🗺️ 2. Scratch-Off Map
For documenting adventures (and maybe keeping track of where love stories begin). These would also be so fun for a visual tracker of a “reading around the world” challenge.

📚 6. Support their Library Habit
Listen…you could gift your friend a subscription to something like Audible, Kindle Unlimited, Kobo Plus…or you could make sure they are well informed about all the fabulous perks of having a library card and see them be set for life with ebooks and audiobooks while they’re traveling. Then, why not support that habit with a case for their e-reader or a handy tote that showcases their love of the library?
