A waterproof lightweight backpack is always necessary for backpackers. One can perfectly utilize this kind of lightweight backpack on a day trip, hiking or trekking. You can use this kind of backpack for long term travel also. The best part is that you can pack or fold the backpack and can keep it into your main bag.

I used this type of 20-25 l backpack during my day trips in Phuket and it is really comfortable and easy to carry bag.

3. Kindle:
The journey of a backpacker includes the time spent on buses, trains, aeroplanes etc. Having a Kindle during these idle times is an ultimate thing for a traveller.

Kindle is thinner, lighter and waterproof that last for a week with a single battery charge. Kindle has a built-in adjustable light that lets you read in indoor and outdoor condition.

4. Hanging Toiletry Bag:
This one is one of my favourite travel hacks while travel solo. I came to know about this bag while travelling solo in Thailand. In our hostel washroom, there was no shelf and while I was struggling with my toiletries I saw one of my dorm mates to hang this toiletry bag.

This hanging toiletry bag has plenty of pockets and compartments which will keep your personal care items organized. You can easily find your item on an emergency.

5. Convertible Travel Pillow:
This memory foam travel pillow is not only for your neck, but also you can use it for your chin, lumber and leg support. It is not like regular traditional travel pillow, you can give it any shape for your personalized support. This can be an ideal gift who travels a lot by bus, train or airplane.

6. Power Bank:
This is really a worthy thing for a traveller that should not be avoided. You need to keep your cell phone alive while travelling, as it not only helps a traveller to see the Google map but also it helps you to book hotel, cab or find any tourist spot or restaurant. In such cases keeping a high capacity power bank is the best practice while travelling. You can also charge your camera or GoPro with a power bank.

7. Eye Mask:
This is small, cool and comfortable stuff that helps backpackers to get a good sleep in hostel, aeroplane, bus or anywhere. You can understand the importance of eye mask especially when you stay at hostel and share your dorm with strangers who come in late after a night party or get up early at dawn.

Eye masks are small, lightweight and hence you can carry it in your pocket also. It is cheap also that makes it a good option for a gift.

8. Bluetooth Earphones:
Bluetooth earphone is another option to keep yourself entertained. A traveller can use this to spend the idle time in a long journey. Who doesn't like window seat and a headphone?

Bluetooth earphone can also be used as earplugs to avoid noise disturbance while sleeping. It will be one of the best gift ideas and it can be used even when you are not travelling.

9. Universal Travel Power Adapter:
This is a great gift for anyone who loves to explore different countries. This universal travel power adapter allows you to convert the power from your native country to whatever country you find yourself in. It is universal in both directions.

You can also convert the voltage from this power adapter. It has four USB ports, three US outlets with a combined 6A output and you can plug into any country.

10. Passport Holder and Travel Neck Pouch:
This is a solid gift for a traveller that will protect your passport, credit card, cash and other travel documents. Next time you don't have to go through your entire bag to find your important travel documents.

This holder is handy, durable and can be worn below or above the clothes with an adjustable strap.

11. Point and Shoot Camera:
Travelling is all about storing the memory of new places and new people. So if you have a high budget, a point and shoot camera will be one of the best gift options for a traveller. Instax Polaroid Camera looks really cool and you will get an instant photo from this camera.
