15+ Creative Travel Gifts for Your Favorite Jet-Setting Art and Culture Lover

Travel Gifts

So, your favorite jet setter is back from another trip, and it’s their birthday. What do you get them? There are, of course, neck pillows and compression socks, but those aren't the only options for travel gifts that your recipient will love. At My Modern Met Store, we have a selection of creative products that are ideal for someone with a permanent sense of wanderlust.

Some of our favorite gifts look great while being practical to boot. One of our best sellers is Shovava's Vintage Shawl. It'll take your recipient's trip style to new heights with a gorgeous feather illustration that spans the width of the garment. While fashionable, the shawl also embraces function and is large enough for them to cozy up with on an airplane. (We know how chilly the cabin can be!)

Another type of travel gift commemorates places that your recipient has been. Talia Sari’s abstract map pendants are tailor-made for those that love to visit metropolises. We have some of the most famous cities on Earth available as gold-plated necklaces that are sure to remind your friend of all the good times they had in the likes of Paris and London.

Scroll down for our picks of the best gifts for travelers. For more ideas, check out our curated collection in My Modern Met Store.
