There’s nothing like seeing that huge smile on your kiddo’s face on Christmas morning when they unwrap a fabulous gift. But what the heck should you get them? You’ll want fun stuff that they will actually use. Here are some amazing gifts for kids who love travel. This list was approved by my 10-year-old. Happy shopping!
Here are some ideas for kids that like to travel:
WATERPROOF DIGITAL CAMERA: I love looking at pictures my kids take during vacations because they have such a different perspective than I do. It lets them be creative and capture their own memories. This camera is perfect for young kids because it is durable and easy to operate. My favorite feature is it can be used under water! I also like that it uses batteries, so you don’t have to worry about charging it. Click link to purchase.
LILGADGETS WIRELESS BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES: Notice that I put headphones on everyone’s list? That’s because everyone needs a pair when traveling. These Bluetooth wireless headphones are perfect for kids 4 and up. There are pads on the ears and headbands so it’s comfortable to wear. It has 12 hours of battery life and is easy to connect. It comes in 6 fun colors. Click link to purchase.
MOUNTAINTOP BACKPACK: Even the youngest traveler can carry some of their own stuff. It’s perfect for carrying things to entertain them on a plane, road trip, or daytrips. This one has over a dozen colors to choose from and the straps are comfortable. They can even hook small items onto the loops in the front. Recommended for ages 4-10.
PROMOTE 4570 JUNIOR SNORKEL KIT: Our family loves snorkeling and it’s fun to go right off your beach. Foster your kiddo’s sense of adventure by giving them their own snorkel set. It comes with a mask, snorkel with one-way valve, adjustable fins, and a mesh bag. This set is great for kids under 10 years old. Click link to purchase.
COLOR A PEACE BAG by Alex: What I love most about this craft is kids can use it while they are on vacation. They can entertain themselves at restaurants while coloring the bag, and also use the bag to carry their toys. It comes with markers and lets them show off their creativity. I used to get one every year for my girls and the coloring would start as soon as they got on the plane. Click link to purchase.
NINTENDO SWITCH: My 10-year-old told me this was THE number one gift all her friends want this year. The Nintendo Switch is the new home video game system from Nintendo. In addition to providing single and multiplayer thrills at home, the Nintendo Switch system can be taken on the go so players can enjoy a full home console experience anytime, anywhere.

KIDWINZ SHOCK PROOF BINOCULARS: These are great for bird watching, star gazing, sports games, theatres, boat rides, hiking, travel, outdoor fun and enjoying the wilderness! They have good magnification, are easy to focus, and are shock proof. Includes all accessories such as a cleaning cloth, 2-foot long neck strap, manual and carrying case. Click link to purchase.
SLOTH NECK PILLOW by SAZAC: Yep…another sloth gift idea! This one is beyond adorable! Not only is the neck pillow comfortable, but it also includes a hood, so they’ll be really cozy. The soft micro beads they use inside the pillow mold to the form of your neck. I know someone in my household that is getting one…ssshhhhhh. Click link to purchase.
ILLUMINATED WORLD GLOBE: Travel brings out curiosity about the world and this fun globe may help answer lots of questions. It is colorful, interactive, and includes details such as deserts, capitals, and continents. I love that it lights up in the dark and can be used as a nightlight. Click link to purchase.
TRAVEL JOURNAL: I love that kids create lifelong memories in their travels and this journal can help capture them. It gives prompts about planning, activities, and special moments. It also has games and puzzles, so they can bring it to a restaurant and have fun filling it out. Click link to purchase.
TRAVEL-SIZE MAGNETIC BOARD GAMES: This bundle is a great value since you get 12 retro games the entire family can play. The pieces are magnetic so it’s great for when you’re on the go. Play games including Checkers, Chess, Chinese Checkers, Tic Tac Toe, Backgammon, Snakes & Ladders, Solitaire, NineMen’s Morris, Auto Racing, Ludo, Space Venure and Racing. I’m going to buy them and leave them in our car for our road trips. Click link to purchase.
JZK MINI PORTABLE HUMIDIFIER AND NIGHT LIGHT: I always carry a nightlight in my carry-on, but this is so much better. This nightlight also is a cool mist humidifier. It’s easy to use and portable. I think it would also make a great baby gift! Click link to purchase.
BEST EVER BACKSEAT GAMES: “Are we there yet?” We’ve all been there!! This book contains over 100 games and trivia. Quickly go from bored to laughing out loud. This is great for road trips, when you’re sitting at the airport, or even long lines at amusement parks.
ROCKLAND SUITCASE 19 INCH: We love to do carry-on luggage when we fly so a few years ago I got each of my girls their own suitcases. They use it for trips and even just for overnight getaways. This one is spacious and the wheels spin in multi directions. It is lightweight and durable with a great handle. There are over 20 colors to choose from and some are super fun.
KINDLE FIRE HD 10: What I love most about a Kindle is you can download tons of audible books, so kids can read or listen when they’re on the go. Perfect for bedtime stories too! Kids can also download lots of games. This one comes with a durable cover and it also includes 1 year of Amazon FreeTime Unlimited. A layover is the perfect time to play some multiplication games!
LEGO ARCHITECTURE KITS: Bring the world to your kids with this line of Legos in the Architecture line. Build fabulous creations like the Capitol Building, NYC skyline, London Bridge, Venice, the Louvre, the Great Wall of China, and many more! Have fun building and then display your masterpiece!
