Collect Your Travels: Tokens To Cherish Forever
Travel is about the stories behind each stop. The Wander Club’s travel tokens are designed to help commemorate every place, big or small, with personalized keepsakes that can easily be carried everywhere. Minimalist in design but rich in meaning, each customizable token is a simple reminder of the journeys that shaped you.
Tokens For Countries, Cities, & Landmarks Around The World
From bucket-list capitals like London to world wonders like the Pyramids of Giza, our continent, country, city, and landmark tokens let you celebrate the iconic stops that make international travel unforgettable. Whether you’re marking a honeymoon in France, a semester abroad, or a backpacking trip across Europe, these tokens turn global memories into something tangible. Each token features a colorful image of your chosen destination on the front, with the option to personalize the back with up to 30 engraved characters (15 characters per line across two lines). It's the perfect space to add initials, travel dates, or a short note that captures a favorite memory, creating a truly personalized gift.
Tokens For U.S. States, National Parks, & Landmarks
Closer to home, The Wander Club offers tokens for all 50 U.S. states (plus D.C. and the Hawaiian islands), including beloved landmarks and national parks. From California’s Yosemite to the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, each token celebrates the natural beauty and cultural significance of the places your loved one has explored. Whether you want to celebrate a cross-country road trip or a weekend getaway with best friends, you can help a loved one build a collection that reflects their journey through America’s most unforgettable spots.
To help keep travels organized and inspired, The Wander Club also offers two limited-edition collector's items: a U.S. States Booklet and a U.S. National Parks Booklet. Each features individual slots (51 for all 50 states plus D.C., and 63 for every national park), making it easy for you or your loved ones to track the places they’re visited and plan their next adventure. Made from premium cardboard with foam interior inserts, these booklets offer a simple, satisfying way to cherish memories and stay motivated to explore every last corner of the country. Tokens are sold separately, so your friends and family can add to their collection over time at their own pace.
Custom Tokens For One-Of-A-Kind Adventures
Not every travel memory fits neatly into a category, and that’s where our custom tokens come in. Whether you want to help a loved one remember a favorite ski trip, cruise, amusement park, concert, marathon, or even a special night at the theater, you can create a keepsake for them that’s 100% theirs. Just like all of The Wander Club’s tokens, each one is handcrafted with hard enamel and tarnish-resistant brass. Plus, with our Lifetime Guarantee, if anything breaks or wears off, we’ll replace it for free!
They’re also lightweight and portable (17mm x 1.25mm), perfect for adding to a keychain or bag. On the back, there’s room to engrave up to 30 characters, so you can personalize it with names, dates, or a small note that means something special. And as always, a portion of every order is donated to charity, so every memory can make a positive impact on a larger scale.
Keep It All Together With Token Holders
Every story needs a place to live, and that’s where The Wander Club’s token holders come in. The Wanderchain is a slim, portable keychain that’s handcrafted from full-grain leather or vegan leatherette and built to last. Choose from a variety of colors like the Brown Wanderchain or the Acorn Wanderchain (Vegan). Both can be monogrammed with up to 3 letters and hold up to 35 tokens (or 70 with two split rings). Lightweight and easy to clip on a backpack or gift to someone you love, it’s a practical keepsake that travels well and looks good doing it.
Does the person you’re buying a gift for prefer to wear their memories? The Silver Necklace and Dainty Necklace are stainless steel options that let them slide on as many tokens as they’d like. With 28" and 24" chains respectively, they’re a great way to keep adventures close to the heart.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Travel gifts for kids can help build family traditions early on. For example, a Wanderchain with engraved tokens is a fun way for little ones to start collecting memories, whether it’s national parks, states, or favorite family vacation spots. Small, durable, and easy to carry, their token collections can grow with them over time. Some families even let kids choose their next destination based on which token they want to earn next, making the journey even more exciting!
You don’t have to break the bank to delight the traveler in your life. Engraved travel tokens are a thoughtful choice. Starting at just $10 per token, they’re an easy way to highlight shared experiences or inside jokes. Paired with a leather Wanderchain or gifted one at a time over the years, they offer long-lasting meaning without a hefty price tag. It’s a smart way to give something with heart.
The best road trip gifts mix practicality and sentiment. A travel token collection that maps out their upcoming route (think states, national parks, or iconic landmarks) adds a sentimental layer to every mile. Attach the tokens to a leather Wanderchain they can clip to their bag or rearview mirror, and it becomes part of the journey itself. For extra charm, wrap it up in our gift-ready packaging.
When shopping for air travel, stick to compact, non-liquid items without sharp edges or batteries. Accessories like engraved travel tokens check all the boxes: They’re lightweight, keychain-friendly, and won’t raise any eyebrows at airport security. That said, it’s always smart to double-check TSA’s current guidelines if you’re gifting anything more technical or electronic.
Personalization turns a gift into a story. Whether you’re engraving a destination, milestone date, or a heartfelt message, it adds meaning that mass-produced items just don’t have. The Wander Club’s token and token holder options make it easy to create a keepsake that reflects someone’s unique travel history, or helps them dream up their next adventure.
For travelers heading out for weeks or months at a time, think lightweight and sentimental. A curated keychain of engraved travel tokens can serve as both a motivator and a comfort, reminding them of all the people waiting to hear their stories back home and marking new chapters along the way. Our durable, easy-to-pack accessories take up virtually no space but carry real meaning, especially when personalized to match their itinerary.
