5 Reasons these make the perfect birthday travel gift

1. Personalised and meaningful

Nothing says “thoughtful” like a gift made just for them. Our engraved tokens can be customised with their favourite destinations, special dates, or meaningful phrases. Some ideas include:

  • "Paris – 30th Birthday"
  • "Australia – Gap Year 2023"
  • "Mexico"

Personalisation turns a beautiful gift into something truly unforgettable.

"The perfect birthday gift for my sister who loves to travel. The engraving was beautifully done, and the quality is amazing." – Ellie T.

2. A keepsake that grows with every journey

Our keyrings are designed to grow as they travel. Start with a few engraved tokens to represent cherished trips, and they can easily add new ones for future adventures. With space for up to 25 tokens (or more with an additional split ring), it’s a gift that evolves with their story.

3. Choose colours that match their style

With 8 stunning colours to choose from, our travel keyrings suit every personality:

  • Black: Timeless and versatile
  • Tan: Perfect for vintage-inspired style
  • Ocean Blue: For those who dream of coastal escapes
  • Pink: A cheerful and playful choice

Pair their favourite colour with personalised tokens for a unique gift they’ll treasure.

4. A sentimental and practical for everyday use

Ditch the generic birthday gifts - our travel keyrings are not only sentimental but also practical. They’re durable enough to endure the wear and tear of travelling the world and stylish enough to carry every day, whether on their keys, bag, or carry-on suitcase.

5. Handmade with love, built to last

At Journeys Made, every gift is handcrafted with care. Our leather keyrings are made from vegetable-tanned leather that ages beautifully, and our stainless steel tokens won’t tarnish or rust. These keepsakes are designed to last a lifetime, just like the memories they celebrate.
