Holiday Gift Ideas For Photo Lovers

Fujifilm Instax Wide Printer

Hands down, there is something special about memories captured as polaroids.

It’s a memory you can hold in your hand.

What’s cool about this printer is that it transforms any photo you’ve taken into a polaroid!

Plus, you can print a photo as many times as you want. Perfect for sharing.

Fujifilm Instax Wide Camera

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4867713″]

For more of a “true” polaroid photography experience, this camera is the latest & greatest in the Instax line.

As someone who used the Instax mini line for years, I LOVE how images taken on this camera are TWICE the size.

Definitely an upgrade!

Plus, it comes with accessories like a camera strap, selfie mirror, & batteries.

Fujifilm Instax Wide Film

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4867718″]

For both of the above ideas, don’t forget the film!

This way, the gift will be ready-to-go straight out of the box. What better time to snap some polaroids than on Christmas?!

Peak Design Tech Pouch

You know the cords, headphones, & SD cards that are strewn throughout carry-on bags?

Keep them (and more) organized in this sleek pouch!

There’s plenty of pockets & pouches. Best of all, it’s waterproof. So, your most important tech accessories stay safe.

Really, the question is: Who doesn’t need this?!

Peak Design Slide Camera Strap

While most cameras come with straps, none offer the versatility of this one.

You can wear it 3 ways: on the shoulder, neck or as a sling.

Not only does it attach securely, but the strap has grips which help it to stay on the shoulder.

Perfect for outdoor photography! Honestly, I can’t imagine using another strap on hikes, road trips, or city strolls.

LaCie Rugged Mini External Hard Drive

Of all the camera accessories to forget on a trip, I think an external hard drive is one of the worst.

Without it, you have nowhere to backup all of the carefully captured photos and videos!

You may be wondering what’s so important about the “rugged” version.

This means it’s extra protected against drops, rain, & dust.

After experiencing multiple broken non-rugged hard drives (and therefore, photos gone forever), I now only use the rugged LaCie’s.

Best Video Tripod for Solo Travelers

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872482″]

If you’re looking for a travel gift for women who are social media savvy, then I’m sure they’ll appreciate a gift that helps take video!

After all, Instagram Reels & TikTok videos seem to be the way of the future.

What’s awesome about this tripod is that it can automatically track subjects, zoom, and pan 360 degrees.

The result? Super smooth, panning videos that a traditional tripod could never match.

It’s almost as if a person is taking the video!

Travel Essentials that Wellness Girlies Will Adore

Mindful Affirmation Cards

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872490″]

Nothing brings a breath of fresh air while traveling quite like these reminders.

Wherever your loved one goes, they’ll have words of encouragement & love accompanying them.

Talk about a gift that keeps giving!

Paddywax Diffuser & Incense Holder

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872494″]

Imagine arriving home after a long flight or drive, and being greeted by an amazing scent.

That’s what oil diffusers do!

Unlike candles, they don’t need to be lit. So, they create longlasting fragrance that you can count on day after day.

OSEA Body & Face Travel Set

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872499″]

Know someone who cares about sustainability and skincare?

Then they’ll enjoy this travel-ready kit that is cruelty free, vegan, & made of clean ingredients.

Collection of bestsellers includes the Ocean Cleanser, Hyaluronic Sea Serum, Atmosphere Protection Cream, Undaria Algae Body Oil, & Vegan Leather Bag.

Supergood! Mineral Powder Sunscreen SPF 35

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872503″]

If you’re wanting travel gifts for women that will provide daily use, then this easy-to-use sunscreen is a great choice!

Let’s be real, no one enjoys reapplying sunscreen.. It can be sticky, uncomfortable, & especially difficult to do over makeup.

That’s where this genius powder sunscreen comes in! Like other setting powders, it goes on undetectably over makeup.

Hands down, a travel essential.

Shampoo & Conditioner Bars with Travel Tins

Bottles can be messy, confusing, & downright frustrating to travel with.

So why not avoid the hassle and have a dedicated haircare set for trips.

Of all the bars I’ve tested, Canada-based Unwrapped Life is my favorite.

They offer variations based on hair types and needs. Whichever you determine is best, it comes with stylish, convenient gold tins for storage.

Plus, these bars are gentler on the planet as they come free of plastic!

Gifts for the Outdoor Adventurers

Nature Meditation Cards

For those who answer the calling to nature, these cards will make outdoor experiences more meaningful, thoughtful, & reflective.

As a nature lover myself, I find myself reaching for these extra during the rainy season when it’s harder to get outside.

With these, I can relive my experiences and connect with nature from the comfort of indoors.

ENO Tie Dye Double Hammock

Whenever I talk about this hammock, I get so many compliments!

Because of how compact it is, it’s simple to bring along on hikes, camping trips, & even flights.

And, it fits 2 people.

MPOWERD Luci String Lights

Shopping for a happy camper? Then make their camp setup feel a little more like home with these solar-powered lights.

My boyfriend and I use ours inside ground tents & rooftop tents. So cozy and easy to recharge while off-the-grid!

Roaming America: Exploring All the National Parks

This gift idea is close to my heart, because it’s actually one I received last year.

Written by a famous adventure travel blogger, this coffee table book provides beautiful guides to each of America’s national parks.

Bonus points if your recipient is curious about van life.

National Geographic’s 100 Hikes of a Lifetime

Shopping for a global traveler? Then this book filled with bucket list hikes is sure to inspire day hikes to multi day backpacking outings – and everything in between.

Travel Gifts for Women – Presents for Any Traveler

Calpak Luka Duffle & Belt Bag

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872511″]

Fresh, modern travel bags not only make traveling easier but also more enjoyable!

Both of these are staples for me. Why?

The duffle bag is perfect for weekend or overnight trips. Conveniently, it can slide through the handle of a suitcase – making it a breeze to get through airports.

As you probably know, belt bags / fanny packs are back in style!

Compared to others, the Luka Belt Bag is super spacious. (Fits my vlogging camera, tripod, & microphone!)

Stanley Adventure Quencher Tumbler

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872513″]

THE tumbler of 2022.

If you can catch it while it’s in stock, then luck must be on your side!! (These Stanley cups have been blowing up on social media).

What makes them stand out is how much they can hold & still fit in a standard size car cupholder. And, don’t forget about the trendy colors.

Read my full review of the Stanley Adventure Quencher 40 oz here.

Rumpl Blankets

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872535″]

Adventure-ready blankets that you can count on for warmth, durability, & sustainability.

Plus, they look great in photos!! (There’s a hook that allows you to wear it like a cape).

Made of 100% recycled materials.

She’s Birdie Personal Safety Alarm

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872515″]

Another must-have on the list of travel gifts for women — particularly solo travelers!

When activated, lights flash and a high-pitched siren sounds.

Clip the small alarm onto bags, lanyards, or tuck it into clothing. Just in case.

Stocking Stuffers That’ll Bring a Smile

Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Socks

No matter where I go, one cozy staple I always bring is fuzzy socks!

Since Barefoot Dreams is known for its luxuriously soft fabrics, these are a no brainer.

Rite in the Rain Notebook

The reason this is my favorite travel journal is because it’s small, portable, & WATERPROOF.

So, you can document your adventures, thoughts, & ideas whenever inspiration strikes.

Anker Portable Charger

Keep devices fully charged on-the-go with this sleek charger.

So sleek and lightweight, in fact, that you may forget it’s in your bag.

Winter Fashion Accessories

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872537″]

What holiday season is complete without cozy wool socks, beanies, or mittens!?

Hair Scrunchies

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872538″]

It’s tricky to find high quality, stretchy scrunchies that don’t hurt… These are definitely the best, that’s why I wear them every single day!

Touchland Hand Sanitizer Gift Set

[show_shopthepost_widget id=”4872540″]

After recent years, it’s certainly wise to keep hand sanitizers handy.

And these are some of the nicest ones out there! Clean ingredients, moisturizing, & amazing scents.
