You are here because you have a little traveler on your hands. A kid who took an interest and liking to observing and wanting to explore the world around them. There is no better way to feed that interest than to give them gifts that will allow them to explore from the comfort of their home or enhance their travel experience. Whatever it is, you will be sure to find it on this list of Must-Have Gifts for Little Travelers.
*BuddyPhones Inflight
These are not your average headphones. Not only do they come in fun colors, but they are made especially for children, with three volume settings at safe decibel levels, along with soft and cushiony ear pads. Our daughter brings hers with her everywhere we go. Since the headphones can fold into a smaller, more compact size, it makes it easier for the little ones to carry, especially when placed in the drawstring carry case. You know they (at least mine doesn’t) like to carry anything!
BuddyPhones Inflight is available in four bright colors: Purple, green, blue and pink. It retails for $49.95 on buddyphones.com Get 20% off with code 20PT4BLG
