Best Gifts For Travelers

What is the BEST GIFT for the traveler in your life? The gift that would surprise or elicit an “awwww” from them when they pulled it out of the recycled gift bag?

We can’t just toss out all those gift bags right? You have a pile of them for every occasion stacked in your basement too, don’t you?

Doesn’t everyone?

Might be sharing too much on my gift-giving “wrapping”

Anyhoooo, gift bag or no gift bag, this gift list for travelers will cover the worldly wanderer to far-off places.

Or that friend who’s stayed in the same city for longer that 34 days before getting the warm fuzzy thoughts of taking another trip.

Or, the family traveler who jumps in their car to explore the city or countryside next door to home?

Sometimes we get so caught up in “travel” being all worldly and across one of those big oceans, that we forget that packing up a mini weekender bag for a 204-mile drive to that Christmas Market in Leavenworth, Washington for a 3-day getaway and a North Pole Santa Village feel of all things magical, that we forget about the nearby travel goodness.

Yes, I got lost in that last one🤦🏽‍♀️ That’s the one I’m hoping to sweet-talk my family into this December when we’re all together again.🙏🏼

But, alas, you clicked in for this year’s Best Traveler Gift ideas.

The BEST Gift Ideas for Your Traveler!

THE Travel Scarf

One piece every traveler needs in or on their personal item bag is THIS TRAVEL SCARF.

It’s a pillow, a jacket, an accessory, and leg elevator when you place it around the seat tray-table and rest your ankles through it.

The Universal Travel Adaptor

For the international traveler, this under $25 travel gift will last them for travel years to come. Covers 150 countries to plug in all the U.S. gadgets.

Includes USB-A and USB-C ports. There’s always plenty of devices to plug in on trips. We carry TWO of these adaptors when we travel internationally.

Portable Fan For a Cool Traveler

If you’re in midlife and experienced one of those spectacularly blazing flashes, then you know how grateful a fellow female traveler would be to get one of these two best travel fans.

Portable Travel Chargers

A MUST HAVE for devices when traveling and a welcome gift by any traveler.

Googling, videoing, directions…All drain the phone battery fast. I love THESE 2 PORTABLE CHARGERS for their charge and sleekness to pack in my personal item bag.

New Card-Size Sanitizer

A pretty smelling spray to SNIFF on the plane when the smells around you aren’t awesome, and SPRAY when you in open space off the plane to sanitize.

Refillable and bit thinner than my other favorite travel spray sanitizer👉🏼 Touchland

Apple AirTag

Whether you check your luggage or fly carry-on only, hiding an AirTag in your bags lets the traveler keep an eye on their bags at all times.

Or your pup too🤷🏻‍♀️ They have AirTag holders for almost anything!

Feel Refreshed on Travel Day

Summer Friday Travel Kit is travel-sized and has all the hydration things for that long-haul flight

A Find My Bag…Tag

These silicone luggage tags come in BRIGHT colors and make it easy to find your suitcase when it pops out on the luggage merry-go-round.

Tags cover all your personal information and come with stainless cord to attach.

Electronics Kit Bag

Organized and ready to travel in this multi-pocket bag that fits in the airplane seat-pocket and holds all in-flight gadgets and cords needed on the flight.

Put all your electronics and gadgets in one place so they’re easy to find in this Tripped Electronics Kit Bag.

Save My Airpods From the Airplane Seat Grave Yard

Instead of a Readers chain around your next, get this Airpod Saver instead. If your Airpods fall out of your ear mid-flight this great gadget will save them from the airplane seat rail graveyard where sooooo many tiny possessions go to vanish.

Cadence Travel Containers

Leak-proof and magnetic to snap together and stay together in your toiletry bag. The set of 3 has labels, rounded centers to get every last drop out each trip and keep all the liquid, paste, of gel exactly where you put it.{cleanser, eye serum, tanning drops…}

Perfectly Packable Flat Containers

Option two for toiletry packing {shampoo, conditioner, lotion…} at a lower price-point, plus they’re FLAT and the containers I take when I go on 10+ day trip.

Packing Cubes or Compression Cubes?

Another gift for that organized friend. These Compression Cubes can be zipped tight or left loosey-goosey {unzipped} for short trips.

This 8-piece set is another great gift pack with shoes bag, laundry, and see-through tops.

Travel Style Gift Ideas::

Your stylish traveler would love these pieces that are comfortable to wear on travel day::

First up are the Hair tie + Bracelet sets.

With my shorter hair cuts days I’ve been wearing them more as bracelets than hair ties, but it’s nice to have the option of bracelet or hair accessory🤗

Next up is going long with this Travel Cardigan/Coatigan

I listed two similar ones, but very different price points. The camel color will travel with everything worn to the airport…

The perfect neutral travel sweater-jacket!

A Traveling Crossbody with a secret water pocket 😉
