Looking for a gift for someone who is always off somewhere? You can recognize a traveler by the fact that they have three broken backpacks at home, a bottle covered in stickers from five countries, and socks that are never a matching pair. A good gift for them is not another thing for a drawer, but something they will take with them on their next trip - and carry for years.
We have put together tips by budget: from small gifts under the tree for a few hundred crowns to a backpack that will last through twenty years of travel. We sew all our backpacks and belt bags in Prague and give them a lifetime warranty, so the gift will not be just for one season.
Gifts under CZK 500: small things that really get used
Small gifts under the tree do not have to be useless. Travelers will use these things on their first trip after Christmas.
- Batohiro Crew socks - high socks with reinforced heels and toes in six colors. The safest gift under the tree, because you can never have too many socks.
- Prague Superguide - an English guide to Prague created by Prague locals, without tourist traps. Ideal for international friends planning a visit.
- NANO impregnation and backpack cleaner - for someone who already has a quality backpack and wants it to last. A boring gift that everyone appreciates during the first downpour.
- Flex chest strap - for cyclists and hikers with a heavy backpack.
- Clip-on magnetic reflector - for a backpack, jacket, or dog leash. No batteries needed; it makes you visible in low light.
- Batohiro canvas bag - for shopping or the beach, and it folds into any backpack.
Gifts under CZK 3,000: belt bags, bottles, and clothing
A mid-range budget is ideal for something the recipient will carry every day - and think of you whenever they use it.
- Kai S belt bag - a small crossbody bag for a phone, wallet, and keys that opens like a book. Made from water-resistant CORDURA®, in two colors (black and dark green). Our most frequently purchased gift in-store.
- Sora 2.0 belt bag - the lightest belt bag for running, trips, and festivals. In three colors: Black Knight, Navy Blue, and Forest Green.
- Kinto To Go travel mug - a Japanese stainless-steel coffee cup to take with you that will not leak, even in a backpack. For anyone who never has enough time in the morning.
- Kinto Trail Bottle - with a handle for attaching it to a backpack. For trips and work.
- Oversized hoodie - a soft hoodie for train and plane journeys or relaxing at a cabin. In three colors.
- Fuji T-shirt or another of our designs - sewn and printed in the Czech Republic, in limited editions.
Premium gifts: a backpack for years of travel
If you want to give a gift that will last longer than until next Christmas, give a backpack. We sew all our backpacks by hand in Prague and give them a lifetime warranty - and if something happens after years of use, we repair it in our workshop.
- Minato Premium 6.0 - for frequent flyers. An expandable 20/30/40 l system; at 20 l it meets carry-on dimensions, with a side-access compartment for a 17" laptop. Our best-selling backpack.
- Roku Everyday 2.0 - for commuting around the city and to work. A lightweight roll-top made from recycled ECOPAK™ with a padded compartment for a 16" laptop. In two colors.
- Minato Lite 2.0 - for anyone who wants one backpack for every day and weekend trips. 15-20 l, CORDURA® 1000D, five colors.
- Tenso Traveller 40 l - a backpack and shoulder bag in one for anyone who wants to fly away for a week without a suitcase.
Not sure which one to choose? You can compare them in the articles Minato Premium vs. Minato Lite and Travel backpack for air travel.
When you are not sure what to choose: a gift card
A backpack is a personal thing - color, size, whether they prefer a roll-top or a zip. If you are not sure, give a Batohiro gift card worth CZK 500 to 9,000. The digital version arrives by email immediately after payment, so you can even make it in time for Christmas Eve. The recipient can then choose for themselves - online or by trying the backpacks in-store.
Choose a gift in person at our store
A backpack is best tried on your back. At our store in Žižkov, Prague, we have all models and colors in stock, can advise you based on where the recipient travels, and [TO BE ADDED: wrap the gift? / opening hours in December].
Gifts for travelers by personality type
For frequent flyers: Minato Premium 6.0 or Tenso Traveller, together with a Kai S for documents worn close to the body.
For hikers and day-trippers: Minato Lite 2.0, Kinto Trail Bottle, and a chest strap.
For city commuters: Roku Everyday 2.0 and a Kinto travel mug for their morning coffee.
For runners and cyclists: Sora 2.0 belt bag, a LightStick safety light, and a reflector.
For someone who has everything: socks, impregnation for the backpack they already have, or a gift card.
