Want to give the travel lover in your life something special for Valentine’s Day? Here’s eight gift ideas aimed at touching their heart if not outright stealing it. Since they’re all priced under $40, they’ll also not shoot the arrow straight through your wallet!
1. Angel Mirror Ornament- $10.00 at Femail Creations
This very inexpensive gift is a thoughtful reminder to the traveler in your life just how much you love them. On the heart the protective angel carries is inscribed: “Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.” You know you’re loved when those who watch you leave want you to return to them safely!
2. Inspiration Key Necklaces – $14.95 at Signals
Any of these are really neat, but the Journey key would unlock my traveler’s heart.
3. “Anti-Road Rage” Keychain – $14.95 at Isabella
Help the loved traveler in your life stay centered and focus and free of hostility as they navigate the roads both on their journey as well as on Life’s highways and byways.
4. Different Roads Plaque – $24.95 at Signals
This is for the animal loving traveler in your life. A beautiful sentiment sure to tug on their heartstrings.
5. Bed & Breakfasts and Country Inns 22nd Edition – $24.95 at Amazon
This is my favorite because not much more speaks to the romantic in a travel lover than B&Bs. This book not only lets you read about a ton of fantastic ones, but you also get a certificate for one free night to any of them listed in the guide. That makes this gift a stellar value in more ways than one!
6. Personalized Longitude and Latitude Doormat – $29.95 at Catalog Favorites
Now they’ll always have coordinates to steer their way back to!
7. Traveler’s Prayer Necklace and Keyring – $34.95 at Signals
There’s a little prayer tucked inside that reads: “May it be Your will, Eternal one, Beloved of our ancestors, to lead us in peace…and to bring us to our destination in life, joy and peace.” I like that.
8. Personalized Hometown Necklace – $36.95 at Signals
For anyone who suffers from wanderlust, it’s always nice to remember where you came from. (Unless of course it makes them want to get away all over again.) Or, if you have a special place that’s near and dear to your heart (mine is Phoenix and Jacksonville), this lets you keep it close when you have to be far.
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, and obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. (Yes, really! As explained here.) That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of mystical, to learn how Courtney channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

Oh, thanks so much for such a nice comment, Brenda! MUCH appreciated. Glad you thought any of them were unique. WOOT!!!! Made my day!
Here’s one for under $15 – Victoria Allman’s new book “SEAsoned: A Chef’s Journey With Her Captain”. My husband gave me my Valentine’s Day gift early this year – I am halfway through and I love it! As a travel fanatic it really speaks to me, the story follows newlyweds who are the crew of a yacht sailing from the Bahamas to Italy, France, Greece and Spain. Now if only I could do the same!
