If you’ve got someone who’s travel-obsessed on your gift-giving list this year, you might be wondering what you should get them considering we’re in the middle of a pandemic and they can’t really travel. You can still fuel their wanderlust and transport them to happier times. People that love to travel look for the finer things in life. They love sharing the things that make their lives easier.
We’ve curated the ultimate travel gift guide for females that’ll help you pick just the right gift for her. You’ll find gifts to fuel her wanderlust, no matter what your budget is.
Chances are, if you’re looking at our travel gift guide for females, the lady in your life will appreciate an experiential gift, too. One of my fave ways to find things to do is through TripAdvisor. You can read reviews and even book excursions directly on the site. Visit TripAdvisor today.
Travel & Lifestyle Gift Guide for Females:
Camera Bag
CAMERA SATCHEL + PURSE
If the lady in your life has a DSLR or mirrorless camera, this camera bag satchel is essential. It’s equal parts stylish and function: when not used as a camera bag, it’s a beautiful purse. As a camera bag, you can store essentials like the camera, battery packs, and lenses. It features a 1-cm thick padded bottom, walls, and dividers to keep equipment safe.
Scratch Off Map
ENNO VATTI SCRATCH OFF WORLD MAP
One of my most favorite gifts I’ve ever received is a scratch off map so I can visually track which countries I’ve been to.
Because I want to visit every country in the world, I love having a visual to keep track of where I’ve been, and where I still need to go.
This also comes in a beautiful, gift-ready and eco-friendly recycled cardboard box, so you don’t have to worry about wrapping!
Viking Waffles
Eat Like a Viking
When I was in Norway a couple of years ago, I got to eat some really delicious waffles. I’ve craved them ever since.
Then, a couple of weeks ago, I was scrolling through TikTok at 3am and I came across the TikTok of Viking Waffles‘ CEO. I completely fell down a rabbit hole watching her vids, and before I know it I place a $181 order. The waffles are amazing, as is the Viking Butter and Smør Syrup— and her merch is super cute.
Travel Necklace
ROSE VILA COMPASS NECKLACE
Let this beautiful compass necklace be a gentle reminder to embrace every adventure. This necklace comes in gold tone, silver tone, and rose gold tone. With its minimalistic style, it’ll go with every outfit—whether fancy or dressed-down.
GoPro
GOPRO HERO 7 BLACK EDITION BUNDLE
The GoPro Hero 7 Black Edition allows you to shoot in portrait mode, plus film Ultra HD 4k videos at up to 60fps without the need for a gimbal stabilizer. You can also shoot super slow-motion videos. This is the action camera of action cameras.
entomophagy
CRICKET POWDER
Ever thought about eating crickets? No? Well, you should. Not only is it good for the planet (we love sustainability at Idyllic Pursuit!), but it also has 2x the protein of beef. Gym-n-Eat Crickets is an Iowa-based farm that sells roasted, whole seasoned crickets, cricket powder, and bars.
Simply substitute a 3/4-1/4 ratio of regular flour to cricket powder in any baking recipe. My NANBF certified husband swears by it!
OVERNIGHT
WEEKENDER BAG
The Weekender Bag is perfect for long weekends—just enough space for your essentials, but small enough to fit in an overhead compartment once she can travel again. It’s also very stylish with its removable and adjustable leather shoulder strap. It can be worn cross-body, carried as a satchel, or slid over handles on a suitcase.
VIDEO CONVERSION
VIDBOX VIDEO CONVERSION SUITE
Have boxes of videotapes sitting in your basement full of priceless memories? I did, too. Over time, these deteriorate.
With VIDBOX, you can convert these to digital video formats. Whether these are VHS tapes, camcorder, MiniDV, or 8mm tape, you can use VIDBOX to preserve your priceless memories.
Cream Whipper
WHIP-IT! CREAM WHIPPER
More and more people are spending time in the kitchen, particularly as restaurants close. That’s doesn’t mean you can’t create something amazing.
The whip-it! brand cream whipper uses N2O chargers to whip liquid into mousse, just like they do at five star restaurants. Your cream whipper comes with a carrying bag, a recipe book, chargers, and your whipper. The first thing I made with mine is the lobster bisque sea foam in their recipe book. Delicioso!
Olive Oil
LACONIKO
If she’s a foodie, she will appreciate Laconiko Olive Oil more than you know. I have both the Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the Black Truffle Olive Oil, and both taste amazing. The EVOO is smooth, rich, and buttery, and comes from a private estate.
These go great with any dish—for burgers, pasta, steak, chicken, fries, veggies, and popcorn.You can even try it in dips
WEDGES
CAMBIAMI CHAMPAGNE WEDGE SET
She can wear Cambiami wedges to complement anything from jeans to a breezy maxi dress. It’s really the only sandal she’ll need because the straps are interchangeable.
The Champagne Wedge Set comes with a pair of soft genuine nappa leather wedges, a pair of champagne leather laser cut straps, a pair of rose gold crystal snaps, a pair of champagne leather snake straps, and a dustbag to keep the straps organized.
Cooking Class
CUILINE VIRTUAL COOKING CLASS
Sure, meal delivery boxes are all the rage right now. But, those typically just have written instructions for you to follow.
With Cuiline’s virtual cooking classes, they ship you your box and then you take a live cooking class via Zoom. There are so many different options to choose from—I’m signed up for the Tastes of Tuscany cooking class where we’ll make Tuscan Panzanella, Tiramisu, and Handmade Pici Pasta with Ragú Toscano.
Reusable Water Bottle
BOUGIE BOTTLE
Bougie Bottles are the perfect travel accessory because they’re durable, and beautiful. These are the best double-walled vacuum insulated stainless steel sports water bottles out there. Convenient in shape and size (25 oz, cup holder friendly), no-spill, no need to unscrew the cap every time, and keeps drinks cold or hot for hours on end. Each bottle comes with an ice stick tray.
COFFEE
CIEL'S KENYA AA MERU GICHUGENE
Just when the pandemic started to hit the rest of the world, I was on a plane to Kenya to document a scientific expedition for several weeks.
They say that going to the African continent changes you, and Kenya is no different. Each morning I look forward to transporting myself back with Ciel Coffee‘s Kenya AA Meru Gichugene, which comes from a boutique coffee mill in the Nyambene Hills. It has flavor notes of red fruit, nutmeg, and darjeeling tea. When you purchase this coffee, you’re helping provide fair prices to these Kenyan farmers.
HEALING MINERALS
OHM, ONLY HEALING MINERALS
Miss the hot springs? Me, too. Now, you can bring healing minerals home with Ohm, Only Healing Minerals. They make bath and diffuser minerals that produce the same health effects of the most famous, healing hot spring. This allows one to absorb crucial minerals topically. Not only is this a wellness boost – but this is a great de-stressor as well.
Given the current circumstances I think we could all enjoy a little more wellness and relaxation. The best part is that this can be done in one’s home – via baths or diffusers.
TRUFFLES
SUGAR PLUM WINE-SHAPED BOTTLE BOX
This is the perfect gift for the chocoholic and wine enthusiast! This decadent assortment features a 12-piece assortment of Sugar Plum’s incredible handcrafted chocolate truffles all beautifully laid out in a wine bottle-shaped box she will love!
Live Plants
LIVELY ROOT PLANT DELIVERY
Since the pandemic hit, I’ve craved a much deeper connection to the Earth. I created a bit of a sanctuary in my home using plants. You don’t have to get one from your big box store, either.
You can find just about any plant online at Lively Root and have it shipped right to your recipient’s door. I got this beautiful Robusta Superba Snake Plant most recently to add to my collection. It comes in a pretty pot to match any home decor. There are lots of pet-friendly and easy care options, too.
TruffleS
TRUFFLE SHUFFLE
Not that I need any convincing, but if these the Truffle Shuffle products are good enough for Oprah, they’re good enough for me.
I have both the Balinese Truffle Salt and the Brown Butter Truffle Honey. You can use both on either sweet or savory dishes because truffles are so versatile.
Beer Bundles
TAVOUR
One of my fave things to do when I travel is to try local beverages, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic.
With Tavour’s free app, you can unlock access to purchase a new holiday bundle eat week. Ship to you or to your lady friend, all without leaving your house.
SUPPLEMENTS

ART
ARM OF CASSO PRINTS & CANVASES
Have you ever gone to an art gallery and had the work move you to tears? This is what happened when I viewed the online gallery from Arm of Casso, a Philadelphia-based artist.
He creates intricate, abstract and colorful pieces with mixed medium methods including acrylic paint, and sharpie and pen work.
It’s been a long time since I’ve seen work that captures the raw emotion and passion of an entire movement. I have the Black Lives Matter print on the bottom left in my teenager’s bedroom as she’s a great artist with a strong activist mind like myself. I’d love to get one for every room in our house!
Organic Maple Syrup
BUSHWICK KITCHEN MAPLE SYRUP TRIO
Bushwick Kitchen has a trio of maple syrup that is to-die-for. My husband loves the spicy maple and coffee maple, while I’m obsessed with the gingerbread maple.
She can use it drizzled over baked fruit, in iced coffee, or in her favorite cocktail in place of sugar.
lighted mirrors

Headzone GO Lighted Makeup Mirrors feature a full LED panel, 22 settings for brightness and light color, aluminum lid with soft touch chassis, is rechargeable and comes in 3 beautiful colors. I have the rose gold one, and often use it to help me see my way to the bathroom at night, too.
KETO SNACKS
SHREWD FOOD PROTEIN DIPPERS, PROTEIN COOKIES, AND PROTEIN PUFFS
Shrewd Food is a keto-friendly snack company selling goodies packed with protein.
She’ll love their Protein Puffs, Protein Dippers, and Protein Croutons. My fave flavor is definitely the Brick Oven Pizza Protein Puffs, but they’re all good. When on the keto diet, I crave crunchy things, and this absolutely fits the bill.
WORLD MAP POSTERS
GEOJANGO WORLD MAP POSTERS
GeoJango World Map Posters can be personalized with a custom title or quote and they feature a wealth of educational information. Aside from the geography, it also includes UNESCO World Heritage Sites, famous landmarks, historic voyages that shaped history, ancient trading routes, sea floor terrain, and much more.
We have ours on the wall above our couch in the living room. If she’s a traveler at all, or even a historian—she’ll fall in love with these maps like my family has.

CLOSETMAID PULL-OUT TRASH BIN
With so many people at home, they’re spending a lot more time organizing and simplifying their lives.
