Updated: Feb 16, 2022

Don't like to read? No worries, I got you:


Choosing Christmas gifts can be tricky. This post is going to help you find Christmas gifts. This post is also a shout-out to small businesses.

Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with any of these businesses.

The product's prices are going to be under 20 Canadian Dollars or 10 Pounds. The business is local and located in Canada or the United Kingdom. These are the companies I have seen doing really great.



1. Cord Organizers

When you are a traveller, you need to carry cords to charge your phone, iPad, laptop, etc. I always end up having 3000 different types of cords. So, these small cord organizers are really helpful to organize all your cords. It keeps the cords compact. That's why they will not twist up. It's nice when you don't have to untangle every single cord.

In Canada, I found a really good shop. It's called "Little Kitten." They make these cute and pretty cord organizers. This shop also has decent reviews. The chords start from $5.

If you are from the UK, there's a company called "AZO Handmade." They make really beautiful ones, and these are personalized. These cords start from £7. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/793557385



2. Hidden Pocket Scrunchie

This one is for females. The second gift idea from my list is the hidden pocket scrunchie. These are awesome. I heard about it one year back. They are great for keeping small things in them. If you don't want to keep all your money in the purse, you can put some spare cash in it. In case you lose your purse, it can be really helpful. We don't know what will happen, so it's better to be prepared. I love them, and I have two of them. You can put it in your hair. I don't put it in my hair. I put it on my wrist.

I found a shop named Magpie Marble, which is in Canada. The designs are pretty. You can find one for you. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/902304413/

In the UK, there's a nice company called "Poor Pink UK." They are a bigger small company. But they do have a lot of different designs, and the designs are really pretty. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/PinkPawUK



3. Luggage Tag

The next on my list is the luggage tag. They are essential because most people carry the same kind of backpacks. A little luggage tag can help you identify yours. I have a cute one. My friend gifted me this one before I left for Central America. I always make sure it's in my bag when I leave. I don't know from where she bought it. I found some cool ones on Etsy.

In Canada, there's a company named "Eclectic Closet." They have a great range of luggage tags. Although they are not personalized, they are pretty. If you want personalized luggage tags, just type them in Etsy, you will find them. The price of the luggage tag on Eclectic Closet is very specific, $5.09. Yes! It's weird pricing. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/theeclecticcloset

In the UK, there is a shop named "DreamsbyMadee." Their luggage tags are seven pounds each. Their designs are more with images. There's one that says "start your adventure," which is so cute. These can be great gifts for your travel buddies. https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/DreamsbyMadee



4. Bamboo Utensils

The number four on my list is bamboo utensils. While I was travelling around, it's so useful to have. It's good to have if you camp a lot. This is also great when you're staying in hostels, and you're not sure whether they have utensils or not. When you're camping, or you're even going to a country you're not sure about if they will give you plastic forks and knives, this will be helpful. If you eat street food all the time, you can carry it around all the time.

So, in Canada, I found a company called "ZeroWasteMVMT." They've got some really good reviews on their store. So, if you're unsure whether you want to buy it from them or not, go and look at their reviews. https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/861190127/

In the UK, there's a company called "NewLivingHome." Their set is £6 and definitely worth the money https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/678126912/



5. Passport Holder

Last but least is passport holder. This a standard gift for a traveller. I have one. This one says all the places you'll go from Dr Zeus's book. There are a few companies that make these. You can also find personalized ones.

The one I liked the most is from Canada. There's a company called "Coudsdonc." They have some really great passport holders. Their price is around $17. https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/Coudsdonc

The UK is called "Ninja Gifting." They have some fun and really nice ones. They're nine pounds. https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/655598326



A quick shout out: If you guys are looking for travel gift cards, you can check my friend Becca's store (https://www.etsy.com/shop/BexCreate). You will find amazing illustration works, and she does a lot of wildlife stuff. Check her store on Etsy. She makes the most awesome Christmas cards. I buy gift cards from her every year. But unfortunately, I could not buy it last year because I was not in the UK. She mainly supplies in the UK.


These gifts are a great friend for travellers because they are super helpful. Let me know what you guys think of this list.
