchangeable lens.  My Nikon is a lot of camera but capable of taking some great shots.  Accessories are a plus including a tripod is helpful.  The Nikon D7000 has been upgraded to the Nikon D7100  from what I have read.  I have not used this new one yet but would love to try the new upgrade since I took my husbands camera.

Lexar Professional 32GB SDHC Card

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

I always have plenty of Lexar Scan Disc Cards to take loads of photos.  I just started using new ones every time I change out the older ones.  That way I can keep track of my own photos especially if my husband takes photos too.  One can also download photos off the SDHC Cards to a device and reuse.  I like to use the Lexar 32GB SDHC.

4.  Case Logic Backpack for my Camera

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

This Case Logic Back Pack is awesome.  It has enough compartments to hold my camera gear and also a place to hook up my tripod on the side.  Great to use, put your camera and accessories in your new bag then just put on your back and go.  Very rugged and a waterproof base for the times your on a hike and you need to set it down on the wet dirty ground.  It can become heavy if overloaded and if you are a girl or woman can be a little too much weight.

5.  Delsey Luggage Carry-On Spinner Trolley

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

This Delsey Carry On with Spinner Wheels is my go to bag for travel. Fits in the overhead easily as long as I don’t expand.   So easy to use. holds my laptop, kindle, snacks and a day worth of clothes.  This is my go to bag that is kept ready for my next adventure.

Travel Clothing – Travel Gifts

 

5.  Women’s Travel Clothes

Travel clothes are ones that wash and dry quickly that wears well.  I will usually buy brands like Columbia, Title Nine, Nike and more.  The stores I usually shop are REI, Amazon, and Sporting Good Stores which always seem to be having a special sale on easy wash and quick dry travel clothes.  These clothes can be expensive so I like to try and find them at the end of the season.   They pack light, wash them in the afternoon and wear them the next day.

6.  Chaco Sandals

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

Chaco’s 5 point sandals are great for traveling on all terrain.  They have ultimate support and 5 points to keep on your feet that helps keep you on the road or trail.  They work well if traveling through the raining or warm seasons because they dry fast and have great tread.  These are my go to travel sandals.  They are rugged with a great bottom grip.  Different styles to choose from with backs on them and some that go around the toe.  The key to these sandals is to adjust the straps that gives you equal room all the way around.  My Chaco’s I always seem to find on Zappos.  I love how Zappos, they ship out quickly and have an easy return policy.

12.  Marmot Men’s Precip Jacket

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

Marmot Rain Jacket is great for keeping the rain off.  Has a hood, pockets that are at an angle closed by a zipper and Velcro.  The jacket zippers up with Velcro enclosures in the front and zippers under the arms for ventilation.  My husband loves this lightweight jacket.  Easy to pack and go.  They do offer a women’s Marmot Rain Jacket which mine is with me all the time.

8.  Here are my Favorite Travel Books

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

Lonely Planet Thailand (Travel Guide)

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

Rick Steves Europe Through the Back Door

Lonely Planet and  Rick Steves are some of my favorite travel books.  I choose one for the country and also for the city I am visiting.  This way I can tab, highlight and find great places to visit to plan my holiday.  My books get very well worn but I prefer the paper books rather than electronic so I can make notes.  What I found funny was traveling through Italy one year and see most travelers had the Rick Steves Travel Guides in their hands.  That should tell you something that these are great travel books for everyone.

9.  Leather Passport Cover

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

I like to keep my passport hidden in a leather holder.  This way I do not flash which country I am from.  The tip is to make sure to have it just placed inside loose for when going through customs not in the holders so you can speed through immigration.  I like this Passport Cover due to its RFID Blocking capabilities.  I am all about safety and not being a target.  This is on my Christmas wish list this year since my original one is all worn out.

Travel Diary

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

I like to purchase my diary in the country I’m traveling in so I get the feel of the place I am at.  If I can find one with the ability to switch out pages when finished that is a win win.   It is always good to write down your experiences on paper and fun to read them at a later time.  This will also give us travelers some memories to write in our blogs.

10.  Laundry Detergent

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

Lewis N. Clark Woolite Travel Laundry Kit With Sink Stopper and Liquid Soap

I pack light and my clothes are mostly made of material that dry overnight.  With the Woolite Washing Packets, just wash clothes, hang up and they are ready to wear the next day.  The packets are individual  use and you don’t have to worry about trying to save a liquid detergent.

11.  Bug Repellent

Off Deep Woods Insect Repellent

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

These Off Deep Woods Insect Repellent packets are great and travel well.  They are wipes and all you do is wipe on your skin and throw away.  They keep working for hours.  I keep them in a plastic bag and place in my checked in baggage.  My husband loves these which came in handy while in Vietnam.

Coconut Oil Packets

12 Fantastic Gifts for Spirited Travelers with 1AdventureTraveler

Some people including me are allergic to “Deet”.  I found Coconut Oil is a great natural bug repellent.  These Coconut Oil packets are great and easy to use.  I make sure to transport in a zip-lock bag since they can be somewhat messy.  Coconut Oil Packets are hard to find.  I have not bought this particular brand put a similar brand.
