Finding the best gifts for travelers can be tough—that person likely just wants airplane tickets, and those are a liiiiiittle out of most folks’ price range. While we’d love to surprise our friends and family with, say, an all-inclusive trip to Hawaii or a two-week Eurotrip, it’s a pipe dream. The next best thing?
