Top 10 Tech Gifts for Travelers - 2008

If you've ever looked through a SkyMall catalog, you know there are no shortage of gifts for travelers. The biggest challenge is sorting through all the silly items to find things that are truly useful, practical, and fun to get as a gift.

Here are some tips for picking the right gift for the traveller in your life:

  • Buy something geared to how they travel. Do they usually take big, weeks-long treks for vacations by air or do they mostly take short trips by train or car for work?
  • Keep it practical. The last thing a person needs is extraneous weight when travelling. Get them something they'll actually use.
  • Keep their other interests in mind. Get them something related to a hobby or other activity they enjoy to take their mind off the slog of travel.

Still looking for the perfect gift for a traveller. Here are our recommendations:

  1. Kindle: Amazon's Wireless Reading Device
  2. Logitech VX Nano Cordless Laser Mouse for Notebooks
  3. Sony DVP-FX820 8-Inch Portable DVD Player
  4. Canon PowerShot SD770IS 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom
  5. Garmin Quest 115-Megabyte Handheld GPS
  6. Global Atomic Travel Clock
  7. Sony Noise Canceling Earbuds
  8. Streetwise Security Products Super Door Stop
  9. Master Lock TSA Accepted Padlocks with Keys, 4-Pack
  10. Kodak Zi6 HD Pocket Video Camera

If none of those seem right for the traveller you know, there's always the old stand-by: gift cards.
