If you have a serious traveler in your life you probably know that the only thing that gets them more excited than a plane ticket is something that will make their travel more enjoyable. For that reason the members of travel website, Trippy.com have put together their list of the travel toys they'd like to receive this year. As member Amy Marie from Florida says "...the best gifts to receive would be things that would be useful, wouldn't take up space in my luggage, and would help me travel better."

"I've been eyeing the new GoPro HERO4. They are small, portable and take some of the best pictures I have ever seen. Plus, there is an app for your iPhone where you can hook your phone up to the wifi on the GoPro. Every picture you take is automatically stored on your phone." From Trippy member Valerie Axworthy of Los Angeles, California

Bet you could take some pretty cool pictures of these "Truly Terrifying Bridges" with that!

"I like to bring an AppleTV so I can stream my recent photos from my phone to the TV to recap our day (and of course pull up some Archer on Netflix...).
