The spirit of giving during Christmas sometimes means investing in things for other people. Instead of a plane ticket, if you're feeling generous, why not give the traveler in your life something a little extravagant too?
Fears of your gift not being used doesn't have to lead to gift cards or less expensive items, so you can still invest in the people you love over the holidays.
That intrepid explorer is always on the go and live that "minimalist lifestyle." These travel gifts are about making life easier and with limited space in luggage, we can't afford to waste space with unnecessary items.

Apple's 2019 iPhone launch has a lot in common with its previous ventures but has better battery life. iPhone 11 loses in some areas against the two 11 Pros but the iPhone 11 is, in its own right, a feature-rich phone at a markedly more affordable price. A clever software known as Deep Fusion takes multiple photos at one time to ascertain the most optimal versions, then mashes them together for the best possible results.

Basically, Hero is a no-frills action camera that emphasizes simplicity and ease-of-use over raw power as its name suggests. As a traveler, you will appreciate how light the camera is and yet how incredible the video results are. Waterproof and durable, Hero goes where your smartphone can't. It is waterproof down to a very useful depth of 33ft/10m without the need for an additional case.
It provides good audio and video performance, an easy-to-use touch-screen interface, remote control via a mobile app, and image stabilization to an affordably priced action camera. Although it borrows the same form factor and design as the pricier Hero5 Black and Hero6 Black, the biggest difference with the other Hero versions is with the options available for shooting.
