Beautiful raincoat
Forget those ugly raincoats that look like a plastic bag. Nowadays there are several models of raincoats that are beautiful and stylish. See options:
Extender stick for camera and cell phone
The famous “selfie stick” doesn’t have to be a clumsy object bought from a street vendor – and it can also be more useful than you think for people who travel alone and really like taking photos. Nowadays models support different types of cameras and cell phones. Suggestion:

Cell phone lens set
There are several brands that make cell phone lens kits, with the popular Fisheye, Macro, Wide Angle or even colored lenses. This is a great gift for both those who enjoy photography and those who are addicted to Instagram. Suggestion:
Powerbank/ External battery for cell phone
Those who travel a lot tend to need their cell phones at various times, after all, it’s not fun to run out of battery in the middle of nowhere. Good thing there is an external cell phone battery. If the person receiving the gift is passionate about electronics, they will love you a lot when they receive this gift! Suggestions:

This gift is very nice, but it is also very personal. Because the right backpack depends on each person’s taste and needs. If you already have an idea of what the person is wanting, the better.

Cheap gift tips (up to 100 reais)
suitcase scale
In times when there is a charge for all checked baggage, a suitcase scale is probably the most useful accessory for frequent travelers or those preparing to move abroad. The good thing about this gift is that it is cheap. In a way that pleases the recipient and doesn’t make a dent in your budget.
Waterproof case for cell phones
This gift is great for beach goers and other similar activities. Allows you to take photos without destroying your cell phone. Suggestion:
- Cuter and more usable version for all occasions: Buy here

Necessary
I don’t know a man or woman who doesn’t need a toiletry bag. It’s that useful travel article for anyone. And it’s great to have a beautiful, good quality one that survives intact in your suitcase. More points for toiletry bags that are transparent (avoiding the need for ziploc bags) or that have a hook to hang anywhere. Suggestions:
- Cheap transparent toiletry bag, includes plastic pots up to 100 ml: Buy here
- Printed toiletry bag, with hook and transparent interior: Buy here
bad organizer
A good gift for both those who have difficulty packing their bags and those who are obsessed with tidiness. These bags and cubes allow you to categorize clothes and accessories, separate dirty laundry and also keep everything in place, saving space. Suggestions:
Neck pillow
This is one of the most obvious gifts for travelers, but it is still useful and very welcome. There is a wide variety of models and formats. Suggestions:
Passport Holder / Document Holder
More than having a cute container to store your most precious possession, the passport holder is useful for protecting the document and also serving as a place to store all the flight receipts and papers that every traveler needs to keep. Suggestions:
Notebooks and notebooks
As a journalist and blogger, this is one of the gifts I receive most for my birthday, Christmas and events I attend for work. But I’m not complaining. A good pad or notebook is very useful. My suggestion, to be original, is that you look for a store that makes special versions of blocks. Suggestion on where to buy:
- Tilibra travel notebook: Buy here
- Travel diary with leather cover: Buy here
- Moleskini Travel Diary (more expensive than average, but a special brand): Buy here
Special gift tips
Good headphones
Good headphones are not necessarily branded or that expensive (several on the list below cost less than 300 reais), but they are those that don’t bother your ears, don’t break easily, transmit sound well and, preferably, cancel noise in return. If it’s wireless, even better. Suggestions:
- JBL Wireless Bluetooth Headphones: Buy here
- Earbud style headphones: Buy here
- Foldable Noise Canceling Headphones: Buy Here
- Sony headphones, wireless, with noise cancellation and integrated Alexa: Buy here
Kindle
For those who like to travel and read, the Kindle is a very useful gift tip. The device allows you to store hundreds of books, avoiding the weight of carrying them. Even though I still love paper books, using a Kindle is a one-way street if you travel a lot. Suggestions:
- Simple Kindle with Light: Buy here

Mala
Just like a backpack, a suitcase is a very personal gift that depends on the person’s tastes and needs. In my opinion, if you want to have a better chance of getting it right, a P bag, which serves as on-board luggage, is more versatile. Suggestions:

- American Tourister suitcase made of non-rigid material: Buy here
