What do you get the travel-mad friend or relative in your life for Christmas? First things first, there's always plenty of good gadgets about. If they're gearing up for a road trip an iTrip Auto Pilot allows them to play their iPod through a car stereo – and keep it charged up. Lonely Planet's Big Trip is the perfect place to start planning that extended adventure.

Anyone who needs to rummage in the dark, be they hostelling backpackers or tent-bound adventurers will appreciate a decent head-torch, and the Petzl Tikka LED is one of the best around. For more ideas, trends and destinations to keep you going into next year and beyond, Lonely Planet's Best in Travel is all you need for the gap year or career break.

They'll need pockets to stuff all this in, and few shorts are better than North Face Paramount Surplus. The side pocket will fit a guidebook perfectly and we've got the whole world covered – from New York City to New Zealand and Bali & Lombok to Italy .

If buying for an armchair traveller, The Travel Book gives a Lonely Planet take on every country in the world. Given that you're giving the gift of travel, make sure your loved one can record it all. A Moleskine notebook has been the on-the-road diary of choice for generations of budding travel writers. The Joby Gorilla Pod Tripod will stick to pretty much any surface and save you scrabbling for something to balance your expensive digital camera on.

And given that you've surely given everyone in the room a dose of wanderlust with your gifts, you could always give the gift of travel. Trailfinders vouchers can be redeemed against holidays, flights and hotels booked through the award-winning travel company.
