Christmas gifts for travellers

From stylish accessories and travel stickers to city-guide series and a mobile disco

Full steam ahead

Steamline's hand-made suitcases evoke a golden age of travel, but they are made with modern materials that are more accustomed to airport knocks and scrapes. Both the cabin and Stowaway versions feature lightweight aluminium handles and "silent" wheels. The four collections were each inspired by a different location: The Editor, Mumbai; The Diplomat, Zurich; The Entrepreneur, Shanghai; and The Correspondent, Kathmandu, which comes in shades from mint green to powder pink.

In the bag

Store travel essentials in stylish accessories made from the seat fabric of an Airbus A320. Created as part of the Channel 4 programme Supersize Salvage, which aired earlier this year, the collection, from designer Julia Crew, includes a wash bag, passport holder and rucksack.

Make scents

Heidi Klein's Coconut Beach Candle brings the ocean to you, no matter how far away you are from a tropical beach. The notes of coconut, jasmine and vanilla will transport you there, in spirit at least. There's also a trio of St Barths candles, created in the French Caribbean to evoke the balmy, faraway island.

World in motion

For high-quality footage that doesn't require huge tech know-how, consider the new Go-Pro Hero video camera with a QuickCapture function for shooting with one-click and Burst Photo for fast-action sequences. It's also built to withstand water, dirt and sand and weighs less than 4oz.

Start from scratch

Keep track of your travel history with this scratch card-style poster. Take a coin to the gold foil and rub off the places you've visited, revealing a multi-coloured map underneath.

Mobile disco

Take the party on the road with a colourful, travel-sized speaker. The Jawbone Mini Jambox connects to your phone, MP3 player or tablet via Bluetooth and has great reviews for its sound quality. It also has a 10-hour battery life and is small enough to fit into hand luggage.

Beach chic

One for fashionable beach bums. Karma Beach's eye-catching beachwear collection comprises kaftans and shorts for wafting around in the sun, but they are also demure enough to wear at night.
