10 best lifetime Paris travel gifts ideas
In this blog post as mention in the onset, I will give you my list of the 10 best lifetime Paris travel gifts ideas. As more and more people are choosing to travel even during this pandemic, it is important that we do so in the right condition especially when doing it with small children. With that said, let’s jump right into this list.
Comfortable clothes
Gift yourself or a frquent traveler friend the right travel clothing based on the destination they are going. Choose clothing that can protect you from natural element and that are comfortable. In addition, make sure that they are made of fabric that does not easily tear or worn out after a few wear.
Planner
10 Best Lifetime Paris Travel Gifts Ideas. As someone who loves to travel. I rarely plan a last minute trip. Planning ahead of time is important to me. I really enjoy taking the time that I need to map out anything that I might need before and during my stay.
One of the things that I use to help me plan my day and daily activity is a planner or a to-do list. There is one that I use from Elin Snow shop on Amazon. It is a great gift for someone that is currently learning French, dreams to visit Paris and so forth… Her planners, journals and to-do-list are written in French and will come in handy if you are trying to improve your French vocabulary and grammar. Feel free to grab one for yourself or for a friend at Elin Snow.
Gift an affordable hotel room
Lodging can take a big chunk of someone’s budget while traveling. If you can help a friend or a relative save money on their next trip, why not surprised them with a free night or two at an hotel or a hostel in Paris? Trust me, they would gladly appreciate the gesture and the memory of this precious gift will last a lifetime. When it comes to hotels, there are so many to choose from in Paris.
If you are looking for an affordable gift for a friend who loves Paris, The Libertel hotels group in Paris has a few locations throughout the city that you can book.
Their rooms are spacious, clean and their hotels are located close to many top Paris attractions. I highly recommend the one near Montmarte and the Canal Saint Martin area. Book a room at Hotels Libertel Paris. Watch this video that I recently took during a visit at Hotel Libertel Montmartre.
Gift a water bottle
This might surprise you but gifting a friend a water bottle not only is good for the environment but it is also a great way to carry clean water at all times with you and save money. Around Paris you can find water fountains to refill your water bottle so make good use of it. When it comes to what I am using, I adopted the Quechua brand. I like how sturdy and light my water bottle is. It can easily fit into my luggage or a backpack. I have been using it for about 2 years now and I have no issues with it.
A fanny pack
Having a fanny pack is a smart way to to travel. It is not only ideal to fit your essential items such as your money, hotel keycard, ID a and so forth but also to prevent you from becoming a victim of pickpoketters. It sadens me toay that there are lots of pickpoketers rooming the streets, the metro and the train stations around the city. Be careful. The Fanny pack is also great for those who are dealing with back,neck, arms and shoulders issues and that want to go out and about without having to carry heavy things. Get yours here.
Power Bank
This piece of technology will come in handy for any travelers to charge their phone especially when traveling to areas where it will be difficult to find a place to charge a phone.
A translating App
Parlez-vous français? Nope. If you plan on visiting Paris, invest in a translating app. There are plenty on the market that you can use. Just do a quick Google search to find the right one for you.
A digital camera
If you want to make a friend happy or treat yourself to a nice gift, a camera is also a great idea. There are several brands on the market such as Canon, Nikon and Sony to name a few. Canon has long been a favorite among professional photographers. Their cameras typically feature accessible controls and intuitive menu systems, with a wide range of models to suit photographers. Regardless of your experience investing in a good camera to stand the test of time is necessary. I invested in a Canon camera years ago. I did not have any experience but that did not stop me. That camera is still doing the job years later.
Travel essential beauty set
A travel essential beauty set is a great gift for a friend that loves to wear make up. It is also very practical to keep everything nealty orgarnized in one bag.
A scarf
A light weight scarf comes in handy on a chilly night and at the same time can dress up or down a outfit. It can aslo be use as a head scarf if you want to wrap your head fashionably.
I you plan to travel and want to gift yourself or a friend something practical, here’s a recap of the gifts that I mentionned above:
- Comfortable clothes
