Planning an adventure? Or know someone who is going to need a few gadgets to aid them on an exhibition? Look no further, the following 'adventure travel gift stores' are ready to aid you and your shopping needs.

Magellan's Travel Store: Whether you need a sleep mask or a GPS system, this store has it all. From lightweight clothes to auto travel necessities, Megellan's is ready to outfit you or those your buying for with one of the largest selections of travel accessories available.

Mountain Equipment Co-op: This store is geared towards the outdoor adventurer suppling everything from trekking poles, lightweight hiking packs, camping knives and tools, tents, boots and so much more. Owned and operated in Canada, this chain has an amazing array of well priced, high quality products. But don't worry non-Canadians, they ship throughout the world!

eBay: Of course eBay has to be on the list. Where else can you find all that you need and plenty of what you don't! Accessed by millions worldwide, and ever growing, eBay is a one-stop destination for whatever your heart, or wallet, desires. Buyer beware though, check the sellers standings before you make that must-have purchase.

Wal-Mart: Ah, the plethora of items waiting for you at your local Wal-Mart store. Great prices, lots of variety, easily accessible, this store has it all. Keep your head and make a budget before you enter though, who knows what you could exit with if you don't!

Now, this is hardly an extensive list of great stores to purchase quality adventure travel gifts from but they are some of the best. Let's not, however, negate the importance of stores like Canadian Tire, Sam's, Costco, and Target for their affordable options to buying standard or unique travel gifts.

When shopping for a travel gift, the key is to keep in mind yours or the giftee's interests and needs. Purchasing a five inch camping knife with a compass in the handle may be fun, but if your heading to the orient for a cruise, well, you get the idea. So, enjoy your shopping and happy travelling!
