3 Reasons to Give Gifts to Your Beau Before He Leaves and 10 Awesome Gifts for Boyfriend Going Travelling

Being the girlfriend of a guy, who is always on the go, can sometimes be a bit frustrating. But wanderlust is more than just a hobby for some people. It may be a necessity, a part of their job profile or a burning passion. Although he may not always show it, your boyfriend inadvertently misses you during his long travels. A little parting present can therefore cheer him up and lift up his mood. It could be a travel wallet or an engraved bracelet or locket. The primary aim of the gift should be to grant him emotional satisfaction and somewhat make up for you not being there with him.

Romance means different things to different people. So, choose a gift which embodies the romance between you two, and one which he can carry along with him on his travels. If you are a believer in old fashioned romance, then give him a book of romantic poetry, such as The Penguin Book of Romantic Poetry by John Wordsworth, or Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair by Pablo Neruda. If he carries an e-book reader then you could by him digital versions of these books. You could give him a personalised photo keychain or a personalised travel mug. If you want a gift which is fun and a little sexy at the same time, give him some boxer shorts with unique prints and messages on them.

Although you are his girlfriend, it may not always be possible or practical, for you to tag along with him on his adventures. What you can do though, is make sure that he stays comfortable and safe during his travels. The best way to do that would be to give him gifts that he would find useful while travelling and basically help him stay happy and comfortable. Give him something functional and easy to carry around like a Swiss knife or a multi-tool keychain. If he is travelling to a destination with low temperatures, you could give him a warm utility jacket with multiple pockets. If he is going on a camping trip then get him a portable solar powered lamp, a backpack with multiple pockets and sections, a sports bottle or a great pair of hiking shoes.

Travelling light is always the best option. Nowadays we tend to opt for luggage which requires no assistance and can be carried by oneself. Gone are the days of porters and big bulky suitcases. Our luggage now comes with retractable handles and wheels making then easier to manoeuvre. So make sure you gift your boyfriend something which is small, compact, fits easily into his luggage or can be worn by him on his person. Your gift should make his travelling experience easier and not the other way around.
