It’s that time of year again! Christmas always seems to sneak up on me, does it feel the same to you? To help you find some fun gifts for your little jetsetter, I’ve rounded up the super cute gifts below. I’ve focussed on something a bit different this year instead of just toys. Instead you’ll find ideas for something to play, explore, read, share and wear.
1. Play: Bratz Study Abroad Dolls
Bratz dolls have been re-imagined with this new “Study Abroad” range. The dolls explore countries around the world by adopting the culture’s traditional fashion and styles and incorporates them into their own wardrobe. Example countries include Mexico, China, Brazil and Russia. I do like this new remake of the Bratz dolls as they focus on teaching kids about other cultures and encourages that “need to travel” urge from a young age.
US: Amazon from $10.78 (USD)
AUS: Toysrus.com.au $29.95 (AUDon sale at time of print)
2. Explore: Little Passports
The perfect way to encourage a love of travel in little ones as well as enjoying the excitement of a monthly package full of fun, engaging travel-themed products. Choose the adventures and subscription plan that’s right for your child – Early Explorers (ages 3-5), World Edition (ages 6-10), USA Edition (ages 7-12) – and your child’s destination-specific kit will arrive in the mail each month filled with letters, souvenirs, activities and more.
Little Passports ships globally: $15.95 USD per month plus shipping
3. Read: Lonely Planet Books
Little explorers will love planning their next adventure with these new Lonely Planet books designed to bring the world to life for junior jetsetters. I particularly like the Lonely Planet Kids’ special edition atlas, Adventures Around the Globe, which is full of activities and stickers (for kids three years-plus). Kids aged eight and over can journey through every country in the world via The Lonely Planet Kids Travel Book.
Adventures Around the Globe – World Atlas: AUD $16.99, USD $12.99
The Lonely Planet Kids Travel Book: AUD $29.99, USD $20
You Rule!: AUD $19.99, USD $14.99
4. Wear: Peter Alexander PJs
I love Peter Alexander PJs because they’re so soft and comfortable, plus their wash and wear extremely well. Their new Paris range is perfect for little travellers to fill their heads with big dreams about their next adventures.
Peter Alexander Paris Collection: AUD $59.95
5. Share: Card games
Spot It! Is a popular travel card game that now has a Spot It Jr! line especially for ages 4 to 7 – this animals one is particularly cute. Spot it! is a travel-friendly matching game can be played five different ways. Each card is decorated with 6 different animals of varying sizes. Here’s the amazing part: there is one, and only one, matching animal between any 2 cards.
Spot It Jr! US: Amazon $8.87, Aus: Myshopping.com.au $19.95.

I love this list!
I really like the look of the Little Passport subscriptions. Such a clever idea, and a great way to foster a love of travel and other cultures.
Thanks Cristin! I’m going to be reviewing the Little Passports packs soon, so stay tuned for more info on them! I’m excited too – they look so cute.
Ooh I used to play Spot It, I didn’t know there was a junior edition! I have done ZERO Christmas shopping so far, must pull my finger out!
I’ve done the opposite – peaked too soon and now forgotten what Iv’e got for whom, and bought the kid too much 🙁
Such beautiful gift ideas, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Claire!
This is great! Love the jet-setting theme. 🙂
Thanks Monica!
I love a gift guide! Do those PJs come in adult sizes?! I am such a fan of Lonely Planet books – they have helped me in my travels many times so it’s great to see titles for kids too. Great list Christine xx
I think they might have the PJs in adult sizes too! 😀 Thanks Tash.
