8 Travel Gifts Under $10

It's that time of year!

Are you looking for inexpensive, but thoughtful gifts for the traveler in your life? Here are some of my favorite practical travel gifts that are all under $10 on Amazon.com.

Travel Journal

My kids gave me a travel journal for my birthday this year. It's a great place to record what we did and our favorite memories from each trip. This top-rated travel journal has lots of visual appeal for less than $10.

Distinctive Luggage Tag

An eye-catching luggage tag is a great way to set your luggage apart from all the other bags on the airport carousel. Amazon has many inexpensive luggage tags to choose from. I love these colorful, top-rated luggage tags for under $5! 

Secure Travel Wallet

The KEAFOLS Neck Wallet holds passports, cash, and cards and can easily be worn under clothing. It's a handy item for airports, international travel, and theme parks. Bonus: this travel wallet is RFID (radio frequency) protected so that your card information can't be scanned and stolen. 

Waterproof Smart Phone Pouch

This floating waterproof pouch lets you to use your phone while keeping it safe from water, sand, and dirt. I would use this at the beach, theme parks with water rides, kayaking, and rafting.

Mad Libs

Mad Libs never go out of style. Our kids started learning the difference between nouns, verbs, and adjectives in preschool with this hilarious family activity. Years later, Mad Libs still go with us on every family vacation.

Uno

My mom packs an Uno card game on every trip. This classic and compact card game is easy to learn, fast to play, and fun for both adults and kids. Pull this out in a hotel room or at a picnic table when everyone needs a break from their electronics.

Updated Road Atlas

I love the map app on my smartphone as much as anyone, but I still pack a Rand McNally Road Atlas on nearly every road trip. It helps us find our way when technology fails, plus it's fun to see what's nearby, get ideas for future trips, and quiz each other on state facts. Yep, we're that geeky.

Kids' Atlas

The National Geographic Kids Ultimate U.S. Road Trip Atlas is a collection of maps, fun facts, games and activities to help keep kids entertained on long travel days. When we flipped through this book, my kids loved identifying all the places that they had visited.

Conclusion

I'm a mom who loves to travel. I've given and received many travel gifts, and have actually used most of the gifts on this list.

If you're looking for an affordable and thoughtful gift for the traveler in your life, I hope you find something they'll enjoy on this list.
