If your goal is to visit all 50 states and have a cool way to document it, this is the gift for you.

5. Colorful Passport Covers. These could make great stocking stuffers. If you are a family to likes to travel internationally, you know that it can be a small hassle to flip through each passport to discover which one belongs to which family member. With colorful cases, each family member can see her or his own color and can quickly grab theirs from the pile. Plus it’s fun to add some personalization and fun to each passport.
6. Cork Globe. There is just something special and exciting about maps. This map is a globe plus it’s made of cork which makes it perfect for adding pushpins to mark off all of your favorite places you’ve visited. It’s a great way to help your family picture where the places they have visited or want to visit are located in the world.
7. Adventure Box. This is a fun game that combines adventure with a creative scavenger hunt. There are a few things that make this a perfect gift. It’s compact, so it would be easy to take along on trips. You could also easily use this around your hometown when you are looking to add a little adventure to a regular day. This included 30 wooden discs with 3 things to find on each side of the disc. Head to a cupcake shop, record store, go on a hike, visit a school playground, eat at an ethnic restaurant, visit a bookstore, go berry picking, and more.
8. National Parks Pass. If you are wanting to find a gift that is great for a family who loves to explore, a National Parks Pass could be the perfect fit. The cost of the pass is $80 and gives a family free admission to all of the National Parks in the United States for a year. This feels extra special this year since we aren’t able to travel as much as we would like and this gives families some amazing destinations to visit. Almost everyone in the US lives within a day trip drive from a National Park, so no matter where they live, this is a great gift for a traveling family.
9. Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook. One of the best things about visiting Disney Parks is getting to sample some of their famously delicious food and treats. Since we still don’t know when Disneyland will open and it’s limited entrance into Disneyworld, cooking some of the treats could be a great way to feel some of the Disney magic while at home. Gifts that get everyone off of screens and working together are a great idea so this cookbook will be perfect for a family ready to do some creating in the kitchen.
10. Our Moments: Families Card Questions. This is a great item to use to spark some conversation ideas while on a road trip, relaxing on vacation, or even over the dinner table.
