Travelers are tough to shop for. If they pack their bags and hit the road to parts unknown a lot, chances are their suitcases are consistently full of neat, unique travel gadgets and gizmos. But even the most seasoned traveler is missing something, or might just have an appreciation for a gift that’s a bit left of center. This holiday season, we rounded up a few our favorite items that even the most dedicated and well-stocked traveler should enjoy.
Bar10der — For most travelers, there comes a time, at the end of a long day, when all you want is a cocktail. And depending on where you are and what your schedule consists of, that moment might not occur in close proximity to a good bar. Enter the Bar10der, which literally packs everything except the alcohol that you could possibly need to be an expert mixologist into a swiss army knife type shape. Now how’s that for a twist on the standard gift? 
Bottle of Absolut Warhol Limited Edition — And when it's time for a little vodka, it's important to find a brand with perfect taste. Thanks to the Absolut Warhol Limited Edition bottle, available just in time for the holidays, you can enjoy a mixed drink and be an art connoisseur at the same time. Why not give the gift of liquor, and a little bit of art history, at the same time?
Swimmer by Boom Movement — The ability to enjoy music on the go is a luxury most travelers look forward to. The beauty of the Swimmer is you can literally take it everywhere. Poolside, the bathroom, the shower. And even if water isn’t involved, the flexible tail design means you can mount the portable Bluetooth speaker to just about anything. This is the perfect gift for anyone who spends a fair amount of time in hotels and needs something compact and durable.
Printstagram — With Instagram reinventing the way we take pictures, often, memories are relegated to an app you can only look at on your phone. No more — thanks to Printstagram, you can lift pics from your Instagram and make framed prints, magnets, posters, even a photo album. What better way to remember your friends and your travels than this.
IOU Madras Scarf — A scarf is a handy thing to have on hand when you travel, and when you buy a Madras scarf from IOU (or any product from the company, really), you’re also buying a story. Every article of clothing IOU sells comes with a barcode. Enter that info on IOU’s website and you’ll learn all about the person or people who made what you’re wearing. Just a fun little way to remind us that as humans, we’re all connected — and isn’t that kind of what travel is all about?
