I would need such a luggage scale because I always get stressed if I fit into the luggage weight limit. Photographic equipment is also a great gift but expensive. I'm always happy when I get books and travel guides as gifts.

That's a great list. I want Santa to pick each of them and gift them to me. The scratch-off map is in my mind since long, it would be a great Christmas gift for travelers. Also the hard shell suitcase, anti-theft backpack, the camera, and the list goes on. You have carefully listed the very important things we can gift a traveler on Christmas. I have to start thinking now like real soon so I can plan it well before it's already Christmas - only a month to go!

Packing cubes are a must for every traveler! If anyone knows a traveler who doesn't have them they would make the perfect gift. That or a plane ticket of course ?
