Our team of travel experts has rounded up our all-time favorite travel must-haves! No matter who you’re shopping for this holiday season, these are the best gifts for travelers of all ages.
Organization + Basics
Hanging Toiletries Bag
The easiest way to make your next trip seamless is with a great toiletries bag. We’re a big fan of this basic, hanging option, which makes packing and accessing your toiletries in your hotel a breeze. This is the perfect gift for frequent travelers, parents, or anyone who likes staying organized on the go.
Refillable Travel Containers
Reusable mini-bottles for toiletries make packing lighter, easier, and more eco-friendly. While there are cheaper ones on the market, a set of nice, durable mini-bottles make any trip feel a little bit more glam!
Power Bank with Multiple Chargers
There’s nothing worse than exploring your destination and suddenly realizing your phone is on low battery. A slim power bank is a no-brainer for a frequent traveler or anyone who is going to be using their phone for a lot of navigation or taking photos!
Personalized Luggage Tag
If you know anyone getting married or going on their first big trip, a personalized luggage tag is the PERFECT gift. It’s functional, fun, and will last forever! Plus, it’s small enough to slip into a stocking.
Luggage Scale
We love this simple tool with major value: avoiding surprise checked-bag fees and extra stress at the airport. There’s no shame in being a heavy packer, but you’ll definitely want to pack this on your next trip!
Makeup Bag
If you know someone who is currently using a plastic zip-loc bag to travel with their makeup, this is the gift they need. A stylish, dedicated bag for makeup keeps everything neat and organized, and elevates their travel experience while ensuring nothing gets lost or spills.
Travel Jewelry Case
Keeping jewelry tangle-free during transit is no easy-feat, and getting a compact travel jewelry case is a game-changer! We love that this case has dedicated storage for necklaces, earrings, and other accessories, without taking up much space in your bag.
Collapsible Water Bottle
Hydration without the hassle. We love that this water bottle folds flat when empty, making it easy for anyone to pack and take with them on their adventures! It’s an easy option for anyone with an upcoming trip.
Travel Steamer / Iron
For a more practical gift, we love this travel steamer / iron combo. Especially if you know someone who travels a lot for work, this is a great option! Gone are the days of wrangling the hotel ironing board.
Polaroid Camera
What do you get the traveler who has it all? A way to take their memories home! A fun, retro Polaroid camera is a great gift that your loved ones can use on their vacations and after they return home.
Sleep + Comfort
Sleep Mask
Nothing derails a trip faster than a bad-night’s sleep. Bringing along a great sleep mask helps set you up for success so you can fully enjoy your vacation!
Travel Pillow / Eye Mask / Blanket Set
This set speaks for itself: travel should be comfortable! If you know someone with an upcoming red-eye or long-haul flight, this gift will start their trip off on the right note.
Travel Sound Machine
If you’re a light sleeper or traveling with kids, you’ve had the experience of getting a bad night’s sleep while traveling. A compact sound machine can make a world of difference and help you get a solid rest while in a new location!
Mini Humidifier
We’ve all been there - waking up in a hotel room with everything dry. Packing along a mini humidifier can help you sleep better and wake up feeling refreshed. It’s a great gift that many travelers don’t think to purchase or pack for themselves!
Suitcase-Alternatives
Garment Bag Suitcase
We love that this duffel bag combines a classic bag with a garment bag, all in one. It makes it incredibly easy to pack for a big event, or just to make sure your clothes don’t get wrinkled. With such a smart design, it’s easy to pack for a long weekend with everything you need.
Backpack Suitcase
This bag can do it all. It’s the perfect option for a weekend getaway, complete with a USB charging port, laptop compartment, shoe storage, and plenty of space for packing clothes. For the light packers in your life, this is a great gift option.
JustinCASE Convertible Backpack
This cooler backpack is a great option, especially for families! It has both dry + cooler storage, making it easy to pack meals, clothes, toys, and anything else you may need on your vacation. We especially love this as an easy option for a beach trip.
