Trying to find a classic gift idea for the traveler on your list? Our list of must-have packing essentials are sure to inspire you to find the perfect gift.
Gift Ideas for Frequent or New Travelers
1. Packing Cubes: This is a MUST have when packing for any trip. Using packing cubes maximizes space and also keeps each family member’s clothes separate, making it easy to find what you need quickly. I never go on a trip without them. There are a million options to choose from and they make a great gift for anyone on your list.
2. Carry-on Suitcase: There are many different options for luggage, but if you really want to splurge on someone special, get them an Away carry-on suitcase! This durable and stylish bag is a game changer… and did we mention it comes in a variety of cool colors and a few sizes?!
3. Jewelry Case: Help a special someone in your life keep their favorite jewelry organized and protected with this chic jewelry case from Calpak. It is a splurge, and you can find something similar on Amazon, but its luxury materials and compact design fits perfectly in a carry-on and keeps accessories tangle-free while on the go.
4. Pill Case & Pouches: We all can throw our vitamin or pill bottles at the bottom of our suitcase, but why not give this cute travel case for that special someone to keep their meds organized? It is a unique, yet practical, gift for your traveling loved one.
5. Travel Size Toiletries: A must-have for every traveler is a set of travel-size toiletry containers, allowing you to meet those TSA requirements while bringing along your favorite lotions and shampoos. A fun gift idea is to put together a selection of new products from Sephora to add a touch of luxury to the recipient’s trip without exceeding carry-on liquid limits.
6. Shoe Bag: This shoe bag is a game changer for anyone looking to keep their footwear separate from clean clothing in their luggage. If you’re looking for a gift for the hiker or runner, a shoe bag is a great addition to their luggage collection.
7. Baseball Hat Case: This hat carrying case from Melin will be a hit among baseball hat lovers on your list! The simple design attaches easily onto a carry-on bag, keeping hat structures intact. This is a staple for my brother-in-law and might be under the tree this holiday season for my husband.
8. Travel First Aid Kit: I always throw this first aid kit into my travel bag. It is the perfect size to keep all of the key essentials, plus add in a few other items such as air sickness meds, pain meds, stomach meds, etc. This cute kit is a perfect stocking stuffer or even teacher gift.
9. Packable Sun Hat: My sister swears by this hat and takes it everywhere! It comes in a variety of styles, as well as men’s options, and is a perfect staple for any beach or outdoor trip.
10. Priority Pass: Treat your favorite traveler to the ultimate luxury with a Priority Pass subscription, giving them access to over 1,600 airport lounges. I’ve only had the pleasure of experiencing a lounge twice, but let me tell you—it makes traveling feel so much more relaxing and special!
