11 Wellness Gifts: Ideas for Travel Lovers

Mandalas Adult Coloring Book

The rise of adult coloring books has already proved that coloring’s not just for the kids. There’s something super satisfying about spreading vibrant hues across a previously black and white image, bringing it to life with each swipe. Pair that activity with mandalas and you’ve got a winning path to relaxation. Mandalas are geometric figures that represent the universe in Hinduism and Buddhism.

Let your favorite traveler sink into brightening the universe and putting that pesky tray table to good use with this travel-sized, mandalas coloring book. Don’t forget the portable colored pencils!

Essential Oils Diffuser Bracelet

Know someone who turns to essential oils for ease? There’s no reason for your globetrotter to feel tied to an electronic diffuser in the confines of four walls. This diffuser bracelet will allow them to carry comfort along wherever they may roam. Simply pour a few drops of oil onto one of the absorbent cotton pads (which come in a variety of colors for expert outfit-matching) and insert into the bracelet for a pretty look and scent.

Hydrating Overnight Mask

Flying pulls the moisture right out of your skin (it’s so important to hydrate well!). Help your favorite traveler keep their skin supple and glowing by gifting a hydrating overnight mask. This cleansing balm by Beautycounter does triple duty (which means less to pack!) as a makeup remover, moisturizer and overnight mask. Simply massage an almond-sized amount into face at least 30 minutes before flying (to let it sink in and set) and remove after the flight.

Beautycounter also uses natural ingredients, so this is a great one for the clean beauty enthusiast.

Hydrating Facial Spray

Another natural option for hydrating skin is the travel-sized evian Natural Mineral Water Facial Spray. Great for an instant boost of hydration, either in transit or while on the ground exploring a new city. For a cooling effect, refrigerate!

 

 

Silk Eye Mask

Travel can be exhausting. Help your jetsetter sleep better with this light-blocking sleep mask made of breathable, cooling silk. They’ll thank you for helping them avoid what can’t be unseen.

Compression Socks

Flying thousands of feet above the ground can mess with your circulation, and even cause blood clots. Especially for those taking longer flights, compression socks are a big help. Not only will they help prevent clotting, they’ll actually encourage regular circulation. This provides added comfort and prevents swelling. These compression socks have 4-way stretch, making them easier to pull on and ensuring you won’t accidentally kick someone as you struggle to shimmy your feet in.

Positivi-tee

See what I did there? Spread those good vibes, far and wide with a tee that serves as an expression of humanity and tolerance. No matter where your wanderlust takes you, promote peace and remind the world that we’re all in this together with this Humankind, Be Both T-Shirt.

Infuser Water Bottle

Take water to the next level with an infuser water bottle. Pre-fill with your favorite, energizing fruits and add the water after you’ve gone through security. This is an easy way to help your traveler elevate zen and luxury in transit. Can’t afford to gift a first class ticket? Pair this infuser bottle with the eye mask above and a healthy dose of imagination.

Sweeten the deal by throwing in an infused water recipe book. Because anyone can “cook” water…

 

Foldable Yoga Mat

Empower your traveling yogi to continue their practice all over the world with this highly convenient, foldable yoga mat. It’s soft and easy to fit into a suitcase. Great for yoga, pilates or as a comfy seat for morning croissant-eating.

Kindle

Set the travelers in your life up with their very own, glare-free e-reader. Apart from keeping them from the strain of lugging physical books around, you can load up their Kindle with inspiring reads to keep their spirits up. Here is a free list of some of my favorite e-books to get you started

Travel Journal

One way to travel more meaningfully is by taking the time to actively reflect on new experiences. Gift this travel journal and encourage the wanderer in your life to slow down and record the highlights.
