Looking for a gift for a family that loves to travel? Need gift ideas for your own family? Here are ten gift ideas to get you started.

1. A toiletry bag. This is something most traveling families would use and appreciate. One great source for them is L.L. Bean, where you can order water-resistant, multi-pocketed personal organizers in a variety of sizes. The bags come with a handy mirror and a hook, so they can hang from a door or shower rod. They also have a great selection of colors, from ordinary green to wild patterns.

2. A lightweight suitcase. Most families have too much luggage as it is; a suitcase that is heavy in itself only complicates matters. Look for a new rolling bag made of lightweight materials such as microfiber or nylon. A good online source to check is Ebags.com, where you’ll find detailed descriptions, pictures, and reviews.

3. A pretty diaper bag. If you have a new mom on your list, a pretty new diaper bag that can double as a carry-on makes a great gift. Look for one with multiple pockets, compartments to stash bottles or sippy cups, space for a changing pad, and a bright pattern that will hide stains. You don’t necessarily have to purchase a bag marketed as a diaper bag, many retailers sell regular bags that work great for moms. Try verabradley.com.

4. Booklights. You can find these at most major bookstores and they are a versatile gift for a traveling family. Kids can use them while riding in the car at night or parents can use them to read in a hotel room when a brighter light would disturb sleeping kids.

5. Travel pillows. Inflatable travel pillows take up little space in a carry-on but can provide a lot of comfort on a long flight. If you want something a little more fun for kids, check out kidstravelzone.com for cuddly animal shaped travel pillows.

6. An airbed. For families that need an extra bed now and then for a hotel room or while crashing on a relative’s floor, an airbed with a battery operated pump makes a practical gift.

7. Travel entertainment for the kids. Whether it’s a new movie for the car DVD player, coloring books and crayons, scented markers and a pad of paper, sticker books or travel games, you can find something to keep any traveling child busy.

8. A GPS unit. If you want a bigger gift, consider a portable GPS they can use on road trips, when hiking in the back country, or just tooling around town.

9. Gift certificates. Some possibilities that would be useful for travelers: Barnes and Noble or Borders for travel guidebooks, McDonalds or Dunkin’ Donuts for on the road pit stops, or a gift certificate to a great restaurant in an area they’ll be visiting soon.

10. Packing organizers. Help them get the most space from their suitcase with space saving bags that contain an air valve to help press out extra air or soft sided mesh packing bags to separate and organize clothing. LL Bean is a good source.
