Christmas 2025 gifts ideas
Nilox - Carrycam Retro Style
The Carrycam is the kind of object that makes you say “how cute!” the moment you see it. And once you try it, you realize there’s much more behind its kawaii design. Nilox created a gadget that looks like a cross between a tiny spy camera and a collectible keychain, but with its own personality. It’s the perfect gift for those who love travel-friendly tech that’s light, space-saving, and above all, fun: spontaneous vlogs, aesthetically grainy clips reminiscent of family VHS tapes, creative photos thanks to built-in filters that nod to the analog world. Weighing only 18 grams, this mini cam captures up to 75 minutes of continuous HD footage, more than enough to document an afternoon in the city, a day at a Christmas market, or a solo trip where every moment becomes a memory ready for Reels. File transfer is instant: plug in, download, share. Ideal for capturing moments instinctively, without setting up scenes or chasing perfect lighting. With the Nilox Carrycam, everything is intuitive, cute, and super social-ready.
In Any Case – Set Wanderlust
The Wanderlust set was created for those who consider their beauty routine an emotional survival ritual. Whether you’re sleeping in a remote hostel or a Copenhagen boutique hotel, you still want your skin to feel fresh, hydrated, glowing, and you definitely don’t want your beauty bag to weigh a ton, right? In Any Case developed a set that looks minimal, yet functions like a compact spa. Seven essential products formulated with natural ingredients beloved by mindful travelers: coconut oil to nourish, aloe vera to soothe, grapefruit and lemon notes to wake your skin after a sleepless night or a flight with brutal air conditioning. The Wanderlust set is perfect for those tackling extreme itineraries, trekking lovers, or anyone hopping continents without leaving their hydration behind at the airport.
My Style Bags – Harvard Honey Way Duffel
There are travel bags… and then there are icons. The Harvard Honey Way duffel from My Style Bags definitely belongs to the latter. It’s the kind of gift that brings a moment of silence followed by a collective “wow” when unwrapped. Handmade entirely in Italy, it combines pure craftsmanship with an innovative beeswax-treated fabric that ensures durability, softness, and a beautiful natural sheen. Its honey-toned palette makes it warm, elegant, and as inviting as an Italian sunset. Deep brown leather details add the sophisticated allure loved by those who refuse to compromise on style or function. It’s spacious yet lightweight, sturdy yet refined, practical yet exclusive. And the option to personalize it with initials or a name makes it a unique, almost intimate gift. If your goal is to give someone an accessory that lasts for years and reflects a respectful, elegant, conscious way of traveling, this is the king of premium travel bags.
The North Face – Hike Devils Thumb GORE-TEX®
Part of the new HiKe collection, the Devils Thumb jacket merges futuristic materials, contemporary aesthetics, and a vision of travel that goes beyond trekking to embrace culture, cities, and adventure. The SPECTRA® fabric provides exceptional durability, lightweight, sturdy, and built to withstand years of intense use. The GORE-TEX® membrane protects against rain, wind, snow, and unexpected weather conditions. But the real beauty of the jacket lies in its balance: high-performance technical construction with a design that blends seamlessly into urban lifestyle. You can wear it in the Alps, downtown Berlin, or on a rainy day in Milan. It’s a major gift, meant for those who live the outdoor lifestyle as a philosophy. For anyone looking for garments that aren’t just clothes, but promises of future journeys.
Huzi - Infinity Pillow
Huzi’s Infinity Pillow is the invisible best friend of anyone who spends too many hours sitting on planes, buses, trains, or questionable chairs. It’s not your typical U-shaped travel pillow, but a hybrid that resembles a soft, flexible scarf you can wrap and twist however you like. The breathable, cool, antibacterial bamboo fabric is a comfort boost for those who suffer from harsh air conditioning or tend to get cold during flights. The inner microfiber layers compress beautifully, allowing the pillow to disappear into your suitcase in seconds. A smart gift for anyone who wants more comfort without sacrificing half their luggage space. No wonder it’s the favorite of strategic micro-nappers everywhere.
Dudubags - Samo AirTag Keychain
The Samo keychain by Dudubags is a small concentration of utility and style: soft leather, clean design, and an AirTag slot that saves minutes (and anxiety) every day. It’s perfect for those with a thousand keys, serial key-losers, or anyone who wants to stay organized without giving up a chic, minimalist look. A simple yet brilliant gift, great as a small present, an add-on, or a detail to complement a bigger gift. If your budget allows and you want to “complete” it, add an Apple AirTag.
Airbnb - Gift Card
Simple. Brilliant. Freeing. An Airbnb Gift Card is the kind of present that opens doors: romantic weekends, last-minute escapes, forest cabins, urban lofts, ocean-view rooms. It’s a universal pass that puts the most precious gift in the hands of whoever receives it, choice. Perfect for friends, couples, colleagues… literally anyone. Especially ideal for those who prefer experiences over things. Just choose a destination, pack your bag, leave, and enjoy the gift.
Palomar - Crumpled City
Palomar maps look great even when they seem destroyed. Lightweight, resistant, waterproof, designed to be folded, crumpled, and used as they are. They’re the perfect alternative to a phone. Imagine: no battery, no unstable GPS, just a contemporary-design map guiding you through monuments, streets, and “soulsights,” places selected to truly inspire. A perfect gift for lovers of cartography, for city collectors, or for those who want to rediscover the pleasure of wandering and getting lost slowly. Ideal for real urban explorers.
Anthony Bourdain – In giro per il mondo
Giving a travel book is like giving a ticket to a new place, but with no return date. And Bourdain’s book is more than a guide, it’s a companion of adventures narrated in his rough, sharp, honest voice. Inside, you’ll find everything: tips, curiosities, personal memories, unlikely places, and gastronomic recommendations no “classic” guide would dare include. A perfect gift for those who love reading, exploring, and being surprised, those seeking authentic travel inspiration far from brochure-style itineraries. Want something even more chic? Try Herb Lester guides: beautifully designed, carefully written, and dedicated to experiencing cities like an insider, following the footsteps of Joan Didion in Los Angeles, Ian Fleming in London, or Serge Gainsbourg in Paris.
Aspinal of London - Zipped Travel Collection
When it comes to travel accessories, nothing compares to a true classic. Whether you're heading out for a long-haul adventure or a slow, cosy weekend away, this handcrafted full-grain leather set keeps your essentials secure while adding a refined touch of elegance.

Loop - Quiet 2 Noise-Reduction Earplugs
For frequent flyers, commuters, and anyone who values peace during their journey, the Loop Quiet 2 is a small yet transformative essential. Made from soft, flexible silicone, these certified hearing-protection devices reduce unwanted noise without sacrificing comfort or style. Wherever you are, drifting off to sleep, trying to focus, or navigating a crowded terminal, they help you retreat into your own world. The Quiet 2 model provides instant noise reduction in any situation: travel, relaxation, work commutes, concentration, hypersensitivity, and more. Designed to last and easy to clean, these earplugs are a smart and minimalist addition to modern travel accessories, and a surprisingly useful idea within the realm of practical Christmas gifts.
Gucci - Luggage Stickers
For travellers with a playful spirit and a love for luxury, Gucci’s luggage stickers are a whimsical and stylish way to personalise any suitcase. Available in three versions, the collection features colourful designs inspired by the ever-evolving heritage of the Maison. One set pays tribute to world cities, another references the brand’s iconic bags, and the third draws from the Gucci Valigeria travel line. An unconventional yet delightful option among gift ideas for travellers, these stickers bring instant character to trolleys, carry-ons, and travel trunks, a small detail that makes every journey feel unmistakably theirs.
Issey Miyake - iPhone Pocket
Born from the collaboration between Apple and Issey Miyake, the iPhone Pocket is far more than a simple phone holder, it’s a wearable piece of design. Crafted with a distinctive 3D knitted construction, it stretches to fit any iPhone and small daily essentials, while its ribbed open structure subtly echoes the brand’s iconic Pleats Please aesthetic. Conceived as an extra, adaptable pocket, it fully envelops the phone yet expands to reveal glimpses of the display when stretched. The accessory can be worn in various ways: handheld like a mini bag, attached to another bag as a functional charm, or worn across the body. Available in two lengths and eleven colourways, the shorter strap comes in lemon, mandarin, violet, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, and black; the longer strap in sapphire, cinnamon, and black. Soft yet durable, it comfortably holds any iPhone alongside essentials like AirPods or lip balm. A limited-edition design piece that blends practicality and style, making it an unforgettable highlight among modern travel gifts and more fashion-forward gift ideas for travellers.
