T'is the season for Christmas shopping and if you're struggling to find the perfect gift for the traveller on your list, I've got you covered.

From cozy blankets to portable tripods, these are items I actually want to find under the tree this Christmas. Plus, they each cost below $40, so you don't have to blow your shopping budget.

Bluetooth adapter

YMOO Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver.

YMOO Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver.

Amazon

Price: $29.99

Details: There's nothing worse than sitting down for a long flight and realizing that your wireless earbuds aren't compatible with the entertainment system.

The headphones for sale on airplanes are always so expensive and I usually end up losing them.

The YMOO Bluetooth 5.3 Transmitter Receiver is a neat little device that pairs Bluetooth headphones or earbuds with the airplane entertainment system so you don't have to worry about packing or buying a whole other set of headphones.

Plus, it's not just handy for flights – you can use it with TVs and PCs too.

Perfume travel bottle

Perfume Travel Spray Bottle Atomizer.

Perfume Travel Spray Bottle Atomizer.

Amazon

Price: $11.99 +

Details: No one wants to bring an entire bottle of fragrance along in their suitcase. It's heavy, bulky, and could potentially leak all over your clothes. Plus, if you're flying with just a carry-on, the perfume bottle will likely be too big for your liquids bag.

The ANTOKX Atomizer Perfume Bottle lets you bring your fragrance with you in a convenient, travel-sized bottle. Holding just 5 ml, this item is easy to fit in your bag and is leakproof and refillable.

Wobsion Rechargeable Travel Makeup Mirror with Light.

Amazon

Price: $35.99 +

Details: If you're into makeup like I am, then the Wobsion Rechargeable Travel Makeup Mirror is worth adding to your Christmas list (I've just added it to mine).

I've had those travel moments with terrible lighting or tiny shared mirrors, which is a nightmare for trying to get ready in the morning. This portable mirror folds up so it's easy to put in your bag. Plus, it has three colour modes and adjustable brightness so you don't have to worry about bad lighting.

BOACAY Packable Travel Blanket.

Amazon

Price: $28.86

Details: Travel blankets are a staple, especially if you're on a long flight. You can often purchase them on board, but they can be pricey and usually aren't great quality.

The BOACAY Packable Travel Blanket on Amazon looks super cozy and comes with a matching pouch. You can also use it as a pillow or hand warmer.

It's perfect for overnight flights or if you tend to get cold on board a plane.

Parima Small Jewelry Box.

Amazon

I came across the Parima Jewelry Organizer Box on Amazon and immediately added it to my wish list. Not only is the monogrammed exterior super cute, the inside has convenient sections for necklaces, rings, earrings and more.

Portable tripod

TONEOF Tripod.

TONEOF Tripod.

Amazon

Price: $39.99 +

Details: A quintessential part of travelling is snapping photos. If you find that you're always asking strangers to take your pic, then the TONEOF Tripod might be worth checking out.

The portable tripod doubles as a selfie stick and is collapsable, so you can easily stow it in your purse for the day. It even has a wireless remote so you don't need to worry about setting a timer and rushing into place.

Mrsdry Travel Bottles for Toiletries.

Amazon

Price: $24.92 +

Details: As someone who frequently travels with only a carry-on, I often find it challenging to neatly fit all of my liquids into the designated bag.

Amazon has tons of cute silicone travel bottles that can be used to store shampoo, cleanser, body lotion and more. There are so many colourful options, like the purple ones from Mrsdry.

Plus, the bottles are reusable so you can keep them with you during all your future adventures.
