If your sweetie happens to be a travel lover AND a gift lover, you’re in luck! Here are 12 Valentine’s Day gift ideas just PERFECT for travel lovers.

1. Crimson Heart Umbrella

Know someone who loves to take dreamy Instagram-worthy photos? As soon as I saw this bright crimson, heart-shaped umbrella I thought it’d be perfect for a photo on the streets of Paris in fall or exploring Melbourne’s laneways in the winter. One thing to consider, it doesn’t collapse down into a tiny umbrella for a backpack or handbag. Find Crimson Heart Umbrella here.

2. Luggage

If you’re a little more flush with cash, some gorgeous luggage is always well-received by a travel lover! I’ve had good experiences with Antler and American Tourister products but switched to Lojel in the last few years after working with them and falling in love with their luggage. Strong, sturdy and reliable but still very chic and unique, the Lojel range are my go-to! Find Luggage here.

3. Wanderlust necklace

Put a little wanderlust on your loved one’s heart with a wanderlust necklace. There are a few options here, a handmade rose gold necklace with the word ‘wanderlust’ perfectly shaped or a simple bar necklace with the word ‘wanderlust’ beautifully engraved. These are great for layering or wearing on their own and are a great visual reminder to bring more travel into your life. Find Rose Gold Wanderlust Necklace here and Engraved Wanderlust Bar Necklace here.

4. Gorgeous Robe

Travel lovers know one of the best things about a luxury resort is the ultra-fluffy, luxury bathrobes. They’re a real treat and so cosy! There are a few different options, depending on what your loved one likes. A silk robe is ultra-luxurious, soft and gorgeous while a big, fluffy robe oozes comfort and warmth. Of course, you can’t go wrong with a natural linen bathrobe, dripping in kimono-style comfort and softness. Find Linen Bathrobe here.
