Secret Santa Gifts under £10

Even on the lowest budget doesn’t mean you can’t get something meaningful. A little bit of thought can go a long way.

Personalised Luggage Tags

A great thoughtful gift that is practical too. Luggage tags are a great way to spot their case on the carousel at the airport, loved by every traveller.

Travel-themed socks!

How about something a little funnier? They’re practical and will get used, but they don’t have to wait until their next trip! Some travel-themed socks like these are a great Secret Santa gift!

Travel Memory Frame

This is a great choice for someone who goes away a lot and is sentimental. This frame allows you to pop all of your favourite travel memories, such as tickets and boarding cards, into the box. They’ll love it.

Secret Santa Gifts under £20

For a Secret Santa with a little more of a mid-range budget, you can get some really lovely items.

Inspirational Travel Book

For someone always planning their next trip, the Lonely Planet Best of Travel book is a great gift. I’ve received this as a gift a couple of times (previous years obviously) and absolutely loved looking through it, getting inspiration for my next trip and getting all the updates on what’s coming.

Travel Planner / Journal

If your Secret Santa recipient already knows exactly where they’re going, help them with their planning with this lovely travel journal. It’s such a thoughtful gift that any traveller will love.

Travel Pillow

A travel pillow is a really good, practical travel gift that will get plenty of use. A really nice one like this memory foam pillow is a great choice for someone who often likes to be away travelling.

Secret Santa Gifts under £30

If you are looking for a Secret Santa gift that’s a little higher in cost, you can definitely get something really nice and thoughtful for your travel-loving recipient.

Scratch Map

A good scratch map is a great way for someone to mark where they’ve been, this one is really nice as it’s a BIG A1 size and also has flags to scratch off as well as the countries on the map. The price is really good too, so depending on your budget, you may be able to add a frame to display the map once it’s all scratched.

Smartphone Tripod

For the traveller who is always showing you the photos from their trip, a new Smartphone tripod and selfie stick set is a great shout for a Secret Santa gift. They’ll love being able to get the best shot possible.

Solid Shampoo and Conditioner

For the eco-friendly or light-packer traveller, this solid shampoo and conditioner set is a great gift. It takes up much less space than bottles, there’s no worry about having liquids in hand luggage and it gets some great reviews too.

Gift ideas over £30

If the budget is higher than £30, the options are really endless! To help narrow things down, I’ve got a few more options that Travel fans will love.

Portable Phone Charger

Any traveller who is even slightly into tech will love to take photos on their travels, and sometimes phone battery life just isn’t enough. A good power bank takes the worry away from their day and helps them to relax and enjoy their trip.

Passport Organiser

A really lovely gift is a nice leather, passport organiser. This one is big enough for multiple passports, so really good for those organised travellers, and something they will use and cherish for years to come.

Hopefully, this guide has sparked some inspiration for finding the perfect Secret Santa gift for the travel lover in your life! Whether they’re jet-setting around the world or planning their next adventure from home, these thoughtful gifts are sure to bring a smile. Happy gifting!
