What to Pack for a Summer Holiday: Gift These Travel Essentials This Christmas

Summer holidays are all about sunshine, beaches, and time outdoors, which makes Christmas the perfect moment to give gifts that will actually be used on every trip. Instead of novelty items that sit in the cupboard, think about gifts that double as travel essentials.

Whether your loved one is heading to the coast for a week, planning a road trip, or jetting off overseas, the right gear makes all the difference. And the best part? You can turn this holiday packing list into your Christmas shopping guide.

Here are the must-have travel essentials to pack for a summer getaway — and why gifting them this Christmas will make you everyone’s favourite gift-giver.

1. Sand Free Beach Towel

At the very top of any summer holiday packing list is a sand free beach towel. It’s lightweight, compact, and dries in minutes, making it much more practical than a bulky cotton towel.

The Nomadique travel towel is designed with premium microfibre towel fabric that feels soft on the skin while being incredibly absorbent. Unlike cheap microfibre towels, it doesn’t trap odours or lose its texture over time. And with the innovative beach towel with pocket, your keys, phone, or sunscreen stay safe and sand-free.

Why it’s a perfect Christmas gift:

• Works for the beach, pool, or even as a picnic blanket.

• Fits easily into luggage, making it a must-pack for any trip.

• Stylish prints make it feel like a luxe gift.

2. Reusable Drink Bottle

Staying hydrated is essential in the summer heat. A high-quality stainless steel water bottle keeps drinks cold for hours, cuts down on plastic waste, and is something they’ll use every day.

---

3. Sun Protection Kit

No summer holiday is complete without good SPF. Sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of UV-protection sunglasses make a thoughtful gift bundle. Bonus points if you choose reef-safe sunscreen to keep the oceans safe too.

4. Lightweight Day Bag

A compact backpack or tote is essential for carrying daily beach gear, snacks, and travel essentials. Pair it with a sand free beach towel for the ultimate gift combo.

---

5. Portable Charger

From capturing beach sunsets to navigating road trips, devices need power. A small but powerful portable charger makes sure your loved one is never stuck without battery life.

---

6. Eco-Friendly Toiletry Kit

Help them pack light and sustainably with solid shampoo bars, bamboo toothbrushes, and reusable containers. These not only save space but also cut down on single-use plastics.

---

7. Snorkel Set or Swim Gear

For those who love exploring the ocean, a compact snorkel set or a pair of swim fins is a fantastic summer holiday essential. It adds a sense of adventure to any trip.

---

8. Travel Journal

Encourage them to capture memories with a lightweight travel journal. Pair it with a pack of eco-friendly pens for a thoughtful, creative gift.

---

9. Compact Picnicware

Summer holidays are full of beach picnics and park lunches. A reusable picnic set with collapsible containers, bamboo cutlery, and stainless steel straws makes eating outdoors easy and sustainable.

---

10. A Great Book or Kindle

Nothing says summer holiday like a good book. A Kindle is ideal for travellers who don’t want to carry extra weight, while a paperback can be a thoughtful, personal choice.

Why Travel Essentials Make the Best Christmas Gifts

The best gifts aren’t just stylish – they’re useful. When you give someone a travel towel or other holiday essential, you’re giving them something they’ll rely on every day of their trip. It’s practical, thoughtful, and guaranteed not to end up forgotten in a drawer.

And for Australians, a beach towel is one of the most used items over Christmas and summer. Whether they’re jetting off on holiday or enjoying the local coastline, a towel is always packed and ready.
