The latest and greatest Kindle to come out on the market, this e-reader will allow the savvy girl traveller to pack smart and still swot up with her travel guides! The Kindle Paperwhite boasts an amazing screen resolution, a new innovative easy-to-read font, no glare in the sun, a seriously long battery life and it’s super lightweight.
I’ve been experimenting with different camera backpacks over the years. With a waxed canvas materials, plenty of room for my camera gear, laptop and personal items and adjustable/removable interior dividers, there’s some great companies out there for photographers and travellers who want a well-organised carry on or day pack.
I’ve tried out ONA, Gandys and PinqPonq in the past but I’m currently in love and sticking to Peak Design.
Never be out of touch with your girl warrior again. It’s easier than ever to get online around the world with Solis Hotspots and their 24/7 WiFi hotspot.

Javodedge have some super cute travel luggage sets and they’re the perfect way to wave goodbye to your female adventurer by making sure she knows where she lives and actually has a passport in that holder.
The newest and most badass Go Pro camera is here! The GoPro Hero 8 Black has made me one happy adventurer. I can take the most amazing photos and selfies with it, capture the most riveting adventure moments and it’s also an excellent camera for vlogging!
There’s plenty of accessories to add on to it, and the video quality is consistently complimented upon by my viewers.
With a die-hard 22000mAh capacity, you can charge up to 3 devices at once and recharge them again and again and again until you have to boost this beauty up again. The RavPower Battery Pack got me and the whole of my my amazing all-girl team through the Mongol Rally and it’s still fresh as a daisy. Looking for something smaller? RavPower have plenty of charging levels and battery sizes.
The most powerful charger I’ve come across yet!
Luckies Of London has some pretty snazzy travel stationary going on and this Travel Journal is top notch.
Full of tips and advice, scratch maps, planning checklists and lots of space to write her experiences, she will love this sentimental travel gift hands down.
Don’t let her leave the house without travel insurance! Yes, nothing unfortunate may happen but if it does, she’ll be eternally grateful that you went ahead and bought it. I’ve been caught out a couple of times and trust World Nomads Travel Insurance everytime to make sure I’m covered.
Girls need tools too and this Leatherman Wave multi tool is one of the best gifts for world travelers for any adventure they undertake. It has 17 tools including pliers, cutters, knives, scissors, a can opener, a bottle opener (anyone for a bottle of wine?) and screwdrivers.
She’ll be prepared anytime, using it way more than she originally thought she would.
My word, travel is glorious but it sure can be stressful too. Don’t underestimate the power of essential oils for sorting your womanhood out. An essential oils kit has everything to keep an adventurer’s inner goddess in tip top shape.
My Mongol Rally teammate Tabitha got me on to this type of medicine, and I’m eternally grateful for discovering the healing properties of various essential oils. Lavender and Tea Tree are within my favourites, but there’s so much more.
Essential oils are an excellent backpack essential which heal a variety of travelling ailments

If the lady in your life is a hiker, she is going to absolutely love Osprey Backpacks. They create fantastic backpacks especially for women, in all shapes and sizes. If I’m going on a ramble, hike or epic trek, I always take my Osprey Backpack with me.

Every woman I’ve spoken to says she NEEDS one of these. We all need our beauty sleep and long journeys on planes, boats and trains needs some neck pillow love.
There’s plenty of brands out there offering some cushioning.

The biggest investment I have made throughout my travels is learning self defense. Friends and family are naturally concerned about safety whilst travelling. Give yourself peace of mind and empower the women in your life by inviting them to study self defense!
They will learn so many amazing techniques and become naturally more confident and empowered as a result.
Gift her with self defense skills to walk down the street with confidence
If you want a Christmas travel gift that she will use again and again AND save money, then go for a Water To Go water filter bottle. Wherever she is, from mountain rivers to city public bathrooms, she’ll be able to get clean, fresh drinking water every time with this filtered water bottle.
The feeling of being organised is such a freeing and calming one. The Cocoon Grid It Organizer is the answer to your luggage prayers. It can be arranged any way she wishes to fit her personal items. It comes in a variety of sizes and slides perfectly into her luggage. Sorted!
For those ladies out there who like to keep it clean, the Scrubba Wash Bag is one of the practical best travel gifts women want.
It allows you to wash your clothes anywhere, anytime for free. Ideal for when she’s really in the outdoors, this bag is a top notch portable washing machine.
With all these awesome travel gadgets, a girl’s gotta keep charging her gear and this USB Tassel Keychain will help her do just that.
The clever design means an end to messy, tangled cables in her bag or purse.
Do not underestimate the power of this travel gift for her! If she’s a little bit of a shy traveller, taking someone’s photo and physically being able to give them the result will break any ice – and locals will love her forever for it!
Out of all the best travel gifts women need, the Instax Mini 8 Camera is my secret weapon in my backpack and it should be hers too.
I’m usually hiking mountains and rolling in mud on a bike but for those times where I really want some luxury, it’s wonderful to treat myself to a splash of perfume. Michael Kors Wonderlust Perfume is a lovely choice for it’s on-point branding.
On the beach, in the mountains, in the wettest parts of the world (and yes, in your hotel shower), having a JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, which is hard as nails, is a wonderful gift for a female traveller. It’s loud, waterproof and compatible with all devices. Rock on ladies!

If you’re not embarrassed to give it as a gift (and you really shouldn’t be) go ahead and give a girl a mighty eco-friendly, economical way to manage her moon days.
She’ll never have to spend money on those evil sanitary product companies ever again. There are different brands out there but my favourite by far is the Lily Cup which comes in two different shapes and sizes to fit your inner power.
