The Leaves have fallen of the Trees. We have had our first Frosty Nights.
My Partner and I will be buying our Christmas Tree this weekend. Christmas is clearly right around the corner. If you’re anything like me you are probably saving up your money and would rather spend the money on your next Holiday. However, who does not enjoy finding a lovely Gift under the Chrismas Tree?
If you are looking for some Gifting Inspiration for a fellow Travel Addict, this Ultimate Traveler Christmas Gift Guide is perfect for you. This List has Gift Ideas for everyone, from the Wannabe Traveller to the Luxury Traveler – who has it all.
I have organised the Gift Guide for different Travel Characters and each Category contains a Stocking Filler, a Gift that will clearly show your Love and a Big Spender.

Splash Out: A Trip to the Maldives
Surely a Trip to the Maldives is one of the most Luxurious Christmas Gifts available to mankind. It certainly is on my Travel Bucketlist. The Maldives are the perfect location for a honeymoon or a romantic trip for two.

Show Them your Love: Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones
There is no better way to ensure a sound flight than to get the one and only, the most popular, noise canceling headset. Most Travelers swear by Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones.

Your Loved One will finally enjoy a good night’s sleep on their next plane journey.

Tokyo is a Hightech City. Not only does it feature the World’s most sophisticated Railway, the Electronic Stores in this city are like Theme Parks.

It has a compact, lightweight design so it won’t take up any precious space.
