1. Jord Watches
Nothing beats the gift of time, so an elegant way of checking it has to be second-best, right? Personally, I am a watch person. I feel weird not wearing one, and it’s such an easy and hassle-free way to accessorize when you’re on the go. If it’s functional + fashionable, it’s a must-have!
Jord (pronounced Yode) is based in St. Louis, MO where they constantly develop new and elegant designs. The watches are a sophisticated mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components.
You even have the option of engraving a personalized love note on the back to add a special touch this Valentine’s Day!

2. Frost River Urban Field Bag
If you know me, you know I’m usually carrying around a small arsenal of emergency snacks and beverages, a small pharmacy and a plethora of items for just about any situation. I’m extremely picky (and opinionated) when it comes to the bags I use in order to carry all this with me on a daily basis, and I can honestly say the Urban Field Bag from Frost River exceeds my high expectations.
This bag is made of waxed canvas, so it’s durable, water-resistant and equipped for any adventure with abundant pockets to hold all your travel necessities.
Get it from Frost River Trading Company, For $80

3. TravelWifi Wireless Wifi
In this digital age, it’s essential to have reliable Wifi when you’re on the go. Give the gift of staying connected with TravelWifi’s Teppy Pocket Wifi device.
You can rent or buy coverage, and customize your plan to your needs. I personally have used my Teppy all over the US and even in Asia, and I just know you’ll love it as much as I do.
4. Minnesota Made Apparel
Represent where you’re from with stylish (and eco-friendly) apparel from Minnesota Made! Sarah, the owner and founder, is a personal friend and her shop in Stillwater, MN is beautifully curated with gifts perfect for everyone in your life.
Each item is designed and screen-printed in Minnesota with every T-shirt having a hidden quote made to empower and inspire and all of the apparel is proudly using sustainable and USA apparel. Minnesota Made is dedicated to unique and thoughtful design, quality clothing on premium fabrics, and giving Minnesotan’s apparel they can wear with pride!
5. Instax Camera
There’s something so romantic about being able to take little imperfect snapshot photos of your travels, which is why I personally love my Instax Mini. The photos make wonderful keepsakes and I love having them on display.
Get it the Instax Mini 90 on Amazon for $109
6. Yeti Tumbler
One of the simplest ways we can lower our carbon footprint while traveling is by bringing a reusable drinkware. I really stand behind Yeti because it’s high quality, durable and keeps your drink at the desired temperature. There are a bunch of mug and tumbler options, but personally I like using the 20oz. tumbler for everyday use.
7. Alpine Start Instant Coffee
My husband and I started drinking these instant coffee packs with us while camping and honestly they are really good! Their tagline is “Instant Coffee that actually tastes good” and I can confirm that’s true! Fast, delicious, and pocket sized!
8. Airbnb Experiences
If you’re looking for a unique gift for your Adventure partner, how about giving them a one-of-a-kind experience run by locals? There are over 3,000 different experiences to choose from, each led by a local guide who love where they’re from and what they do.
You can search by city, price and experience length - the possibilities are endless.
9. Glossier Boy Brow

I recently discovered Boy Brow for myself and I can honestly say it’s the best addition to my small, but mighty, makeup collection. When you’re on the go, bringing only the essentials is key. And having nice eyebrows with minimal effort is also great when you’re not great shakes at doing a full face of makeup.
So what is Boy Brow? It’s a grooming pomade that helps shape your brows and keep them in place all day. It comes in 4 shades: Blonde, Brown and Black and Clear, packaged in a very tiny tube that takes up next to no space in your travel bag.
But don’t just take my word for it. With over 2,500+ positive reviews, you really can’t go wrong!
10. City Tins:
If your partner’s love for Adventure is equal to their love of food, City Tins might just be the perfect addition to your Valentine’s Day. City Tins offers $10 off various restaurants around the Twin Cities and parts of Wisconsin.
