No Scriptural basis for thinking He travelled to "the lands of the Magi".
Maybe they used the gifts to pay the Innkeeper for the use of the stable?
British tradition does say that as a youth, Jesus travelled to Cornwall with Joseph of Arimathea (possibly His uncle). No Scriptural basis, but probably at least as likely as travels to Persia and other places.

No, He didn't go to the land of the Magi, He went to Egypt, and they did probably fund it with those gifts, but who knows for sure. If the Bible doesn't tell us we don't really know.

Jesus never went to the land of the Magi,There came from the East.The Bible gives no mention of the use of the gifts.That is
another thing we must study and figure out for ourselves.

Well since Herod wanted to kill Jesus , he had to get away so i think God provided to the Magi's gifts to supply him to live in Egypt until Herod died. Then , he could come back and continue living.

No, probably his parents used the money from the gifts to supply their needs when they had to travel down to Egypt to avoid King Herod's murderous thugs.
Matthew 2:11 And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. 12 And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed to their own country by another way. 13 Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you, for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." 14 And he rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed to Egypt 15 and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt I called my son."

No.
Much more likely they were used by Joseph to pay for their living expenses in Egypt, where they fled to escape Herod's executioners.
