The best gift ideas for travel and yoga lovers:
#1 Mindful travel journal
Journaling has many benefits for your body, mind, and soul. It reduces stress and anxiety and boosts mindfulness and creativity.
It’s also a great way to register the best memories, feelings, and lessons from your travels.
With this in mind, I’ve created the Wander Journal, a mindful travel journal designed to help you make the most of your trips.
It has everything you want in a travel journal and so much more, from packing and itinerary checklists to meditation exercises to help you be in the moment and enjoy your travels even more.
It’s also a gorgeous and useful present for travel lovers.
#2 Travel yoga mat
Every traveling yogi needs a travel yoga mat.
This one from Plyopic is foldable, easy to pack, and ultralight, making it perfect for travel and yoga on the go. It also doubles as a yoga towel, meaning one less item in your suitcase or backpack.
With sweat-grip technology, durable and eco-friendly, it’s the perfect gift for the environmentally conscious traveler. You can choose from four different colors, my favorite being the Beach Face, but there’s also the Nebula, the Neometric, and the Persia.
Check out my favorite travel yoga mats and non-toxic yoga mats for more ideas.
#3 Yoga tote bag or backpack
Nothing says yogi traveler like a yoga-inspired bag or backpack.
I absolutely love this yoga tote bag and this super versatile, practical, and cute yoga backpack.
Can I please have both? Please!
#4 Reusable water bottle
A reusable water bottle is a must-have for the sustainable traveler and one of the best gifts for travel lovers.
I swear by my Chilly’s bottle and can’t travel without it. I have the pastel green one but they come in more than 30 beautiful colors and patterns.
Most importantly, they help you protect the environment by reducing your plastic consumption during your travels or at home (did you know one million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute?!), while at the same time making you look very cool and stylish.
What else can you wish for?
#5 Versatile clothing
When it comes to clothing, comfort and versatility are the most important things for yogis who travel. But that doesn’t mean we don’t care about looking our best. We do!
We want to feel pretty and comfortable during our morning yoga class, on the beach, or for dinner and a night out, without having to pack a million items.
That’s to say elegant and multipurpose clothing is always a great gift for travel and yoga lovers.
Here are some of my favorite travel gift ideas for her:
This Yibok kimono cardigan is perfect to throw over your yoga outfit for an effortlessly elegant look.
I also absolutely love this flower harem jumpsuit and these boho harem pants, both from Buddha Pants and perfect to transition from day to night.
For a more budget option, these Dibaolong harem joggers are so elegant and beautiful.
Another of my favorite brands is Spiritual Gangster. I especially love their hoodies and sweatshirts like this one and this one, which are perfect to keep you warm and comfy after yoga or a day on the beach.
#6 Eye Pillow
For meditation, savasana, yoganidra, or bedtime, this lavender eye pillow helps relieve stress, puffy eyes, or tension headaches and promotes relaxation and sleep.
Combining flax seeds and lavender, it can be used both hot or cold for resting or cooling relief.
And they’re so small (and cute) you’ll want to take them with you everywhere!
#7 Meditation incense sticks
Burn one of these sustainable Palo Santo incense sticks in your hotel room or Airbnb and you have the perfect atmosphere for yoga, meditation, or relaxation.
This natural wood incense was used for centuries by the Incas and native people of the Andes for medicinal purposes.
Their purifying and cleansing properties make them the perfect travel companion, and a lovely, affordable gift idea for yogis.
#8 Crystal collection
Give the gift of happiness, strength, love, or serenity with this premium chakra crystal collection.
Each crystal box has 7 chakras tumble stones, a chakra pendulum crystal, a clear crystal point, an amethyst cluster, and one raw rose quartz, plus a poster guide and an E-book.
Every set is curated to promote a positive mind, a strong spirit, unconditional love, harmony, and clarity, among many other benefits.
If you’re looking for the best gifts for yoga lovers, you can’t go wrong with this one!
#9 Japamala
I love japamalas and have one made of rudraksha beads and another one of sandalwood.
But I certainly wouldn’t mind having one more for Christmas. Just sayin’…
This gorgeous japamala from Bivei can be used as a necklace or a bracelet, as well as for meditation.
Made of natural lava rock stone beads, it’s also perfect for absorbing and diffusing essential oils.
This is easily one of the most beautiful presents for yoga lovers on this list, and I want it so badly!
#10 Yoga and travel jewelry
Speaking of beautiful and unique travel gifts, this travel-inspired necklace is absolutely stunning and the perfect choice for that special person on your list.
I’m also in love with this bracelet from Ms. Clover with one of my favorite mantras: let that shit go.
For him, this mandala leather bracelet from Skyrim is as cool as it gets. Or this beautiful MAOFAED travel keychain with a meaningful message.
#11 Coloring book
Who said coloring is only for kids?
The Mindfulness Coloring Book: Anti-Stress Art Therapy for Busy People was specially created for adults and it’s already a bestseller.
Turns out coloring flowers, butterflies, waves or birds can be an excellent mindfulness exercise, inducing relaxation, peace, and calm.
What’s more, this pocket-sized book can fit anywhere, making it perfect to help you de-stress on the go.
#12 Travel-size toiletries and bag
Ok, this might not be the most original gift idea on this list, but it’s still a useful one. Besides, who doesn’t love mini toiletries and beauty products? I sure do, and they make great Christmas gifts for her!
My favorites these days are The Ritual of Ayurveda from Rituals. Besides nurturing your skin and hair, Rituals products turn your bath into a spa experience anywhere you are. And don’t even get me started on Rituals’ shower foam, which will change your life, I promise you!
And while we’re at it, these beautiful toiletry bags are also a beautiful and useful gift for the traveler in your life (or for yourself… wink wink).
#13 Travel and self-discovery books
Books are always a good idea for a present.
Some of my favorite travel books are Wild by Cheryl Strayed, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, and The Beach by Alex Garland.
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse and The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho are two other great books about the inner journey to spiritual awakening.
Check out my list of 10 books about travel and self-discovery for more ideas.
#14 Online yoga classes
Online classes are a great way to keep up with your yoga practice while you’re on the road and a great gift for the yogi who travels.
Yoga International offers the best selection of online yoga classes for all levels and styles. You can stream or download hundreds of classes and courses, and practice with world-renowned yoga teachers anywhere you are.
They also give you the chance to try it for free for 14 days, after which their monthly membership costs only $14.99 – that’s less than most 1-hour classes in a studio for unlimited access to all their classes and member-only courses.
Besides its monthly subscription, Yoga International has Ayurveda, personal transformation courses, yoga therapy, and conferences on-demand, all of which make also great presents.
#15 Yoga experiences and retreats
Online yoga classes are very convenient, but sometimes nothing beats that sense of community you only get on a face-to-face yoga class, workshop or retreat.
From a 1-hour Central Park sunrise yoga walk to surfing and yoga in Lisbon or a Bali Eat, Pray, Love tour, yoga experiences around the world are the best gift you can give to the yogi wanderer in your life.
Or, why not take your BFF or soul-mate on a yoga retreat near home or in an exotic destination?
