While some travel for pleasure, others travel for business. If you have a traveler among family members and friends, this article will explore a few of the travel gift ideas good not only during this holiday season but all through the year.

The Magellan’s on-line store has a variety of gifts for travelers to suit any budget. In this article we will explore gift ideas that range from under $50 to over $100. Some items fit perfectly the international travelers, others the national travelers, while others are perfect for any type of traveler.

Travel Hair Dryer with Adaptor Plugs
Although many upscale hotels offer hair dryers in the room, most hotels and other lodging facilities don't. This hair dryer is dual voltage thus allowing the traveler to carry it around and use it in most parts of the world. It is lightweight and compact and can be purchased for $39.85. It does not come with plug adaptors, which are needed when traveling to certain countries abroad. However, the store offers another option which includes four adaptor plugs for a total of $48.85.

Which one to choose? If the gift recipient travels only to one foreign country, then it will be less expensive to purchase the hair dryer ($39.95) and the respective plug adaptor for the specific country ($3.99). Or, you may opt to purchase the first one if the traveler already had a hair dryer but it stopped functioning. If, however, your traveler goes all over the globe and does not have a hair dryer, yet, then you may want to opt for the second choice.

Pack-It Folder 18 and Pack-It Folder 20 
This is like a suitcase within your suitcase. It allows you to pack items and then place them in your regular suitcase. Their advertisement says, “With Pack-It® Folders, your clothes will arrive as crisp as when you packed them.” Even if the hotel offers an iron and ironing board, few individuals would choose to iron when the option is given of wearing already wrinkle free garments. The first item is for shirts, blouses, and slacks. The second one is for jackets, suits, and sweaters. The prices are $27.45 and $29.85 respectively.

Wind 'N Go Shaver
For the man who is always traveling, this razor is an answer to his shaving needs. It does not require electricity but just the will to rotate a handle a few times to charge the razor. Magellan's describes the article as follows “This ingenious shaver has a convenient hand-crank (just 30 seconds of cranking provides a two-minute shave!),
