 Cute camera strap<\/a> \u2013 Every photographer needs a cute camera strap for their prized treasure. Plus, you get to support an awesome family business with this purchase. Win, win if you ask me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Memory card <\/a>\u2013 Call me crazy, but you can never have too many memory cards. Surefire way to ruin a good trip for a photographer \u2014 a full memory card with no backups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mid-Range ($100 and Under<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ultimate camera bag<\/a> \u2013 Every true photography lover traveler needs the ultimate backpack and Evecase bags have some of the highest reviews of all camera bags on Amazon. I have a friend who has one and loves it and I have one on my list for Christmas. Who knows, maybe I\u2019ll get one! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portable tripod <\/a>\u2013 The GorillaPod is my best friend when traveling and hiking. Lightweight, portable, and able to stand up pretty much everywhere (even wrapped around a tree), the GorillaPod is the perfect tripod for all travelers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top of the Budget ($100 and up<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Handheld tripod for videos<\/a> \u2013 Do you have an aspiring videographer in your life? Then the FlowMotion is the perfect gift! We love supporting smaller companies so when we first heard about FlowMotion we knew we had to get our hands on this nifty little apparatus that turns your phone into a video camera. Will be updating the blog soon with our experiences playing around with this gadget!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personalized bag tag<\/a> \u2013 You don\u2019t want to be the horrible person who accidentally grabs someone else\u2019s bag after a long international flight (been there, done that). Help your loved ones avoid this catastrophe by gifting them a beautiful personalized bag tag!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cozy slippers<\/a> \u2013 On long flights I hate keeping my feet in tight shoes. But\u2026 the ground is disgusting, so I can\u2019t go barefoot. Entire my all-time favorite slipper! Acorn slippers are the best (I have many pairs) and they even have a packable slipper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Map Art <\/a>\u2013 Earlier this year I received my very favorite piece of art \u2014 a map of Dublin. Every day when I walk into our new apartment in Seattle I am reminded of the home we had in Ireland and it gives me all the warm and fuzzies. Modern Map Art makes the perfect map art printed on high quality paper and it makes for the perfect gift for that map lover in your life. See below for my Instagram photo featuring my beautiful art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Framed Postcards from their favorite city \u2013 My friend has a wall of vintage Seattle postcards framed in cheap Ikea frames that I LOVE. It is such a unique and cute idea on a budget. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mid-Range ($100 and under<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Desk Globe<\/a> \u2013 You can\u2019t go wrong with a beautiful globe for the desk. Snag this vintage globe at a great price to fuel that travel lover\u2019s wanderlust on a daily basis. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compass Wall clock<\/a> \u2013 I\u2019m a sucker for a nice wall clock and this compass wall clock is perfect for a traveler\u2019s wall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top of the Budget ($100 and up<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Vintage Suitcase Nightstand<\/a> \u2013 I am a sucker for cool pieces of furniture and I\u2019ve had my eye on this nightstand for a long time. I imagine most frequent travelers have a vintage suitcase furniture piece on their wishlist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

See why I\u2019m in love with my Modern Map Art?<\/a> By far my favorite piece of decor in my entire apartment! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the \u201cWalk-A-Holics\u201d in your life<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Budget ($30 and under<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Walking socks <\/a>\u2013 This might sound crazy, but the wrong socks can welcome the worst blisters. With these socks, I\u2019ve never been graced with the unwelcome sight of blisters! Tis\u2019 the season for blister-less feet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mid-Range ($100 and under<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The best walking shoes ever <\/a>\u2013 Allbirds are my new favorite shoe. They are washable, comfortable, and cute! I\u2019ve clocked a number of miles in these shoes and absolutely adore them. By far the best gift I have received in a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comfortable carrying all day long <\/a>\u2013 Ivar backpacks have a fancy patent to show that they have the best weight distribution technology of all backpacks. The walk-a-holic in your life will appreciate the back saving after a full day of hauling around their gear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top of the budget ($100 and up<\/em>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The perfect ballet flat<\/a> \u2013 Yes, these flats are insanely expensive, but\u2026 I can promise you that the female walker in your life will LOVE these shoes. I haven\u2019t splurged on these yet personally, but I tried a pair of my friend and the moment I put them on I felt like I was walking on air. If you can afford them, they are 100% worth the investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A cute fitness tracker<\/a> \u2013 As a walker, my favorite thing to do after a long day trekking around is to figure out how much I walked. Unfortunately, most fitness trackers aren\u2019t cute and I am immediately unmotivated to wear an ugly black wrist-band. But, with Ringly beautiful jewelry also serves as a fitness tracker! This gorgeous tracker is at the top of my wish list! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So there you have it!  A full shopping list for all types of travelers in your life. Enjoy browsing these fun options and\u2026 Happy Holidays!! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
