1. Personalised Photo Frame

By giving your favourite travel-loving couple a personalised photo frame, you’ll be helping them to not only decorate their home with something lovely, but also the chance for them to relive their vacation memories over and over again. We particularly love this beach vibes photo frame if you’re based in the US and this sweet “The Adventures Of…” frame if you’re in the UK.

2. Personalised Map Poster

What could be better for a couple who loves to travel than a large map of the world that they can use to make a note of all the places they want to go together and all the places they have been together. This elegant black and gold personalised map poster and this monochrome corkboard map are both great options!

3. Romantic Map Art

Maps can also be ridiculously romantic when they’re personalised to where your favourite couple met – or even where they got engaged or married. You could make your own using this tutorial from our sister site House of Mahalo. You can also buy them if you’re short on time or want something fancier like this stunning personalised foil map print or this colourful long-distance love print.

4. Ultimate Journeys for Two Book

Written by Mike and Anne Howard (officially the World’s Longest Honeymooners) and published by National Geographic, this inspirational travel coffee table book will help your favourite couple to dream up their next romantic escape from the comfort of their living room sofa. Lovely!

5. Personalised Travel Journal or Scrapbook 

If your favourite travel-loving couple are bloggers or people who simply like to write down their adventures after they have them, then they’ll love to receive a personalised travel journal or scrapbook from you. You could make your own (like our friend did for our travel-themed wedding) or you could buy one readymade. Take a look at this simple monochrome scrapbook, this charming “Adventures Of Us” scrapbook and this sweet little journal for some ideas.

6. Travel Photo Print

Do they love to display photos and artwork around their home? Then why not treat them to a beautiful framed travel photo print. You can find lots of options on Etsy – we particularly love the prints from Andy Holmes, JW Irvine and TravelPrintStoreCo. Their favourite photographer might also sell some prints via their own website. You could even get some of their own photos blown up into a larger size and framed for an extra special straight-from-the-heart gift for your favourite travelling couple.

7. Matching Luggage Tags

Do you think they might like a matching set of personalised luggage tags? We think they will! Check out these leather luggage tags on Etsy, which suit both men and women and are cheaper than you might think!

8. Matching Passport Holders

And why not go one step further and buy them some matching passport holders while you’re at it! There are so many designs you could choose from but we especially love these charming ones for married couples, these sweet ones for loved-up couples at any stage of their relationship and these chic gold foil ones.

9. Scratch-Off Bucket List Poster

Who doesn’t love the novelty of a scratch-off poster? Grab one that’s travel or date-night themed for your favourite couple and they’ll have lots of fun trying out new things! Check out this 100 dates version, this bucket list version and this alternative bucket list version for some ideas. You can even buy an “after quarantine” version, which they can eventually make use of once things have gone back to normal. That’ll be fairly soon, right? *prays silently in the corner*

10. A Year of Dates or Bucket List Adventures

Or instead of a scratch-off poster to help them come up with adventurous ideas for new and exciting dates and trips, why not try something like “A Year of Dates” gift, these couples’ bucket list cards or these fun travel challenge cards?

11. Sushi Making Kit

Are they like us and were supposed to be travelling to Japan one day? Grab them a fun gift like this beginners’ sushi making kit and they’re sure to have lots of fun in the kitchen together. They’ll also get a yummy taster of what’s waiting for them when they finally do get to Japan!

12. Matching Travel-Inspired Keyrings

Here’s another sweet option for them to have something matching, which won’t bust the bank: travel-inspired keyrings! These are adorable for long-distance couples, these ones can be personalised with their initials, while these ones can be personalised with their initials and birthstones.

13. Matching Travel Mugs

Here’s another adorable matching gift for loved-up couples: travel mugs! This sweet design is great for camping fanatics, this design is great for mountain and outdoor lovers and these ones look great and are insulated to keep their coffees or teas warm!

14. Fun Travel Game For Two

Here’s another fun affordable gift idea: travel games for couples. Check out this pocket-sized Mr & Mrs travel game. And these cards are great for conversation starters when they’re on the road while these game cards are perfect for a couple of hours of silly travel-inspired fun!

15. Luxury Travel Experience Gift

And finally, if your favourite couple already have everything they could possibly want or need, then why not buy them something that will help them to go on new adventures and make more memories together? You could buy them a specific experience from websites like Virgin Experience Days or BuyAGift, or you could also try the website Tinggly, which is another travel gift experience company – but with two major differences. First, there’s no expiration date on the experience! And second, each gift box allows your favourite travelling couple to choose their own experience in countries all over the world! Cool, huh?! Alongside experiences, you could even buy a gift card they can use when travelling such as one from Airbnb, Hotels.com or Get Your Guide.
