The 21 Best Honeymoon Gifts for Couples Who Love to Travel
Before the happy couple can fly off to their honeymoon, they need a few things to make it the perfect start to married life. And like the good friend or family member you are, you want to help them out. Honeymoon gifts for the couple will ensure they're packed and booked to go on their dream newlywed trip. While you could simply contribute to their wedding registry's honeymoon fund, travel accessories go the extra miles to support their wanderlust. From airline and hotel gift cards to new luggage and personalized ways to track their adventures, these are the best honeymoon gifts whether you're shopping for a couple's shower offering or a wedding present.
1. The Knot Honeymoon Journal
Step one to executing a dream honeymoon: this diary. This honeymoon journal helps couples plan, enjoy and remember their trip. They'll start by answering questions and reading travel tips as they decide where to go, then can capture their honeymoon memories by responding to prompts, so they can reflect and relive them for years to come. Honestly, you could give this as early as an engagement gift.
2. Airline Gift Card
There's a lot couples can do with a Delta Air Lines gift card, from funding their honeymoon flights, to upgrading their seats, to adding a checked bag. Serving over 275 destinations in more than 60 countries, Delta offers up a world of exploration. So naturally, it's a back-to-back winner at our 2022 and 2023 Registry Awards.
3. Monogrammed Luggage Tags
No suitcase is complete without a stylish luggage tag on the handle. Not to mention it also helps ensure the luggage gets back to the right owner if it's ever lost. These vegan leather tags come in five classic colors and can be monogrammed with a colorful shadow print font. Just make sure you know if either of them is changing their last name before ordering.
4. Personalized Passport Covers
Are they planning to travel internationally? Make sure they each have their passport and that it's stored in an extra-safe place, like a cute leather cover. This one comes in nine colors and reads: "And so… the adventure begins." Don't forget to have it personalized with each newlywed's name.
5. Spacious Carry-On
With over 1,000 reviews and a five-star rating, Monos' Carry-On Pro Plus is the suitcase to gift for the honeymoon if the couple didn't register for a specific model.
