It’s difficult to see someone close move abroad, knowing that they are now a whole plane ride away. One way to keep that bond close is through a goodbye gift.
There are gifts for someone setting off round the world, or moving away to one country for work. From homesick candles (that’s our fave) to packable backpacks, these gifts will be appreciated by anyone setting off out of their comfort zone.

#4 Outlinx Smart Stickers
Outlinx uses a mobile app that works with decorative QR smart stickers to allow people to connect digital notes to real world objects. The idea is that people can scan stickers to create notes for their own reference, or use Outlinx to share info with family and friends.
Many of my customers purchase Outlinx stickers to label boxes while moving in order to remember what’s inside. They can take a picture of a box’s contents, or write a list, and easily link it to the sticker. It’s like a digital sticky note or digital bulletin board. We sell the stickers on our website, and also on Amazon for affiliate purposes.
#5 Countries and Concepts: Politics, Geography, Culture
I think the biggest mistake we all make when moving overseas is not having a real grasp of the culture. Sure, we all understand what we have read online but that perspective is often skewed. Politics and culture need to be understood – or learned the hard way.
