Traveling often has given me a desire to really narrow down my possessions to only the things I need. So when it comes to Christmas, I am definitely wanting things I can use (especially dual purpose items) over things that are just cute. If you have a traveler in your life, get them something they will use this Christmas that will also remind them of you every time they see it. Here are the top 10 gifts on my wishlist to help me get the most out of my travels this upcoming year!
INSTAX POLAROID PRINTER
Gift your friend the ability to print out their travel memories when they get back home. I love saving my pictures in my travel journal. Use them for scrapbooking, framing, or hanging on the wall. And with the Instax printer, you can add filters or frames to your photos. With a 12-second print time, it's a great way to relive your favorite travel destinations over and over again.
Shop it here in 6 colors for $169.99.
LUGGAGE TAG PORTABLE CHARGER
There have been times when I've woken up to an uncharged phone and had to go straight to the airport. Getting an Uber or directions, trying to check in and get an e-ticket, it's all impossible and stressful with a phone that's about to die. Having a luggage tag that doubles as a charger would be a lifesaver, especially because outlets are so hard to find in some airports.
Shop it here in 7 colors for $32.
NOISE CANCELLING BOSE HEADPHONES
A long flight with noisy travelers can get old really quickly. Help the traveler in your life avoid the annoyances of travel with these noise cancelling headphones. Bose headphones have 3 different settings for noise cancellation, and are compatible with Alexa. These headphones also have great reviews for their comfort and sound quality, making them worth the splurge!
Shop it here in rose gold for $388.
PACKING CUBES
I bought a couple of packing cubes almost 6 years ago and I still use them every time I travel. You would be surprised how much more you can get in a suitcase with these! Now I am looking for a full 8-piece set and this travel organizer pack comes with everything - 1 shoe bag, 1 make up bag, 3 different sized cubes, 1 bra/underwear cube and 1 cable tie bag. This is the perfect, affordable gift for someone who travels often and needs a good place to start organizing everything.
Shop it here in 10 different colors, 6 piece or 8 piece set, for $17.99 or $23.99.
AMAZON KINDLE PAPERWHITE
The less a traveler can carry on, the better. Reading is a great way to pass the time while traveling, but carrying books are bulky and heavy. Having multiple books at your fingertips is the way to go! The Kindle paperwhite goes beyond the average Kindle, boasting easier to read screens, waterproof for poolside (or beachside) reading, 8 or 32 GB of memory, and bluetooth compatibility for listening to audible books on your AirPods. This is the perfect travel buddy in a size that won't have you dreading carrying it around.
Shop it here in 4 different colors, 8 GB or 32 GB, for $129.99 or $159.99.
APPLE AIRTAG
Keep one in your backpack, on your key ring, in your purse or on your luggage. This is a great way to find things that are always going missing! And with air travel, it can be hard to trust that your luggage is going to make it to it's destination every time. The Apple AirTag allows you to find lost items by pinging the tag in the Find My app or by looking at the last location of the tag. With precision finding, your phone can direct you right to the AirTag by telling you how many feet away you are and which direction to walk in.
Shop it here, compatible with iPhone 11 and up, starting at $29.
COMPRESSION SOCKS
Hear me out - these can make a great stocking stuffer and are a life saver on long flights. Having to sit on a plane for 8 hours to Hawai'i, or longer when flying overseas, gets irritating and your legs start to cramp up. I throw these compression socks over my leggings and instantly feel relief. I leave them on for about an hour and then I can fly the rest of my trip with out issues.
Shop it here in 16 different colors starting at $9.95.
BEIS HANGING TRAVEL DUFFEL
This duffel can be carried or has a pocket to be stacked with your suitcase while walking around. Pack up this 18"x14" duffel and then unzip to hang once you reach your destination. Great for small spaces and for limited packing. Add packing cubes and transform your entire packing experience!
Shop here for $148.
TRAVEL SPRAY PERFUME SET
Traveling with any liquid is a hassle, regardless of the carry on rule now where you can only have travel size bottles under 3.4 ounces. That is not different when it comes to traveling with perfume - the last thing I want to do is risk the glass break or spilling all over my bag. And it's especially difficult to travel with the awkward bottle sizes that perfume makers sell. Your friend's favorite scent in travel size will be a great gift this holiday season. I store mine at the bottom of my travel purse with absolutely no issue and it takes up very little room. Sephora is great for finding these travel sizes in sprays or roll ons, and even has sets where your friend can sample scents and redeem her favorite in store!
Shop the pictured set here for a $60 value (save $30 by purchasing as a set).
FASHIONABLE HARD PHONE CASE
I have dropped my phone in the airport more times than I care to count. Having a hard phone case and screen protector is an absolute must when traveling. Having a fashionable one is just a plus! This case also comes in designs like tortoise shell, marble, and confetti/mosaic!
Shop it here in 10 different designs for $34.99
