The 55 Best Gifts for Travel Lovers in 2024

Peruse these practical and thoughtful gift ideas for every traveler on your list.

Travel + Leisure / Kristin Kempa

Shopping for your travel-loving friends and family can be tricky — after all, you’ll want to ensure you’re picking up something practical, but you also don’t want to gift them something they already have. It’s also worth considering that frequent travelers, especially digital nomads, tend to live a more minimalist life. This means practical gear will reign supreme over more frivolous items.

You’ll also want to take into account the kind of travel your favorite globetrotters or influencers are into. City explorers or luxury-leaning travelers, for example, probably won’t want the same gear as someone who spends their PTO hiking and trekking through the wilderness.

The following options were hand-picked by our team to suit every type of traveler and vacationer on your list. We’ve extensively researched (or personally tested) all of the following gifts to ensure your purchase will make a thoughtful and genuinely practical addition to your loved one’s travels. Here are the best gifts travelers will love — for all budgets and needs.

Paravel Passport Case

If your favorite travelers don’t already have a high-quality passport cover, you might want to consider the Paravel Cabana Passport Case. The elegant leather case can even be personalized with a hand-painted monogram or custom graphic to add another layer of elegance. We also like that this option has an abundance of pockets and card slots to make organization easier.

Boka Fresh on the Go

The Boka Fresh on the Go set was made for travelers who avoid checking a bag at all costs. It includes everything they’ll need to maintain good oral hygiene while on the go. The toothpaste is TSA-approved and the mouthwash — this is the best part — comes in the form of chewable tablets, so it won’t even count toward their liquid quota.

Jamaica Vibes

Jamaica Vibes is one of the latest in the Assouline coffee table book family — and possibly one of the most fun options to date. The stunning visual-first book will allow travelers to reminisce about any time spent in Jamaica (or dream about future trips) while the cover and spine of the book will add a dose of elegant and trendy style to coffee tables and bookshelves.

Contiki Tour

You can’t go wrong with the gift of travel itself. If you’re looking for a big-ticket experience gift for a younger traveler in your life, look no further than a Contiki tour. The pre-packaged trips will take them all over the world with like-minded young people and range from exploring the Garden Route in South Africa to road-tripping through the Balkans.

Epicka Universal Travel Adapter

Sure, a travel adapter might not immediately come off as the most exciting gift. But any traveler will tell you just how valuable a reliable one really is. The Epicka Universal Travel Adapter is the best travel adapter in our book; it works in more than 150 countries and it’s super compact and easy to pack thanks to the modular design. Plus, you can always pair it with a flashier item like a travel-themed phone case.

SereneLife Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board

The SereneLife Stand-up Paddle Board is an excellent option for anyone who wants to bring the spirit of resort life home. We tested out a variety of inflatable paddle boards and our team agrees that this is the best board on the market thanks to the lightweight, portable design and impressive stability in the water.

LARQ Bottle PureVis

The Larq Self-cleaning Water Bottle is a true game changer for all kinds of travelers. The smart bottle uses UV technology to not just disinfect itself but also to purify the water you’re drinking. This means the jetsetter you’re shopping for will be able to comfortably drink from most water sources without worrying about getting sick.

Tommy Bahama Backpack Beach Chair

The Tommy Bahama Backpack Beach Chair is simply the best beach chair around — and it makes a great gift for road-trippers and camping enthusiasts alike. It’s super easy to transport thanks to the folding backpack design, and is surprisingly comfortable due to the adjustable head pillow and elongated seat. We also like that the frame is rust-proof, meaning it’s perfect for using at the beach or in the rain.

Intelligent Change Inc. The Five Minute Journal

Sometimes, it can be hard to live in the moment and absorb all the magic that is travel — but a gratitude journal can help ensure your globetrotter stays centered on the go. The Five Minute Journal takes, as advertised, takes just five minutes of a traveler’s time; but jotting down their thoughts for those few minutes will help them remember and appreciate the most exciting parts of their day while traveling or at home.

Andobil Car Phone Holder Mount

The best car phone holder mount in our book is the Andobil Car Phone Holder Mount, and it’ll make a great gift for road trippers and car commuters. It’s super easy to install and, once set up, is incredibly stable and easy to use while on the go. There’s also space to plug in a charger so drivers won’t have to mess around with their phone just to get some juice.

Puffer Hug 418 Scarf

Think of the Puffer Hug 418 Scarf as a stylish and equally practical alternative to the fishing vest. Hear us out: this cozy accessory serves as a regular scarf but also has tons of pockets for things like a smartphone or passport. It’s great for wearing to the airport when you need to have documents at the ready but is equally sensible for wearing to explore a new city.

Slip Silk Skinny Scrunchies

The Slip Pure Silk 4-pack Skinny Scrunchies is a fail-safe gift for travelers who want to care for their hair while they're away. The silk design is gentle on the hair and is designed to not pull or cause breakage, even with regular use. We also really like the elegant patterns and colors of the scrunchies, which can easily double as cute arm candy among a stack of bracelets.

Vinarmour Travel Wine Carrier

Wine-loving travelers will flip for the Vinarmour Travel Wine Carrier. This stunning carrier is designed to transport a bottle of wine without any risk of breakage. It features sufficient padding to keep the bottle safe while in transit, but it’s also made from leak-proof material — so even if the bottle was already damaged and cracks while in cargo, it won’t spill on the rest of your luggage.

The Harmonist Travel Coffret

The Harmonist Travel Coffret is a game-changer when it comes to feeling fresh and relaxed in transit. The set of three heavily-concentrated perfumes were designed to foster a sense of calmness and relaxation thanks to the various notes, including patchouli, pomelo, Bulgarian rose, and vanilla. It also comes with a striking travel case to keep the vials safe in transit.

Twelve South AirFly Pro

The Twelve South AirFly Pro is a T+L editor favorite and such an easy way to upgrade the economy experience. This handy little device allows travelers to use their own Bluetooth headphones or earbuds with the inflight entertainment system rather than having to use the sub-par freebies provided by the airline. The AirFly is super easy to use as well — all you have to do is plug it into the headphone jack on the plane and pair it with your headphones.

Four Seasons Velvet Slippers

There’s something inherently luxurious about slipping into a pair of hotel slippers upon check in — and the Four Seasons Velvet Slippers amplify that feeling and bring it home. These stunning slippers are made in Italy from sleek velvet and cotton with the Four Seasons logo embroidered on the top. The elastic back and rubber sole make them appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use.

Birdie Personal Safety Alarm

Here’s one for the solo women travelers on your list. The She's Birdie Personal Safety Alarm is designed to fit incognito in her handbag or pocket — but if she finds herself in any kind of trouble, it’s easy to grab and sound the alarm to draw attention and deter an attack. All she has to do is pull off the top tab to activate the 130-decibel siren and flashing strobe light.

Dagne Dover Tech Organizer

Nobody thinks they need a tech organizer while traveling, but when you take into account all the cables and adapters required to make international travel smooth, having a specific spot to keep everything untangled is major. The Dagne Dover Arlo Tech Organizer is small enough to pop into a carry-on but has plenty of interior space to store everything a traveler needs.

Lindsay Albanese Toptote Leather Hat Holder

Traveling with a cute hat seems like a great idea, but in practice it can be a bit of a pain. The Lindsay Albanese Toptote Leather Hat Holder allows travelers to bring along a wide-brim hat without having to wear it the entire commute or risking it getting crushed in a suitcase. The clip attaches to the brim of a hat and the built-in carabiner lets you pop it onto a handbag or carry-on for a hands-free solution.

Diptyque Travel Cleansing & Moisturizing Set

This cleansing and moisturizing set will be a welcome addition to any routine whether at home or on the go. The decadent set includes both rinse-free and regular hand wash as well as a moisturizing hand lotion — all of which smell just like your favorite luxury hotel bath products. We also like that this option comes with a cute carrying case that makes it easy to store the items in a handbag or carry-on.

Vasco V4 Language Translator Device

World travelers always have a few favorite travel products they swear by. For traveling abroad, the Vasco V4 Language Translator Device makes the experience so much easier — not just on the traveler but on the locals as well. This genius device provides instant voice translation in 108 languages and comes with free lifetime internet to ensure it’ll always be functional anywhere in the world. The instant translations mean your traveling pal can have real-time conversations with people across the globe, even if there’s no common spoken language.

Pokoloko Harem Towel

The Pokoloko Harem Towel is handcrafted using 100 percent Turkish cotton by artisans in Turkey — and it’s the perfect beach bag essential. It’s very lightweight and rolls down much smaller than the average towel. However, it’s also incredibly absorbent and quick-drying, so travelers can pop it back into their beach bag at the end of the day without worrying about lugging home a soggy towel.

lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L

It’s called the Everywhere Belt Bag for a reason! This Lululemon staple has quickly become a cult classic for travelers (it has quite literally been everywhere this year). The adjustable belt bag is super convenient for everything from hiking to exploring cities hands-free, and the durable nylon material means you won’t have to worry about potential spillage or getting stuck in the rain (it’ll wipe clean with a bit of water).

Longchamp Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag

Regular travelers know the importance of throwing a decent-sized tote into their luggage. After all, you never know when you’ll need the extra bit of space while on the road. The Longchamp Le Pliage Filet L Mesh Bag offers a sophisticated take on the humble mesh tote complete with a snap closure and both a top handle and shoulder strap for added versatility.

Conair Travel Garment Dual Voltage Steamer

The Conair Power Steam Handheld Travel Garment Steamer makes looking and feeling put together on the road a snap. The compact steamer is small enough to slip into a carry-on bag and pull out as needed while traveling. It boasts a 35-second heat-up time so the traveler in your life can power away wrinkles and creases in no time at all.

YETI Roadie 24 Cooler

The Yeti Roadie 24 Hard Cooler will be well received by the road trip warriors and beach bums on your list. Not only is it super aesthetically pleasing, but it can also actually fit an incredible amount in such a compact space — we’re talking up to 33 cans, 26 pounds of ice, and even full-sized bottles of wine.

Loop Quiet Ear Plugs

You don’t quite realize how high-quality the Loop Quiet earplugs are until you really need them. The surprisingly stylish earplugs were designed to be comfortable while sleeping and will serve as a major blessing the next time your gift recipient has been put in a hotel room next to a crying baby or bachelorette party.

Paravel Mini Fold-up Backpack

The Paravel Mini Fold-Up Backpack earned the top spot in our books as the best mini backpack of 2024 , and it’s easy to see why. It’s easy to fit all the essentials — think a tablet, a wallet, sunscreen, and shoes — but it also folds down into the size of a wallet when not in use, which makes it great for tucking into a carry-on bag in case of emergencies. We also love that this bag has the option to be monogrammed, making your gift all the more thoughtful.

Béis The Cosmetic Case

We love Béis for its cheeky and innovative take on travel accessories — and the Cosmetic Case in particular is one of our top picks of the year for best makeup cases . We love that this option is highly durable but still elegant in design and also has a generous-sized built-in mirror that makes it easy to do makeup or skincare while on the go. It’s also worth noting that this case is available in eight different colorways, so you can choose one that’ll best suit their specific style.

Paravel Aviator Carry-on Plus

If the traveler on your list is in need of a new carry-on, you’ll want to consider the Paravel Aviator Carry-on Plus. This innovative carry-on bag earned top marks in our books as the best piece of luxury luggage thanks to its super sturdy build and variety of organization options within the luggage. It’s also worth noting that all carriers are ethically produced — which makes this a great gift for conscious travelers as well.

Baggu Nylon Crescent Bag

We love a crossbody bag for travel — and the Baggu Nylon Crest Bag is definitely the top crossbody bag of the year in our books. We love just how versatile this bag is and how easily it can be packed into a suitcase without adding any bulk or weight. The crossbody bag is also highly durable and even machine washable, which is a huge perk for travelers who don’t want to have to baby their accessories while on the go.

Awake Caffeinated Chocolate Energy Bar

Frequent flyers know the perils of trying to get a good cup of coffee on an airplane or in an airport — which is why the Awake Caffeinated Chocolate Energy Bites are such a game changer for caffeine-loving travelers. The tasty chocolate bites have the caffeine equivalent of half a cup of coffee, and also offer a sweet sugar kick that’ll help them get through everything from red-eye flights to long layovers.

Nitecore MT21C Flashlight

You might not immediately think of a flashlight as a standout gift for a traveler — but a rechargeable flashlight is a packing essential for travelers who do any kind of adventure or outdoor traveling. The Nitecore MT21C Flashlight is one T+L editors swear by thanks to its compact size, impressive brightness, and longevity (it has a maximum output of 1000 lumens and a peak beam distance of 201 yards). It’s also adjustable by 90 degrees which can be highly practical for getting into tight spaces.

Moon Dissolving Whitening Strips

There’s something about indulging in a self-care routine while flying that can make an economy seat feel like you’re sitting in first class — and what could be more luxurious than whitening your teeth while on the go? The MOON Teeth Whitening Strips were designed to be used while traveling, the strips work the same as your classic Crest variety, but all you have to do is stick them on and wait for them to dissolve — no sink or rinsing required.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet

Sure — most airplanes have built-in in-flight entertainment, but boy does it suck when you board a flight only to realize there’s no screen on the seat back. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet will let them download all their favorite shows and movies to watch on the flight. It’s also great for reading e-books or checking into social media while in transit.

Aer Travel Weekender

The Aer Travel Weekender is our favorite carry-on duffel bag right now thanks to its versatility and durable design. We like that this bag can easily be used as a top-handle tote, but that it also has a built-in strap that makes it easy to use as a duffel bag while on the go. It’s worth noting that the bag also has a 16-inch padded laptop sleeve, which means they’ll be able to keep their laptop or tablet safe and secure while traveling.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3

A portable speaker makes a great addition to any traveler’s packing list. Not only does it ensure the vibes will be good no matter where they find themselves, it’s also a great tool for playing white noise and making it easier to fall asleep in unfamiliar places. We highly recommend the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3; this one is super easy to connect to any phone and is both waterproof and dustproof — so they won’t have to be precious with it while traveling.

nCamp Café Portable Coffee Maker

If you’ve got a coffee lover on your list, the nCamp Café Portable Coffee Maker is going to be a game changer in terms of the quality of their morning joe. This compact coffee maker is especially great to bring on camping trips because it crafts espresso-style coffee without any power source. The only thing they’ll need is a hot water source and they’ll have cafe-quality brew wherever they go (which, let’s be honest, will also save them a ton of money on morning coffee).

Nintendo Switch

Travel can be endlessly thrilling and entertaining — but there’s a lot of downtime that comes with it as well. A Nintendo Switch is going to make a great gift for the gamers on your list (or those traveling with little ones). The beauty of the Switch is that they’ll be able to use it as a handheld to pass the time at airports or train stations, but it can also be set up television-style to play party games at the hotel room or Airbnb.

Infinity Pillow Travel Pillow

Unless you’re lucky enough to get a miraculous upgrade to business class, sleeping on a plane can be a struggle. That’s where the Infinity Pillow Travel Pillow comes in. This innovative pillow was designed with neck support and can be adapted to work whether they’re in the window, aisle, or even the middle seat.  It’s also temperature regulating, so it won’t make them sweaty mid-flight, and doubles as an eye mask.

Call You When I Land: A Memoir

Travel writer and author Nikki Vargas spares no detail in her evocative memoir Call You When I Land , which follows Vargas as she relentlessly pursues her dream career, and in turn, dream lifestyle. The juicy travelogue is ideal for fans of Eat Pray Love or What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding . Oh — and there’s a love story and murder mystery baked into it as well. Can you say beach read?

Nimble Champ Portable Charger

It doesn’t matter how streamlined their travel is — every traveler struggles with having juice for all their devices while on the go. Sometimes it’s a lack of adequate adapters, and sometimes it’s long excursions with no charging outlet in sight. Either way, a decent portable charger just makes things easier. We love the Nimble Champ Portable Charger in particular. It’s compact and durable, but it’s also eco-friendly having been crafted in part from recycled water bottles.

Slip Lovely Lashes Contour Sleep Mask

Traveling without a sleep mask sucks — especially if you’re sensitive to light or plan to sleep on the plane. The Slip Lovely Lashes Contour Sleep Mask in particular is an awesome gift and great alternative to the classic eye mask model. It’s crafted from real silk, so it won’t pull or mess up their hair. It also has a contoured eye area so it won’t squish their eyes or lashes, even if they use it all night long.

Away The Insider Packing Cubes

Away The Insider Packing Cubes are a game changer for travelers who want to pack light and travelers who like to pack more than they might need. For starers, these packing cubes allow them to organize their clothing by categories, which allows them to have a better grasp on exactly what they have. The cubes also gently compress clothing which makes it easy to fit everything into a carry-on or smaller-sized suitcase as needed.

Skyborne iTravel Folio 4.0

Staying organized and on the ball on travel days makes the whole experience go much smoother — and that’s why we love the Skyborne iTravel Folio 4.0. This sleek travel wallet is designed to fit all their travel documents (including passport, smartphone, AirPods, and more) in one stylish zippered wallet. It also has built-in charging capabilities to keep their electronics juiced up, no matter where they are.

Rewined Bordeaux Candle

If they’re always waxing poetic about their trip to wine country, why not gift them an olfactory memory of their time? The Bordeaux Candle by Rewined comes as an homage to the French countryside with notes of Maritime Pine, Crushed Herbs, and Cypress that are designed to transport them right back to the vineyards of Bordeaux. Rewined’s candles are also beautifully made and will look just as good as they smell on a coffee table or kitchen counter.

Pocket Tripod Universal Kit

Let’s be honest: no matter how cool we think we are, everyone wants to get some good photos to share on social media (or to look back on) while traveling. The Pocket Tripod Universal Kit is a super compact and discreet alternative to the larger tripods on the market. It’s about the size of a credit card and is easy to pop onto a smartphone for an instant tripod, wherever they find themselves.

Foreo Luna Mini 2 Facial Cleansing Brush

Traveling can wreak some serious havoc on the skin — which is why skincare-loving travelers (and really anyone who likes a clean face!) will flip for the FOREO LUNA Mini. This innovative skincare tool uses T-sonic pulsations to clean the skin, brushing away any traces of makeup, dirt, or acne-causing bacteria that might be lurking on their face after a long flight or day of exploration.

Audible Membership

If you’re shopping for a traveler who is big on podcasts or listening to audio books while on the go, a subscription to Audible is pretty much a no-brainer. This subscription will get them one free audiobook per month and allow them to listen to all kinds of different books at their own pace while traveling. It’s also a great alternative to packing various books or having to remember an e-reader; all their audiobooks will be accessible right on their smartphone or tablet!

The Essential Guide to Turkish Wine

The Essential Guide to Turkish Wine by wine writer and author Andrea Lemieux is the only English-language anthology you’ll find sharing the ins and outs of Turkish wine. Turkey is one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, and Lemieux’s comprehensive guide will inspire them to book a trip to the wine trail of Turkey thanks to her captivating (and comprehensive) descriptions and gorgeous illustrations and visuals to match.

Riemot Luggage Cup Holder

It would be nice to have another set of hands when rolling through the airport, wouldn’t it? Well, that’s where the Riemot Luggage Travel Cup Holder comes in. This handy attachment can fit onto any rolling suitcase or carry-on. It not only accommodates a beverage, but also easily fits a wallet or passport and most smartphones. There’s nothing better than being hands-free without having to dig through a handbag or backpack to get out the essentials.

BasicConcepts Airplane Foot Hammock

Sure — it might look a little cheesy at first glance… but they will be incredibly grateful for this whimsical gift when they’re on hour five of their next red-eye flight. The Basic Concepts Airplane Foot Hammock attaches underneath the tray table, providing them with instant relief of aches and pains that might crop up after sitting upright for hours on end. It can adjust to three different positions as well, so they’ll be able to continue to change their position throughout the flight for added comfort.

Steamline Luggage The Palm Cosmetics Set

Frequent flyers are always on the hunt for streamlined packing accessories — and this cosmetics set from Steamline Luggage is a standout option. It ranks number one in our best travel pouch of 2024 thanks to its charming tropical-inspired prints and the fact that the pouches are crafted from recycled water bottles. The pouches can easily fit inside of one another when not in use and lay flat, which makes them easy to pack and store.

1,000 Places to See Before You Die

1,000 Places to See Before You Die is one of our favorite travel-focused reference books. The anthology is a veritable bucket list that is just as good for armchair travel as it is for reference when planning a trip. We also love flipping through this book to reflect on all the places we’ve been — the intriguing descriptions and photography evoke memories while also seeing even the most popular tourist destinations and monuments in a refreshing new light.

Native Union Universal Sling

The Native Union Universal Sling is designed to pop onto smartphones like a phone case — but it comes with a built-in strap that allows travelers to wear their phone like a crossbody bag or around their neck like a lanyard. It’s available in a variety of colorways and is made from recycled material for a more sustainable approach. It’s perfect for travel as it’s more secure than throwing a phone in a pocket or bag as well.

I’m no expert, so I reached out to one of my favorite ladies (my sister)—who is a world traveler—and who offered me the low-down on some of the best travel gifts for women.

Favorite Travel Gifts for Her

Bluffworks trevi dress.

The Bluffworks Trevi Dress just might be the most stylish travel gift to give your fashion-forward female friend. Ideal for short or long-term trips, the dress is made with odor-wicking and wrinkle-resistant fabric, so it’s easy to toss in your luggage.

And unlike most dresses, the Trevi has six different built-in pockets for your phone, passport, wallet, or anything else she’ll need for her trip. If she loves to travel but also wants to look smart, then the Trevi dress is a must-have in her closet.

Vessi Travel Shoes

All women should have a durable pair of sneakers that are comfortable and stylish. If she’s always complaining about sore feet or blisters, then get her Vessi Travel Shoes. These lightweight knit kicks are great travel gifts for everyday wear.

Best of all, the woven fabric in all Vessi footwear is completely waterproof. Which means she’ll be prepared to endure whatever the weather report throws at her. Whether she’s exploring new cities or hitting up the hiking trail, she’ll have the perfect travel shoes to match. Don’t believe me? Read my full Vessi shoes review!

Peak Design Everyday Tote

Ideal for photographers, the Peak Design Everyday Tote will keep her camera, lenses, and any other accessories or equipment organized wherever she goes.

However, the versatility of these tote bags is why it tops our list as one of the best travel gifts for her. Not only in terms of internal organization, but how it can be styled, too. She can wear it as a tote, a cross-body messenger bag, or even a normal handbag.

And unlike most camera bags, this stealthy tote is low-profile and perfect for everyday use.

LARQ Self-Cleaning Water Bottle

This is easily one of our all-time favorite gifts for travelers. The LARQ Self-Cleaning water bottle is one of the most advanced water purification systems in the world which makes it perfect for travel to far off destinations (or right here at home). Its UV-C light neutralizes 99.9999% of viruses and bacteria, including Salmonella and E. coli.

She’ll get great tasting water, AND she’ll be helping out the environment by ditching single-use plastics in the process. Win, win!

For more information about this water bottle, check out our full LARQ Bottle review .

Tinggly Superwoman Travel Gift Card

Is she a superwoman? (The answer is obviously “YES!”) This Tinggly Superwoman gift box offers the gift of travel, whether she’s an adventurous traveler, a curious soul, or just someone looking to try something new.

With this gift, she’ll be able to choose her next big adventure from 850+ experiences in over 100 countries. This gift never expires, so she can travel whenever she’s ready (and there’s an option to add another person, in case you feel like joining).

There is literally something for everyone here: a canoe trip in Quebec, a perfume-making workshop in France, a floating market tour in Thailand, wine tasting in Napa. You name it, you’ll find it. The only real challenge here will be trying to narrow down all the options! But hey, that’s a good problem to have.

Leatherology Travel Necessities Gift Set

This sophisticated Leatherology Travel Necessities Gift Set comes with a passport holder (with a space to hold tickets), an accessories pouch for all her tech accessories, and a rectangular luggage tag.

Leatherology’s products are made with their signature fine-grain leather, and you can even personalize it with her name. There are six colors in total.

Cabeau Evolution S3 Neck Pillow

People with travel pillows on planes are always the envy of every other passenger. Why not let her be that person?

The Cabeau Evolution S3 Travel Pillow  is the best neck pillow I’ve used, period. That’s why I’m claiming it as the best travel gift for women who travel around the world.

With front and side supports, and the ability to attach it to your headrest, she’ll never wake up during a flight with a permanently crippled neck. It might not seem like much but it’ll revolutionize her travel.

Tile Bluetooth Tracking Device

Not to imply that she’s apt to lose things—but it’s every traveler’s worst fear. The  Tile Pro  attaches to pretty much any item (keys…even a dog’s collar!) or  the slim version  slides into a wallet or passport.

If the woman in your life seems to misplace her valuable items, then this is one of the best travel gifts you could get her.

Integrated Bluetooth allows her to ring her Tile directly from her smartphone. She can locate the last place she had it, or god-forbid, track it down (completely anonymously!) when it passes within range of anyone else in the Tile community. It’s handy during travel on the road or at home.

08left Airport Prints and Posters - Custom Wall Art

For every traveler, there are some special places that stay with us forever. Give her  custom art from 08left  or a set of all her favorite cities or airport codes to keep those travel memories alive every day. These posters will always be reminders for her travel experience.

Travel Gifts for Her Under $50

Harber london leather earphone cord wrap case.

This Leather Earphone Case is one of the best gifts I’ve found this year.

This stylish little organizer is simple and will make it much easier for her to keep her earphones tangle-free. It can also protect her earbuds and prevent damage. As a bonus, it is made with high-quality genuine leather for a bit of classy style.

No more pulling a tangled web of cords out of her pocket or purse! This also makes a fantastic little stocking stuffer.

Aesop Departure Kit

For any lady with a carefully planned out skincare routine, the Aesop Departure Kit should be at the top of their wishlist.

This little kit of luxury travel-sized products covers it all: moisturizer, lip balm, mouthwash, a hydrating face mask, and more.

With all-natural ingredients and incredibly simple-but-stated packaging, this kit is a thoughtful luxury gift…especially for those long-haul flights of the future.

Ouai Anti Frizz Hair Sheets

If frizzy hair is an issue, I promise that these incredibly handy Ouai Anti Frizz Hair Sheets will become her absolute travel must-have.

Think dryer sheets, but for her hair: all she has to do is swipe the sheet down through her hair, and voila! No more static or wild frizz.

They’re easy to pack and come in sizes small enough to tuck into a purse or bag, so quick fixes while in transit are no longer a problem. Plus they’re good for all hair types, from straight to coiled.

Speakeasy Hidden Pocket Travel Scarf

Who knew travel safety could look this good? Speakeasy Hidden Pocket Travel Scarfs make a great gift for travelers because they protect passports and other valuables in the most stylish way possible. They securely store chapsticks, ID cards, house keys, and other small items with hidden, self-locking zippers.

Choose between dozens of colors and patterns to coordinate with any outfit. Speakeasy Travel Scarves come in both lightweight fabrics for summertime or heavy, cozy fabrics for colder weather. For a woman who loves to travel, look no further than these cozy and stealthy gifts!

Lightning USB Cable Tassel

She’ll never have to hunt for her travel charger again or wish she hadn’t checked it in her luggage. With  this decorative tassel , she’s ready to go at the next charging station she comes across.

These small gifts will work just like her normal smartphone charger. But they clip to a purse or keychain so she’ll always have it with her. They make perfect gifts for people who are always misplacing their cords!

Anker PowerCore Slim High Capacity Power Bank

Power banks are lifesavers for people who love to travel. That bus with free WiFi isn’t going to be much fun if your smartphone dies two hours into the journey.

Help her stay fully charged at all times by treating her to an ultra-slim  power bank from Anker . With a high-speed charging system, it provides enough juice to charge her smartphone over two times! And, it’s the perfect size for a stocking stuffer—small enough to fit in her purse or the outside pocket of her luggage.

Aria Travel Kit

The Aria Travel Kit is a small vegan-leather pouch filled with quality, hand-picked products that will easily fit inside her carry-on. These all-natural products include deodorant, solid perfume, lip balm, face and body moisturizer, earplugs, disposable face masks, a pen, a bamboo toothbrush, and more.

Silken Pure Sleep Mask

The Silken Pure Sleep Mask might be the most luxurious sleep mask on the market! It’s made from 100% pure organic silk, making for an ultra-soft material that will actually improve her natural skin hydration and overall health. If she has trouble sleeping on flights (or even in her own bed), she’ll be grateful for this piece of eye candy.

The masks also come in a number of chic colors, like gold and black. It’s one of my favorite ideas on this list.

Carry-On Cocktail Kit

Is there a better experience than concocting a bespoke cocktail than 30,000 ft in the air?  These little pouches of boozy goodness  are delicious gifts, and allow her to whip up two cocktails wherever she is. One for her and one for you. Or both for her.

All she needs is a glass and the requisite alcohol. You can’t go wrong with one of these gifts!

Quip Toothbrush Set

A toothbrush might be an odd travel gift, but oral hygiene is sometimes hard to maintain on the road. It’s great for travel, as the last thing you want on the road is a cavity!

The Quip toothbrush  has been expertly designed with the right sized bristles and perfect level of vibration to make your teeth gleam. The charger is slim-line and the toothbrush is equipped with a timer so you know when you’re done.

BaByliss Pro Travel Dryer

There’s nothing worse than trying to style hair using an old hotel blow dryer. Thanks to the BaBylissPro Travel Dryer , women no longer have to suffer from wet, frizzy hair when traveling! It can be tucked into any purse or suitcase with it’s sleek, compact design and folding handle.

And unlike most travel hairdryers, the BaBylissPro Travel Dryer uses tourmaline titanium technology that leaves hair shiny and frizz-free in just a fraction of the time. This is the perfect travel gift if she wants healthy, happy, and clean hair!

Travel Gift Ideas Under $100

Kindle paperwhite.

If she loves to read, then this is just the thing for her. The Kindle Paperwhite  can easily slide into a purse or even a back pocket. It’s super lightweight and she’ll have more access to more books than she could ever read.

Plus, the ability to easily export notes and highlights to email means she can discretely bring her guidebook along without looking like a tourist. That’s why this is one of the best gifts for travelers. Cute covers also make for great gifts!

Bucketfeet World Map Shoes

Let her show her love of travel on her feet! Bucketfeet collaborates with artists worldwide to design a constantly rotating set of  limited edition shoes . For the lady who loves to travel in comfort and style, these shoes are the perfect gift.

An artist and backpacker collaborated to create this unique, global brand and this pair shows a true sense of wanderlust…reminding us of everything to explore and all the conversations to be had worldwide. And, she’ll be able to show off all the countries she has ever visited.

JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Believe it or not,  this little speaker makes a great gift for travelers .  They’re waterproof, shockproof, and strap on to pretty much anything (it even fits perfectly in a cup holder or backpack water bottle holder), and lasts up to 12 hours—all while providing killer sound.

There are a lot of bluetooth speakers on the market, but this is the best one if you’re looking for travel gift ideas.

23andMe Ancestry Kit

Is she curious to know a little bit more about who she is? Who isn’t? The  23andMe Ancestry Test  will tell her which countries her ancestors lived more than half a millennium ago!

The ancestry test makes really unique gifts for travelers, especially if they’re interested in their heritage and might even be interested in tracing their family’s footsteps. To take it a step further,  upgrade her kit to include a full health report !

Best Travel Gift Ideas for Beauty & Wellness

Cirrhus no. 2 travel steamer.

Here’s a goodie for business travelers/fashionistas: the portable Cirrhus No. 2 Travel Steamer . It’s the most perfect way to keep garments wrinkle-free and fresh.

It folds up into a neat little package that will even fit in your carry-on (without water, of course). It’s particularly useful for her most delicate fabrics, like silk or cashmere.

Manduka eKO SuperLite Travel Yoga Mat

For yogi travel lovers, this is one of the best gift ideas you could get for the traveler in your life. She’ll absolutely love this Manduka eKO SuperLite Travel Yoga Mat .

It has tons of grip, weighs as light as a feather, and is only 1.5mm thick. It rolls up easily like a regular yoga mat, but it can also fold up in a neat little package to toss in a carry-on or suitcase—it’s super easy to pack. She’ll be able to take her yoga or workout practice with her wherever her travels take her.

Serene House Travel Sized Essential Oil Diffuser

Now she can take her aromatherapy on the road with her thanks to the Serene House Travel Size Essential Oil Diffuser .

Just a few drops of essential oils will bring well-being and serenity into her space. And the reason this is one of the best travel gifts for women is that it’s small enough to fit in her carry-on!

Kiehl’s Normal Skin Starter Kit

Any woman who loves to travel should be acquainted with the annoyance that is liquids. It can be a hassle because you need them on the plane, but you can’t take them in your carry-on. This means pouring a splash of everything you need into tiny little containers just for the journey.

The  Kiehl’s Normal Skin Starter Kit  has travel-sized bottles and one of the few travel gifts for her that’ll make life a lot easier. All of the toiletries are already packaged in 100ml containers.

She’ll never have to rummage through her luggage for her liquids, making airport security a breeze from here on out.

Trish McEvoy Makeup Planner

One of our favorite travel gifts for the over-packer with way too many products is  Trish McEvoy’s makeup planner . Smaller than the size of packing cubes (and certainly small enough to fit in her packing cubes), these planners will keep her brushes and palettes organized.

Individual “wardrobing” pages that she can customize with her favorite products snap into this luxurious, petite planner and eliminates the need for lots of individual cases for each of her favorite products.

Beauty by Earth Cooling After Sun Care Spray

Is she a sun goddess traveler? If so, she will absolutely thank you for this all-natural travel-sized After Sun Care Spray .

It minimizes inflammation and pain after spending too much time in the sun thanks to its cooling aloe, peppermint, and chamomile ingredients—it’s like instant relief in a bottle.

Furthermore, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and made completely without any unnatural preservatives.

Adventure Travel Gifts for Her

Looking for more adventure travel gifts? Take a look at our list of best gifts for hikers and campers .

Arc’teryx Covert Cardigan

We love a good understated cardigan—especially when that cardigan comes from one of our favorite brands, Arc’teryx. The Covert Cardigan has modern sweater styling with clean lines but lots of advanced design features, like breathable materials that help to regulate temperature.

It’s the perfect fall jacket that can be worn while out for an evening walk or while running errands around town. Made with Alpenex II™ heathered fleece, she’ll stay toasty and warm no matter where she is

YETI Rambler

With a YETI Rambler , she’ll never have to drink disgusting cold coffee again! Made from rust-free stainless steel, the YETI will keep her hot drinks hot and her cold drinks cold for hours.

This is one of those gifts that she can take with her to work, on a road trip, a flight around the world, or up the mountain.

The bottle comes in almost a dozen colors, so you can pick the best one that matches her style. It’s one of our favorite travel gifts for her this season.

Swiftwick Pursuit Hiking Socks

Socks: the gift for everyone! But seriously, these luxuriously soft, lightweight merino wool hiking socks from Swiftwick are a great gift and the nicest socks your gal will ever put on her feet.

They’re built for the outdoors, with mesh ventilation for breathability and a moisture transport system to keep feet dry and blister-free. But, really, they’re for everyone!

North Face Oh-Mega Fur Pom Beanie

Finding the right beanie can be difficult, but the North Face Oh-Mega Fur Pom Beanie will fit her like a glove…errr, hat. These beanies are great travel gifts that will keep her warm in the winter, or while traveling to different countries.

It’s made with classic cable-knit texture and topped with an adorable faux fur pom on the top. It’s one of my favorite travel gifts for her!

Keen Elena Mid Boots

Who says that you can’t wear sneakers in the rain? The Keen Elena Mid Boots are made with water-resistant leather, which will keep her toes warm, even if the temperature drops below freezing.

If she’s a hiker, these boots are a great gift idea for winter, these boots can withstand temperatures up to -4 degrees. From daily commutes to mountain treks, she’ll love having the perfect travel boot.

Deckers x Lab KO-Z Shoes

This line of shoes (and slippers and sandals) are considered the most comfortable work-from-home shoes in the world: she’ll be able to go from the home office to the makeshift gym in no time and feel like a million bucks while doing so.

All of the Deckers x Lab KO-Z shoes come with tons of arch support and extra padding. Top it off with a wide array of colors and patterns, and she’ll never want to go barefoot again.

Grayl Geopress Filtered Water Bottle

As one of the coolest gifts in this gift guide (and definitely one of my favorite ideas), The Grayl Geopress water bottle  sips like a Camelbak and contains no BPA or other icky chemicals. Plus it filters out bacteria, heavy metals, and any foul taste, meaning she can fill up anywhere knowing she doesn’t have to worry about quality.

Now, she won’t have to drink funky hotel water on her travels. And, it’s the perfect travel gift for the environment, because she’ll cut down on using single-use bottles. It’s our favorite bottle in our list of best water bottles for travel!

Luxury Travel Gifts for Women

Eberjey alpine chic robe.

If you want to spoil her, the Eberjey Alpine Chic Robe is a must.

You know how comfortable those hotel robes are? Now you can bring one home for the female traveler in your life. Wearing this incredibly plush, cozy robe is like being wrapped in a warm hug! The interior is fully sherpa lined, and the deep functional pockets are great for stashing her essentials.

She can wear it while just lounging around the house, or to cover up after a hot shower. It feels incredibly soft against the skin.

Kaya Laptop Travel Backpack

The Kaya Laptop Travel Backpack is ultra-stylish and yet still highly functional. This travel bag is made from faux leather and comes in a number of fun colors, including green, blue, purple, and pink.

The zippered back compartment holds a 15-inch laptop, and there are multiple interior pockets to keep everything organized. This travel backpack is a great gift and will take her from day-to-night, looking great the whole time.

Mejuri Travel Case

The  Mejuri Travel Case  is a small jewelry case that carries a surprising amount of stuff; that’s why it’s one of our best travel gifts. For light travelers, it’s ideal for carry-on luggage and is about the size of a clutch. There’s a section to hold rings and earrings, as well as hooks for necklaces. No more tangled chains!

There’s often a waitlist for this item, so make sure you pick up one sooner rather than later. Made with handcrafted leather and a suede interior, this design is so sleek and stylish you can take it with you on every trip.

Bose NC 700 Headphones

Everybody knows Bose produces some of the highest-quality audio products in the world, and their latest in wearable sound is no exception. If she travels a lot then why not get her a travel gift that immerses her in sound, both comfortably and in style? The Bose NC 700’s —wireless, noise-cancelling headphones—are without question one of the best travel gifts for women, hands down.

This is the newest model from Bose, and an upgrade from their previous model, the QuietComfort 35 II’s. If you’re deciding between the two, check out my full comparison of the Bose 700’s vs QC35’s .

Cambiami Interchangeable Sandals

If you manage to get this right then you’ll win big points.  Cambiami offers interchangeable sandals  so you can add a bit of customization to her gifts.

You’ll get a sole and multiple interchangeable straps, so it’s like a three-in-one pair of flats. This is one of those travel gift ideas that will get you forever in her good books.

Even better than that, because they’re custom made, nobody else will have flats quite like them! It’s one of the best gift ideas for travelers you can get her.

Mark & Graham Leather Tech Envelope

There is nothing worse than your plethora of charging cables tangling themselves into chaos.  This stylish tech envelope  eliminates that problem.

With one of these gifts, she’ll never have to extract her headphones from her Kindle wire. She also won’t need to worry about her cables or devices getting damaged in her bag while on the road.

It’s also perfectly sized for carrying a tablet and has pockets for cards, a phone, and a pen or stylus.

The cherry on top of this leather delight? It’s even better with her initials monogrammed on it!

Ringly Smart Jewelry

It’s about time women had a way to track their exercise without having to don some unsightly step counter on their wrist. The Fitbit tried to make trackers more stylish and now Ringly has taken it a step further. It’s one of the most stylish gifts you can get her.

Ringly  has incorporated fitness trackers into beautiful jewelry that people actually want to wear. Goodbye ugly, clunky tracker, this is one of the travel gifts for her that isn’t going back to the store.

BauBax Travel Jacket

BauBax makes multifunction jackets   just  for people who travel—and they make unique gifts, too! With four primary styles—bomber, sweatshirt, vest and windbreaker—these jackets are great travel gifts for her.

Plus, the primary selling point of these jackets: They’re loaded with more than 25 features, including built-in gloves, an inflatable travel pillow, a blanket, and even a footrest! It’s like giving a Swiss Army Knife of gifts. That’s not to mention all the pockets, so you can carry-on what you need instead of checking it.

Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set

The Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set is a simple but stunning set of toiletry bags with an elegant curved design that comes in a rainbow of colors. The larger case is meant to stash all of her travel-sized items (like creams, deodorants, and balms), while the smaller case holds make-up and small accessories. If there are any make-up spills, the microsuede interior is easy to clean.

One of our favorite things about this product is that the leather is made in Argentina by a  family-owned workshop collective. The leather is Leather Working Group (LWG) certified, meaning it’s tanned in compliance with the highest sustainability measures.

Catalina Weekender Bag

This sophisticated Catalina Weekender Bag is wonderfully versatile and is made up of eco-friendly sustainable fabric; she’ll love carrying this along with her on a quick trip.

Despite its compact size, this bag comes with lots of nice features, including a handy bottom pocket with a removable padded insert for an extra pair of shoes (or anything else she wants to keep separate from her clean clothes).

There’s also a pass-through sleeve for attaching to a suitcase handle to make sure it stays put, and a messenger strap with removable padding.

Travel Photography Gifts for Women

Dji mavic mini.

If she’s a photographer, she’s going to love having her very own DJI Mavic Mini . This drone is one of the best gifts for travelers, period. It’s nearly as light as a smartphone, and yet it powerfully flies anywhere a regular drone would.

The simple DJI Fly app lets you do it all from your phone, and the camera stabilizer delivers the smoothest image possible. This will definitely up her photography game.

GoPro Hero 9 Black

What traveler wouldn’t LOVE a  GoPro camera!? Their latest release—the GoPro Hero 9 Black—is hands-free voice-controlled, wearable, waterproof, has a touchscreen and gimbal-like stabilization! Plus, the camera records 5K! This will easily be one of her favorite gifts if she has an adventurous spirit.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera

Sticking to the photography topic, here’s a fun one: the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera . Don’t you just kinda miss print photos and having a real camera? If she’s a travel photographer, this is a neat little addition to her camera gear.

The Mini 9 also comes with some nice extra touches, including a New Macro Lens for close-ups (35-50cm) and a Selfie Mirror so she’ll get the perfect shot every time.

These travel gifts are sure to please the lady in your life, whether she’s a friend or family member—even if it’s you! Skip the gift cards and buy a thing she’ll love. There’s something here for every budget, so dive in and get that shopping done.

Upgrade her eye mask to one that’s made from pure silk, like this one from Slip . In addition to hair and skin friendly-silk, the mask features a contoured design that will allow eyes to move freely (which is important for deep sleep). The shape also helps to block out light, so you can sleep better even on a brightly lit plane.

73 Best Travel Gifts for Book Lovers, Beauty Gurus, & Everyone Else on Your List

When it comes to choosing the best travel gifts, there are many routes to take: You can get your go-to vacation companion something practical that they'll reach for every time they take out their carry-on. Or, you can gift something to encourage them to start planning their next trip (and hopefully invite you along). There are also gifts that bring travel to them, making the space between adventures feel a bit more like a vacation, and experience gifts to make their next trip even more exciting. No matter the occasion, or the traveler, we've rounded up nearly 60 travel gifts from brands we love, so you can find something for each person on your list.

For even more specific gift guides, be sure to check out all our recommended gifts for travelers, which we've gathered for you here . And keep an eye on the calendar—the sooner the better if you're shipping presents straight to a giftee, or mailing to yourself to wrap. Standard free shipping deadlines end as early as December 13 for delivery by Christmas, so aim to order by that date if you're hoping to avoid shipping costs.

Lunya washable silk pajama set

Washable silk pajamas? Say no more. For the traveler who could use a little luxury in their life, Lunya's matching set—which we've raved about time and time again—will get plenty of use at home and on vacation.

Dreamegg White Noise Machine

This sound machine fits into the palm of a hand and weighs less than five ounces. It's perfect for travelers with small children or who find it hard to fall sleep in new environments. It has a rechargeable USB battery, features 21 different sounds, and has an easy-to-use timer setting.

Ashya Passport Bolo

For those who like to travel light, the Passport Bolo from Ashya is an adjustable, hand stitched leather passport necklace made with 14K gold-plated hardware. It can be worn as across the chest like a slingbag or around the neck like a lanyard. Use it to hold important cards while traveling or as an everyday wallet .

Ember Travel Mug 2

The charge on this mug can last up to three hours, but lasts all day when combined with the charging coaster. When left unattended, it automatically goes into sleep mode, but can keep the cup warm for up to two hours with the help of its thermal hardware.

Sleepy Ride Airplane Footrest

We could wax poetic about what our office has dubbed “the foot hammock,” but it all comes down to this : for those roughly 5'7" and under, it'll transform your in-flight economy experience. Sling it around your tray table and enjoy stretching out your legs (or curling up to sleep) throughout your next flight.

Ralph Lauren Cable Cashmere travel set

This Ralph Lauren travel set is a travel accessory you'll use again and again. It comes with a large shawl that can be used as a blanket, a small pillow, and a soft eye mask—all made from cashmere.

Zendure mini portable charger

For frequent travelers, a small, lightweight portable charger is truly a must-have. The Supermini portable power bank is extremely slim, durable, and is compatible with USB-A, USB, and USB-C ports.

Rifle Paper Co. AirTag luggage tag

If your giftee has gotten on the AirTag train this year, they’ll appreciate this handy luggage tag, designed to hold said tag and look aesthetically pleasing while doing so. The garden party print will add a Bridgerton-meets-cottagecore vibe to their suitcase, and the AirTag compartment is detachable, making it even more versatile.

Bellroy Tech Kit

Every organized traveler needs a good tech kit. We like Bellroy's for its many pockets and loops that will fit any size cord and offer a safe place to stash AirPods, portable chargers, and work-from-anywhere accessories like a mouse or Wi-Fi extender.

Dagne Dover Seoul Dopp kit

Ahead of the holidays, Dagne Dover released a new slate of items in its eco-friendlier collection. The Seoul Dopp kit, much like the rest of the collection, is made from 100 percent recycled polyester while the interior is made from a spill-proof recycled poly lining.

Canada Goose Trillium Parka Heritage

For winter travel, a thick, packable coat is a necessity. The Canada Goose Trillium parka is built for extreme cold but is by no means bulky, and actually has a slimming effect. It has a chin guard to protect the neck from cold air, interior pockets, and a hoodie with removable trims, giving your giftee some style options.

Comrad Knee High Ombre compression socks

Socks have a reputation as a boring gift option, but for travelers, these ones are an actually thoughtful pick. Comrad is known for bringing comfort and style to the world of compression socks, which are designed to help regulate swelling and keep the blood pumping through the legs. They're perfect for long flights, road trips, or just walking around sightseeing.

AeroPress coffee maker

The AeroPress coffee and espresso maker is perfect for coffee lovers who can't go without their morning cup. It's durable, shatter-proof, and fits compactly into a backpack . It's easy to use and easier to clean, making it a must-have for travelers.

Pak Réve The Wilder Bundle

Trying to make it out of the house as a new parent can be stressful to stay the least. The Wilder Bundle, designed by Traveler contributor Jordi Lippe-McGraw , can fit everything you need and more. On the exterior, we see a full-size backpack, but its included attachments—a mini backpack, wristlet, and insulated lunchbox—easily snap off to lighten your load when you don't need them, or to be used separately.

Parks by Brian Kelley

From intricately drawn brochures and eye-catching advertisements emerges a collection of over 400 designs produced by the United States National Park Service over the last century, compiled into a giftable portfolio by photographer Brian Kelley.

Shinola The Canfield Sport

The Shinola Canfield Sport watch is a timeless piece of jewelry that can withstand whatever life throws at it. It features a stainless steel outer case and bracelet with a gunmetal finish making it extremely durable. Its sportier look is perfect for casual wear but the black finishing makes it easy to dress up.

Filson x Chris Stapleton Traveller Bag

Country music star Chris Stapleton recently collaborated with Filson on the Traveller collection that features both clothing and travel gear. One of the standout pieces is the rereleased archived duffel. The Traveller Outfitter Bag is one of Stapleton’s favorites and we understand why: It has an adjustable shoulder strap, a large main compartment for a few days' worth of clothing, and a comfortable leather grip handle. The leather on the handle won’t transfer any color and with each wear, the leather gets softer.

Browit silk sleeping bag

This silk sleeping bag sack gives a subtle glamping touch to any camping trip. The sleeping bag liner can be put into a sleeping bag for added comfort, or placed on top of a blow-up mattress or even a hotel bed. It comes with a drawstring bag that makes it easy to store and pack.

Simo Solis Portable Hotspot

When it comes to working outside of your home, we all know how unstable Wi-Fi can be. Instead of struggling through Zoom meetings on an Airbnb’s outdated router or a hotel on a crowded line, invest in your own hotspot. This one has a better bandwidth than the one you find on your phone, lasts longer, and won't run down your phone battery.

Collapsible Food Tent

This is an ideal gift for those who love to host outdoor get-togethers. Each tent is handwoven with long-lasting sinamay abaca fiber. It can easily be placed over trays, bowls, plates, and cups to keep bugs out of the food.

Béis The Expandable Pouch

Versatile is the best way to describe The Expandable Pouch from Béis. It transforms from a fanny pack into a sleek, lightweight backpack, with plenty of space to fit must-haves for a whole day. It's great for trips with packed itineraries, and when you find yourself picking up items throughout the day.

Aman x 111Skin nourishing gold algae eye mask

Perfect for the skincare routine queens on your list, these eye masks blend the expertise of Aman and 111Skin. A set comes with eight Nourishing Gold Algae Eye Masks to hydrate and brighten the under-eye area. They’ll come in handy after long-haul flights, or just the post-holiday drive home.

Té Company Tea set

The Formosa tea set is a perfect starter bundle for those looking to expand their tea palate. It has seven different blends and includes detailed instructions on the tea-making process to guide your giftee toward the perfect cup.

Four Seasons velvet slippers

Slippers are a no-fail gift option for pretty much anyone on your list, and this velvet style from Four Seasons will bring a touch of luxury to their day. The elastic back makes them easy to slip on and off, and the recycled rubber sole adds some durability to them.

Oui The People Body Renewal set

Oui The People has been bringing some heat to the skincare world, with formulas that produce an unmatched glow. The brand's holy trinity includes the new Clean Slate body wash, Cheat Sheet body exfoliant, and Featherweight body oil. The trio work together to achieve visibly smoother, brighter, and more hydrated skin.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones

Noise-canceling headphones can improve any journey, whether they're blocking out a snoring plane neighbor or immersing you in movie after movie on a long car ride. This popular option from Sony offers multi-device Bluetooth pairing, so you can connect to two devices at once and switch between them seamlessly.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

Amazon’s best-selling, waterproof Kindle Paperwhite is perfect for bookworm travelers—its battery lasts for weeks, it can hold more than 2,000 e-books, and the adjustable warm lighting emulates actual book pages.

Verloop trio colorblock knit touchscreen gloves

Add some fun to a practical gift with these colorblock touchscreen gloves from Verloop. The nano-metallic knit fingertips allow you to keep using your phone without sacrificing warmth—ideal for winter travel, especially on days when you’re relying on Google Maps to get around.

Malin + Goetz Essential Starter Kit

This is the ideal stocking stuffer for the traveler who is always squirreling away shampoo and body wash minis from hotels. They'll be treated to a full swath of toiletries—face cleanser and moisturizer, body wash and lotion, shampoo, and conditioner—all with the delicious scents Malin + Goetz is known for.

Pi7 S2 Wireless earbuds

Bowers & Wilkins have created an industry first: a wireless audio retransmission case, so you no longer have to worry about swapping out your headphones on the plane to enjoy in-flight entertainment. Simply plug each end of the included audio cable into the case and seatback console for up to five hours of crystal clear audio.

Shinola denim duffle

The denim duffel is Shinola Detroit's spin on an American classic. It's made from American denim and reimagines the brand's traditional cotton duffel with a more elevated flare. Accompanied by a striped band, you can carry it as a crossbody, over the shoulder, or opt to tuck the strap in and use the elegant arched handles.

Patagonia Provisions roasted garlic mackerel

Upgrade your outdoorsy traveler's camping meals with anything from Patagonia Provisions. We're fans of the brand's tinned fish , and especially this tender, garlicky mackerel. A single can makes a great stocking stuffer, but if you're shopping for a full-on seafood lover, splurge on the Tinned Seafood Sampler Box .

Lyft Gift Card

Calling Lyfts while traveling can quickly add up; a gift card helps take the pressure off any back and forth over whether a car is worth it or not, making it a great gift for younger travelers heading out on group trips or gap years. Another perk: Lyft's partnership with Delta means SkyMiles members can earn miles with each ride.

Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole mini hip pack

We love a good fanny pack here at Traveler , and Patagonia's is ideal for any frequent hikers (or bikers) on your gift list. Given its size—it stuffs into its own small pocket when not in use—and light weight (3.5 ounces), it's great to throw into your suitcase to use on city trips, too.

Apollo Walker picnic backpack bag

This all-in-one picnic fits comfortably inside a backpack and includes everything one could imagine: a set of stainless steel knives, forks, spoons, dinner plates, napkins, and wine glasses, just to name a few. As the cherry on top, it comes with a waterproof blanket.

Oak Essentials Mini Routine

Fancy skincare products are always welcome, especially when they come in a travel-size set that means you don’t have to rely on whatever’s in the hotel or Airbnb. This set, which comes with complimentary gift-wrapping, comes with the five products that make up Oak Essentials’ routine: a cleansing balm, balancing mist, ritual oil, moisture rich balm, and restorative mask.

Yellowstone National Park magnet

Like Parks Project , another  Traveler -favorite company for gifts for outdoorsy pals, The Landmark Project creates national park-themed gear that raises money to preserve outdoor spaces. These national park magnets make great stocking stuffers, and if you purchase something from the  Smokey Bear collection , 10 percent will go to the US Forest Service. 

Away The Bigger Carry-On

When it comes to luggage, Away is a solid choice—you can find this bag and many other Away styles in the closets of many a Traveler editor. Treat the graduate, new traveler, or family member in need of a suitcase upgrade to this larger-than-average carry-on.

Amalfi Coast coffee table book

Perfect for the traveler who just moved, or is in the middle of redecorating, this Assouline coffee table book will add a splash of color to any living room. Inside, there is plenty of eye candy and details on the 13 towns that comprise the Amalfi Coast.

Cadence The Bestsellers

These toiletry travel bottles have changed the game when it comes to bringing your own products with you—they are entirely leak-proof, and are magnetized, making them snap together to minimize they space they take up in your Dopp kit and the hotel shower.

Carbone print

Created by a former New Yorker editor, All the Restaurants offers limited-edition, hand-drawn sketches of iconic restaurants in New York, London, Paris, and Napa Valley. Order one to commemorate a special meal with a loved one, or one you’re still dreaming of visiting together.

1,000 Perfect Weekends: Great Getaways Around the Globe

For the traveler who doesn't know where to go next, this National Geographic book will give them plenty of inspiration. It is filled with 36- to 72-hour weekend guides to places around the world, with itineraries meant to tack onto existing trips or use as a weekend getaway from home (tags let readers know what hub the destination is within six hours of). Inside, you'll find ideas for beachy escapes, nature parks, food and wine-focused trips, even pet-friendly vacations. Also mixed in: helpful insights like wheelchair-friendly beaches to visit in the U.S.

Allbirds Tree Dasher

Traveler readers went wild for Allbirds' first running shoe when it debuted in 2020 , and again when a higher-ankle version was released last year. Share the wealth of comfortable kicks this holiday season—they come in nearly a dozen colors, are lightweight and pack down well, and look sufficiently non-sporty enough to wear throughout a trip, not just while exercising. (For those who live in cold-weather climates, the newer Wool Dasher Mizzles are a good option, too.)

Noshinku refillable pocket hand sanitizer (three-pack)

A practical, but extremely useful travel accessory: hand sanitizer. Noshinku gets bonus points for its slim profile, aesthetically pleasing colors, and refillable design. File this under gifts that will most definitely be used.

1Mii Bluetooth 5.0 adapter

Sometimes, the best gifts are the most practical. This pocket-size Bluetooth transmitter lets you watch in-flight entertainment with your AirPods, or any other cordless headphone you may use. Never stress about forgetting that second pair of earbuds again.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

A favorite of Traveler editor Meaghan Kenny, this popular lip balm makes for another great stocking stuffer or gift set inclusion. Use it at bedtime, in the morning, or mid-flight to hydrate dry, flaky lips.

Nodpod eye mask

An eye mask is a light sleeper's travel essential, and Nodpod took things up a notch by creating a weighted version. Best for long-haul flights where you'll be in a lay-flat seat, or to use in bed—the mask can be secured with its pull-through slit, but is best used simply draped over your eyes—it adds a bit of weight to your eyes, promoting a deeper, more restful sleep.

Alex Mill The Perfect Weekday Tote

Every traveler needs a solid tote to bring on road trips and use as a personal item. This Alex Mill bag gets the job done and has a classic look they won't tire of. It fits up to a 13” laptop, plus all the other essentials: phone, keys, wallet, water bottle, snacks, the works.

Lay-n-Go drawstring toiletry bag

Travelers who are also regulars at Sephora or Ulta will appreciate this cool makeup bag : Instead of having to dump out all your products to find what you're looking for, the bag opens up by way of drawstrings, and can be laid out as a circle on any surface, allowing every product to be on display.

Mountain Valley Train Puzzle

The 1,000-piece puzzle, made out of other recycled puzzle boards, is based on the artwork of Lars Stewart. This super-detailed piece captures a scenic ride through the Arizona desert with illustrations of wildlife, maps, recognizable travel gear, and more.

Ceremonia The Scalp Power-Duo

Ceremonia is a favorite of many Traveler editors, and this haircare set will turn any giftee into a fan. It comes with a scalp massager and scalp remedy oil—use the former to distribute the latter evenly and gently exfoliate the scalp.

Behind the Bar: 50 Cocktail Recipes from the World's Most Iconic Hotels by Alia Akkam

Written by Traveler contributor Alia Akkam , Behind the Bar takes readers to 50 iconic hotel bars around the world, offering recipes and historical tidbits from each. Perfect for the consummate host in your friend group, they'll have a good time recreating classics and discovering new cocktails from home.

Parachute Waffle Robe

A cozy robe is always a winner in our book, and Parachute makes some of the best. This classic waffle robe will remind them of days spend luxuriating at the hotel spa.

Papier travel notebook

You're either a journal person or you're not, but if you are, you know you can never have too many notebooks on hand. This pretty Papier pad will be a welcome addition to the stack, and is customizable: choose lined, plain, or dotted sheets, and either a hard or soft cover.

Go Neck Pillow

Ostrichpillow makes a whole bunch of nap-friendly designs , but we're partial to the classic Go Neck pillow for long-haul flights or lengthy road trips. It is made with a supportive (and compressive) memory foam, and has a Velcro close for an easily adjustable fit. Plus, it comes with a carrying case.

Béis The Weekender Bag

A real text I got from a friend after writing about this Béis weekender : “BÉIS CONVERT FOREVER. You did not oversell this. Truly a miracle.” It has plenty of room inside for clothes, accessories, and toiletries, and a bottom compartment for shoes, dirty clothes, or anything else you want to keep separate.

Welly Adventure Kit

Slip this into the stocking of any thrill-seeking , accident-prone traveler. It comes with all the essentials—more than 50 bandages, tape, butterfly strips, antibiotic packets, hydrocortisone packets, Ibuprofen—in a compact, easy-to-stash kit.

Mzoo contoured sleep mask

A good sleep mask is a travel essential for overnight flights. This one is made of memory foam and has raised sections over your eyeballs for added comfort, but lies flat around the nose and eyebrows to thoroughly block out light.

Ugg Scuffita slide slipper

Shopping for a homebody? Consider these shearling-lined Ugg slippers, made for lounging around the house (or hotel, or Airbnb) in peak comfort and style.

Upoy charging station

This multi-port charging station is a gift for the whole family—or for one very tech-obsessed traveler who need to juice up a phone, AirPods, smart watch, and Kindle all at once.

Mansur Gavriel Soft Lady Bag

A re-imagination of Mansur Gavriel's popular Lady Bag, the Soft Lady Bag was released to celebrate the original's five-year anniversary. It's softer and slouchier than its predecessor, meaning it'll pack down better in your suitcase. With room for daily essentials (a phone, wallet, keys, earphones, and even an iPad) and interior compartments to keep you organized, it's a polished crossbody you'll use for years to come.

Paravel Packing Cube Quad (set of four)

Paravel's packing cubes—which helped turn Traveler editor Lale Arikoglu into a more organized packer —are a practical gift any traveler will appreciate. They now come in a set of four, with two small cubes, a medium, and a large; for an extra touch, have them personalized with your giftee's initials.

Diptyque Orphéon Eau de Parfum

Diptyque candles are always a welcome gift, but for something a little more unique, go for one of the brand's eau de parfums. This one was formulated to recreate the scent of a ’60s Parisian bar—the woody scent smells great spritzed around the home.

Airbnb gift card

Here at Traveler, we're always on the hunt for the coolest, coziest Airbnbs, whether we're looking for a romantic cabin getaway , a house with a pool , or one that can brighten up our mood with the sheer amount of color found within its four walls. For the travelers in your life who are also keen on staying in a rental, Airbnb gift cards can be purchased in amounts from $25 up to $500, so you can chip in (or cover) their next stay.

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen

Arguably the most popular sunscreen amongst Traveler editors, this gel-like face SPF blends in easily, leaves no white cast, and feels great on your skin. It'll be a welcome addition to any stocking stuffer or gift set.

Polaroid Hi·Print 2x3 Pocket Photo Printer

Now that we all walk around with high-quality cameras in our pocket, fewer of our photos actually make it to print. This pocket-size printer from Polaroid spits out vibrant 2"x3" photos, so you can instantly hand over that new family portrait to grandma or share physical photos with a travel companion. 

Sabah slip-ons

Comfortable shoes are a hot topic among travelers and these Sabah slip-ons have articles director Lale Arikoglu's stamp of approval . Handmade in Turkey, they come in a range of colors and are long-lasting: “After six years of ownership, my pair is completely intact with the exception of the color, which is slightly fading in a way that, if anything, has only made them look better,” Arikoglu says.

Nixon Wizard Stick Beverage Sling

This is a niche gift, but there's someone on your list who will absolutely love it. Nixon's insulated beverage sling fits six cans at once; they can bring it along to picnics, camping trips, tailgates, or hikes to keep drinks cold and avoid the clunkiness of a tote bag or backpack.

Hinoki Wood Rice Ball Mold

There are food gifts for friends who want a meal or snack that's nearly ready to go right out of the box. Then, there are gifts that require some effort. For the home chef who's looking to expand their cooking skills, gift a new kitchen tool like this rice ball mold, which they can use to shape homemade onigiri.

Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide

Another great coffee table book, Atlas Obscura's new tome is made for travelers who plan their trips around food. Inside, readers will find a  guide to food experiences around the world, with chapters on every continent (including Antarctica!), as well as features on foodies like Tom Carvel, events like the Chicago World Fair,  and “how to try it” tips. Just a few noteworthy inclusions: Jeju Island's free-diving sea women in South Korea, the world's largest edible mushroom in Zambia, and the great fruitcake toss in Colorado.

The Carried Away Convertible Backpack

Sarah Jessica Parker collaborated with Samsonite on this versatile bag, which has since sold out multiple times. It's a jack-of-all-trades—wear it as a backpack, carry it as a tote, or sling it over your shoulder. It comes with a removable clutch and an extra strap to turn the smaller bag into a cross-body. Otherwise, it has all the bells and whistles you'd expect in a travel backpack : luggage sleeve, water bottle pocket, laptop slot, etc.

Bokksu snack box subscription

There is no shortage of subscription boxes out there, but we're particularly fond of the edible ones. Bokksu, a Japanese snack service that recently launched an online Asian grocery store , sends recipients an assortment of sweet and savory snacks, candies, and teas on a monthly basis, sourced from small, family-run businesses in Japan.

Artifact Uprising Color Series Photo Book

Commemorate a special trip with a photo book from Artifact Uprising. Whether it's your first big trip this year or one taken decades ago, your loved ones will appreciate the thought that goes into picking out your favorite memories together.

The 36 Best Gifts for Frequent Travelers

By Samantha Schoech

Samantha Schoech is a writer focusing on gifts. She spends her time finding things that combine quality, beauty, usefulness, and delight.

Give the globe-trotter in your life a gift that will appeal to their sense of worldly wonder. These items will make flights, long lines at customs, and hotel stays feel less arduous and more comfortable. You could also give your favorite traveler special mementos and experiences to celebrate past trips and anticipate future expeditions. Whatever type of traveler you’re shopping for, we have something here to suit their wanderlust.

Bluetooth connection

This small, portable transmitter sounds as good as more expensive options, and it actually works as advertised, which isn’t a given in this category.

Buying Options

Watching an in-flight movie with freebie airline earbuds is an exercise in missed dialogue and muffled music. The 1Mii ML300 allows travelers to connect their own Bluetooth headphones or earbuds to the plane’s audio system with a standard jack. This little gadget has a solid, 10-hour battery life, support for the aptX Low Latency Bluetooth codec (to improve the sync between audio and video), and the ability to pair to two sets of headphones at once. Like all the Bluetooth transmitters our audio team tested, it can produce some audio lag. Although it isn’t a flashy gift, it can make your giftee’s travel more pleasant.

Anywhere outlet

Epicka Universal Travel Adapter

With four plugs that will work in 150 countries, plus four USB-A ports, one USB-C port, and an AC socket, this adapter is the best all-around choice for anyone traveling out of the country.

If your sojourning friend is about to travel internationally, they’ll need a reliable plug adapter. The Epicka Universal Travel Adapter contains the three most common international plugs and a US-style plug, which together cover the majority of countries around the world. It has the most USB ports—four USB-A and one USB-C—of any universal adapter our travel team tested, and it charges more devices faster. A replaceable fuse and an included spare should take care of any shockingly bad connections. Still, it doesn't cover every possible plug around the globe. For someone who is truly bopping from country to country, a multi-plug set like the Ceptics International Worldwide Travel Plug Adapter 5 Piece Set contains five different plugs, and it offers sold-separately add-ons for countries such as Brazil , India , Israel , and South Africa , which aren’t covered by “universal” adapters.

Personal-item perfection

Away The Everywhere Bag

This bag slides over the handles of your carry-on for easy transport. It’s made of durable nylon and has plenty of space for in-flight essentials.

Ah, the ideal “personal item”—the bag that’s small enough to stow under the seat in front but large enough to hold headphones, hydration, extra layers, reading material, a laptop, lunch, and whatever other items one might deem essential. It seems nearly impossible, but it can be done. Away’s The Everywhere Bag , made of water- and abrasion-resistant nylon, is our personal-item pick . It has a removable shoulder strap and a sleeve for slipping over the handles of a carry-on suitcase . Inside, your gift recipient will find a roomy interior pocket for clothes and toiletries, plus six smaller pockets and a 15-inch laptop sleeve. Outside is a single slim pocket for tickets and travel documents, and at the bag’s base is a waterproof umbrella pocket. Truly savvy packers could easily get a weekend’s worth of stuff in this bag.

Artful journaling

Hand Book Paper Co. Travelogue Watercolor Journal

This 5.25-by-8.25-inch landscape-oriented journal has 30 sheets of 90-pound watercolor paper.

May be out of stock

Caran d'Ache Gouache Studio Set

With 14 shades and a tube of white in a reusable metal case, this gouache paint set allows for intuitive blending and layering, ideal for inspired amateur artists.

Kuretake Gansai Portable Watercolor Set

The travel version of our favorite watercolor paint set also comes with a self-cleaning water brush and a fine-tip black pen for outlines and definition.

One needn’t be a painter to enjoy the craft while traveling. Set a burgeoning artist up right with a few excellent tools of the trade. The compact Hand Book Paper Co. Travelogue Watercolor Journal is designed to absorb watercolors but lends itself just as well to pencil, ink, or gouache. Covered in natural linen, it has pouch-ready rounded corners and an elastic strap to keep it closed. Pair it with a set of gouache paints such as those in the Caran D’Ache Gouache Studio Set , which have a satisfying opacity and don’t require the patience, foresight, or skill of watercolors. Of course, some people prefer the abstract flow of watercolors, in which case the Kuretake Gansai Portable Watercolor Set is a better bet. Both palettes come with serviceable brushes; a more experienced painter might add a few extras as their skills progress.

Dry hair anywhere

PackTowl Personal

Whether used for camping, hiking, traveling, or general outdoor adventuring, this towel is durable enough to handle extended abuse while remaining soft and comfortable.

For adventurers who camp, stay in hostels, or otherwise travel rough, a personal towel is essential. Our pick is the PackTowl Personal , primarily for its odor-preventing antibacterial treatment, ideal for when laundry opportunities are few and far between. At 25 by 54 inches, it’s large enough to wrap around most folks, and it feels soft and substantial against the skin. It dries quickly, shakes free of sand readily, and weighs only 6.4 ounces—a primary concern for anyone carrying it in a backpack.

Noteworthy guidebooks

Herb Lester Guides

These magnificently designed fold-out maps provide unique and whimsical ways to explore dozens of locations around the world.

Gone are the days of carrying around dog-eared guidebooks to find hotels and museum hours. But there are still some things you can’t find online. The beautifully designed and lovingly written Herb Lester Guides provide travelers and armchair travelers alike with utterly unique ways to explore a new place. Serge Gainsbourg’s Paris doesn’t provide the entrance fee to the Louvre, but the gorgeous, 16-by-27-inch fold-out map, packaged in a printed cardstock case with a Gainsbourg cocktail napkin, does lead you to Studio Ferber, where the multitalented musician, actor, and director recorded the soundtrack to the hit movie Tenue de Soirée in 1986, or to L’Hôtel Meurice, where Gainsbourg often visited Salvador Dali. The series also includes John le Carre’s London ; The World of Patricia Highsmith , which touches on locations in the US, Mexico, and Europe; Andy Warhol’s New York , and dozens more.

Luggage helper

Cincha Travel Belt

This wide nylon strap has a sturdy buckle to keep your shoulder bag, backpack, or carry-on firmly attached to your roller bag, for smoother trips through the airport.

Anyone who travels has surely precariously perched their carry-on atop their rolling suitcase, only to have it topple, swivel, or lurch. Solve that annoyance with the Cincha Travel Belt , a useful offering that comes in some snazzy colors and patterns. The concept is simple: This adjustable nylon strap cinches a smaller bag to the telescopic handles of a suitcase, thereby freeing up a hand, shoulder, or back. Yes, your traveling friend could use a bungee or even a rope for that purpose, but this item has a few touches that make it worth the upgrade: The sturdy metal buckle releases like butter, and a hidden elastic loop keeps the belt attached to the suitcase, even when it’s unclasped. Yes, this is a practical gift, but for the right traveler, it will be a real gem.

Penkou Portable Neck Fan

This fan’s battery lasts all day, and several accidental drops haven’t killed it. Also, it fits comfortably around the neck without being heavy, loud, or excessively gusty.

This past summer, heat records broke across the globe, and many travelers reported that they found it difficult to stay cool and comfortable on the go. New York City’s heat wave prompted staff writer Thom Dunn to explore the world of wearable neck fans , including the Penkou Portable Neck Fan . And the Penkou model, with a ring of 72 air slots that softly blow air up toward the head (but not directly into the face), was his pick. It weighs only about half a pound, and because of its smooth plastic design, it’s barely noticeable against the neck and shoulders. One large button on the front right makes it easy to cycle through the fan speeds. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 16 hours, and the fan is compact enough to slip into a carry-on.

Handy sanitizer

Noshinku Hand Sanitizer

This flat, pocket-friendly hand sanitizer comes in sophisticated scents like vetiver, eucalyptus, and bergamot. And it’s refillable.

Traveling requires a lot of surface touching: airplanes, subways, taxis. If the pandemic taught us anything, it was that we should clean our hands as often as possible. The lovely-smelling Noshinku Hand Sanitizer is an FDA-compliant germ-killer that also contains stuff like jojoba, rosehip, argan oil, and aloe, to keep skin from drying out. Each canister is about the size of a credit card, though not quite as slim. So it can be slipped into a back pocket or a purse pocket. The best part is the canister is refillable , so your recipient can continue to use it for a long time.

Reading light

Glocusent Bookmark Style Reading Light

This chic, compact device offers five light settings, and the power indicator makes it easy to tell when to charge it.

Whether your favorite traveler is reading on a plane, train, or bed, or they’re just rifling through their suitcase, they will surely appreciate some extra light. The tiny Glocusent Bookmark Style Reading Light is our pick because it’s so lightweight and easy to carry. It twists and adjusts, so the light covers a full page, and it has simple buttons, for changing the brightness and temperature of the lighting. This lamp is so small it can clip to a paperback without weighing it down, and it fits in a pocket.

Trip planner

Lonely Planet’s Where to Go When

This visual travel guide suggests events and destinations for every month of the year. It’s as much an inspiration as it is a planner.

Graphically exuberant and endlessly inspiring, Lonely Planet’s Where to Go When is arranged by month, so travelers can figure out where to head on any given day. Miami’s Art Deco Weekend is in January. Consider Botswana’s Okavango floods (the best time for dugout canoe safaris) in June. This book further categorizes potential trips by budget, family-friendliness, and “expensive but worth it” (a July road trip along the Westfjords of Iceland, for example). Even if the recipient is more of an armchair traveler than a frequent globe-trotter, this book is sure to kick their wanderlust into full gear.

Luggage tracker

Apple AirTag

AirTags leverage Apple’s huge network of devices to track down a lost suitcase, and they’re impressively accurate at pinpointing an item’s precise location.

Whether it was misrouted by the airline or left behind in a station waiting room, a lost suitcase can really dampen a trip. The Apple AirTag —our favorite Bluetooth tracker —does not work with non-Apple products. But if your beloved traveler owns an iPhone, AirTags are better than their competitors in just about every way—from ease of setup to location accuracy. They track belongings almost in real time. And if an airline does lose your favorite traveler’s suitcase, they will have an accurate map to point to when trying to locate it. Wirecutter staffers have also had success with slipping AirTags into the pockets of their restless kids.

Arrive refreshed

Peace Out Puffy Eyes

Each box contains six pairs of under-eye patches, which are infused with caffeine and hyaluronic acid to depuff tired, travel-weary eyes.

Nobody looks—or feels—as fresh as a daisy after a flight. But the Peace Out Puffy Eyes cooling under-eye patches—a longtime favorite of supervising editor Hannah Morrill—can help with both. Each box contains six pairs of crescent-shaped patches, made of a gelatinous (but not icky) biocellulose gel. The cooling effect is certainly pleasant enough. But the ingredients (caffeine, for a temporary tightening effect, and hydrators glycerin, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid) are what really do the trick for travel-worn eyes.

Safe drinking water

LifeStraw Go Series

This water bottle’s microfilter straw protects against all sorts of contaminants—from microplastics to E. coli. And it makes everyday tap water taste better.

To turn non-potable water into fresh, clean drinking water, staff writer Samantha Schoech swears by the LifeStraw Go Series water bottle (she recently sent her son off to Central America with one). Its replaceable filter removes 99.9% of contaminants and protects against common waterborne pathogens. This bottle is a little pricey, but it eliminates the need for single-use plastic bottles. And each filter cleans 1,000 gallons, which translates to roughly five years of daily use. LifeStraw also makes a 1-liter collapsible bottle for when space is tight. (To learn a little more, see our article on the LifeStraw Max Water Filter .)

Plane entertainment

Nanoblock Birds Rosella Collection Series Building Kit

Flat bags packed with tiny building blocks keep bored hands and minds occupied on long treks. The resulting builds are about the size of a fist.

A person can only watch so many in-flight movies. On long hauls, we find these Nanoblock mini building sets to be just the ticket for restless hands and minds. They’re engaging but not mentally taxing, and the sets (ranging from about 100 to 200 pieces) are small enough to lay out on a tray table and later carry home in luggage. Finished pieces—from musical instruments to cats to pizzas—are only about 3 inches tall.

Power on the go

TravelCard Plus

This power bank is one of the smallest and lightest we’ve tested. It has a powerful USB-C PD port, built-in USB-C and Lightning cables, and a rated capacity of 3,000 mAh. But it recharges slower than our other picks.

At some point, your constantly on-the-go pal will require some extra juice, and a portable charger will ensure they have it when they need it most. We like the slim and petite TravelCard Plus , which also happens to be the smallest, lightest USB portable charger we tested. But there’s more to love than just its pocketable size. The TravelCard Plus’s USB-C PD port, built-in USB-C cable, and built-in Lightning cable can fast-charge most smartphones or other handheld devices (though it recharges more slowly than our other picks ).

An unmissable luggage tag

Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag

This brightly colored silicone tag displays the owner’s name but keeps other personal information out of sight.

There are a few features that make the Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag superior to pricier models in our testing . For starters, due to its sturdy, silicone-and-metal cable construction, it can withstand crowded overhead bins and rough tarmac treatment. Then there’s the issue of privacy: Although the owner’s name is always fully visible, address details are revealed only after you unscrew and remove the metal cable. Also an upside: This tag comes in a range of eye-catching colors. So it can help someone spot an otherwise-nondescript suitcase on a fast-moving carousel.

Premier toiletry transport

State Bags Bensen Toiletry Kit

This bag includes a detachable pouch and other organizational options, so packing is easier for both long and short trips.

For all manner of travelers, the State Bags Bensen Toiletry Kit is the most versatile one we tested . If your traveling pal takes longer trips and often checks their luggage, this bag folds up to stash larger items, like full shampoo bottles or contact solution; the hook hangs smoothly from a towel bar, for easy access. Our favorite feature for light packers: a removable translucent plastic pouch that holds up to four 2.7-ounce travel bottles (ideal for carry-on security checks). Available in a dozen prints and patterns, the bag also looks great and feels like a fancy, will-last-a-lifetime gift at a relatively modest price.

Small servings

Cadence Capsules

These leakproof plastic travel containers hold half an ounce of solids, liquids, or creams; magnetized sides keep them compact and easy to locate.

If your favorite excursionist wouldn’t dream of using hotel shampoo or missing a day of their skin-care regimen, a set of Cadence Capsules will serve as an anxiety-abating treat. (Less-particular travelers will appreciate our favorite simple toiletry bottles .) All six hexagonal cases are leakproof and magnetic on every side, and they can be filled with about a half-ounce of whatever the traveler’s heart desires—from serum and dry shampoo to omega-3 capsules and CBD gummies. The well inside each capsule has rounded corners, so the recipient can scrape out every last daub of their precious potions. Each vessel can be customized with a “tile” or label. But unless you know your recipient very well, we suggest giving a gift card , which will allow them to choose their own colors and tiles.

Organized packing

Eagle Creek Pack-It Reveal Cube Set

Simple and solidly constructed, these packing cubes maximize luggage space and keep everything organized.

Even for the most enthusiastic traveler, packing remains an uphill battle. The Eagle Creek Pack-It Reveal Cube Set (one of our favorites ) can make the task infinitely less arduous, and some of our testers found that this set made packing borderline pleasant. The three cubes are made of sturdy polyester, so they stay upright when empty, and the mesh windows let travelers easily scope the contents. With a clamshell design, these cubes fully open on three sides, so deeply stashed items are easily accessible. Another welcome note in the age of lost luggage: Pouches can help your favorite traveler compress stuff into a single carry-on.

Safety socks

SockWell Men’s Lifestyle Firm Compression Socks

These compression socks offer the perfect combination of function and price. They are made of a merino wool blend, which is typical of more-expensive options.

SockWell Women’s Lifestyle Firm Compression Socks

For a true frequent flier, wearing a great pair of compression socks is both a safety and a comfort measure. Long flights can cause deep vein thrombosis and gravitational oedema (the technical term for swelling caused by sitting around too long); compression socks facilitate circulation and reduce the instances of both. SockWell Lifestyle Firm Compression Socks (available in both men’s and women’s sizes) are comfortably snug, and they’re made of a luxe, merino wool blend that hugs without constricting. The socks are cozy on a nippy flight, and they come in a handful of prints and colors that aren’t as institutional-looking as those of other compression socks we tried.

A hands-free journey

Dagne Dover Ace Fanny Pack

This neoprene pack blends style and function, fitting everything from a large wallet to a makeup kit—with room to spare.

For those who like to explore new places but don’t want to carry a purse, a modern, cool fanny pack is just the right accessory. Of the 22 we tested, the Dagne Dover Ace Fanny Pack offers the best marriage of handsome looks (eight suave colors!) and plenty of storage space—it can readily hold a smartphone, a passport, a wallet, and hand sanitizer, and there are extra pockets for a transit card and some change. Wide straps make this bag comfortable to carry, and the neoprene material (think wetsuit) will keep gear dry if the weather shifts unexpectedly.

A cozy cardigan

White+Warren Essential Cashmere Trapeze Cardigan

This simple, luxurious, and flattering open-front cardigan will add a layer of warmth and elegance to a trip abroad.

There is nothing worse than boarding a flight and realizing you miscalculated just how chilly airplane AC can be. One of our favorite cashmere sweaters , the White+Warren Essential Cashmere Trapeze Cardigan is a simple and luxurious piece that will keep a traveler cozy both in transit and once they’ve reached their destination. This sweater is lightweight and soft enough to nap in (it can double as a blanket, thanks to its drapey shape), and it looks polished when layered over a tee or under a jacket. Available in six muted tones, the cardigan has an airy construction, so it can fold down smaller than expected for easy packing.

Colorful little notebooks

Pantone 10 Notebooks

Each brightly colored, pocket-size notebook has 48 grid-dot pages.

Not all travel journals need to be works of art, layered with watercolor and ink. The Pantone 10 Notebooks set includes 10 brightly colored, 4-by-5.5-inch softcover notebooks that are perfect for jotting down ideas, an itinerary, or travel memories. Each notebook slips nicely into a tote or a pocket and has 48 grid-dot pages of decent-quality paper. Send your traveler out into the world with a couple of these and a good pen , and see what they return with.

Armchair travel to Japan

Set in Edo-era Japan, this game revels in the simple pleasures of traveling—in this case, from the city of Kyoto to Edo (what is now Tokyo).

Players journey along the Tokaido road with other travelers, stopping at hot springs, stores, temples, and inns (and collecting souvenirs and eating delicious meals as they go). The ultimate goal is to be the “best traveler,” or to have the richest experience by seeing, eating, or doing the most during your trip. The game itself is beautifully designed and simple to play; it’s not deeply competitive, though there is some strategy involved in attempting to win. The pleasure of playing Tokaido comes from relaxing and accepting the pace of the board, and letting the game reveal surprising discoveries—much like travel itself.

A window out into the world

With each click in this free app, a view opens from a real window somewhere in the world, complete with sounds of birds, traffic, or blessed silence.

Sometimes the best gift is to remind someone that the world is both larger and more accessible than they realize. The strangely addictive WindowSwap allows viewers to take a break to stare out a window in cities such as Copenhagen, Manila, and Prague. Some of the window scenes are tranquil, others are not, but all suggest that there’s an infinite number of new things to see, wherever you are. The app is free, but for $5 a month, your armchair traveler will be able to look out all the windows ever uploaded, create unlimited bookmarks and playlists, and even access a back button so they can spend a little more time gazing out a favorite window.

An eye mask and a travel pillow for catching z’s

Nidra Deep Rest Eye Mask

This lightweight, contoured mask comfortably fits a wide variety of face shapes and blocks light well. It’s best when you’re sitting upright or sleeping on your back.

Travelrest Nest Ultimate Memory Foam Travel Pillow

This compressible pillow has tall, memory-foam walls, and it offers more support than any other pillow we tested.

It’s perhaps an indictment of air travel in general that many travel items are designed to mitigate the environment, whether it’s the noise, the light, or the cramped seats of an airplane. The Nidra Deep Rest Eye Mask , a Wirecutter favorite , features contoured eyecups that rest around the eye sockets, instead of directly on the eyelids. By combining this mask with noise-cancelling headphones and a pillow, a traveler will be about as close to a sense of privacy as one can find on an airliner. For a headrest, we like the Travelrest Nest Ultimate Memory Foam Travel Pillow . It’s simple to wear, doesn’t interfere too much with headphones, and provides support even when the wearer is sitting upright.

Tiny white noise machine

Yogasleep Travel Mini Sound Machine

This sound machine is about as small as the palm of a hand and weighs less than 5 ounces. And it features a USB-rechargeable battery.

There’s no guarantee that your beloved traveler’s hotel or Airbnb will be as quiet as it promises to be. A small, portable sound machine may create enough white noise to drown out sleep-disturbing intrusions. The Yogasleep Travel Mini Sound Machine is from the same company that makes the classic Yogasleep Dohm Nova , which we recommend . The Travel Mini has six sound options, including white noise, brown noise, and three nature-inspired sounds. It also acts as a gentle night-light, with three dimmable options. What’s better than the gift of a good night’s sleep?

A game about the birth (and death) of words

Those who enjoy language immersion (and disorientation) will appreciate this card game, which has players generate a unique dialect.

Part of the experience of traveling to another country is feeling lost in its language, and Dialect can help fill the gap. This game involves the birth (and eventual death) of a language and the culture that created it. At its heart, Dialect—which requires almost no setup but plenty of imagination—is as much a discussion of what language is and why it exists as it is a game. It’s also good for last-minute shoppers: Order the standard physical edition, and you’ll get a digital copy, too (online access is emailed immediately, so your loved one can start figuring out how the game is played).

Travel posters with classic appeal

Anderson Design Group World Travel Posters

These archive-quality, vintage-inspired prints depict destinations worldwide, and they come in a variety of sizes.

Years ago, senior staff writer Kit Dillon’s father went to Cuba and saw a clay statuette of Fidel Castro for sale. Kit said that when the vendor told his father the price, he said, “Castro no vale tanto” (translation: Castro isn’t worth that much). That may seem risky for an American to say while traveling alone in Cuba, but the statuette is here now looking at Kit, so somebody appreciated the joke. Ever since, Kit said when he finds a small token of Cuba—like this art print —he sends it to his father to remind him to take the trip again one day, only this time with Kit. For its World Travel Poster series , the Anderson Design Group created nostalgic images that harken back to another era of travel—and they make an excellent promissory note for a trip to come. The collection currently encompasses every country in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Central, South, and North America, and it will eventually include every country in the world. The prints come in six sizes, and the images are available on canvas or metal.

Cutlery to go

Hydro Flask Flatware Set

This three-piece stainless flatware set helps climate-conscious travelers avoid single-use plastics, and it comes with a Velcro carrying case.

Airport food has come a long way. What hasn’t progressed: the flimsy and environmentally deplorable single-use plastic utensils you have to eat it with. Portable cutlery will give your recipient a dignified way to dine on the go. Wirecutter editor Ria Misra recommends the sturdy stainless Hydro Flask Flatware Set , which comes with a full-size fork, a knife that’s strong enough to butter a muffin (but that won’t alarm the TSA), and a spoon that’s perfect for slurping soup. This set also comes with its own carrying case, so it won’t get lost (or separated) in the dark recesses of your carry-on.

A pretty passport cover

Tusk Siam Passport Cover

This elegant goatskin passport cover comes in 11 zippy color combos, and it won’t fade or scuff, even after years of traveling.

A bright passport cover will make it easy for your traveling pal to quickly locate their passport in a bag at the airport (or at home, when it’s shoved in the back of a drawer). Supervising editor Hannah Morrill loves the Tusk Siam Passport Cover , which is made from supple goatskin leather and comes in nine cheery color combinations. (Some other versions we’ve tried have a translucent pouch; in theory, this sounds ideal for flashing the relevant page at customs, but in practice, the cover ends up smudgy and embedded with crumbs.) Hannah reports that even after years of use, the slim folio looks clean and crisp. Plus, there are two inner card slots, which are excellent for stashing any stray forms you’re asked to hang onto at the airport or on the plane.

We love finding gifts that are unusual, thoughtful, and well vetted. See even more gift ideas we recommend .

Fun and unique travel gift ideas for women

Travel-themed jewellery is a great gift for travellers who love a little something that represents their wanderlust. This Sterling Silver travel map necklace is a beautiful accessory that she can wear and take anywhere with her, reminding her to always follow her passion for travel. 

3. Travel experience gift card

What do you give someone who is always on the move and travelling? As a full-time traveller one of my favourite gifts to receive is a travel experience gift card. With a travel experience gift card your receiver can pick what to use it for, and it’s a great opportunity for them to try a new adventure. It’s guaranteed they’ll love this!

I’d recommend Tinggly (for US-based travellers) or GetYourGuide Gift Card (for worldwide travel) which offers a wide range of experiences all around the world!

4. Travel journal

Travel journals are a great gift option if you’re looking for something simple and versatile. The OMEYA Leather Journal is lightweight and durable, perfect for travelling and capturing those unforgettable memories. If you prefer to get something more fun and colourful, this Clever Fox travel planner is also a great option for travel gifts for women.

5. Language learning subscription

Learning the basic phrases in the local language of your destination can be extremely helpful for any traveller.

If your traveller loves communicating with locals and learning new words, a language learning subscription would be a great gift for them! Rosetta Stone is one of the leading language learning platforms that gives you access to 25 languages including Spanish, Italian, French, Mandarin and Greek. 

6. Scrapbook 

If you’re looking to spark some creativity with your present, scrapbooks are an amazing gift for travellers who love to save small memorabilia like museum entrance tickets and flight boarding paces. It’s something they can look back on and cherish for years to come. 

7. Travel colouring book

A travel-themed colouring book is the perfect gift for artistic travellers, capturing the essence of wanderlust in its pages. The Lonely Planet Travel Colouring book is ideal for passing time during long layovers or train rides, each page offers landmarks and patterns waiting for her personal touch. For a complete present set, pair it with a box of colouring pencils.

Best travel gifts for women that will make her trips easier

A chic passport holder is a great gift to keep her most important document safe. The Melsbrinna Passport Holder is a great option and it comes with slots to keep other documents in one place. 

9. Luggage tags

Luggage tags are a great gift idea for women. Beyond functionality, they help her spot her baggage quickly or ensuring it finds its way back to her in case it’s misplaced. The Fintie luggage tags are perfect with their vibrant colours and metal loop lock to keep them in place. 

10. Hanging toiletries bag

Jewellery often gets tangled when travelling, but a sleek jewellery organiser case is the perfect solution for this. With specialised compartments, her treasured pieces stay organised and safe.

Keeping all your cards and important documents safe and organised while travelling is crucial, as well as having quick access to anything you need. The Travelambo Women’s Wallet is both stylish and practical, made of smooth faux leather and designed to protect cards with its RFID blocking feature.

13. Waterproof phone pouch

For the traveller who loves beach getaways and underwater adventures, a waterproof phone pouch is a must. It’s a great low-budget but high quality gift that ensures her device is protected against splashes and accidental dips, allowing her to capture memories worry-free.

14. Portable steamer

Wrinkled clothes on arrival? Not anymore. For anyone travelling for business often or social events, a portable steamer is the perfect way to quickly refresh her outfits, ensuring she looks impeccable no matter where her travels take her. No more worrying if her hotel or AirBnB has an iron available. 

This steamer is compact and heats up ready to use within less than 30 seconds.

15. Travel hairdryer

This cute airplane window mirror is a fun gift for a frequent flyer.

52. Mirrorless Camera

A mirrorless camera is great for female travelers who don’t want to carry a bulky DSLR but don’t want to sacrifice quality. The Sony Alpha a6000 gets good reviews and is one of the more affordable mirrorless cameras.

53. Lightweight Tripod

A lightweight tripod is a great gift for a solo female traveler that wants great photos of herself while traveling or that just wants to steady her camera for a good shot. This lightweight tripod gets great reviews, is super affordable and comes with a bag making it easy to carry around.

If you are looking for an amazing gift for a traveling woman, it does not get much better than a drone.  The one we have our eye on is the DJI Mini 2   – it is a great option for beginners and is also ultralight and foldable. We would not mind if someone decided to buy this one for us!

Going to Seattle for thanksgiving. It’s rainy and cold. Need suggestions for a jacket or coat that is not terribly expensive.

Hi Phyllis, these are the most popular jackets according to our readers: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/waterproof-jackets-womens/

For more tips to help you pack for Seattle, check out this guide: https://www.travelfashiongirl.com/what-to-pack-for-seattle-a-locals-approved-packing-guide/

Have a fabulous time and happy thanksgiving!

I’m in Canada, when I click on pricing for that beautiful scarf, it’s coming up @106$ cad – seriously. Same for those fab packing cubes .. twice the price +. I would love to purchase some of these fab travel accessories, but just can’t justify paying double ++

Hi Elaine, unfortunately the listing on the Amazon Canada website for the Compass Rose Packing Cubes is a reseller and we can’t do anything to stop them. They they don’t even stock the product. They order it from the Amazon USA website when someone places an order with them. It’s incredibly frustrating Please do not order anything from them. It’s horrible how they mark up the prices. ?

Amazing list! The health tracker is so useful ?

Thanks Julia!

So many great gifts, would love to try the packing cubes,

Thanks Cheryl!

Washable luggage cover is brilliant, especially coming from someone who has had their ubiquitous black suitcase taken (and not returned) for days!

ouch 🙁 that’s horrible

The Travelon crossbody is my go-to travel bag! I have it in gray. This one is more stylish and gives me piece of mind while traveling. Thanks for all the great information and tips you share!

Thanks Karen 🙂

Such great gift ideas and super useful. I’m hoping my fur babies get their mama some of those striped compression socks!

haha, they’re great!

Thank you for the tips! I really have no clue on what to give my mom this year 😛 Camilla | http://cammi.dk

Happy to help 🙂

All great ideas – a few of my personal favorites from trial/error and researching different brands – Sherpani theft-proof crossbody, Vlandro jewelry box-AWESOME, Ellis James quilted travel jewelry case, Aicok fabric steamer, co2CREA Universal Hard Shell travel storage case for electronics, RandomOrder Ruggedized Backup 9000 mAH battery pack, Baglane packing cubes, Samsonite underseat large carry-on, Nikibiki leggings, Birkenstock – all of the above I found on Amazon. I also sell a line of snap jewelry I find to be super convenient when traveling.

Awesome round up! Thanks Loxie 🙂

The 41 Best Gifts For People Who Love To Travel All The Time

...according to frequent flyers.

"I hate traveling," said no one ever. Name one person who wouldn't love to go on a little vacation right now—I won't hold my breath. It's likely that you have at least one loved one (or person you're following on Instagram) who's constantly traveling. And as much as the frequent traveler in your life may awaken the green-eyed monster within you, they're probably also the first person you go to for tour, restaurant, and sightseeing recommendations.

Of course, you'll never go wrong with a high-quality, durable suitcase , but there are some unique gift ideas here, too. From a mini clothes steamer that Women's Health's lifestyle director Lindsay Geller swore by on her honeymoon to some comfy slip-on sneakers our deputy editor of content strategy, Amanda Lucci, won't travel without, there's something for every type of traveler below.

Travelon Anti-Theft Crossbody Bag

Nobody ever wants to have their phone or credit card numbers stolen, but it's a particularly nightmarish experience while traveling (especially on a solo trip!). This stylish geometric anti-theft crossbody is one of Geller's favorites. Bonus: As compact as it may look, she says it holds a lot .

iWALK Small Portable Charger

This little portable charger is super lightweight, and can change a phone fully in about two times in a charge. "I was worried about needing maps/etc. in Greece and wanted this just in case," says Andriakos. "It also came in handy on the ferry rides/flights when I didn't have an outlet but wanted to use my phone a lot."

BAGSMART Electronic Organizer

Nobody should be spending precious sightseeing hours untangling wires. That's why this electronics organizer is a must-have for everyone, but especially for the techy who can't travel without all their devices.

CHI Steam Handheld Garment Steamer

Geller swore this steamer was a life-saver on her honeymoon. "I love how lightweight it is, and the shape is more akin to a flat iron than other small steamers so it's easier to fit in a suitcase," she says.

Leze The Label Mira Cardicoat

There's nothing like snuggling up with a cozy sweater on a long flight, and this one is great because it looks so cute that you wouldn't think it's actually super comfortable, too. Better yet? It's specifically designed to be wrinkle-resistant, so it can easily be squished in to any carry-on.

Mocado LED Foldable Travel Makeup Mirror

Till your travel-loving bestie can travel with a full glam squad like a Housewives cast member, this foldable LED mirror will suffice. Outfitted with three lighting modes and meant to last for up to a week on one full charge, it's super lightweight at just half a pound.

Pinzon Packing Cubes

Loved by our executive health and fitness director, Jacqueline Andriakos, these packing cubes have two zippers that allow you to compress and squeeze your belongings in. "I was so skeptical about packing cubes and these are now a game changer for me," she says.

Map Your Travels Push Pin World Map

They'll love showing off all the places they've traveled with this push pin world map that double as decor. It's a great conversation starter, and may even get them feeling competitive about wanting to cover more places!

LIGHTIMETUNNEL Bluetooth Sleep Mask

Some people simply can't sleep without their ocean sounds or podcast, but this bluetooth sleep mask also comes in handy when trying to sleep on a flight next to a noisy neighbor. It features a smooth memory sponge fabric, too.

JISULIFE Handheld Mini Fan

No matter where they're traveling, it's likely that they'll be spending time outdoors sightseeing or lazing poolside. This fashionable, foldable, rose gold fan will slip right in to any bag easily to become their new fave travel essential. Our deputy digital editor, Maridel Reyes, considered hers a savior for her (humid) trip to Southeast Asia.

NEWVANGA Universal Travel Adapter

So, this isn't exactly the sexiest gift, but it's an absolute necessity for frequent international travelers. Rather than trying to figure out which converters to use in which country, this universal adapter works globally with the many port options it has. It even features two types of USB plugs.

Peter Pauper Press Travel Checklist Journal

Got a college student who's going on their first study abroad trip, or just a hesitant wannabe traveler on your hands? This journal houses both a comforting travel checklist and journal with guided prompts for when they finally take the leap.

Panda Bros Slipper Socks

The second I hop on any long flight, I get into these cozy slipper socks. Economy feels just a *bit* more luxurious when my feet are wrapped in the sherpa lining, and they even feature anti-slip grips at the bottom for when I need to stretch my legs or hit the restroom.

Away The Everywhere Zip Backpack

Hey, not everyone likes a tote, duffle, or briefcase, and that's ok! Backpack stans will find a lot to love about Away's lightweight backpack that's sleek enough to use for a work trip and durable enough to take on a light hike. It's even outfitted with a magnetic locking zipper for added security.

FURTALK Wide Brim UPF 50 Straw Hat

Yes, I know everyone loves the sun, but if you know a traveler who only goes to sunny destinations or just happens to love hats, this one's a great pick. With thousands of five-star reviews on Amazon, it features UPF 50 fabric and even folds easily into a suitcase without getting any dents.

Ytonet Garment Duffle Bag

So the traveler in your life loves to travel in style, but you may not exactly have the budget to support that. Snag them this duffle bag that was specifically designed with a hanger and ant-wrinkle hanging garment bag so they can take their fave suit or dress straight from the dry cleaners to international date night.

Knock Knock Packing Checklist Pad

No matter how many miles anyone's racked up, it's easy to forget items and be left searching for a drugstore in a foreign country. This packing checklist pad will become a staple in their packing routine. It makes a great stocking stuffer or add-on gift.

Etekcity Luggage Scale

Gone are the days of having to delicately balance a suitcase on a scale thanks to this easy luggage scale. Simply clasp it around the handle and lift to get an easy read. The person who loves coming home with lots of souvenirs will seriously appreciate this one.

Vemiss Sunglasses Case

Some people simply can't travel without a new pair of sunglasses for every outfit, and they're unfortunately one of those items that break or get lost *super* easily. Help them out with this super chic sunglasses box case that easily unfolds and hangs on the back of a door for safe organization.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC 50 States, 5,000 Ideas

Yes, there's nothing like a hop across the pond(s), but there's tons to see right in our own backyard, too! This book by National Geographic features some obvious must-see sights in our country, like the Statue of Liberty and Golden Gate Bridge, but it also features unique hidden gems like Louisiana swamps and the world's longest yard sale.
