The Best Travel-Inspired Gifts on Etsy

We’re not exaggerating — you can find anything on Etsy, from personalized jewelry boxes to decades-old antiques. This creative commerce website puts you in direct contact with artisans and craftspeople from across the globe, making it easy to purchase one-of-a-kind, handmade accessories.

If you’re in need of a gift for a friend or a relative who spends most of his or her time on the go, opt for the essentials. Consider gifting a handmade leather passport holder and a matching luggage tag, or a travel journal to help them keep track of their travels. (We assure you, it’s much more satisfying than typing your notes into your cell phone).

We scoured Etsy to find the coolest vintage-inspired world map wall art (to help inspire future vacations) and a customizable Mason jar piggy bang (to help fund that dream trip).

Whether you’re giving a gift or treating yourself, these items from Etsy’s wanderlust department are winners.
