Tech Gifts For Travelers
With remote work and traveling content creators becoming an increasingly popular profession, tech gifts are one of the best gift ideas for travelers.
We have carefully hand-selected each item in this first section of our travelers gift list because we want your travel lover to have exactly what they need.
Some of the first items on this list are expensive, but you can always opt for the cheaper versions to make sure your are staying within your budget.
1. Noise Canceling Headphones
As writers who spend hours on our computers a day, we need to be able to concentrate in any type of environment and that can be a challenge when traveling. But these noise cancelling headphones help us get work done when there are numerous noises and distractions around. We can guarantee the traveler in your life would love a pair to use during their next trip. Bose has been the gold standard when it comes to headphones, but Anker Soundcore are a fabulous cheaper alternative.
2. Wireless Headphones
In addition to large noise cancelling headphones, we also have a smaller pair of wireless headphones. We like using these smaller headphones for the gym, on public transport such as metros or buses and when we need to be a little bit more inconspicuous when traveling. Apple AirPods are extremely popular with over 500,000 reviews, but we have also like Anker Soundcore as a cheaper option.
3. Anker Portable Charger
Travelers today carry an arsenal of electronic devices at all times. Cameras, laptops, phones, drones, tablets, etc. There has never been a more important time to always carry at least one portable power bank charger. Your traveler may encounter areas where finding a charge is difficult so you can gift your adventurer the ability to charge their electronics any time they need it. This Anker Portable Charger is one of the slimmest and most lightweight models available.
4. Surge Protector Extension Cord
While this might seem like a frivolous item, this was one of the best purchases we have made as frequent travelers. Later on this travelers gift list, you will come across an international power adapter which is extremely useful, but if you have to plug in multiple devices with the same outlets, this extension cord is incredibly handy because you won’t need more than one travel adapter. The extension cord also gives us flexibility when we are limited by outlets and the surge protection helps to protect our expensive equipment.
5. Electronics Travel Organizer
As travel photographers, we are always on the go. We need to find multiple chargers and cables very quickly throughout our days. So this dual layer electronics organizer has been amazing when it comes to keeping us organized. We also have the double layer organizer which nicely fits a small table or kindle. This is a cheaper gift idea for a traveling content creator if you are on a budget.
6. International Power Adapter for Travel
Cheap, but oh so effective, the recipient of this travel plug adapter will be prepared for outlets pretty much anywhere they decided to go. We have been using this power adapter for years because it has 4 USB ports so we can plug everything in at once. This item is always the first thing we pack before any trip and a plug adapter is another thoughtful yet cheap gift idea for any type of traveler.
7. AirFly Pro
Help your traveler eliminate the need of carrying around multiple headphones because these AirFly Pros wirelessly transmit audio from in-flight entertainment straight to their noise cancelling or wireless headphones. AirFly Pro has a battery life of 16+ hours which will cover even the longest flight. But if your traveler forgets to charge before take off, AirFly Pro can also be used while charging. Your frequent flyer will thanks you for this travel gift!
8. Atlas VPN
A VPN service is one of the best gifts for travelers because this service will protect their personal information and data while they are connected to public Wifi. We like Atlas VPN because it also gives us access to regional content like BBC iPlayer and US Netflix so we never miss a show at home. Personally, we never travel without a VPN and your traveler will thank you for keeping them safe.
Want to learn more about a VPN? Read our detailed review for Atlas VPN to see why you should consider this service when traveling.
9. WD External Hard Drive
External hard drives are always the perfect gift for travelers. We have three 5TB hard drives each performing its own function. These WD external hard drives are the best value for money and come in 1TB to 5TB size depending on your travelers needs. Use ‘WD Elements’ for windows and ‘WD My Passport’ for Mac. Your traveler will love this thoughtful gift.
>> Buy WD Elements: Amazon
10. Voova Laptop Sleeve
There is no doubt your traveler will be carrying their laptop during their next trip so consider purchasing a rugged VooVa Laptop Sleeve as a travel gift idea. The laptop sleeves by Voova are thick yet soft with an ultra plush velvet lining and when paired with the Peak Design Everyday Backpack, we know our laptops are completely protected. The two front pockets are an added bonus and the easy to carry handle is another great feature.
11. Kindle Paperwhite
If your traveler is an avid reader, a Kindle Paperwhite is the best travel gift. Kristen purchased a Kindle Paperwhite this past year and she won’t go anywhere without it now. The 6.8” display, adjustable warm light, 10 weeks of battery life, and 20% faster page turns makes this model stand out above the rest. Consider the kindle unlimited subscription for access to thousands of books or your traveler can also borrow up to 10 books at a time with an Amazon Prime subscription.
Best Luggage And Airplane Gifts For Travelers
Next up on this best gifts for travelers list are thoughtful luggage and airplane items they will appreciate unwrapping on Christmas morning.
If you are shopping for a travel backpack or suitcase, avoid black because this is the most common colored suitcase option.
However, you want to pick a color that is easily identifiable but doesn’t grab unwanted attention. We always opt for colors such as dark blue or grey to stay below the radar.
Travel Tip: Most modern day suitcase models now have TSA luggage locks already installed into the side or front of the bag so you no longer need to purchase individual locks.
12. Samsonite Travel Suitcase
Frequent travelers can’t beat a solid trusty and reliable suitcase with multi directional wheels. A great suitcase can make travel life so much easier. Samsonite has been an American premium luggage brand for over 100 years. We love Samsonite’s various colors, shapes and sizes to fit any kind of travelers needs. You can usually find great deals on Samsonite throughout the year so be sure to buy in a sale (Samsonite Spinner pictured).
Want a modern suitcase brand? We also love Level8 for their modern day twist on suitcases so don’t miss our Review for Level8 Luggage.
13. Osprey Travel Backpack
When we first started traveling long term, we used a backpack instead of a suitcase. While we now travel with suitcases due to the large amount of photography gear we need, we miss the days of being able to travel light with just a backpack. Osprey has and always will be our go to brand for any type of travel or hiking backpack. You can shop many different colors and sizes for your travel lover gift, but we would recommend the Osprey Farpoint for men and the Osprey Fairview for women.
Interested in Osprey Backpacks? Don’t miss our detailed review featuring the Osprey Farpoint 40 which has traveled with us for years.
14. Osprey Packing Cubes
We like the Osprey brand for its ruggedness and durability. While these packing cubes may be a little bit more expensive compared to other brands, we know they will last through wear and tear as we have been using ours for years. We found three cubes are just what we need, but you can shop for other brands which include different sizes and colors based on your travelers needs.
15. Etekcity Luggage Scale
Help your traveler avoid expensive overweight fees by gifting this Etekcity Luggage Scale. With a capacity for 110lbs or 50kg, your traveler can weigh their suitcase before heading to the airport to ensure they are under the weight limit. This model features a thermometer sensor in both F° and C° so there will be no surprises. The tare and auto-off function also helps to preserve battery.
16. Leather Luggage Tags
One of the best ways to identify a suitcase when traveling is with a unique luggage tag. This simple gift idea is one every traveler will appreciate. These cute luggage tags with the statement ‘and so the adventure begins’ are available in several different colors making you spoiled for choice. We like the steel loops for a secure fit to any suitcase or backpacks as well as the privacy cover which fully hides personal information.
17. Phone Holder Mount
This versatile yet practical Phone Holder Mount for airplanes makes the perfect travel gift idea. The strong clamp can fit anything from an iPhone Mini to an iPhone 14 Pro Max or Samsung Note 20 Plus. Your traveler will be able to choose the best viewing angle on their next flight with the dual joints giving them 360 degrees rotation.
18. Sleeping Bag Liner
Sleeping bag liners are great improvised travel sheets for hotels, hostels and camping. If your traveler will be going on a multi-day hike such as Tour Du Mont Blanc, these sleeping bag liners will be a requirements in many of the mountain huts along the route. But we also like to use our sleeping bag liners for car camping and budget hotels. This is another cheap options when it comes to gifts for travelers.
19. Sea To Summit Dry Bag
This lightweight dry bag is Sea To Summit’s best selling and most versatile pack. A dry bag can be used in many ways, but most people use it when hiking or camping near water. We used this dry bag when hiking the narrows in Zion National Park. The dry bag is available in many different colors and sizes (13L size is pictured). Your traveler will certainly find some use for this dry bag on their next adventure.
>> Buy: Amazon | REI | Sea To Summit

On the face of it (pun intended), an eye mask may not sound like the most glamorous gift idea for a traveler, but we guarantee it will be one of their most used items. If your travel lover will be heading to Asia to conquer the Vietnam Sleeper Bus or taking a long haul overnight flight, this travel gift will be something they rave about to you after their trip.
22. Moldable Ear Plugs
Ear plugs are an essential for any type of traveler and we never travel without them. Forget the one time use foam ear plugs and splurge for the moldable silicone ear plugs. These babies are washable, reusable, waterproof and hypoallergenic to cover any travelers needs. These are certainly one of the best gifts for travelers.
23. Travel Shoe Bags
For the travelers who are germaphobes and like keeping their dirty laundry separate from their clean laundry, gift them a travel shoe bag. These bags are not just great for travel, but you can use them for transporting your shoes to the gym or keeping shoes dust free in a closet. A shoe bag is an all around great stocking stuffer this Christmas season!
24. Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand Sanitizer
For a unique travel stocking stuffer, try Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand Sanitizer. It’s a good idea for travelers to always have a hand sanitizer on hand because you never know what may come your way. We like Dr. Bronner’s Organic Hand Sanitizer for its lavender aroma.
25. After Bite
Bug bites suck, but this product is great for providing instant relief to those nasty itchy bites. It works fast to dull the pain and almost instantly brings down the swelling. If we haven’t sold you yet, After Bite is even pharmacist preferred. We always joke that mosquitos love Mark’s English blood because he can get bitten after being outside for one second. Any traveler should have one of these in their bag!
26. Fujifilm Mini 11 Instax Camera
If you want to give a creative gift to your travel lover, check out the Fujifilm Instax Camera. We like this little camera because its small size means you can take it just about anywhere. The Mini 11 allows the user to automatically select the optimal shutter speed and it can capture bright backgrounds or scenes. Your traveler can also use the 1-touch selfie mode to help document their next trip in a different way.
27. HP Portable Instant Photo Printer
Or if your traveler wants to print photos straight from their smartphone or social media, they will love the HP Sprocket Portable Instant Photo Printer. What makes this little guy unique is there is no expensive ink involved, just glossy sticky back photo paper to make printing photos a breeze. Available in blush pink, black noir, lilac and luna pearl.

Just spritz the bowl, do your business and this spray will block odors before they even begin. The most popular scent is original citrus with lemon, bergamot and lemongrass natural essential oils, but you can shop many different scents.
29. Safety Door Stop
Some places we go to as travelers can be a little suspect and on those occasions it’s nice to have a safety door stop fitted with alarm. Our alarms have thankfully never triggered, but the peace of mind we felt with a door stop was worth its weight in gold. This would be the perfect travel gift for a solo or first time traveler. Available in 1 to 4 packs.
30. LifeStraw
LifeStraw is our go to water purification system for travel or longer hikes as a backup water filter.

Having tried many different styles of laundry bags over the years, we like these bags because they are extremely durable and can hold a large amount of clothes.
43. Goodwipes
Wipes are another item travelers should always carry in their travel arsenal. There is no worse feeling then being stuck on a 24 hour overnight bus with no way to clean your sticky hands.
