If you are looking for gift ideas for a traveling on your holiday gift list, you may be unsure of what to buy. Instead of buying a Lonely Planet
guide book or a map of a foreign country, why not take our advice on gift ideas for travelers?
Here are the 5 best gift ideas for travelers in 2010
1. IPOD
The Apple iPod touch
is a perfect gift idea for travelers. It has built-in Wi-Fi, which can eliminate the need for traveling with a laptop. Travelers can also use the iPod touch to listen to music, watch movies and use travel related apps – like language learning.
2. DIGITAL CAMERA
There are many options out there when it comes to digital cameras, but for my traveling I am a big fan of the Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera
. It is small and compact and it takes GREAT pictures. I have tried several different digital camera brands (Sony, Fuji, Nikon) and have found the Canon PowerShot SD1300 IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera to be the best small point-and-shoot digital camera on the market. It even does surprisingly well on the night-time shooting mode.
Of course, for the more professional travel photographer you can go with the Canon EOS Rebel T2i 18 MP Digital SLR Camera
. It takes even better photos – but it is larger and heavier to carry around.

3. USB FLASH DRIVE
More than just a USB flash drive, the flight-safe Swiss Army Victorinox Swissflash Ruby Mini Multi-Tool 4GB USB Flash Drive
is a super tool. It offers 4GB of storage as well as a screwdriver, scissors, retractable ballpoint pen, key ring, small blade and nail file. It actually is available in 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB.
This is a great gift idea for the traveler that is using only a carry-on because so many tools are in this one little compact package.
4. TRAVEL ADAPTER
A must-have for the international traveler, the Kensington Travel Plug Adapter with USB Charger
is the perfect choice for a travel adapter. It is a compact all-in-one travel adapter. And it has the bonus of having a built-in USB charger, which is great for your iPod or cell phone.
5. MINI FLASHLIGHT
As a traveler, you never know when you might end up in the dark, such as on a stalled subway train stuck in the tunnel. That is where a Super Bright 9 LED Heavy-Duty Compact Aluminum Flashlight
comes in handy. I always carry a mini-flashlight with me when I am traveling – especially when I am taking trains and public transportation. You can also experience a power outage at your hotel. Have you ever had to descend 17 flights of stairs in the dark without a flashlight?
