Top 5 Gift Ideas For Backpackers, That Are Practical and Handy!​ ​

11 September 2023 | By Liv & Jess

Waterproof Phone Case - ​

This would be a great gift idea for travellers as we found it extremely handy when we were travelling, as when we did any day trips like white water rafting, boat trips etc or even just going down to the beach. It gave us peace of mind that the phone would be kept dry also when in the sea or doing any water activity it allowed us to take awesome pictures underwater. They also are good to put your phone in to keep it dry if you're travelling from place to place and it is raining. They fold down small and don't weigh a lot so it's perfect to fit inside your backpack or even any bag in case you need it when you are out and about. We recommend this waterproof case as the snap-and-lock seal clip and fully enclosed black edge help the YOSH waterproof case constantly protect your cell phone from water invaders. The maximum waterproof protection is up to a water depth of 30 meters(100ft). Purchase The Waterproof Phone Case Here

​Card Holder - ​​

We feel this is an essential product to have when travelling around as it's one less thing you don't have to worry about with this specific cardholder you will be safe from contactless NFC data theft! You may not have even thought this could happen, but we heard about so many events where people had money taken from their cards without even realising. But this Cardholder is made from stainless steel and blocks RFID completely, so you don’t have to be worried about getting stolen without even noticing. Regular leather wallets are easily accessible for thieves when you’re travelling or commuting around on mopeds or even walking about. Data can be retrieved completely contactless if you’re not equipped with an RFID-blocking credit card holder designed to protect against these attacks. This product is small and reliable and is small enough to fit in your front pocket and thin enough to even place it in your pant's back pocket, yet still fits a lot of cards in. Purchase The Card Holder Here

Wet Shoes - ​

These wet shoes were a blessing when travelling as when doing different adventures, like visiting waterfalls, climbing through caves, water activities or even just going in the sea etc they protected your feet from stepping on rocks and stones as they are made from high-quality rubber and have a thick foam arch-support inside of the shoe. They are flexible and sturdy but also are very lightweight and portable so can be folded freely for easy packing.

Item Of Jewellery (Saint Christopher Necklace) - ​

Any item of jewellery is a great gift idea for both Men and Women, however, we recommend the Saint Christopher Necklace as it has a great meaning for travellers, that being Saint Christopher is the patron saint of travellers, drivers, gardeners and so on. This Saint Christopher necklace arouses a sense of faith. People wearing this necklace can bring good luck, bless and protect them from disaster. It is a way for travellers to feel protected as they travel. We both had one while travelling and got them as gifts before we left from our families. This one I have linked is the one we both got and recommend as we wore it all the time and was very good quality, but it is in the higher price range, of course, there are other options on Amazon. Purchase The Saint Christopher Necklace Here

Water Flask - ​

A water flask is something we both didn't have when we first started our travels however we quickly brought one while travelling. As it is so important to keep hydrated for various different reasons, especially when in hot countries. We have recommended two different options the first one being the IRON °FLASK Sports Water Bottle as the double wall insulation makes the Iron Flask sweat-free! It keeps your drink COLD for up to 24 hours, and HOT for up to 12 hours. This specific one comes in a variety of colours and sizes, however we would recommend the 18Oz. However, that being said we are aware that you don't always want to carry something as bulky and heavy as that, although it does come with a strap you can attach to your backpack. We also recommend the AXEN Soft Flask as it is a soft collapsible flask that can be widely used in cycling marathons running hiking and any other outdoor activities, as well as being able to fit into your backpack without taking up too much space.
