The best 5 gifts for adventurous travellers
1. MAGNETIC TRAVEL CHESS SET
Ok, this might seem a bit nerdy at first sight, but chess is the most popular and probably smartest game in the world and can be played wherever you like. A magnetic hard wooden board keeps the pieces in place and makes each move a smooth one for Kings and Queens, no matter if you play on a sandy beach or on an inclined sailing boat or in an expedition tent hanging on a north face.
We love the German brand Ulbrich, the last company in Germany to produce games handcrafted with intarsia technique.
2. LODESTARS ANTHOLOGY SUBSCRIPTION
This is an independent magazine for inquisitive travellers but actually feels more like a beautiful coffee table book. Each issue sets the focus on just one country and takes a very personal approach to travel with beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written stories.
Amazing Liz Schaffer and her talented Lodestars Anthology team master the art of bringing the rich experience of slow travel, with all its colours, sounds and flavours to paper.
With a subscription you’ll receive several issues per year. Each one adding a new destination to your bucket list.
The New Zealand issue was our Journal/Guide/Scrapbook/Manuka Flower Press and accompanied us to the remotest spots on the North and South Island.
3. MULTIPURPOSE WASH BAG
Danish Luxury Travel Bag Brand MISMO has created this beautiful wash bag made out of water proof hard woven Italian nylon with a thin leather string for tying the bag together or hanging it up.You never know what to expect when you’re travelling, whom you’ll meet and what you’ll end up doing. Therefore it’s always best to pack intelligently with multipurpose items. This wash bag is actually so stylish, that after emptying your toilet accessories, you can use it as pouch for your purse/wallet/iPad/keys and elegantly stroll off to a nice restaurant or an important meeting.
4. FIRE STARTER
This is the ultimate must-have gadget for hardy adventurers: The Gerber Bear Grylls Fire Starter. It requires some patience and experience but will definitely bring you as close to the cave man feeling of igniting a fire with a spark as you can ever get. And how cool is that!
5. HOLIDAY IN AN OFF GRID HIDEAWAYS LOCATION
Yes, this is the big one and only for a person who really deserves it. But this gift also comes with a big advantage for the giver: the chances are quite high that you can go too!
Have a browse through our handpicked collection and find the best gift imaginable: time with your loved-one(s) in one of our Hideaways, far away from the hustle and bustle of every day life.
