Most lovers of travel are fond of the sentiment “fewer things, more travel” and the Travel Buzz Media bloggers agree wholeheartedly. But there’s also no denying that a few “things” can help make the journey – whether that’s a vacation or the journey of life – a little easier and more enjoyable.

These gift guides reflect the personalities and preferences of each travel blogger, you’ll notice a lot of commonality amongst them, though.

Mary Jo Manzanares, Traveling with MJ

Mary Jo has collected recommendations that reflect her personality and travel style, so it’s no surprise to see that a Kindle and camera top her list. She also offers great ideas for a travel gift basket.

She says:

We’re approaching the gift giving season, and while I prefer to take my holidays one at a time (Thanksgiving is Thursday), I know that many readers are busy making shopping plans for this coming holiday weekend – including Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

On Mary Jo’s holiday wish list:  a wildlife safari in Africa.

Kerwin McKenzie, Passrider

Kerwin relies a lot on Amazon and its free delivery options. With direct gift delivery, you can shop from anywhere in the world, Kerwin is always on the go, and have it delivered in time.

He says:

The Holidays are approaching soon and you’ll be out and about getting cool gifts for your loved ones. So, I thought I’d go shopping for you and get you started in the right direction. Before I do though, you should ensure that you are using a credit card that will earn you miles or cash back so you get something in return.

On Kerwin’s holiday wish list:   a Dji Mavic drone, small enough to fit in his backpack.

Betsy & Pete Wuebker, Passing Thru

Betsy and Pete are nomadic, so it might seem surprising that they have a guide of “stuff.” Their collection of common-sense essentials and little luxuries are perfect for a travel lover.

They say:

When it comes to gifts for travelers, gift-givers need to be prudent. Every traveler is concerned about space and weight limitations. At the same time, though, that doesn’t mean we don’t like pretty or luxurious things. Some might even argue since we’re carrying so little with us, everything we have should be something we enjoy seeing and using.

On Betsy and Pete’s holiday wish list:  A trip on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Suzanne Fluhr, Boomeresque

Suzanne’s gift guide is reflective of three of her favorite things – travel, reading, and Zentangle art. She shows how to combine all three in her curated list of recommendations.

She says:

My annual Thanksgiving turkey cooking freak out is well underway, so it must be time to start to think about buying holiday gifts for loved ones. If you were one of those people who swore they’d be done all their holiday gift shopping by the end of November, time is seriously running out. Fortunately, you still have a chance to come in under the wire if you do on-line shopping—not to mention not having to brave the crowds of people at the mall.

On Suzanne’s holiday wish list:  Seeing the Northern Lights.

From all of us at Travel Buzz Media, we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.  (And may that thankfulness carry over to Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and Cyber Monday.)
