Great Gifts for Travelling Families at Christmas

Travelling can be stressful, especially if you’re doing so at a busy time of year. Arguably, Christmas is one of the busiest times of year and travelling during the seasonal period can be nothing if not hectic. However, Christmas is also a time of year for giving, so if you’re travelling over the holidays then why not see if you can incorporate that love of travel into the gifts you buy for your family this year?

Here are some great gift suggestions to consider for people travelling around Christmas this year, whether it’s helping them to travel smoothly or creating new ways to make travelling more exciting and interesting.

Heelys

These popular skating trainers have been a hit with kids for years, and it’s not hard to see why. The hidden heels turn the shoes into roller skates whenever you like, giving children the opportunity to glide around at speed instead of walking. If you’re planning on doing a lot of walking while travelling this Christmas, then a pair of Heely’s may be worth investing in to keep your children interested.

Travel World Map

Make travelling more interesting by encouraging your children to look at all the places they’ve been to and mark them off on their portable map. Not only is it a great education tool, but you can use it encourage an active interest in travel. It gives the children something to focus on, too, and they’ll get a kick out of watching the map fill up with marks to show where they’ve been to.

Novelty Backpacks

A stylish backpack is a must-have travel accessory, one that offers plenty of storage as well as an appealing design. If you have children, a novelty backpack can be great gift when travelling over the Christmas period. There are so many different designs, from movie themes to backpacks shaped like animals, and can be a great way for your child to show off their personality a bit whilst keeping all of their things together.

Coats and Jackets

Winter is a cold time of year, and if you’re travelling during this season then it’s important to make sure that you have the right clothes to hand. With Christmas approaching, it makes sense to incorporate this necessity into the gift-giving process. There are lots of well-designed coats that will help to keep you warm as well as protecting you from the weather, no matter what condition. While it may not be the most exciting present, it’s the height of practicality and an absolute-must for travellers.
