If you haven’t heard of Etsy, you’ve been missing out!  Etsy is a gathering place for talented artists worldwide selling their handmade pieces.  While you might naturally think that this is more for arts & crafts lovers that are looking for quilts and jewelry, you'll also find amazing rustic wooden crafts, leather goods, home décor, and much more.  It's a handmade and vintage e-commerce marketplace all on one platform!

So what does this have to do with travel?  Well I was poking around the other day and found quite a few unique travel gifts and gear that I thought I'd share.  These are some of my top picks for smart and creative travel-related items that can be found on Etsy.  You'll find out soon enough that they make great gifts but what will most likely happen is that you'll like them so much that you'll also want to buy it for yourself too.

Must-Buy Travel Gifts on Etsy

Here are 10 great products that are all hand-made with love on Etsy.  These are great travel gifts on Etsy that you can either give to a friend or perhaps even keep it for yourself because you'll find it THAT amazing.

Etsy has truly revolutionized the arts and crafts industry with 2.1 million vendors.  It's quite the remarkable story of how the company came to be and how it's evolved over its 15 year history.  According to ConsumerAffairs, Etsy has a 4 star rating based on 2,164 customer reviews which also shows you how many people love and appreciate the platform.

[1] Leather Travel Wallet

This travel wallet is simply stylish and puts my current nylon passport holder to shame.  You can almost smell the leather just by looking at it.  As a good organizer it has a ton of compartments for cards, pen, passport, and coins.  So if you're the organized type, this is definitely something for you.

Shop:  HOUSEofLH

Price:  $43.12 USD (prices will vary with exchange rate)

[2] Recycled Rubber Wallet

If you are looking for a smaller compact wallet with minimal impact to the environment, this might be for you.  Made out of a bicycle's inner tube, each piece is unique.  Quite the clever use of repurposed rubber!

This makes a great travel gift!

Shop:  SpokenStitch

Price:  $10 USD (prices will vary with exchange rate)

[3] Cord Organizer

No more tangled cables! This cord organizer has individual elastic sections for each cord and a handy zipper pouch.  This design comes in many patterns, I’m sure you’ll find one to your liking. Bonus for the ladies, you can even use this for your makeup brush when you’re on the road.

Price:  $31 USD

[4] Paracord Bracelet

I know what you guys are thinking, there are already so many paracord bracelets on the market, but this one is more than a simple bracelet.  The buckle has a built in compass, a sharp metal edge and a whistle, and within the paracord there’s flint and steel to start a fire.  You never know right?

Shop:  Paracolt

Price:  $12 USD

[5] Personalized Luggage Tag

You know I love my Buffs!  This Buff is actually a legitimate custom made by the Buff Brand with a beautiful design of the Albertan Rocky Mountains with the Northern Lights.  The colours on here are quite spectacular.

[7] Natural Body Butter

This is the perfect travel-sized 6 pack of body butter.  Being in the dry north, dry skin has always been an issue and so something like this is great at replenishing your skin.  Experiencing extreme dry skin on my latest trip to Egypt, this is a must-pack for any travel toiletry kit.

Shop:  QueenBeeTradingCo

Price:  $11.50 USD

[8] Push Pin Travel Map Canvas

Edit Post ‹ Going Awesome Places — WordPress

If you are an avid traveller, you have to get a world map for your home.  I love how it gives you a visual of the places you’ve been to by using push pins to mark the cities you’ve been.  As a constant wanderluster, this also helps you visualize where you want to go to next.  This map has a foam board backing for easy pinning and you can choose from three different sized canvases. It's a beautiful artwork piece that will guarantee to take front stage in your living space.

Shop:  Macanaz

Price:  $122 USD

[9] Double Peak Mountain Shelf

Price:  $52.21 (prices will vary with exchange rate)

[10]  Vintage Suitcase

I'm not sure if you know but Etsy also has a special “Vintage” section.  This is where awesome antique owners can sell their one of a kind and collectable items.  Finds like this suitcase would be great additions to your house especially if you're looking for a place to put all those city maps and museum pamphlets that you collect along the way.

Shop:  ThirdShift

Price:  $98 CAD
