25 Best gifts for Travelers - Puzzle Edition

What would make the best gifts for travelers?

Firstly, the gift should represent their love of travel somehow. Travelers have to be great packers! They need to pack up their clothes and any belongings so that they can take as much as they can. Flat packing puzzles are perfect since you need to be a great packer to solve these puzzles!

Secondly,  we often buy them gifts that they can take with them. So if they are going to take the gift traveling then it needs to pack well. Flat packing puzzles are perfect to squeeze into the luggage without ever getting in the way.

Thirdly, we are sure that travelers have thought of everything they need to travel and probably have it already. So why buy them something they already have? Buy them something that they surely DON't have - a flat packing puzzle.

Lastly, travelers probably love gifts that they can take with them to use during all the long layovers in airports, or while they are basking in the sun at a beach. Flat packing puzzles are perfect to pass them time. You can even get a few of them so they can have hours of fun.

Maybe it is a good idea to send them off with some easy packing puzzles and some hard ones! If you click on the learn more buttons it will take you to a detailed description and their levels of difficulty. This will help!
