Looking for ideas on what to get the sober traveler in your life? Although technically, these gifts can be great for anyone who loves to travel, as a sober traveler, every one of these items has made my journey as a sober traveler more comfortable and enjoyable than those airplane cocktails ever could!
#1 Mindsky Phone Ring Holder Finger Kickstand Retractable 360°Rotation Ultra-Thin Cell Phone Back Grip Foldable Cellphone Stand
If you or anyone you know takes photos when traveling, this is for you. I’m asked for a link to this item at least once a week! I’ve tried tripods and selfie sticks, but sometimes simplicity wins. This phone stand lets you prop up your phone nearly anywhere, in any position, and take photos without asking a stranger.
#2 Bluetooth 5.0 Remote Shutter for iPhone & Android Camera Wireless Remote Control Selfie Button
To go with item number one, snag one of these Bluetooth remotes to help you take a photo. TIP: make sure the remote isn’t hiding behind a subject, or your phone might have difficulty detecting it.
#3. Power Plug Adapter
For the international traveler – a converter that works in every country! This power plug adapter comes with both an outlet and USB ports. You can thank me later!
#4. riemot Luggage Travel Cup Holder Free Hand Drink Caddy
Travelers in sobriety will know we love to stay hydrated! This cup holder will store non-alcoholic drinks they will have along the way. Whether it’s a can of LaCroix, your second Starbucks of the day, or a big bottle of water, this will sure come in handy for the sober traveler in your life.
#5. Multi Charging Cable
Keep all your devices charged at once with this 3 in one charging cord. If you’re like me, you have multiple cameras, headphones, and other electronics, all using different charging ports. This multi-charging cable has all the cords you need in one!
#6. Portable Perfume Atomizer Refillable
Does your travel buddy like smelling good while traveling? This simple decanter was one of my boyfriend’s favorite Christmas gifts he’s ever received! Rather than spending money on smaller-sized colognes or perfumes for travel (or risk packing your big one), these decanters allow you to fill them with your favorite scent and pop them into your carry-on or purse!
#7. SHANJE Luggage Scale
Just because we’re sober doesn’t mean we don’t overpack! This handy travel scale is perfect for the partner who packs anything but “light,” so avoid those last-minute rearranging clothes at the airport. Your travel buddy can pack to their heart’s content without paying extra baggage fees or exposing the entire contents of their suitcase in Terminal A.
#8. Aestoria Inflatable Footrest Air Travel
In it for the long haul (flight)? This easy-to-inflate footrest changed the game for me when traveling overseas. I used to dread being unable to put my feet up on a long flight and could never get that feeling just to put my feet up and relax. Adjustable levels, Quick and quiet to inflate and deflate, no electronics involved, and takes up minimal space.
#9. Wireless Transmitter/Receiver with Audio Sharing for up to 2 AirPods/Wireless Headphones
Why have airplanes not caught up with Bluetooth technology? Who knows? Fortunately, we have a solution. For the traveler who loves to watch movies but hates those cheap, wired headphones, this Bluetooth converter will be a lifesaver. Your favorite traveler can watch their favorite movies with their favorite noise-cancelling headphones.
For travelers who care about sound quality, pairing a Bluetooth transmitter with premium wireless headphones or in-ear monitors can completely upgrade the in-flight experience. Retailers like https://www.moon-audio.com/ carry high-end headphones, portable DACs, headphone amplifiers, and travel-friendly audio gear from top audio brands for travelers who want better sound on the go.
Scratch The World ® Travel Map – Scratch Off World Map Poster
For the traveler who has everything for traveling – consider this scratch-off board so they can proudly display all the places, they’ve been!
