For whichever travel-hungry friend you may be shopping for gifts in the upcoming months, whether there's a birthday, wedding or major promotion, think about making their vacation even better with a present geared toward their wanderlust. If you're racking your brain for ideas, here are some that are sure to make friends and family even more excited for their luxurious trip.

For the Tech-Obsessed
For the friend who's never seen without her laptop or tablet, think about finding a unique, protective case that makes it easy to tote around from place to place. These soft or hard cases come in a variety of designs, fabrics and models, and if you know your friend well enough, you can find one that mimics the same style. Worn-in leather cases, hard, etched wood coverings and envelope-like sleeves are all good options, so next time you're out with your buddy, check out the purse and other baggage she's already toting to find just the right style for them.

For the Girly Girl
Whether they're jet-setting to Paris or Los Angeles, some travelers like to stay glamorous 24/7. Feeling beautiful often means they have to smell fresh, and with a pack of travel-size perfumes, they can spritz on the go and be confident that they're leaving a sweet scent behind. These tiny aromatic bottles are perfect for throwing in a carry-on or backpack, and they won't have to worry about forgetting to switch it to a different bag - just throw another one in!

For the Practical
It may seem like a strange gift to give, but someone who's got a jam-packed travel agenda venturing to a handful of vacation rentals worldwide will certainly appreciate a universal travel adapter. Some models can fit outlets in more than 150 countries, so your friend will never have to worry about using a hair dryer and charging a cell phone or camera battery ever again. Not only is the gift practical, it's also affordable, so it can be a great idea for when you're in a pinch and need to bring a present for a gift exchange or casual party.

For the Quirky
There's always that one friend or family member that is practically impossible to shop for. Their taste is very particular, or they never seem to need anything. In those cases, humorous luggage tags are a great idea. After having a relaxing stay at an upscale luxury rental, the last thing you want is to spend unnecessary time looking for your suitcase, which looks just like 90 percent of all the other luggage on the conveyor belt. With a kitschy tag that states, "What's your baggage?" "I love not camping" or "Are we there yet?" your friend won't be able to keep from smiling and will have the added bonus of spotting her bags right away.
