Gifts For Train Lovers
These are the best train gift ideas for all ages. We’ve included everything from toys to experiences.
A luxury train experience
One of the first things that you might want to think about is a luxury train gift experience. There are many different ones that you could consider. There is the Northern Belle or the Orient Express that offers these sorts of experiences. When looking for train gifts you might find that this could be the ultimate one. Whether you dine on them or even stay the night, it will be an experience not to forget for any train enthusiast.
A steam train experience
Perhaps you might be looking at a steam train experience instead like the Belmond British Pullman. Steam train gifts can be a lot of fun and are one of the ideal gifts for train lovers. Most of these steam train gift experiences will take place on a vintage steam train with a short journey across the British countryside, and many get to experience that feeling of the locomotive busting along the steam train tracks.
Have a look at this Steam Train And Afternoon Tea For Two with Menkind*. This would make a perfect gift for that train lover in your life.
Train station and train memorabilia
Memorabilia can be one of the best gifts for train lovers. It is a piece of history and many like to collect these things. Whether it is old train station signs or specific parts and elements of train travel or a station, they can make great gifts if they are interested in that sort of thing. You could find things like these at antique fairs. Check online to find your local ones.
Personalised themed gifts
There is something about a personalised gift that anyone loves, and if you are looking for a gift any train enthusiast would love, then this could be the one for you. Here are a couple of suggestions.
A mug
A personalised train ticket mug could be a great option to consider. You can have a vintage ticket with their name and destination on it, or stick with the modern traditional orange coloured ticket with their favourite or local station on it and their name. This Train Driver Mug* would make a great gift for someone who loves trains.
A railway print
You could have a print made up of a ticket with the same details we have suggested for a personalised mug. Include the station and its name.
A train station sign
Lastly, when looking for gifts for train lovers you might be wanting to find something a little more unique, and a train station sign with their name on it could be the one to consider. It would look vintage but could include their surname.
Train sets
Many people love to collect trains and may have even built their own train sets. So a train set could be the ideal gift. You can get plenty of ideas online but there is a good range of train sets that are both ideal for adults and children. Here are a couple of model railway ideas I have found online:
