5 Fun Gifts For Kids Who Love To Travel

This is a sponsored post.

Looking for a thoughtful gift for a travel-loving child? When it comes to gifting for children, Wicked Uncle’s got it covered. Read on to discover five fun gifts for kids who love to travel.

Despite my love of far-flung places, when I was a child, family holidays involved nothing more than staying in a caravan or chalet at a holiday park somewhere in south Wales, Somerset or Devon. We went to the Isle of Wight once and that was a real adventure for us!

My mum has a fear of flying and our family weren’t overly wealthy, so I’ve never actually flown anywhere with anyone in my family. It wasn’t until I was 16 that I actually travelled abroad for the first time, visiting New York with my sixth form college. A couple of years later, the travel bug began to hit and I booked my first holiday with a friend to Lagos, Portugal, sparking a passion for far-flung places and an appetite for global cuisine.

I often wonder how things might’ve turned out if I’d travelled more from a younger age. How might travelling more as a child have enabled me to develop and flourish as an individual? Would it have shaped me differently in any way?

If you know a child who loves to travel and you’re keen to encourage their sense of adventure, you might be thinking about getting them a travel-themed gift for their next birthday or for another special occasion. From Kids Commuter Scooters to skateboards, you may already have a few ideas in mind when it comes to fun travel gifts for kids.

To get you thinking, I’ve teamed up with Wicked Uncle to showcase their impressive range of gifts for children. I’m particularly pleased to see just how many travel-inspired gifts they have, all at fairly reasonable prices too. I’ve also recently discovered the Toynk online store, which stocks a range of unique items that could make for the perfect gift for a traveller at heart!

Here are just a few of my favourite travel-themed gifts for kids from their range.

World Curiosities Puzzle

This 350-piece world map jigsaw puzzle has a quirky twist – it features a selection of iconic 3D monuments and landmarks from all around the world.

Measuring a whopping 99cm x 69cm once completed, the puzzle is accompanied by 50 cardboard figurines for children to assemble and place onto their corresponding destinations, along with a handy guidebook to enable them to find out where each landmark or monument belongs.

Revolving Globe

Travel around the world in just 14 seconds with this revolving globe, which would look great sitting on a desk or perhaps on a bedside table.

Measuring 14cm in height, the globe spins continuously on its little base. An AA battery (not included, so make sure you’ve got some at home) provides enough power for the globe to spin for around 30 days.

Scratch Map

These scratch maps aren’t just for kids – in fact, I’ve got one myself – but children are bound to love them. Scratching off each destination you’ve been to – just as though you’re scratching off a scratchcard – is incredinly satisfying.

Giving a child who loves to travel a scratch map like this is bound to fuel their passion and encourage them to consider visiting different destinations as they get older.

Outdoor Adventure Camping Projector

If you know a child who loves to camp, treat them to this quirky 11cm camping projector, which casts images of wildlife and stars all over walls and ceilings (or your tent!) and can also be used as a nightlight.

With automatic shut-off if inactive after 15 minutes, you won’t have to worry about the battery dying if you fall asleep either.

Giant World Puzzle

If the World Curiosities Puzzle isn’t quite what you’re looking for, opt for a traditional jigsaw puzzle instead. Wicked Uncle’s 300-piece giant world puzzle is dotted with adorable illustrations of iconic landmarks and monuments, native animals, local cuisine and more.

The map comes with a poster you can use to help you assemble the pieces, along with a sturdy carry case complete with a fabric handle.

Hopefully, you’re now feeling more inspired on what to get for the child who just can’t get enough of all those family holidays!

Vuly Swing Set

Plus, if you’re looking to invest in a gift for kids who love to travel that can be enjoyed at home, take a look at this Vuly Swing Set. This is sure to be popular with any little adventurers – plus, they’ll be able to enjoy it throughout the summer holidays.

Vuly makes world-class backyard swing sets from quality materials. The attachments available for the swing sets are really unique, with options for traditional swings, yoga swings, trapeze swings and even little wrecking balls! Vuly allows customers to make their own custom sets with an online builder, which makes it possible to create the perfect set for any backyard. As kids grow, they can expand the set with additional frame units and more advanced swings.
