A TEFL Course 

One of the surest ways to experience another culture in a foreign country is to teach English. While this used to be an easy and accessible route, the job market is becoming more saturated in popular South Asian countries like Korea and Japan.

To make sure she stands out to recruiters, she will need some kind of accreditation behind her. A TEFL certificate from ITTT is a 120-hour TEFL/TESOL Online Course that she can take from anywhere and is internationally recognised. It is for sure one of the top travel gifts for her if she is considering either a career in education or a gap year living abroad.

BONUS: Watch our expert webinar in the group that tells you ALL about teaching English abroad, how to pick the right course, how to find a job, etc.

Shipping: This is an online class, so you just need internet access and a computer.

Price: US$239 without a tutor or US$349 with tutor support, videos and a free 50-hour specialized course. Many more courses are available for further certification. Enjoy 10% off the prices by using our official community link in the button below.

Trusted HouseSitters Annual Membership

The most expensive part of traveling is most likely the accommodation. So what if she can find the perfect house for free? If she is an animal lover she can trade an entire home, anywhere in the world, for taking care of furry, fluffy, hairy and even scaly little friends.

Housesitting is the perfect way to travel in comfort for cheap and Trusted HouseSitters pairs credible and verified sitters with owners to create a match made in heaven. Not only is an annual subscription one of the best travel gifts for women that love travel, it’s also a unique gift for women who have pets and are constantly looking for sitters. It’s easy to use with an app, a 24/7 Vet Advice Line, and constant sharing between owner and sitter.

Shipping: This is an online company, so there is no shipping involved.

Price: Sitter or owner-only annual subscription fees are $129/year, or you can get the combined owner/sitter subscription for $189/year.

Travel insurance 

Travel insurance is a must, whether it’s a quick trip to a neighboring country or an entire gap year abroad. She will need reliable and pervasive insurance that provides specific travel medical coverage at an affordable price point to make sure that she is covered for anything from theft to visiting the ER. There’s nothing worse than getting sick abroad, and if she isn’t covered financially and needs medical assistance, it can be devastating.

So while purchasing travel insurance may not seem like one of the best travel gifts for her, it is very practical and always welcome. Our favorite is SafetyWing, which utilizes monthly instalments and can be purchased while she is abroad. In fact, we did a detailed comparison of travel insurance companies and SafetyWing came out on top as the best travel insurance for solo female travelers.

BONUS: SafetyWing insurance covers COVID.

Shipping: Internationally, purchased online

Price: Monthly plans start from $41/ 4 weeks and cover COVID. You can pick your coverage and duration and set up monthly payment methods so you never forget.

A Self-Defense Class

This one’s for those concerned about safety. A self-defense class is a great way to build self-confidence and know how to approach dangerous situations and it could be the difference between safety and fatality.

We suggest IMPACT’s self-defense classes because they are done online from anywhere, so all she needs is a webcam and internet access.

Not only do they teach physical protection, but verbal protection too, because the best fight is no fight at all. That’s why this is one of the most useful travel gifts for her. See the video they did with Tastemade Travel above which won a Webby Award.

IMPACT is a non-profit organization that was founded by CEO Lisa Gaeta, who started developing this particular system in 1987. It has been running for over 30 years, teaching self-defense around the world to people of all genders and ages. She combines negotiation skills and people-management to develop her unique strategies. All classes are taught by women-lead instructors.

Price: $30 for 90min public virtual class. Private classes available. In Person classes will resume when safe. Students will role-play with an instructor via Zoom.

Shipping: This is a virtual class and is available globally.

Loom Shoes

Loom Shoes are probably the footwear with the biggest heart. When you get top designers, engineers, ergonomic specialists, scientists, and adventurers who love the planet all in one room, the result is astounding.

Other than being made from vegan cruelty-free material sourced from some of the most eco-friendly farms in the world, Loom Shoes are incredibly functional. At once they’re waterproof and breathable, lightweight and flexible, comfortable and stylish. They also contain moisture-wicking material and antimicrobial properties that have anti-odor capabilities that destroy bacteria in sweat, so your shoes style fresher for longer.

One pet peeve we have is traveling with soaked socks as water seeps through our shoes, so these all-terrain sneakers for any occasion are the perfect answer to your wetness woes. We put them to the test in Singapore and they succeeded in keeping our feet dry. If they work in the wet weather of Singapore, they are sure to keep you dry on your travels!

Kindle

While she may love the feel of paper on her fingers when lounging by the pool on holiday (we do!), sometimes it’s not practical to bring several books while on the road. This is where an electronic reader like the Kindle comes in handy. She can fit thousands of books into this little device (6,000 in the 8GB alone) and it is better for the eyes when reading novels than a tablet due to the front light shining onto the screen (mimicking sunlight) and not into her eyes.

She can also get the Fire if she wants to use the e-reader for things other than reading or if she plans to read travel guides and wants the images to be displayed in color.

If she already has Kindle, then the perfect addition would just be to purchase a book. Which book would be a good choice?

We’ve written a great article to help you decide! In our article on 100+ Inspirational Books for Women, we’ve included everything from female empowerment, self improvement, travel inspiration and coffee table style travel books to inspire wanderlust. Get our top picks here.

GoPro Camera

There are various models in different price ranges, but we would always suggest the newest versions like HERO8, HERO9 or HERO10.

Ever wondered how all those awesome shots with a fisherman on his boat and the fish swimming under water where taken? It is not the magic of a photographer but the right accessory. For the GoPro all you need is to get a Dome Port and you are sorted.

Selfie Photos Kit 

One item she will need to complete her solo travel is a sturdy tripod or reliable monopod so that she can take great pictures of herself or her surroundings. While there isn’t an actual selfie photo kit that we know of, through our years of travel we’ve combined several items to create the ultimate selfie kit.

The first item on the list is a lightweight tripod that can fit in her carry-on bag. The JOBY GorillaPod Starter Kit is a compact tripod that weighs just under 3 oz for sub-compact cameras that weigh up to 500 grams (it can fit around 360 camera types including phones). The legs are also flexible that can wrap around different objects like tree branches.

Price: $24.06

Her kit is not complete without a selfie stick. Amazon’s top pick is the VPROOF Selfie Stick, which is a lightweight monopod that can extend to 31.9 inches Monopod and has a Bluetooth remote that’s compatible with most modern phones.

Price: $13.99

Budding photographers need something a bit more sturdy and the Joilcan portable tripod is a great option. It’s compact, light weight and made from aluminium so it’s pretty sturdy. The Joilcan extends from 18.5″ up to 80″, weighs 3.37 lb and supports point-and-shoot, mirrorless, and DSLR cameras weighing up to 19 lb. She can mount just about any camera or phone as it has a universal mount and it comes with a monopod!

Just like Goldilocks, the back is neither too bulky, nor too small, but comes apart to create something that is “just right” for the specific travel.

The high-quality PU coated nylon backpack comes with a hip pack, a day pack, a travel pack, a laptop sleeve, and a toiletries kit all in one. Leave the unnecessary part at home or separate to form multiple items, such a cool travel gift for her!

Trouvaille Ceramic Mug

The perfect travel gift for her that is both practical and boastful is this cutesy World Travel Mug. The idea, similar to a world scratch map is to color in each country that she’s visited with a permanent marker. It’s designed and made in Europe with high-quality ceramic and includes a special ceramic pen for colouring the countries. The Mug is both microwave and dishwasher safe, and comes in a capacity of 500 ml or 16.9 oz. 

The company that designs this item is Trouvaille, a European couple who has been travelling together since 2008. Their must-have souvenir from each country they visited was a mug, so they decided to take it a step further to remind them of ALL their trips. 

The word Trouvaille is really cool and means, “A chance encounter with something wonderful; a lucky find” which perfectly represents both their products and philosophy of providing business with a minimal impact on the environment using sustainable practices. All their products are sustainably produced in Europe and come in plastic-free packaging. They also donate part of their profits to a UK environmental and social charity.

Price: Mug – £19.95 (approx. 22 EUR / 26 USD)

DryFoxCo Travel Towel

Our experience with microfiber towels is that they’re either too small or they don’t really absorb the water enough. Along comes DryFoxCo to bring about one of the best travel gifts for her, an XL travel towel that is made from the softest microfiber which absorbs wonderfully and is quick drying. It only weighs 8 oz and comes with a water-resistant pocket to conceal your valuables. There are also pack towels and washcloths available.

Flight Fillow

A fun take on the words “pillow” and “fill”, this super clever invention lets the woman in your life take her sweater or hoodie and turn it into a cushion when traveling. The small contraption fits in her pocket, is easy to wash and adjusts to her own comfort. So now your loved one doesn’t have to schlep along a travel cushion with each trip, dropping it on the floor and then putting it close to their face.

It’s also one of the best travel gifts for her if she loves backpacking. The Flight Fillow is also a great way to pack that extra piece of bulky clothing without taking up space and weight in your luggage.

SABRE Personal Safety Devices

Their personal alarm is compact and sleek and can even be carried on a keychain. Remove the device from the keychain and a 120 decibel alarm that can be heard up to 1000 feet (300m) sounds, attracting attention and fending off would-be attackers.

The perfect way to keep safe while backpacking is to use the door stop alarm. How it works is that she slides it under her door and when door pressure is applied, the extremely loud 120 dB alarm sounds and wakes up and alerts your lady and everyone around her of the potential intruder.

SABRE has also been in partnership with the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) since 2008 in their mission to help women and have since raised over $2M to support treatment and preventative cancer care.

Vegan Leather and Canvas Travel Bags

We’re all for vegan products, but pleather is usually not the classiest of materials. That’s why we highly recommend this timeless and functional bag from White Elm. Their vegan leather just screams quality and their attractive design is classy and just plain beautiful. 

Definitely one of the classier travel gifts for women, their oversized tote gives you the look, feel and texture of leather but it’s totally vegan. It has various pockets including three exterior pockets and five interior pockets and the choice between a longer shoulder strap or easy-carry handles. Digital nomads can even fit their laptops in there.  

White Elm is the brainchild of a busy working mompreneur who wanted the design and functional elements for a perfect bag. She actually created the bag in 2012 when she was pregnant with her first daughter (after quitting her job in banking).

They have 2 lovely green shades and promise that their silk scrunchies won’t damage your hair. The best travel presents for her are usually something with a bit of meaning, a scrunchie could be the answer.

Heidi Siefkas, a Maui-based writer, blogger, and adventurer highly recommends this brand and believes that these products make for the perfect travel gifts for women.

B A S U eAlarm Safety Device

Similar to the SABRE product above, but a bit more fashion-forward, this eAlarm is what all parents need to get their traveling princesses. The device looks like a cute flash drive, but when you detach the top part it creates an enormous SOS call. Listen to the high pitched scream here. As long as the two parts are detached from one another, the sound will continue for 30 minutes. It also serves as an animal deterrent when camping or hiking. 

B A S U takes its social responsibility seriously making sure that all its suppliers are accountable for upholding human rights with fair labor practices and safe working environments. It conducts periodic surveys and audits of a number of our suppliers to assess and verify compliance with their Supplier Code of Conduct and other supply chain requirements.

nCAP Drug-free Pain Relief

We all understand how it is to be in pain. Yet when she’s on the move and gets a sudden cramp in her foot, glittering lights that preempt a migraine, or a severe period cramp, it can change a trip of a lifetime into a nightmare. nCAP is the answer and one of the best travel gifts for women that experience sporadic yet constant pain. 

The product is a drug free alternative for controlling all sorts of pains a traveling woman might experience. It’s a reusable and shareable patch that weighs almost nothing and can be carried in her handbag.

They way this patch works is by embedding billions of tiny high-tech capacitors into a thin flexible patch to create the world’s first nano-capacitive pain relief device. So you just place it “Between the Pain and the Brain” for instant pain relief. So there’s no batteries, no wires, no herbs, no sticky adhesives, and no drugs.  

It also has a 100% money-back guarantee if she finds that it doesn’t work for her.

Pakt Coffee Kit

We are total coffee snobs and one of our pet peeves is being in the fanciest hotel only to be served what seems like hot dirty water in the morning instead of a perfectly brewed cuppa Joe. Pakt is the solution to all coffee woes. They are a responsibly-sourced travel gear company that creates beautiful and cleverly designed travel products with our favorite, the Pakt Coffee Kit. 

This is one of the most unique travel gifts for her, especially if she NEEDS a good cup of Barista-Quality coffee. It’s basically a compact, all-in-one coffee-making kit (everything but a grinder, although there is a container for ground beans).

Along with all the classic components for a pour-over, it even has an electric kettle. As it’s allowed on her carry-on, she can even make a fresh cup on her layover! (Yup there’s even a cup in there). Intelligentsia has even called it “the best on the go kit we’ve found”, and we couldn’t agree more.

We have tested it ourselves and have become instant fans. The pourer runs smooth with a consistent flow of water to make the perfect pour-over every time. The materials are ergonomic and feel great in our hands with a rubbery texture. The kettle heats water to a perfect temperature, and the design is clever, world-class and flawlessly gorgeous. We also love the cover, which looks like a speaker cover from Bang & Olufsen or JBL. One can see that they put a lot of effort into both the technology and the design.

The team at Pakt opted to use modern, durable, technical materials that are animal-friendly and have the lowest possible environmental impact and have recently committed to become Climate Neutral Certified. Products are shipped in 100% plastic-free packaging designed by its sister company, SeaHive.

Shipping: Free in the US if over $125, also to over 225 countries

An Unforgettable Female-only Group Trip 

One of the greatest travel gifts for women who don’t like traveling alone is an unforgettable group trip of a lifetime. Our top pick is responsible travel company G Adventures. One of the things we love about them is that their trips have a lifetime voucher guarantee in case it gets cancelled or postponed. So if she books and can’t travel, she will get the amount in credit to be used anytime with no deadline.

Get her a safari in South Africa’s Kruger National Park, a trip to see the monkeys of East Sabah in Borneo, a 7-day Inca hiking trip to Machu Picchu, a sailing journey through the Greek Islands and so much more. All trips are held by experts and with the World Travel and Tourism Council’s Safe Travels stamp, her safety is taken care of.

Electrolyte Hydration Packs

Sometimes on her travels she can experience the unfortunate situation of losing a whole lot of H2O (Bali and Delhi Belly anyone?). The best way to fight off this unlucky situation is to replenish her body with electrolytes. Instead of trying to find the nearest pharmacy in a foreign city, prepare her accordingly with Ultima Replenisher Electrolyte Hydration that contains six electrolytes and also has zero sugar, calories or carbs and is sweetened only with organic Stevia leaf. 

The powder is vegan, as well as gluten, soy and dairy-free, and to top it all off, it’s keto and paleo-friendly. All she needs to do is mix her favorite flavor with a bottle of water and top herself up to get a new energy. Ultima also is in partnership with (and approved by) the Autism Hope Alliance, the first non-profit foundation for Autism to emerge from the natural foods industry.

H2gO Purifier

Imagine being in a foreign country that is known to have unsafe drinking water, but she’s super thirsty with no market in sight. The answer to all her problems comes in the form of this portable purifier that produces clean water. This makes it the top travel gifts for women that are on humanitarian missions throughout the world.

The H2gO Purifier can treat 10 gallons of water per day with no maintenance, no spare parts, and no consumables other than common salt. And it fits in her pocket! How it works: salt is dissolved in water, electricity is run through this saltwater, which breaks the salt down and chlorine is produced. The electricity can be from any source, including solar power. And because salt is the only ingredient, there is virtually no cost to run them.

The company, Aqua Research, has donated items to major humanitarian organizations for water treatment and COVID-19 response, including Catholic Relief Services, Caris Foundation, USAID, PATH, Hilton Foundation and Operation Blessing to countries ranging from Madagascar, Ghana, Burkina Faso to Liberia.

Price: The Purifier is $99.00

DJI Camera Drone – Phantom 4

The DJI Mavic Air is a very small drone that fits anywhere. If there is something we have learned from years of flying is to buy an extra pair of propellers, in case you crash and they break, and to get extra batteries because they don’t last long. In the button below we have highlighted a combo pack that has everything for amazing photos and videos.

This is the video Mar made after staying at Nihi Sumba mostly using the Mavic Pro. See how easy it is to capture something great.

A Local Tour by Experts

We realised that, although we have been living in Singapore and Australia for years, there is plenty we have yet to see as we usually only really explore our own cities as a tourist when we have visitors and. A great way to re-discover your own city is on an expert tour.

The first option is from Context Travel who offer tours for the intellectually curious ranging from a tour of the wall of Berlin with a Historian to an architecture tour of New York city including Cloisters and Medieval Art or a Food tour of Shanghai. All of their tours include a scholar in the subject, be it a Doctor, an Architect, a Historian, an Anthropologist or even an Archeologist.

Another fantastic option is to select a tour on Getyourguide. We have used them often and have never been disappointed. She will learn something new about the place she is exploring while meeting other tourists and exploring the area safely. All tours are star rated by people that have actually been on them, so it is obvious which are the best.

Bug Bite Thing

If she doesn’t want to lather her clothes in DEET, Bug Bite Thing is the perfect chemical-free and reusable solution alternative for outdoor adventurers to combat insect bites and stings. It’s one of the most useful travel gifts for women that love exploring nature and always get bitten.

The easy-to-use suction tool painlessly and effectively extracts insect saliva/venom from under the skin to eliminate itching, stinging, and swelling. Creams usually just mask this. 

Bug Bite Thing is run by mompreneurs, mother/daughter team Ellen McAlister and Kelley Higney. They appeared on ABC’s ‘Shark Tank‘ and accepted an offer from Lori Greiner. Kelley is now a “mom on a mission” to raise awareness about harmful chemical products in the US that are banned in other countries. 

Shipping: Check for shipping availability on Amazon.  

Price: $9.99 on Amazon with the relevant shipping.

Bite Away Mosquito Bite Recovery

Similar to the Bug Bite Thing, this is a sustainable outdoor healthcare tech product that also makes for one of the most practical travel gifts for her. The product helps mitigate uncomfortable and inconvenient mosquito bites in just 3 to 5 seconds of use. It’s FDA cleared and chemical free and can be administered on expectant mothers, allergy sufferers, and children ages 2+.

What’s different from the above product is that it’s an electronic medical device with a ceramic tip that heats up the area around the skin, not suction. It’s a thermometer-sized device that is easily used by applying the device to the bite and pressing a button. The manufacturer, MibeTec, is a leading medical device company for local thermotherapy based in Berlin, Germany, and has expanded into the U.S.

SelfSafe USB Emergency Identification Bracelet

The device can store Protected Health Information (PHI) and comprehensive personal data such as medical, financial, insurance, travel documents, personal identifications and so on.

The device is so simple to use, just pop the 8GB USB out and place it into a PC, then use the drag-and-drop feature to add all the relevant info.

Save Nature, Save the Planet

A few years ago, as Mar was living in Singapore, the sky became grey with the smoke blown into the country from the burning fires in Sumatra and Kalimantan in Indonesian Borneo. The smoke, generated by the burning fires used to clear the jungle for palm oil, filled the air, making it impossible to breath.

Since then, that reality has not only persisted, it has worsened. Consumers are, after all, the only ones who can do something. If the people stopped palm oil consumption, we would send a strong signal to the brands fuelling this crisis.

Few organizations work hard under inhumane conditions to save as many orangutans as possible from the flames as their homes disappear under the fires every year. These organizations are overwhelmed and lacking in resources. We cannot think of a better travel gift for her in this climate than a donation to these organizations. It is also important to teach our children, the future generation, of the gift of giving and saving our planet. The Rainforest Action Network allows her to become a member or make a once-off donation.

If we burn down their habitat, the poor orangutans will burn down too and extinguish with our planet. Teach our kids about this important cause by making a donation on their behalf.
