Black Friday UK: 101 Gifts for Travellers Under £50a

There are just two sleeps left until Black Friday. That special time that reminds us of the true meaning of Christmas – stuff! 

More specifically for us travel-lovers, stuff that makes our journeys smoother, easier and more comfortable.

As an extensive traveller himself, we’re sure Santa would approve.

Whatever you think of the annual retail rally, Black Friday is also a reminder that Christmas is scarily close.

And that if you move fast, you’re likely to still have your pick of the good stuff and make sure your precious cargo arrives in time for the 25th.

What to Get the “I Don’t Need Anything” Person

Marking the biggest shopping day of the year on your calendar is the easy part.

If you’re anything like me, the biggest headache is finding something that your giftees are going to love. And importantly, something they will use and appreciate.

After all, that ‘eyes lighting up’ moment is what gifting is all about.
