Picking an appropriate holiday gift that someone will both like and use is a complicated task. Of course, I tend to be more concerned with things that I enjoy as opposed to taking note of the preferences of those around me 
However, if you have a greater attention span than myself and are searching for the perfect gift for the travel junkie in your life, I believe I can be of service. Of course, TravelProducts own Gifts for Travelers section has lots of great gift ideas for the avid adventurer, but should you need more, here are 5 other ideas to get you started.
NOOKcolor
Looking for the perfect gift for someone who is constantly toting heaps of books with them wherever they go? The NOOKcolor by Barnes and Noble is a digital library scaled down into 7 inches of full color touchscreen. For $249, the bibliophile in your life will be able to store up to 6,000 books on the 8GB of built-in memory and the Wi-Fi connection will also give them ample opportunity to download, check email, and update their social network at the drop of a hat.
iMainGo X
This nifty little invention is an external speaker system that’s made to custom fit any iPod, cell phone, laptop, electric guitar, or video game system. (If the person in question does not yet have an iPod, please do them a favor and welcome them into this century.) For $69.95, this system’s extra large device compartment will keep your electronics safely tucked away while simultaneously providing awesome sound quality.
Priority Pass Membership
Know someone who spends more time in an airport than they do at a desk? The Priority Pass Membership is a program that offers access to over 600 VIP lounges in more than 300 cities worldwide, no matter what class the member is flying. Layovers will be much more pleasant when they can be enjoyed with a cold drink in a plush armchair, as opposed to those awful plastic seats inside the terminal. Packages start at $99.
Starbucks VIA Ready Brew
If you have someone on your list that travels internationally or is particularly fond of camping, consider buying them a package of Starbuck’s new line of instant coffees. The single serving packages are made with ethically sourced 100% Arabica beans and, when combined with water, yield a result that is far superior to the instant coffees that have come before it. It’s a bargain with packages starting at $4.95 and comes in yummy flavors like Vanilla, Cinnamon Spice, Caramel, and Mocha.
Journal
A journal is a great item for any traveler to have on hand and offers them the ability to write down those memories that are too good to forget. Moleskine makes a great (and durable!) line that’s been used by artists and writers such as the likes of Henri Matisse and Ernest Hemingway. Plus, it’s the brand Indiana Jones used in The Last Crusade and, quite frankly, that’s reason enough for me.
