Travel + Leisure / Alli Waataja

Gifting can be hard — especially when you really want to get it right. Whether the woman you have in mind is already a frequent flier or just beginning her journey, the options are endless.

Some presents can be used while prepping for a trip and others are perfect for long travel days, but we've rounded up products to fuel every type of wanderlust. Our list has the best picks for documenting adventures and filling any downtime, along with ideas for everyone from fashion lovers to the ultimate light packers. Not only did we search high and low to find thoughtful, foolproof gifts for women who love to travel, we rounded up some of the favorite items we tested — and love — ourselves, too.

Dagne Dover Ace Neoprene Fanny Pack

Dagne Dover

Fanny packs are practically designed for hands-free travel. After testing dozens of belt bags firsthand, Dagne Dover's Ace Fanny Pack was a clear winner. The thick, scuba-like material is protective and durable yet lightweight and comfy to wear around the waist or as a crossbody sling. Not only that, but spilled coffee and raindrops rolled right off without leaving a mark. The compact size, multiple pockets, and hands-free design make it a great choice for trips. We love the modern, monochrome aesthetic, too.

Pottery Barn Mckenna Personalized Jewelry Binder

Pottery Barn

Travel jewelry cases offer a solution to thoughtfully packing your accessories. We tried 25 jewelry cases of all shapes and sizes from various brands, and the Mckenna Jewelry Binder was an all-around winner. Reminiscent of a leather clutch wallet, the slim zippered design opens up to reveal designated pockets and fasteners for necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings. You can bet it'll keep your jewelry secure and tangle-free — nothing budged when we gave it a rigorous shake.

Raen Keera Sunglasses

One must-have item no woman should ever travel without is a good pair of sunglasses . We tested over 20 pairs of popular, highly-rated women's shades and the Keera Sunglasses stood out in all areas, including quality, appearance, fit, performance, and overall value. They held up very well through six months of daily use. The subtle cat-eye shape is undoubtedly stylish but not over the top, so you can wear them with any outfit. Plus, they're extremely comfortable — no nose-pinching or ear-tugging. The slim, protective case is also ideal for traveling, as it fits in any purse or bag.

Outdoor Research Aspire Super Stretch Jacket

After lab-testing nearly two dozen rain jackets and using them for six months in real-life settings, this Aspire Super Stretch Jacket was an overall winner. The notably lightweight raincoat passed our waterproof test with flying colors, absorbing no moisture and keeping us totally dry. It's also breathable to prevent overheating when you're on the move. What's more, the Aspire Jacket folds or rolls up compactly, making it easy to fit in a bag or suitcase.

Reef Water Vista Sandals

Whether you're surfside or poolside, comfortable beach sandals are essential. The T+L team tested over 60 pairs to find the best ones. Though we liked several of them, the Reef Water Vista came out on top. With bouncy yet supportive footbeds, these ultra-comfy, warm-weather shoes feel like walking on clouds. And the adjustable ankle straps help them stay securely on your feet without flopping around. Just the thing for the beach or pool, Water Vistas are also fully waterproof.

Coyuchi Mediterranean Organic Towel

After testing many Turkish towels poolside and on the sand, Coyuchi's Mediterranean Organic Towel stood out from the rest. The long-staple cotton fibers and textural weave make it extra-absorbent and fast-drying, not to mention soft and cozy. You can wrap the slightly oversized design around you like a blanketit’s but, thanks to the flat weave, this towel also rolls up tightly for easy packing .

Beis The Cosmetics Case

Keep your beauty products organized when you're away from home in a travel makeup case . We put over two dozen portable makeup carriers to the test and loved this one from Béis the most. It's compact yet spacious, with various pockets, slots, and pouches inside for organizing your cosmetics. The hard sides ensure products don't get crushed when you pack it in a suitcase or weekender bag. There's also a handy mirror that comes out and sits upright on a flat surface for on-the-go application and touch-ups.

Jenny Patinkin Dual-Ended Makeup Brush Set

Jenny Patinkin

Any regular makeup wearer will appreciate new makeup brushes. We like this high-end set from Jenny Patinkin. It includes six dual-ended brushes, effectively doubling the number of makeup tools without taking up any more space in a cosmetics case. Made of recycled materials with animal-free bristles, these brushes are also vegan and eco-friendly. And they come in a sleek faux leather zippered case.

LeSportsac Deluxe Everyday Bag

Large enough to fit more than just the essentials but not so big that it's in the way, LeSportsac's Deluxe Everyday Bag is the ideal mid-size purse for travel. It has two main compartments, one internal pocket, and two exterior zippered pockets and comes with a matching removable pouch. Beyond your phone, wallet, keys, and sunglasses, you can stash a small tablet or eReader, a travel notebook, a camera, a charger, a powerbank, snacks — you name it.

T3 Afar Travel Size Hair Dryer

Bloomingdale's

Hotels and rental homes usually have hair dryers, but if the woman you have in mind is particular about her hair routine, she might like bringing her own. The travel-friendly T3 Afar is smaller than the brand's full-size models but just as powerful, with three heat settings and two speeds. It's lightweight and compact with a foldable handle for fuss-free packing, plus the auto dual voltage means she can use it while traveling abroad.

lululemon Align High Rise with Pockets 25”

The leggings we all know and love — but with pockets. Lululemon's fan-favorite Align Pants are made with the brand's buttery-soft, immensely stretchy Nulu fabric, which feels like you're wearing nothing while still providing full coverage to ensure it's never see-through. This pair has a hidden back pocket on the upper waistband, plus two side pockets big enough for a smartphone.

Calpak Luka Duffel Bag

Pretty much anyone can use a weekender. We're particularly fond of Calpak’s Luka Duffel — and not just because of the trendy puffer-style design. This surprisingly lightweight yet incredibly spacious bag has a massive main compartment, a separate shoe compartment underneath, and multiple pockets throughout. It can go in the overhead bin on a plane or be used as an underseat bag. There's even a trolley sleeve for sliding it over the handle of a suitcase.

Samsonite Freeform Carry-on Spinner

Every frequent-flyer or minimalist traveler can appreciate well-designed carry-on luggage . We tested upwards of 150 carry-ons, and the Samsonite Freeform is a reigning champ. This smooth-gliding spinner maneuvers effortlessly on two or four wheels. It's compact yet spacious, easily fitting enough clothes for a four-day trip, and you can use the expander to add a couple of inches to the depth. We also appreciate all the organizational features and the sleek appearance.

Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler

The ​​Stanley Quencher isn't simply popular — it's a viral sensation . This travel mug not only keeps drinks cold or hot for several hours, but it's remarkably durable with a sturdy base narrow enough to fit in any car's cup holder. The large size makes it easy to hit your daily hydration goals, while the rotating leakproof lid allows you to sip multiple ways. If your giftee doesn't already have one, she'll quickly become a convert.

Chaco Ramble Puff Clog

Chaco's Ramble Puff Clog can be worn on travel days (whether on a flight or road trip) and while padding around your vacation rental, après-ski, or hanging out at home. These indoor-outdoor shoes have supportive footbeds, cozy fleece linings, sleeping bag-inspired quilted nylon uppers, and grippy outsoles that can handle quick jaunts outside.

Ostrich Pillow Go Neck Pillow

Many consider the Ostrichpillow Go Neck the queen of travel pillows. The 360-degree design supports the neck from all directions, preventing a bobbing head and back strain when sleeping in an upright position — even on international flights spanning 12 or more hours. What's more, the memory foam compresses down to about half the full size for compact packing and storage.

Helly Hansen Verglas Down Insulator Jacket

Helly Hansen

A packable down jacket is all but essential when traveling to a cold climate and we especially like this one from Helly Hansen. This ultra-warm, light-as-air coat is filled with responsibly sourced European goose down and feathers, and the exterior has a DWR (durable water-repellent) treatment to keep moisture out. The Verglas Jacket has an inner chest pocket, plus a built-in pouch to stuff the compressible design for packing.

Beats Fit Pro Noise Canceling Earbuds

Beats Fit Pro Earbuds are an excellent gift for travel lovers. These wireless Bluetooth headphones boast true noise-canceling technology, blocking all external sounds and delivering crisp, balanced audio. They come in several chic colors, including three neutral hues from Kim Kardashian's collaboration with the brand. Plus, the flexible wingtips help them fit comfortably and securely in smaller ears.

Cozy Earth The Plush Modern Crew Sock

Cozy Earth makes some of the softest, most luxurious bedding and loungewear on the market. The brand's taller socks made it on Oprah's Favorite Things in 2021. They're great for cuddling up at home, but if you ask us, this set is a better option for travel and year-round use. These socks are made of the same stretchy ribbed material but with a slightly sportier and more versatile crew length.

Athleta Venice Jogger

Athleta's Venice Joggers are made for women who love to travel. The lightweight fabric is breathable, sweat-wicking, and quick-drying, while the extra-wide and stretchy mid-rise waistband fits your midsection without digging in or riding down. These pants are a go-to for daytime excursions, whether it's catching a flight, sightseeing, boating, shopping, or urban hiking.

Leatherology Tech Organizer Bag

This tech organizer from Leatherology is a thoughtful gift for women who travel for work and anyone who likes to stay organized on the road. Available in three sizes, the zippered case has a mesh storage pocket and elastic loops for keeping cords, earbuds, adapters, power banks, and other small gadgets secure. You might also appreciate that it comes in a wrappable box so it’s instantly ready to gift.

Monos Toiletry Case

The Metro Toiletry Case has multiple pockets inside and out for keeping things like shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, and skincare organized and accessible. We like that the water-resistant design is available in several colors, including nylon and vegan leather options. Since it comes in two sizes, you might consider getting a small and large case to give as a matching set — one for makeup and one for personal hygiene products.

Unbound Merino Travel Dress

Unbound Merino's Travel Dress is made primarily of merino wool, with a small amount of nylon and extra spandex for durability and stretch. Naturally antimicrobial wool kills the bacteria that cause odor, so you don't have to clean it as often. Since this dress can be worn a few times between washes and dressed up or down for different occasions, you can pack fewer items on your next trip.

ShiftCam SnapGrip Creator Kit

If your special someone is a photographer, videographer, or travel blogger, she'll get lots of use out of the SnapGrip Creator Kit. The bundle includes the SnapGrip, a magnetic battery grip with a wireless shutter button that makes a smartphone feel like a traditional camera. It also comes with the SnapLight LED ring light and the SnapPod, a tripod with a selfie stick handle. This set can be used with all mobile devices, including iPhones, Androids, and tablets.

Polaroid Hi-Print Pocket Phone Printer

The Polaroid Hi-print is a stellar gift for wanderlusts and amateur photographers. This mini printer is small enough to fit in a purse, sling bag, or back pocket. It connects to smartphones via Bluetooth and prints 2x3 color photos with peelable adhesive backings. For extra thoughtfulness points, consider getting a paper cartridge and the matching case as well.

Cadence The Originals Set

These leakproof, airtight containers are designed for skincare-conscious travelers who want to use their go-to products rather than a random assortment of travel-sized cosmetics (and also minimize waste with the reusable design). Cadence Capsules feature a honeycomb shape and magnetic sides, so they stack together and take up as little luggage space as possible. If you're searching for a thoughtful personalized travel gift , this is a great option.

Spanx AirEssentials Turtleneck Tunic

The AirEssentials Tunic from Spanx was made with travel in mind. This endlessly versatile top has a sophisticated turtleneck and a longer length for extra coverage in the front and back. It's made of a luxuriously soft and stretchy spacer fabric , which has a thick, three-dimensional quality and a light-as-air feel.

Troubadour Ember Backpack

Every avid traveler needs a nice backpack. This one from Troubadour is a stellar choice for women. The lightweight, mid-size design is big enough to fit a 16-inch laptop yet small enough that it won't get in the way during a day trip. Padded straps make it comfortable to carry, and a trolley sleeve can slide over a suitcase handle to consolidate luggage.

Away The Insider Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are useful for overpackers and light packers alike. They're designed to compress your clothes to cut down on space while helping travelers keep everything organized in categories. This set from Away is made of water-resistant nylon with breathable mesh panels to prevent musty smells and make it easy to find all your stuff.

Have Some Fun Today Crown Print Bucket Hat

Have Some Fun Today

This bright, printed bucket hat will speak to trendy travelers with a playful sense of style. But it's more than a fashion statement. The wide brim helps shield the face from the sun's damaging rays. And in the event of unexpected precipitation, it'll keep raindrops off your face while the waxed canvas repels water.

Nimble Champ Portable Charger

At 3 inches long and barely more than 2 inches wide, this portable charger is smaller than a deck of cards. But, despite the tiny size, it can do big things. The Nimble Champ can bring a smartphone battery from zero to 80 percent in just a half-hour. It can also charge two devices at once, which, as frequent travelers know, can be crucial when you're away from home.

Catherine Gee Symi Dress

Catherine Gee

Catherine Gee's Symi Dress is the epitome of laid-back luxury. The easy-breezy design is breathable and flowy with a stunning sunset-inspired colorway. This full-length frock could go over a swimsuit for a resort wear look or be dressed up with heeled sandals for a night out in a warm-weather locale instead.

Babbel Premium Gifts

Learning a new language isn't always easy (or convenient) for adults, but it can make traveling to other countries a much more enriching experience. The Babbel app is a subscription-based system that helps people learn new languages from their smartphones. Multiple packages are available for gifting, like the Premium pass, which offers access to all 14 available languages.

Cuyuna Packable Ecuador Hat

UV protection is vital when traveling to a hot, sunny climate. Beyond sunscreen, a wide-brimmed hat can help safeguard your skin from the sun's damaging rays. Straw hats often get crushed in transit, but this flexible, resilient one from Cuyana is designed specifically for packing in a bag or suitcase.

This Is J Swing Tank High Waisted Harem Set

This matching set can be worn as pajamas, loungewear, or even resort wear while on vacation. The supremely soft and breathable fabric is woven from bamboo-derived viscose, with just a hint of spandex for added stretch. We also like that each piece is hand-dyed to create stunning variations in the bright, cheery design.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite

If she loves to read, you can't go wrong with the Kindle Paperwhite. This compact, lightweight eReader has a glare-free screen that looks like real paper pages, even in the brightest sunlight. The waterproof design can also withstand a quick immersion in water, so accidentally dropping it in the bath or pool shouldn't be an issue.

Ogio Rise Tote

Ogio's Rise Tote can be slung over your shoulder or carried like a backpack. This hybrid bag has a spacious interior with a designated laptop sleeve, plus a zippered front pocket and cargo netting on the sides. It's the perfect versatile carrier for women on the go.

Electrolux Compact Travel Steamer

An iron isn't always accessible when traveling, plus steaming is gentler on delicate garments. In any case, Electrolux Compact Steamer is the solution to wrinkled clothes when you're on the road. Just 8 inches tall and 4 inches wide, it takes up minimal space in a suitcase. This baby steamer works quickly to smooth creases and eliminate puckers from fabrics, and the long power cord provides flexibility when outlets are scarce.

Via Carota Espresso Martini

Via Carota is an Italian trattoria in Manhattan's West Village known for its apéritifs. Whether your giftee is familiar with the restaurant or has never been to NYC, this premixed espresso martini is sure to delight. The blend contains distilled vodka and real brewed espresso — just add a martini glass and serve cold.

Bombay Hair 5 in 1 Curling Wand Set

Bombay Hair

This five-in-one curling wand set is a perfect gift for the gal known for her amazing head of hair who can't decide what hot tools to pack. It has interchangeable barrels of various sizes — she can bring them all or just a couple — plus a 360-degree swivel cord and a dual voltage plug for fuss-free international travel.

Birdie Personal Safety Alarm

The Birdie is a pocket-sized personal alarm made with women's safety in mind. When activated, it emits a super loud siren and a flashing strobe light to deter attackers and alert others of the danger. The user-friendly design is easy to activate and turn off, and it can run the siren for 40 minutes before needing new batteries.

Madewell Leather Carabiner Mini Pouch

This mini pouch from Madewell might not look like much, but it can really come in handy on the road. The zippered enclosure is a perfect size for stashing an ID, credit cards, a hotel key, or cash, while the carabiner can clip to a crossbody bag or belt loop.

L’Occitane Hand Cream Classics 3-Piece Set

L'Occitane is a French toiletries brand known for its luxurious formulas often supplied in five-star hotels like The Four Seasons . This gift set includes three ultra-rich hand creams in the most popular scents. The 1-ounce tubes meet TSA requirements for carry-on creams and liquids, and they're the ideal mini size to keep in a purse, backpack, or sling bag.

Vacation Sun Belt Sampler

Vacation is a brand that leans into the nostalgia of 1980s sun-tanning but with a healthier, preventative approach. The Sun Belt Sampler includes mini sizes of the popular retro-inspired products. We're talking SPF 30 lotion, SPF 50 spray, SPF 30 baby oil, and after-sun aloe vera gel, all within a clear zippered pouch.

Georgie & Lou The Traveler Bag

Georgie & Lou

Pickleball players will appreciate this bag, but any traveler can use the sporty, practical design. It has a sizable interior with several zippered pockets inside and out. The adjustable, removable straps allow you to carry it multiple ways, and the trolley sleeve can slide over a suitcase handle to consolidate luggage at the airport .

Philips One by Sonicare Rechargeable Toothbrush

This electric toothbrush is no bigger than a manual toothbrush, so you don't have to sacrifice oral care for suitcase space. It runs on a rechargeable battery, which charges with a USB cable, and lasts at least a month before needing to be recharged. Getting a set of matching replacement heads is a pro move for this gift.

Yogasleep Travelcube Sound Machine

Barely bigger than the palm of your hand, the Yogasleep Travelcube takes up hardly any luggage space. This mini sleep companion machine has six soothing sounds (including both white noise and lower-pitched brown noise). The conveniently cordless design is powered by a rechargeable battery and charged with the included USB cable.

Totes Umbrella

Totes makes great travel umbrellas, but we're especially keen on this clear design. The totally transparent canopy will protect her hair and makeup from the elements while allowing her to see what's in front of her. This packable, functional umbrella is less than a foot long when folded up and only weighs a pound.

Je Mérite Silk Wrap Robe

Made of 100 percent silk charmeuse, this luxe robe from Je Mérite has an extra-soft, lightweight quality that doesn't feel too thin. The double-breasted wrap design falls just below the knee on most women, and the long bell sleeves add a posh touch. Besides relaxing in a hotel room or doing a self-care routine at home, it can be paired with a strappy heel and worn as a flirty going-out dress.

Apple AirTag

If your loved one's luggage gets lost or stuck at another airport, she'll be glad to have the Apple AirTag. This teeny travel gadget is no bigger than a quarter and can be attached to or placed inside any suitcase, purse, or other gear. The location can be monitored and tracked from an iPhone for quicker retrieval and peace of mind.

Fenty Skin Travel Size Start'r Set

This skincare bundle from Fenty includes four of the brand's greatest hits. You'll get the makeup-removing cleanser, the toner-serum hybrid, and the sheer moisturizer with SPF 30 — all in TSA-approved, travel-sized containers — plus a sample pack of the whipped body cream.

Therabody Theragun Mini

Relieving stiff muscles on the go is easy with the Theragun Mini. This travel-size massage gun uses percussive pulses to alleviate pain and soreness. Measuring roughly 5 x 5 inches and weighing only a pound, it's smaller and lighter than the first-generation Mini.

Paintbox Press Ons

Paintbox Press Ons are ideal for on-the-go manicures. This ready-to-wear nail set comes with various nail sizes to ensure the right fit for each finger, plus both brush-on glue and quick-change gel tabs for easy application and removal, whether you want to wear them for two days or two weeks. They're also reusable, so one set will last a while.

Foreign Fare Wrap Me Up Dress

Foreign Fare

Made from a sleek, wrinkle-resistant fabric, the Wrap Me Up Dress is the perfect addition to any travel wardrobe. Not only can it be easily dressed up or down, there are roomy seam pockets on each side to stash essentials. However, the real reason we love this as a gift for any travel-loving woman is the bonus, hidden zippered pocket underneath the front wrap which is the perfect place to stash extra cash, a passport, or anything else that should be kept secure on the go.

Shark FlexStyle System

The Shark FlexStyle is the ultimate travel-friendly hair tool since it comes with various attachments to style your hair in different ways. From voluminous curls to beachy blowouts, the FlexStyle comes with two auto-wrap barrels, an oval brush, a paddle brush, and a concentrator along with the main blow dryer device. The FlexStyle also takes up way less space in a suitcase than if you were to travel with separate hair tools, so it makes a great gift for the beauty and travel enthusiast.

Lunya washable silk pajama set

Washable silk pajamas? Say no more. For the traveler who could use a little luxury in their life, Lunya's matching set—which we've raved about time and time again—will get plenty of use at home and on vacation.

Dreamegg White Noise Machine

This sound machine fits into the palm of a hand and weighs less than five ounces. It's perfect for travelers with small children or who find it hard to fall sleep in new environments. It has a rechargeable USB battery, features 21 different sounds, and has an easy-to-use timer setting.

Ashya Passport Bolo

For those who like to travel light, the Passport Bolo from Ashya is an adjustable, hand stitched leather passport necklace made with 14K gold-plated hardware. It can be worn as across the chest like a slingbag or around the neck like a lanyard. Use it to hold important cards while traveling or as an everyday wallet .

Ember Travel Mug 2

The charge on this mug can last up to three hours, but lasts all day when combined with the charging coaster. When left unattended, it automatically goes into sleep mode, but can keep the cup warm for up to two hours with the help of its thermal hardware.

Sleepy Ride Airplane Footrest

We could wax poetic about what our office has dubbed “the foot hammock,” but it all comes down to this : for those roughly 5'7" and under, it'll transform your in-flight economy experience. Sling it around your tray table and enjoy stretching out your legs (or curling up to sleep) throughout your next flight.

Ralph Lauren Cable Cashmere travel set

This Ralph Lauren travel set is a travel accessory you'll use again and again. It comes with a large shawl that can be used as a blanket, a small pillow, and a soft eye mask—all made from cashmere.

Zendure mini portable charger

For frequent travelers, a small, lightweight portable charger is truly a must-have. The Supermini portable power bank is extremely slim, durable, and is compatible with USB-A, USB, and USB-C ports.

Rifle Paper Co. AirTag luggage tag

If your giftee has gotten on the AirTag train this year, they’ll appreciate this handy luggage tag, designed to hold said tag and look aesthetically pleasing while doing so. The garden party print will add a Bridgerton-meets-cottagecore vibe to their suitcase, and the AirTag compartment is detachable, making it even more versatile.

Bellroy Tech Kit

Every organized traveler needs a good tech kit. We like Bellroy's for its many pockets and loops that will fit any size cord and offer a safe place to stash AirPods, portable chargers, and work-from-anywhere accessories like a mouse or Wi-Fi extender.

Dagne Dover Seoul Dopp kit

Ahead of the holidays, Dagne Dover released a new slate of items in its eco-friendlier collection. The Seoul Dopp kit, much like the rest of the collection, is made from 100 percent recycled polyester while the interior is made from a spill-proof recycled poly lining.

Canada Goose Trillium Parka Heritage

For winter travel, a thick, packable coat is a necessity. The Canada Goose Trillium parka is built for extreme cold but is by no means bulky, and actually has a slimming effect. It has a chin guard to protect the neck from cold air, interior pockets, and a hoodie with removable trims, giving your giftee some style options.

Comrad Knee High Ombre compression socks

Socks have a reputation as a boring gift option, but for travelers, these ones are an actually thoughtful pick. Comrad is known for bringing comfort and style to the world of compression socks, which are designed to help regulate swelling and keep the blood pumping through the legs. They're perfect for long flights, road trips, or just walking around sightseeing.

AeroPress coffee maker

The AeroPress coffee and espresso maker is perfect for coffee lovers who can't go without their morning cup. It's durable, shatter-proof, and fits compactly into a backpack . It's easy to use and easier to clean, making it a must-have for travelers.

Pak Réve The Wilder Bundle

Trying to make it out of the house as a new parent can be stressful to stay the least. The Wilder Bundle, designed by Traveler contributor Jordi Lippe-McGraw , can fit everything you need and more. On the exterior, we see a full-size backpack, but its included attachments—a mini backpack, wristlet, and insulated lunchbox—easily snap off to lighten your load when you don't need them, or to be used separately.

Parks by Brian Kelley

From intricately drawn brochures and eye-catching advertisements emerges a collection of over 400 designs produced by the United States National Park Service over the last century, compiled into a giftable portfolio by photographer Brian Kelley.

Shinola The Canfield Sport

The Shinola Canfield Sport watch is a timeless piece of jewelry that can withstand whatever life throws at it. It features a stainless steel outer case and bracelet with a gunmetal finish making it extremely durable. Its sportier look is perfect for casual wear but the black finishing makes it easy to dress up.

Filson x Chris Stapleton Traveller Bag

Country music star Chris Stapleton recently collaborated with Filson on the Traveller collection that features both clothing and travel gear. One of the standout pieces is the rereleased archived duffel. The Traveller Outfitter Bag is one of Stapleton’s favorites and we understand why: It has an adjustable shoulder strap, a large main compartment for a few days' worth of clothing, and a comfortable leather grip handle. The leather on the handle won’t transfer any color and with each wear, the leather gets softer.

Browit silk sleeping bag

This silk sleeping bag sack gives a subtle glamping touch to any camping trip. The sleeping bag liner can be put into a sleeping bag for added comfort, or placed on top of a blow-up mattress or even a hotel bed. It comes with a drawstring bag that makes it easy to store and pack.

Simo Solis Portable Hotspot

When it comes to working outside of your home, we all know how unstable Wi-Fi can be. Instead of struggling through Zoom meetings on an Airbnb’s outdated router or a hotel on a crowded line, invest in your own hotspot. This one has a better bandwidth than the one you find on your phone, lasts longer, and won't run down your phone battery.

Collapsible Food Tent

This is an ideal gift for those who love to host outdoor get-togethers. Each tent is handwoven with long-lasting sinamay abaca fiber. It can easily be placed over trays, bowls, plates, and cups to keep bugs out of the food.

Béis The Expandable Pouch

Versatile is the best way to describe The Expandable Pouch from Béis. It transforms from a fanny pack into a sleek, lightweight backpack, with plenty of space to fit must-haves for a whole day. It's great for trips with packed itineraries, and when you find yourself picking up items throughout the day.

Aman x 111Skin nourishing gold algae eye mask

Perfect for the skincare routine queens on your list, these eye masks blend the expertise of Aman and 111Skin. A set comes with eight Nourishing Gold Algae Eye Masks to hydrate and brighten the under-eye area. They’ll come in handy after long-haul flights, or just the post-holiday drive home.

Té Company Tea set

The Formosa tea set is a perfect starter bundle for those looking to expand their tea palate. It has seven different blends and includes detailed instructions on the tea-making process to guide your giftee toward the perfect cup.

Four Seasons velvet slippers

Slippers are a no-fail gift option for pretty much anyone on your list, and this velvet style from Four Seasons will bring a touch of luxury to their day. The elastic back makes them easy to slip on and off, and the recycled rubber sole adds some durability to them.

Oui The People Body Renewal set

Oui The People has been bringing some heat to the skincare world, with formulas that produce an unmatched glow. The brand's holy trinity includes the new Clean Slate body wash, Cheat Sheet body exfoliant, and Featherweight body oil. The trio work together to achieve visibly smoother, brighter, and more hydrated skin.

Sony WH-1000XM4 Wireless Headphones

Noise-canceling headphones can improve any journey, whether they're blocking out a snoring plane neighbor or immersing you in movie after movie on a long car ride. This popular option from Sony offers multi-device Bluetooth pairing, so you can connect to two devices at once and switch between them seamlessly.

Kindle Paperwhite

Amazon’s best-selling, waterproof Kindle Paperwhite is perfect for bookworm travelers—its battery lasts for weeks, it can hold more than 2,000 e-books, and the adjustable warm lighting emulates actual book pages.

Verloop trio colorblock knit touchscreen gloves

Add some fun to a practical gift with these colorblock touchscreen gloves from Verloop. The nano-metallic knit fingertips allow you to keep using your phone without sacrificing warmth—ideal for winter travel, especially on days when you’re relying on Google Maps to get around.

Malin + Goetz Essential Starter Kit

This is the ideal stocking stuffer for the traveler who is always squirreling away shampoo and body wash minis from hotels. They'll be treated to a full swath of toiletries—face cleanser and moisturizer, body wash and lotion, shampoo, and conditioner—all with the delicious scents Malin + Goetz is known for.

Pi7 S2 Wireless earbuds

Bowers & Wilkins have created an industry first: a wireless audio retransmission case, so you no longer have to worry about swapping out your headphones on the plane to enjoy in-flight entertainment. Simply plug each end of the included audio cable into the case and seatback console for up to five hours of crystal clear audio.

Shinola denim duffle

The denim duffel is Shinola Detroit's spin on an American classic. It's made from American denim and reimagines the brand's traditional cotton duffel with a more elevated flare. Accompanied by a striped band, you can carry it as a crossbody, over the shoulder, or opt to tuck the strap in and use the elegant arched handles.

Patagonia Provisions roasted garlic mackerel

Upgrade your outdoorsy traveler's camping meals with anything from Patagonia Provisions. We're fans of the brand's tinned fish , and especially this tender, garlicky mackerel. A single can makes a great stocking stuffer, but if you're shopping for a full-on seafood lover, splurge on the Tinned Seafood Sampler Box .

Lyft Gift Card

Calling Lyfts while traveling can quickly add up; a gift card helps take the pressure off any back and forth over whether a car is worth it or not, making it a great gift for younger travelers heading out on group trips or gap years. Another perk: Lyft's partnership with Delta means SkyMiles members can earn miles with each ride.

Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole mini hip pack

We love a good fanny pack here at Traveler , and Patagonia's is ideal for any frequent hikers (or bikers) on your gift list. Given its size—it stuffs into its own small pocket when not in use—and light weight (3.5 ounces), it's great to throw into your suitcase to use on city trips, too.

Apollo Walker picnic backpack bag

This all-in-one picnic fits comfortably inside a backpack and includes everything one could imagine: a set of stainless steel knives, forks, spoons, dinner plates, napkins, and wine glasses, just to name a few. As the cherry on top, it comes with a waterproof blanket.

Oak Essentials Mini Routine

Fancy skincare products are always welcome, especially when they come in a travel-size set that means you don’t have to rely on whatever’s in the hotel or Airbnb. This set, which comes with complimentary gift-wrapping, comes with the five products that make up Oak Essentials’ routine: a cleansing balm, balancing mist, ritual oil, moisture rich balm, and restorative mask.

Yellowstone National Park magnet

Like Parks Project , another  Traveler -favorite company for gifts for outdoorsy pals, The Landmark Project creates national park-themed gear that raises money to preserve outdoor spaces. These national park magnets make great stocking stuffers, and if you purchase something from the  Smokey Bear collection , 10 percent will go to the US Forest Service. 

Away The Bigger Carry-On

When it comes to luggage, Away is a solid choice—you can find this bag and many other Away styles in the closets of many a Traveler editor. Treat the graduate, new traveler, or family member in need of a suitcase upgrade to this larger-than-average carry-on.

Amalfi Coast coffee table book

Perfect for the traveler who just moved, or is in the middle of redecorating, this Assouline coffee table book will add a splash of color to any living room. Inside, there is plenty of eye candy and details on the 13 towns that comprise the Amalfi Coast.

Inside, you'll find ideas for beachy escapes, nature parks, food and wine-focused trips, even pet-friendly vacations. Also mixed in: helpful insights like wheelchair-friendly beaches to visit in the U.S.

Allbirds Tree Dasher

Traveler readers went wild for Allbirds' first running shoe when it debuted in 2020 , and again when a higher-ankle version was released last year. Share the wealth of comfortable kicks this holiday season—they come in nearly a dozen colors, are lightweight and pack down well, and look sufficiently non-sporty enough to wear throughout a trip, not just while exercising. (For those who live in cold-weather climates, the newer Wool Dasher Mizzles are a good option, too.)

Noshinku refillable pocket hand sanitizer (three-pack)

A practical, but extremely useful travel accessory: hand sanitizer. Noshinku gets bonus points for its slim profile, aesthetically pleasing colors, and refillable design. File this under gifts that will most definitely be used.

1Mii Bluetooth 5.0 adapter

Sometimes, the best gifts are the most practical. This pocket-size Bluetooth transmitter lets you watch in-flight entertainment with your AirPods, or any other cordless headphone you may use. Never stress about forgetting that second pair of earbuds again.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask

A favorite of Traveler editor Meaghan Kenny, this popular lip balm makes for another great stocking stuffer or gift set inclusion. Use it at bedtime, in the morning, or mid-flight to hydrate dry, flaky lips.

Nodpod eye mask

An eye mask is a light sleeper's travel essential, and Nodpod took things up a notch by creating a weighted version. Best for long-haul flights where you'll be in a lay-flat seat, or to use in bed—the mask can be secured with its pull-through slit, but is best used simply draped over your eyes—it adds a bit of weight to your eyes, promoting a deeper, more restful sleep.

Alex Mill The Perfect Weekday Tote

Every traveler needs a solid tote to bring on road trips and use as a personal item. This Alex Mill bag gets the job done and has a classic look they won't tire of. It fits up to a 13” laptop, plus all the other essentials: phone, keys, wallet, water bottle, snacks, the works.

Lay-n-Go drawstring toiletry bag

Travelers who are also regulars at Sephora or Ulta will appreciate this cool makeup bag : Instead of having to dump out all your products to find what you're looking for, the bag opens up by way of drawstrings, and can be laid out as a circle on any surface, allowing every product to be on display.

Mountain Valley Train Puzzle

The 1,000-piece puzzle, made out of other recycled puzzle boards, is based on the artwork of Lars Stewart. This super-detailed piece captures a scenic ride through the Arizona desert with illustrations of wildlife, maps, recognizable travel gear, and more.

Ceremonia The Scalp Power-Duo

Ceremonia is a favorite of many Traveler editors, and this haircare set will turn any giftee into a fan. It comes with a scalp massager and scalp remedy oil—use the former to distribute the latter evenly and gently exfoliate the scalp.

You're either a journal person or you're not, but if you are, you know you can never have too many notebooks on hand. This pretty Papier pad will be a welcome addition to the stack, and is customizable: choose lined, plain, or dotted sheets, and either a hard or soft cover.

Go Neck Pillow

Ostrichpillow makes a whole bunch of nap-friendly designs , but we're partial to the classic Go Neck pillow for long-haul flights or lengthy road trips. It is made with a supportive (and compressive) memory foam, and has a Velcro close for an easily adjustable fit. Plus, it comes with a carrying case.

Béis The Weekender Bag

A real text I got from a friend after writing about this Béis weekender : “BÉIS CONVERT FOREVER. You did not oversell this. Truly a miracle.” It has plenty of room inside for clothes, accessories, and toiletries, and a bottom compartment for shoes, dirty clothes, or anything else you want to keep separate.

Welly Adventure Kit

Slip this into the stocking of any thrill-seeking , accident-prone traveler. It comes with all the essentials—more than 50 bandages, tape, butterfly strips, antibiotic packets, hydrocortisone packets, Ibuprofen—in a compact, easy-to-stash kit.

Mzoo contoured sleep mask

A good sleep mask is a travel essential for overnight flights. This one is made of memory foam and has raised sections over your eyeballs for added comfort, but lies flat around the nose and eyebrows to thoroughly block out light.

Ugg Scuffita slide slipper

Shopping for a homebody? Consider these shearling-lined Ugg slippers, made for lounging around the house (or hotel, or Airbnb) in peak comfort and style.

Upoy charging station

This multi-port charging station is a gift for the whole family—or for one very tech-obsessed traveler who need to juice up a phone, AirPods, smart watch, and Kindle all at once.

Mansur Gavriel Soft Lady Bag

A re-imagination of Mansur Gavriel's popular Lady Bag, the Soft Lady Bag was released to celebrate the original's five-year anniversary. It's softer and slouchier than its predecessor, meaning it'll pack down better in your suitcase. With room for daily essentials (a phone, wallet, keys, earphones, and even an iPad) and interior compartments to keep you organized, it's a polished crossbody you'll use for years to come.

Paravel Packing Cube Quad (set of four)

Paravel's packing cubes—which helped turn Traveler editor Lale Arikoglu into a more organized packer —are a practical gift any traveler will appreciate. They now come in a set of four, with two small cubes, a medium, and a large; for an extra touch, have them personalized with your giftee's initials.

Diptyque Orphéon Eau de Parfum

Diptyque candles are always a welcome gift, but for something a little more unique, go for one of the brand's eau de parfums. This one was formulated to recreate the scent of a ’60s Parisian bar—the woody scent smells great spritzed around the home.

Airbnb gift card

Here at Traveler, we're always on the hunt for the coolest, coziest Airbnbs, whether we're looking for a romantic cabin getaway , a house with a pool , or one that can brighten up our mood with the sheer amount of color found within its four walls. For the travelers in your life who are also keen on staying in a rental, Airbnb gift cards can be purchased in amounts from $25 up to $500, so you can chip in (or cover) their next stay.

Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen

Arguably the most popular sunscreen amongst Traveler editors, this gel-like face SPF blends in easily, leaves no white cast, and feels great on your skin. It'll be a welcome addition to any stocking stuffer or gift set.

Polaroid Hi·Print 2x3 Pocket Photo Printer

Now that we all walk around with high-quality cameras in our pocket, fewer of our photos actually make it to print. This pocket-size printer from Polaroid spits out vibrant 2"x3" photos, so you can instantly hand over that new family portrait to grandma or share physical photos with a travel companion. 

Sabah slip-ons

Comfortable shoes are a hot topic among travelers and these Sabah slip-ons have articles director Lale Arikoglu's stamp of approval . Handmade in Turkey, they come in a range of colors and are long-lasting: “After six years of ownership, my pair is completely intact with the exception of the color, which is slightly fading in a way that, if anything, has only made them look better,” Arikoglu says.

Nixon Wizard Stick Beverage Sling

This is a niche gift, but there's someone on your list who will absolutely love it. Nixon's insulated beverage sling fits six cans at once; they can bring it along to picnics, camping trips, tailgates, or hikes to keep drinks cold and avoid the clunkiness of a tote bag or backpack.

Hinoki Wood Rice Ball Mold

There are food gifts for friends who want a meal or snack that's nearly ready to go right out of the box. Then, there are gifts that require some effort. For the home chef who's looking to expand their cooking skills, gift a new kitchen tool like this rice ball mold, which they can use to shape homemade onigiri.

Gastro Obscura: A Food Adventurer's Guide

Another great coffee table book, Atlas Obscura's new tome is made for travelers who plan their trips around food. Inside, readers will find a  guide to food experiences around the world, with chapters on every continent (including Antarctica!), as well as features on foodies like Tom Carvel, events like the Chicago World Fair,  and “how to try it” tips. Just a few noteworthy inclusions: Jeju Island's free-diving sea women in South Korea, the world's largest edible mushroom in Zambia, and the great fruitcake toss in Colorado.

The Carried Away Convertible Backpack

Sarah Jessica Parker collaborated with Samsonite on this versatile bag, which has since sold out multiple times. It's a jack-of-all-trades—wear it as a backpack, carry it as a tote, or sling it over your shoulder. It comes with a removable clutch and an extra strap to turn the smaller bag into a cross-body. Otherwise, it has all the bells and whistles you'd expect in a travel backpack : luggage sleeve, water bottle pocket, laptop slot, etc.

Bokksu snack box subscription

There is no shortage of subscription boxes out there, but we're particularly fond of the edible ones. Bokksu, a Japanese snack service that recently launched an online Asian grocery store , sends recipients an assortment of sweet and savory snacks, candies, and teas on a monthly basis, sourced from small, family-run businesses in Japan.

Artifact Uprising Color Series Photo Book

Commemorate a special trip with a photo book from Artifact Uprising. Whether it's your first big trip this year or one taken decades ago, your loved ones will appreciate the thought that goes into picking out your favorite memories together.

50 Best Travel Gifts for Her (Unique Ideas for 2024)

Looking for the best travel gifts for her? Even if travel is looking a little different this year, if she loves to jaunt around the world, she’ll love these unique travel gift ideas.

Finding the best travel gifts for her is no easy task. I grew up surrounded by women who travel. And, following every holiday season, I find myself with significantly less hair. I spend the holiday months pulling it all out, trying to find the best travel gift ideas for each of them.

Perhaps the woman in your life in your life is hard to shop for, too. For example, she probably buys herself anything she needs on the road. That’s why I wanted to put together this list of the best travel gifts for women—to inspire some gift ideas you might not otherwise think of.

I’m no expert, so I reached out to one of my favorite ladies (my sister)—who is a world traveler—and who offered me the low-down on some of the best travel gifts for women.

Favorite Travel Gifts for Her

Bluffworks trevi dress.

The Bluffworks Trevi Dress just might be the most stylish travel gift to give your fashion-forward female friend. Ideal for short or long-term trips, the dress is made with odor-wicking and wrinkle-resistant fabric, so it’s easy to toss in your luggage.

And unlike most dresses, the Trevi has six different built-in pockets for your phone, passport, wallet, or anything else she’ll need for her trip. If she loves to travel but also wants to look smart, then the Trevi dress is a must-have in her closet.

Vessi Travel Shoes

All women should have a durable pair of sneakers that are comfortable and stylish. If she’s always complaining about sore feet or blisters, then get her Vessi Travel Shoes. These lightweight knit kicks are great travel gifts for everyday wear.

Best of all, the woven fabric in all Vessi footwear is completely waterproof. Which means she’ll be prepared to endure whatever the weather report throws at her. Whether she’s exploring new cities or hitting up the hiking trail, she’ll have the perfect travel shoes to match. Don’t believe me? Read my full Vessi shoes review!

Peak Design Everyday Tote

Ideal for photographers, the Peak Design Everyday Tote will keep her camera, lenses, and any other accessories or equipment organized wherever she goes.

However, the versatility of these tote bags is why it tops our list as one of the best travel gifts for her. Not only in terms of internal organization, but how it can be styled, too. She can wear it as a tote, a cross-body messenger bag, or even a normal handbag.

And unlike most camera bags, this stealthy tote is low-profile and perfect for everyday use.

LARQ Self-Cleaning Water Bottle

This is easily one of our all-time favorite gifts for travelers. The LARQ Self-Cleaning water bottle is one of the most advanced water purification systems in the world which makes it perfect for travel to far off destinations (or right here at home). Its UV-C light neutralizes 99.9999% of viruses and bacteria, including Salmonella and E. coli.

She’ll get great tasting water, AND she’ll be helping out the environment by ditching single-use plastics in the process. Win, win!

For more information about this water bottle, check out our full LARQ Bottle review .

Tinggly Superwoman Travel Gift Card

Is she a superwoman? (The answer is obviously “YES!”) This Tinggly Superwoman gift box offers the gift of travel, whether she’s an adventurous traveler, a curious soul, or just someone looking to try something new.

With this gift, she’ll be able to choose her next big adventure from 850+ experiences in over 100 countries. This gift never expires, so she can travel whenever she’s ready (and there’s an option to add another person, in case you feel like joining).

There is literally something for everyone here: a canoe trip in Quebec, a perfume-making workshop in France, a floating market tour in Thailand, wine tasting in Napa. You name it, you’ll find it. The only real challenge here will be trying to narrow down all the options! But hey, that’s a good problem to have.

Leatherology Travel Necessities Gift Set

This sophisticated Leatherology Travel Necessities Gift Set comes with a passport holder (with a space to hold tickets), an accessories pouch for all her tech accessories, and a rectangular luggage tag.

Leatherology’s products are made with their signature fine-grain leather, and you can even personalize it with her name. There are six colors in total.

Cabeau Evolution S3 Neck Pillow

People with travel pillows on planes are always the envy of every other passenger. Why not let her be that person?

The Cabeau Evolution S3 Travel Pillow  is the best neck pillow I’ve used, period. That’s why I’m claiming it as the best travel gift for women who travel around the world.

With front and side supports, and the ability to attach it to your headrest, she’ll never wake up during a flight with a permanently crippled neck. It might not seem like much but it’ll revolutionize her travel.

Tile Bluetooth Tracking Device

Not to imply that she’s apt to lose things—but it’s every traveler’s worst fear. The  Tile Pro  attaches to pretty much any item (keys…even a dog’s collar!) or  the slim version  slides into a wallet or passport.

If the woman in your life seems to misplace her valuable items, then this is one of the best travel gifts you could get her.

Integrated Bluetooth allows her to ring her Tile directly from her smartphone. She can locate the last place she had it, or god-forbid, track it down (completely anonymously!) when it passes within range of anyone else in the Tile community. It’s handy during travel on the road or at home.

08left Airport Prints and Posters - Custom Wall Art

For every traveler, there are some special places that stay with us forever. Give her  custom art from 08left  or a set of all her favorite cities or airport codes to keep those travel memories alive every day. These posters will always be reminders for her travel experience.

Travel Gifts for Her Under $50

Harber london leather earphone cord wrap case.

This Leather Earphone Case is one of the best gifts I’ve found this year.

This stylish little organizer is simple and will make it much easier for her to keep her earphones tangle-free. It can also protect her earbuds and prevent damage. As a bonus, it is made with high-quality genuine leather for a bit of classy style.

No more pulling a tangled web of cords out of her pocket or purse! This also makes a fantastic little stocking stuffer.

Aesop Departure Kit

For any lady with a carefully planned out skincare routine, the Aesop Departure Kit should be at the top of their wishlist.

This little kit of luxury travel-sized products covers it all: moisturizer, lip balm, mouthwash, a hydrating face mask, and more.

With all-natural ingredients and incredibly simple-but-stated packaging, this kit is a thoughtful luxury gift…especially for those long-haul flights of the future.

Ouai Anti Frizz Hair Sheets

If frizzy hair is an issue, I promise that these incredibly handy Ouai Anti Frizz Hair Sheets will become her absolute travel must-have.

Think dryer sheets, but for her hair: all she has to do is swipe the sheet down through her hair, and voila! No more static or wild frizz.

They’re easy to pack and come in sizes small enough to tuck into a purse or bag, so quick fixes while in transit are no longer a problem. Plus they’re good for all hair types, from straight to coiled.

Speakeasy Hidden Pocket Travel Scarf

Who knew travel safety could look this good? Speakeasy Hidden Pocket Travel Scarfs make a great gift for travelers because they protect passports and other valuables in the most stylish way possible. They securely store chapsticks, ID cards, house keys, and other small items with hidden, self-locking zippers.

Choose between dozens of colors and patterns to coordinate with any outfit. Speakeasy Travel Scarves come in both lightweight fabrics for summertime or heavy, cozy fabrics for colder weather. For a woman who loves to travel, look no further than these cozy and stealthy gifts!

Lightning USB Cable Tassel

She’ll never have to hunt for her travel charger again or wish she hadn’t checked it in her luggage. With  this decorative tassel , she’s ready to go at the next charging station she comes across.

These small gifts will work just like her normal smartphone charger. But they clip to a purse or keychain so she’ll always have it with her. They make perfect gifts for people who are always misplacing their cords!

Anker PowerCore Slim High Capacity Power Bank

Power banks are lifesavers for people who love to travel. That bus with free WiFi isn’t going to be much fun if your smartphone dies two hours into the journey.

Help her stay fully charged at all times by treating her to an ultra-slim  power bank from Anker . With a high-speed charging system, it provides enough juice to charge her smartphone over two times! And, it’s the perfect size for a stocking stuffer—small enough to fit in her purse or the outside pocket of her luggage.

Aria Travel Kit

The Aria Travel Kit is a small vegan-leather pouch filled with quality, hand-picked products that will easily fit inside her carry-on. These all-natural products include deodorant, solid perfume, lip balm, face and body moisturizer, earplugs, disposable face masks, a pen, a bamboo toothbrush, and more.

Silken Pure Sleep Mask

The Silken Pure Sleep Mask might be the most luxurious sleep mask on the market! It’s made from 100% pure organic silk, making for an ultra-soft material that will actually improve her natural skin hydration and overall health. If she has trouble sleeping on flights (or even in her own bed), she’ll be grateful for this piece of eye candy.

The masks also come in a number of chic colors, like gold and black. It’s one of my favorite ideas on this list.

Carry-On Cocktail Kit

Is there a better experience than concocting a bespoke cocktail than 30,000 ft in the air?  These little pouches of boozy goodness  are delicious gifts, and allow her to whip up two cocktails wherever she is. One for her and one for you. Or both for her.

All she needs is a glass and the requisite alcohol. You can’t go wrong with one of these gifts!

Quip Toothbrush Set

A toothbrush might be an odd travel gift, but oral hygiene is sometimes hard to maintain on the road. It’s great for travel, as the last thing you want on the road is a cavity!

The Quip toothbrush  has been expertly designed with the right sized bristles and perfect level of vibration to make your teeth gleam. The charger is slim-line and the toothbrush is equipped with a timer so you know when you’re done.

BaByliss Pro Travel Dryer

There’s nothing worse than trying to style hair using an old hotel blow dryer. Thanks to the BaBylissPro Travel Dryer , women no longer have to suffer from wet, frizzy hair when traveling! It can be tucked into any purse or suitcase with it’s sleek, compact design and folding handle.

And unlike most travel hairdryers, the BaBylissPro Travel Dryer uses tourmaline titanium technology that leaves hair shiny and frizz-free in just a fraction of the time. This is the perfect travel gift if she wants healthy, happy, and clean hair!

Travel Gift Ideas Under $100

Kindle paperwhite.

If she loves to read, then this is just the thing for her. The Kindle Paperwhite  can easily slide into a purse or even a back pocket. It’s super lightweight and she’ll have more access to more books than she could ever read.

Plus, the ability to easily export notes and highlights to email means she can discretely bring her guidebook along without looking like a tourist. That’s why this is one of the best gifts for travelers. Cute covers also make for great gifts!

Bucketfeet World Map Shoes

Let her show her love of travel on her feet! Bucketfeet collaborates with artists worldwide to design a constantly rotating set of  limited edition shoes . For the lady who loves to travel in comfort and style, these shoes are the perfect gift.

An artist and backpacker collaborated to create this unique, global brand and this pair shows a true sense of wanderlust…reminding us of everything to explore and all the conversations to be had worldwide. And, she’ll be able to show off all the countries she has ever visited.

JBL Flip 4 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

Believe it or not,  this little speaker makes a great gift for travelers .  They’re waterproof, shockproof, and strap on to pretty much anything (it even fits perfectly in a cup holder or backpack water bottle holder), and lasts up to 12 hours—all while providing killer sound.

There are a lot of bluetooth speakers on the market, but this is the best one if you’re looking for travel gift ideas.

23andMe Ancestry Kit

Is she curious to know a little bit more about who she is? Who isn’t? The  23andMe Ancestry Test  will tell her which countries her ancestors lived more than half a millennium ago!

The ancestry test makes really unique gifts for travelers, especially if they’re interested in their heritage and might even be interested in tracing their family’s footsteps. To take it a step further,  upgrade her kit to include a full health report !

Best Travel Gift Ideas for Beauty & Wellness

Cirrhus no. 2 travel steamer.

Here’s a goodie for business travelers/fashionistas: the portable Cirrhus No. 2 Travel Steamer . It’s the most perfect way to keep garments wrinkle-free and fresh.

It folds up into a neat little package that will even fit in your carry-on (without water, of course). It’s particularly useful for her most delicate fabrics, like silk or cashmere.

Manduka eKO SuperLite Travel Yoga Mat

For yogi travel lovers, this is one of the best gift ideas you could get for the traveler in your life. She’ll absolutely love this Manduka eKO SuperLite Travel Yoga Mat .

It has tons of grip, weighs as light as a feather, and is only 1.5mm thick. It rolls up easily like a regular yoga mat, but it can also fold up in a neat little package to toss in a carry-on or suitcase—it’s super easy to pack. She’ll be able to take her yoga or workout practice with her wherever her travels take her.

Serene House Travel Sized Essential Oil Diffuser

Now she can take her aromatherapy on the road with her thanks to the Serene House Travel Size Essential Oil Diffuser .

Just a few drops of essential oils will bring well-being and serenity into her space. And the reason this is one of the best travel gifts for women is that it’s small enough to fit in her carry-on!

Kiehl’s Normal Skin Starter Kit

Any woman who loves to travel should be acquainted with the annoyance that is liquids. It can be a hassle because you need them on the plane, but you can’t take them in your carry-on. This means pouring a splash of everything you need into tiny little containers just for the journey.

The  Kiehl’s Normal Skin Starter Kit  has travel-sized bottles and one of the few travel gifts for her that’ll make life a lot easier. All of the toiletries are already packaged in 100ml containers.

She’ll never have to rummage through her luggage for her liquids, making airport security a breeze from here on out.

Trish McEvoy Makeup Planner

One of our favorite travel gifts for the over-packer with way too many products is  Trish McEvoy’s makeup planner . Smaller than the size of packing cubes (and certainly small enough to fit in her packing cubes), these planners will keep her brushes and palettes organized.

Individual “wardrobing” pages that she can customize with her favorite products snap into this luxurious, petite planner and eliminates the need for lots of individual cases for each of her favorite products.

Beauty by Earth Cooling After Sun Care Spray

Is she a sun goddess traveler? If so, she will absolutely thank you for this all-natural travel-sized After Sun Care Spray .

It minimizes inflammation and pain after spending too much time in the sun thanks to its cooling aloe, peppermint, and chamomile ingredients—it’s like instant relief in a bottle.

Furthermore, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, fragrance-free, and made completely without any unnatural preservatives.

Adventure Travel Gifts for Her

Looking for more adventure travel gifts? Take a look at our list of best gifts for hikers and campers .

Arc’teryx Covert Cardigan

We love a good understated cardigan—especially when that cardigan comes from one of our favorite brands, Arc’teryx. The Covert Cardigan has modern sweater styling with clean lines but lots of advanced design features, like breathable materials that help to regulate temperature.

It’s the perfect fall jacket that can be worn while out for an evening walk or while running errands around town. Made with Alpenex II™ heathered fleece, she’ll stay toasty and warm no matter where she is

YETI Rambler

With a YETI Rambler , she’ll never have to drink disgusting cold coffee again! Made from rust-free stainless steel, the YETI will keep her hot drinks hot and her cold drinks cold for hours.

This is one of those gifts that she can take with her to work, on a road trip, a flight around the world, or up the mountain.

The bottle comes in almost a dozen colors, so you can pick the best one that matches her style. It’s one of our favorite travel gifts for her this season.

Swiftwick Pursuit Hiking Socks

Socks: the gift for everyone! But seriously, these luxuriously soft, lightweight merino wool hiking socks from Swiftwick are a great gift and the nicest socks your gal will ever put on her feet.

They’re built for the outdoors, with mesh ventilation for breathability and a moisture transport system to keep feet dry and blister-free. But, really, they’re for everyone!

North Face Oh-Mega Fur Pom Beanie

Finding the right beanie can be difficult, but the North Face Oh-Mega Fur Pom Beanie will fit her like a glove…errr, hat. These beanies are great travel gifts that will keep her warm in the winter, or while traveling to different countries.

It’s made with classic cable-knit texture and topped with an adorable faux fur pom on the top. It’s one of my favorite travel gifts for her!

Keen Elena Mid Boots

Who says that you can’t wear sneakers in the rain? The Keen Elena Mid Boots are made with water-resistant leather, which will keep her toes warm, even if the temperature drops below freezing.

If she’s a hiker, these boots are a great gift idea for winter, these boots can withstand temperatures up to -4 degrees. From daily commutes to mountain treks, she’ll love having the perfect travel boot.

Deckers x Lab KO-Z Shoes

This line of shoes (and slippers and sandals) are considered the most comfortable work-from-home shoes in the world: she’ll be able to go from the home office to the makeshift gym in no time and feel like a million bucks while doing so.

All of the Deckers x Lab KO-Z shoes come with tons of arch support and extra padding. Top it off with a wide array of colors and patterns, and she’ll never want to go barefoot again.

Grayl Geopress Filtered Water Bottle

As one of the coolest gifts in this gift guide (and definitely one of my favorite ideas), The Grayl Geopress water bottle  sips like a Camelbak and contains no BPA or other icky chemicals. Plus it filters out bacteria, heavy metals, and any foul taste, meaning she can fill up anywhere knowing she doesn’t have to worry about quality.

Now, she won’t have to drink funky hotel water on her travels. And, it’s the perfect travel gift for the environment, because she’ll cut down on using single-use bottles. It’s our favorite bottle in our list of best water bottles for travel!

Luxury Travel Gifts for Women

Eberjey alpine chic robe.

If you want to spoil her, the Eberjey Alpine Chic Robe is a must.

You know how comfortable those hotel robes are? Now you can bring one home for the female traveler in your life. Wearing this incredibly plush, cozy robe is like being wrapped in a warm hug! The interior is fully sherpa lined, and the deep functional pockets are great for stashing her essentials.

She can wear it while just lounging around the house, or to cover up after a hot shower. It feels incredibly soft against the skin.

Kaya Laptop Travel Backpack

The Kaya Laptop Travel Backpack is ultra-stylish and yet still highly functional. This travel bag is made from faux leather and comes in a number of fun colors, including green, blue, purple, and pink.

The zippered back compartment holds a 15-inch laptop, and there are multiple interior pockets to keep everything organized. This travel backpack is a great gift and will take her from day-to-night, looking great the whole time.

Mejuri Travel Case

The  Mejuri Travel Case  is a small jewelry case that carries a surprising amount of stuff; that’s why it’s one of our best travel gifts. For light travelers, it’s ideal for carry-on luggage and is about the size of a clutch. There’s a section to hold rings and earrings, as well as hooks for necklaces. No more tangled chains!

There’s often a waitlist for this item, so make sure you pick up one sooner rather than later. Made with handcrafted leather and a suede interior, this design is so sleek and stylish you can take it with you on every trip.

Bose NC 700 Headphones

Everybody knows Bose produces some of the highest-quality audio products in the world, and their latest in wearable sound is no exception. If she travels a lot then why not get her a travel gift that immerses her in sound, both comfortably and in style? The Bose NC 700’s —wireless, noise-cancelling headphones—are without question one of the best travel gifts for women, hands down.

This is the newest model from Bose, and an upgrade from their previous model, the QuietComfort 35 II’s. If you’re deciding between the two, check out my full comparison of the Bose 700’s vs QC35’s .

Cambiami Interchangeable Sandals

If you manage to get this right then you’ll win big points.  Cambiami offers interchangeable sandals  so you can add a bit of customization to her gifts.

You’ll get a sole and multiple interchangeable straps, so it’s like a three-in-one pair of flats. This is one of those travel gift ideas that will get you forever in her good books.

Even better than that, because they’re custom made, nobody else will have flats quite like them! It’s one of the best gift ideas for travelers you can get her.

Mark & Graham Leather Tech Envelope

There is nothing worse than your plethora of charging cables tangling themselves into chaos.  This stylish tech envelope  eliminates that problem.

With one of these gifts, she’ll never have to extract her headphones from her Kindle wire. She also won’t need to worry about her cables or devices getting damaged in her bag while on the road.

It’s also perfectly sized for carrying a tablet and has pockets for cards, a phone, and a pen or stylus.

The cherry on top of this leather delight? It’s even better with her initials monogrammed on it!

Ringly Smart Jewelry

It’s about time women had a way to track their exercise without having to don some unsightly step counter on their wrist. The Fitbit tried to make trackers more stylish and now Ringly has taken it a step further. It’s one of the most stylish gifts you can get her.

Ringly  has incorporated fitness trackers into beautiful jewelry that people actually want to wear. Goodbye ugly, clunky tracker, this is one of the travel gifts for her that isn’t going back to the store.

BauBax Travel Jacket

BauBax makes multifunction jackets   just  for people who travel—and they make unique gifts, too! With four primary styles—bomber, sweatshirt, vest and windbreaker—these jackets are great travel gifts for her.

Plus, the primary selling point of these jackets: They’re loaded with more than 25 features, including built-in gloves, an inflatable travel pillow, a blanket, and even a footrest! It’s like giving a Swiss Army Knife of gifts. That’s not to mention all the pockets, so you can carry-on what you need instead of checking it.

Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set

The Cuyana Leather Travel Case Set is a simple but stunning set of toiletry bags with an elegant curved design that comes in a rainbow of colors. The larger case is meant to stash all of her travel-sized items (like creams, deodorants, and balms), while the smaller case holds make-up and small accessories. If there are any make-up spills, the microsuede interior is easy to clean.

One of our favorite things about this product is that the leather is made in Argentina by a  family-owned workshop collective. The leather is Leather Working Group (LWG) certified, meaning it’s tanned in compliance with the highest sustainability measures.

Catalina Weekender Bag

This sophisticated Catalina Weekender Bag is wonderfully versatile and is made up of eco-friendly sustainable fabric; she’ll love carrying this along with her on a quick trip.

Despite its compact size, this bag comes with lots of nice features, including a handy bottom pocket with a removable padded insert for an extra pair of shoes (or anything else she wants to keep separate from her clean clothes).

There’s also a pass-through sleeve for attaching to a suitcase handle to make sure it stays put, and a messenger strap with removable padding.

Travel Photography Gifts for Women

Dji mavic mini.

If she’s a photographer, she’s going to love having her very own DJI Mavic Mini . This drone is one of the best gifts for travelers, period. It’s nearly as light as a smartphone, and yet it powerfully flies anywhere a regular drone would.

The simple DJI Fly app lets you do it all from your phone, and the camera stabilizer delivers the smoothest image possible. This will definitely up her photography game.

GoPro Hero 9 Black

What traveler wouldn’t LOVE a  GoPro camera!? Their latest release—the GoPro Hero 9 Black—is hands-free voice-controlled, wearable, waterproof, has a touchscreen and gimbal-like stabilization! Plus, the camera records 5K! This will easily be one of her favorite gifts if she has an adventurous spirit.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera

Sticking to the photography topic, here’s a fun one: the Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Instant Camera . Don’t you just kinda miss print photos and having a real camera? If she’s a travel photographer, this is a neat little addition to her camera gear.

The Mini 9 also comes with some nice extra touches, including a New Macro Lens for close-ups (35-50cm) and a Selfie Mirror so she’ll get the perfect shot every time.

These travel gifts are sure to please the lady in your life, whether she’s a friend or family member—even if it’s you! Skip the gift cards and buy a thing she’ll love. There’s something here for every budget, so dive in and get that shopping done.

The 31 Best Gifts for Frequent Travelers

By Samantha Schoech and Dorie Chevlen

Give the globe-trotter in your life a gift that will appeal to their sense of worldly wonder. These items will make flights, long lines at customs, and hotel stays feel less arduous and more comfortable. You could also give your favorite traveler special mementos and experiences to celebrate past trips and anticipate future expeditions. Whatever type of traveler you’re shopping for, there should be something here to suit their wanderlust.

Luggage helper

Cincha Travel Belt

This wide nylon strap has a sturdy buckle to keep your shoulder bag, backpack, or carry-on firmly attached to your roller bag, for smoother trips through the airport.

Buying Options

Anyone who travels has surely precariously perched their carry-on atop their rolling suitcase, only to have it topple, swivel, or lurch. Solve that annoyance with the Cincha Travel Belt , a useful (if unglamorous) offering. The concept is simple: This adjustable nylon strap cinches a smaller bag to the telescopic handles of a suitcase, thereby freeing up a hand, shoulder, or back. Yes, your traveling friend could use a bungee or even a rope for that purpose, but this item has a few touches that make it worth the upgrade: The sturdy metal buckle releases like butter, and a hidden elastic loop keeps the belt attached, even when it’s unclasped. Yes, this is a practical gift, but for the right traveler, it will be a real gem.

Penkou Portable Neck Fan

This fan’s battery lasts all day, and several accidental drops haven’t killed it. Also, it fits comfortably around the neck without being heavy, loud, or excessively gusty.

This past summer, heat records broke across the globe, and many travelers reported they found it difficult to stay cool and comfortable on the go. New York City’s own heat wave prompted associate staff writer Thom Dunn to explore the world of wearable neck fans , including the Penkou Portable Neck Fan . And the Penkou model, with a ring of 72 air slots that softly blow air up toward the head (but not directly into the face), was his pick. It weighs only about half a pound, and due to its smooth plastic design, it’s barely noticeable against the neck and shoulders. There’s one large button on the front right, making it easy to cycle through the fan speeds. The rechargeable battery lasts up to 16 hours, and the fan is compact enough to slip into a carry-on.

Handy sanitizer

Noshinku Hand Sanitizer

This flat, pocket-friendly hand sanitizer comes in sophisticated scents like vetiver, eucalyptus, and bergamot. And it’s refillable.

Traveling requires a lot of surface touching: airplanes, subways, taxis. If the pandemic taught us anything, it was that we should clean our hands as often as possible. The lovely-smelling Noshinku Hand Sanitizer is an FDA-compliant germ-killer that also contains stuff like jojoba, rosehip, argan oil, and aloe, to keep skin from drying out. Each canister is about the size of a credit card, though not quite as slim. So it can be slipped into a back pocket or a purse pocket. The best part is the canister is refillable , so your recipient can continue to use it for a long time.

Reading light

Glocusent Bookmark Style Reading Light

This chic, compact device offers five light settings, and the power indicator makes it easy to tell when to charge it.

Whether your favorite traveler is reading on a plane, train, or bed, or they’re just rifling through their suitcase, they will surely appreciate some extra light. The tiny Glocusent Bookmark Style Reading Light is our pick because it’s so lightweight and easy to carry. It twists and adjusts, so the light covers a full page, and it has simple buttons, for changing the brightness and temperature of the lighting. This lamp is so small it can clip to a paperback without weighing it down, and it fits in a pocket.

Trip planner

Lonely Planet’s Where to Go When

This visual travel guide suggests events and destinations for every month of the year. It’s as much an inspiration as it is a planner.

Graphically exuberant and endlessly inspiring, Lonely Planet’s Where to Go When is arranged by month, so travelers can figure out where to head on any given day. Miami’s Art Deco Weekend is in January. Consider Botswana’s Okavango floods (the best time for dugout canoe safaris) in June. This book further categorizes potential trips by budget, family-friendliness, and “expensive but worth it” (a July road trip along the Westfjords of Iceland, for example). Even if the recipient is more of an armchair traveler than a frequent globe-trotter, this book is sure to kick their wanderlust into full gear.

Luggage tracker

Apple AirTag

AirTags leverage Apple’s huge network of devices to track down a lost suitcase, and they’re impressively accurate at pinpointing an item’s precise location.

May be out of stock

Whether it was misrouted by the airline or left behind in a station waiting room, a lost suitcase can really dampen a trip. The Apple AirTag —our favorite Bluetooth tracker —does not work with non-Apple products. But if your beloved traveler owns an iPhone, AirTags are better than their competitors in just about every way—from ease of setup to location accuracy. They track belongings almost in real time. And if an airline does lose your favorite traveler’s suitcase, they will have an accurate map to point to when trying to locate it. Wirecutter staffers have also had success with slipping AirTags into the pockets of their restless kids.

Arrive refreshed

Peace Out Puffy Eyes

Each box contains six pairs of under-eye patches, which are infused with caffeine and hyaluronic acid to depuff tired, travel-weary eyes.

Nobody looks—or feels—as fresh as a daisy after a flight. But the Peace Out Puffy Eyes cooling under-eye patches—a longtime favorite of supervising editor Hannah Morrill—can help with both. Each box contains six pairs of crescent-shaped patches, made of a gelatinous (but not icky) biocellulose gel. The cooling effect is certainly pleasant enough. But the ingredients (caffeine, for a temporary tightening effect, and hydrators glycerin, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid) are what really do the trick for travel-worn eyes.

Safe drinking water

LifeStraw Go Series

This water bottle’s microfilter straw protects against all sorts of contaminants—from microplastics to E. coli. And it makes everyday tap water taste better.

To turn non-potable water into fresh, clean drinking water, staff writer Samantha Schoech swears by the LifeStraw Go Series water bottle (she recently sent her son off to Central America with one). Its replaceable filter removes 99.9% of contaminants and protects against common waterborne pathogens. This bottle is a little pricey, but it eliminates the need for single-use plastic bottles. And each filter cleans 1,000 gallons, which translates to roughly five years of daily use. (To learn a little more, see our article on the LifeStraw Max Water Filter .)

Plane entertainment

Nanoblock Birds Rosella Collection Series Building Kit

Flat bags packed with tiny building blocks keep bored hands and minds occupied on long treks. The resulting builds are about the size of a fist.

A person can only watch so many in-flight movies. On long hauls, we find these Nanoblock mini building sets to be just the ticket for restless hands and minds. They’re engaging but not mentally taxing, and the sets (ranging from about 100 to 200 pieces) are small enough to lay out on a tray table and later carry home in luggage. Finished pieces—from musical instruments to cats to pizzas—are only about 3 inches tall.

Power on the go

Zendure SuperMini 20W

This is the smallest and lightest power bank we’ve tested. It has USB-C PD and USB-A ports, and it comes in several colors. It also has rounded edges, so it’s easy to slip into a pocket.

At some point, your constantly on-the-go pal will require some extra juice, and a portable charger will ensure they have it when they need it most. We like this power pack , which also happens to be the smallest model we tested. But there’s more to love than just its pocket size. The Zendure SuperMini 20W ’s USB-C Power Delivery (PD) port can charge most handheld devices (and recharge the power bank itself) at top speed, and the USB-A port can handle any older, non-USB-C devices. In other words, this thing is fast and versatile.

An unmissable luggage tag

Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag

This brightly colored silicone tag displays the owner’s name but keeps other personal information out of sight.

There are a few features that make the Ovener Silicone Luggage Tag superior to pricier models in our testing . For starters, due to its sturdy, silicone-and-metal cable construction, it can withstand crowded overhead bins and rough tarmac treatment. Then there’s the issue of privacy: Although the owner’s name is always fully visible, address details are revealed only after you unscrew and remove the metal cable. Also an upside: This tag comes in a range of eye-catching colors. So it can help someone spot an otherwise-nondescript suitcase on a fast-moving carousel.

Premier toiletry transport

State Bags Bensen Toiletry Kit

This bag includes a detachable pouch and other organizational options, so packing is easier for both long and short trips.

For all manner of travelers, the State Bags Bensen Toiletry Kit is the most versatile one we tested . If your traveling pal takes longer trips and often checks their luggage, this bag folds up to stash larger items, like full shampoo bottles or contact solution; the hook hangs smoothly from a towel bar, for easy access. Our favorite feature for light packers: a removable translucent plastic pouch that holds up to four 2.7-ounce travel bottles (ideal for carry-on security checks). Available in a dozen prints and patterns, the bag also looks great and feels like a fancy, will-last-a-lifetime gift at a relatively modest price.

Small servings

Cadence Capsules

These leakproof plastic travel containers hold half an ounce of solids, liquids, or capsules; magnetized sides keep them compact and easy to locate.

If your favorite excursionist wouldn’t dream of using hotel shampoo or missing a day of their skin-care regimen, a set of Cadence Capsules will serve as an anxiety-abating treat. (Less-particular travelers will appreciate our favorite simple toiletry bottles .) All six hexagonal cases are leakproof and magnetic on every side, and they can be filled with about a half-ounce of whatever the traveler’s heart desires—from serum and dry shampoo to omega-3 capsules and CBD gummies. The well inside each capsule has rounded corners, so the recipient can scrape out every last daub of their precious potions. Each vessel can be customized with a “tile” or label. But unless you know your recipient very well, we suggest giving a gift card , which will allow them to choose their own colors and tiles.

Organized packing

Eagle Creek Pack-It Reveal Cube Set

Simple and solidly constructed, these packing cubes maximize luggage space and keep everything organized.

Even for the most enthusiastic traveler, packing remains an uphill battle. The Eagle Creek Pack-It Reveal Cube Set (one of our favorites ) can make the task infinitely less arduous, and some of our testers found that this set made packing borderline pleasant. The three cubes are made of sturdy polyester, so they stay upright when empty, and the mesh windows let travelers easily scope the contents. With a clamshell design, these cubes fully open on three sides, so deeply stashed items are easily accessible. Another welcome note in the age of lost luggage: Pouches can help your favorite traveler compress stuff into a single carry-on.

Safety socks

SockWell Men’s Lifestyle Firm Compression Socks

These compression socks offer the perfect combination of function and price. They are made of a merino wool blend, which is typical of more-expensive options.

SockWell Women’s Lifestyle Firm Compression Socks

For a true frequent flier, wearing a great pair of compression socks is both a safety and a comfort measure. Long flights can cause deep vein thrombosis and gravitational oedema (the technical term for swelling caused by sitting around too long); compression socks facilitate circulation and reduce the instances of both. SockWell Lifestyle Firm Compression Socks (available in both men’s and women’s sizes) are comfortably snug, and they’re made of a luxe, merino wool blend that hugs without constricting. The socks are cozy on a nippy flight, and they come in a handful of prints and colors that aren’t as institutional-looking as those of other compression socks we tried.

A hands-free journey

Dagne Dover Ace Fanny Pack

This neoprene pack blends style and function, fitting everything from a large wallet to a makeup kit—with room to spare.

For those who like to explore new places but don’t want to carry a purse, a modern, cool fanny pack is just the right accessory. Of the 22 we tested, the Dagne Dover Ace Fanny Pack offers the best marriage of handsome looks (eight suave colors!) and plenty of storage space—it can readily hold a smartphone, a passport, a wallet, and hand sanitizer, and there are extra pockets for a transit card and some change. Wide straps make this bag comfortable to carry, and the neoprene material (think wetsuit) will keep gear dry if the weather shifts unexpectedly.

A cozy cardigan

White+Warren Essential Cashmere Trapeze Cardigan

This simple, luxurious, and flattering open-front cardigan will add a layer of warmth and elegance to a trip abroad.

There is nothing worse than boarding a flight and realizing you miscalculated just how chilly airplane AC can be. One of our favorite cashmere sweaters , the White+Warren Essential Cashmere Trapeze Cardigan is a simple and luxurious piece that will keep a traveler cozy both in transit and once they’ve reached their destination. This sweater is lightweight but soft enough to nap in (it can double as a blanket, thanks to its drapey shape), and it looks polished when layered over a tee or under a jacket. Available in six muted tones, the cardigan has an airy construction, so it can fold down smaller than expected for easy packing.

Colorful little notebooks

Pantone 10 Notebooks

Each brightly colored, pocket-size notebook has 48 grid-dot pages.

Not all travel journals need to be works of art, layered with watercolor and ink. The Pantone 10 Notebooks set includes 10 brightly colored, 4-by-5½-inch soft-cover notebooks that are perfect for jotting down ideas, an itinerary, or travel memories. Each notebook slips nicely into a tote or a pocket and has 48 grid-dot pages of decent-quality paper. Send your traveler out into the world with a couple of these and a good pen , and see what they return with.

Armchair travel to Japan

Set in Edo-era Japan, this game revels in the simple pleasures of traveling—in this case, from the city of Kyoto to Edo (what is now Tokyo).

Players journey along the Tokaido road with other travelers, stopping at hot springs, stores, temples, and inns (and collecting souvenirs and eating delicious meals as they go). The ultimate goal is to be the “best traveler,” or to have the richest experience by seeing, eating, or doing the most during your trip. The game itself is beautifully designed and simple to play; it’s not deeply competitive, though there is some strategy involved in attempting to win. The pleasure of playing Tokaido comes from relaxing and accepting the pace of the board, and letting the game reveal surprising discoveries—much like travel itself.

A window out into the world

With each click in this free app, a view opens from a real window somewhere in the world, complete with sounds of birds, traffic, or blessed silence.

Sometimes the best gift is to remind someone that the world is both larger and more accessible than they realize. WindowSwap offers a strangely compelling experience, allowing someone to take a break to stare out a window in cities like Copenhagen, Prague, and Manila. Some of the window scenes are tranquil, others are not, but all suggest there’s an infinite number of new things to see, wherever you are. The app is free, but for $5 a month, your armchair traveler will be able to look out all of the windows ever uploaded, create unlimited bookmarks and playlists, and even access a back button so they can spend a little more time gazing out a favorite window.

Noise-cancelling bliss

Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700

These over-ear headphones are traveler-friendly, thanks to their noise-cancellation feature and lightweight, comfortable design.

A traveler can’t turn down the volume of an airplane’s engine, but the right pair of noise-cancelling headphones can. Such headphones are designed to reduce low-pitched droning sounds—in other words, exactly the kind of noise encountered in an airplane. After reviewing travel gear for more than six years, we think the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 are the best to help travelers relax and block too-loud plane noise.

An eye mask and a travel pillow for catching z’s

Nidra Deep Rest Eye Mask

This lightweight, contoured mask comfortably fits a wide variety of face shapes and blocks light well. It’s best when you’re sitting upright or sleeping on your back.

Travelrest Nest Ultimate Memory Foam Travel Pillow

This compressible pillow has tall, memory-foam walls, and it offers more support than any other pillow we tested.

It’s perhaps an indictment of air travel in general that many travel items are designed to mitigate the environment, whether it’s the noise, the light, or even the cramped seats of an airplane. The Nidra Deep Rest Eye Mask , a Wirecutter favorite , features contoured eyecups that rest around the eye sockets, instead of directly on the eyelids. By combining this mask with noise-cancelling headphones and a pillow, a traveler will be about as close to a sense of privacy as one can find on an airliner. For a headrest, we like the Travelrest Nest Ultimate Memory Foam Travel Pillow . It’s simple to wear, doesn’t interfere too much with headphones, and provides support even when the wearer is sitting upright.

Tiny white noise machine

Yogasleep Travel Mini Sound Machine

This sound machine is about as small as the palm of a hand and weighs less than 5 ounces. And it features a USB-rechargeable battery.

There’s no guarantee that your beloved traveler’s hotel or Airbnb will be as quiet as it promises to be. A small, portable sound machine may create enough white noise to drown out sleep-disturbing intrusions. The Yogasleep Travel Mini Sound Machine is from the same company that makes the classic Yogasleep Dohm , which we recommend . The Travel Mini has six sound options, including white noise, brown noise, and three nature-inspired sounds. It also acts as a gentle night-light, with three dimmable options. What’s better than the gift of a good night’s sleep?

A game about the birth (and death) of words

Those who enjoy language immersion (and disorientation) will appreciate this card game, which has players generate a unique dialect.

Part of the experience of traveling to another country is feeling lost in its language, and Dialect can help fill the gap. This game involves the birth (and eventual death) of a language and the culture that created it. At its heart, Dialect—which requires almost no setup but plenty of imagination—is as much a discussion of what language is and why it exists as it is a game. It’s also good for last-minute shoppers: Order the standard physical edition, and you’ll get a digital copy, too (online access is emailed immediately, so your loved one can start figuring out how the game is played).

Global foods sampler

Tapas for Two Gift Box

This gift box for two takes you on a Spanish food journey, including favorites such as jamón serrania and chorizo.

Our kitchen team is wild about the Despaña Tapas for Two Gift Box , which offers a seemingly bottomless assortment from a famed Spanish food importer. (The box is among the other great options in our favorite gift baskets guide .) Staffers were particularly smitten with the anchovy-stuffed olives, trio of Spanish cured pork, and delectable Cabo de Peñas tinned sardines. The cornucopia of savory treasures comes in a brown paper box tied with a red ribbon, and there’s an option to add a card. In short, this box offers all of the interesting stuff your favorite traveler would grab off the shelves from a small grocery store en España.

Travel posters with classic appeal

Anderson Design Group World Travel Posters

These archive-quality, vintage-inspired prints depict destinations worldwide, and they come in a variety of sizes.

Years ago, senior staff writer Kit Dillon’s father went to Cuba and saw a clay statuette of Fidel Castro for sale. Kit said that when the vendor told his father the price, he said, “Castro no vale tanto” (translation: Castro isn’t worth that much). That may seem risky for an American to say while traveling alone in Cuba, but the statuette is here now looking at Kit, so somebody appreciated the joke. Ever since, Kit said when he finds a small token of Cuba—like this art print —he sends it to his father to remind him to take the trip again one day, only this time with Kit. For its World Travel Poster series , the Anderson Design Group created nostalgic images that hearken back to another era of travel—and they make an excellent promissory note for a trip to come. The collection currently encompasses every country in Asia, Europe, Africa, and Central, South, and North America, and it will eventually include every country in the world. The prints come in six sizes, and the images are available on canvas or metal.

Watercolors and travel journaling for the DIYer

Leuchtturm1917 Notebook

With its page numbers, index pages, ribbon bookmarks, and sticker labels, this notebook is ideal for documentarians.

Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set

This 14-pan watercolor set renders plein air painting possible, thanks to a slide-out palette, a water dish, and a quality brush.

Any traveler who’s interested in creating their own travel journal needs the right materials. The Leuchtturm1917 Notebook features thick, ink-proof paper, which works very well with pen and pencil. And as long as the artist isn’t too heavy-handed, it can also accommodate some light watercolor washes without warping. Your loved one can brighten their works with the Winsor & Newton Cotman Watercolor Paint Set . This small, travel-friendly set of high-quality watercolors comes with everything a painter needs to get started (except the paper).

Cutlery to go

Hydro Flask Flatware Set

This three-piece stainless flatware set helps climate-conscious travelers avoid single-use plastics, and it comes with a Velcro carrying case.

Airport food has come a long way. What hasn’t progressed: the flimsy and environmentally deplorable single-use plastic utensils you have to eat it with. Portable cutlery will give your recipient a dignified way to dine on the go. Wirecutter editor Ria Misra recommends the sturdy stainless Hydro Flask Flatware Set , which comes with a full-size fork, a knife that’s strong enough to butter a muffin (but that won’t alarm the TSA), and a spoon that’s perfect for ladling soup. This set also comes with its own carrying case, so it won’t get lost (or separated) in the dark recesses of your carry-on.

A pretty passport cover

Tusk Siam Passport Cover

This elegant goatskin passport cover comes in 11 zippy color combos, and it won’t fade or scuff, even after years of traveling.

A bright passport cover will make it easy for your traveling pal to quickly locate their passport in a bag at the airport (or at home, when it’s shoved in the back of a drawer). Supervising editor Hannah Morrill loves the Tusk Siam Passport Cover , which is made from supple goatskin leather and comes in nine cheery color combinations. (Some other versions we’ve tried have a translucent pouch; in theory, this sounds ideal for flashing the relevant page at customs, but in practice, the cover ends up smudgy and embedded with crumbs.) Hannah reports that even after years of use, the slim folio looks clean and crisp. Plus, there are two inner card slots, which are excellent for stashing any stray forms you’re asked to hang onto at the airport or on the plane.

We love finding gifts that are unusual, thoughtful, and well vetted. See even more gift ideas we recommend .

Does she have a comfortable travel dress ? Great, now how about some bralettes for the plane?

So let’s dive straight in and find the best travel gifts for women for that special lady in your life!

Fun and unique travel gift ideas for women

1. scratch map.

Every travel lover loves a map. And scratch off world maps are definitely one of the best travel gifts for women. This Scratch Off World Map Poster makes for the perfect home decor as well as a reminder of all the beautiful places that she’s visited and all the ones that are waiting for her!

2. Travel-themed Jewellery

Travel-themed jewellery is a great gift for travellers who love a little something that represents their wanderlust. This Sterling Silver travel map necklace is a beautiful accessory that she can wear and take anywhere with her, reminding her to always follow her passion for travel. 

3. Travel experience gift card

What do you give someone who is always on the move and travelling? As a full-time traveller one of my favourite gifts to receive is a travel experience gift card. With a travel experience gift card your receiver can pick what to use it for, and it’s a great opportunity for them to try a new adventure. It’s guaranteed they’ll love this!

I’d recommend Tinggly (for US-based travellers) or GetYourGuide Gift Card (for worldwide travel) which offers a wide range of experiences all around the world!

4. Travel journal

Travel journals are a great gift option if you’re looking for something simple and versatile. The OMEYA Leather Journal is lightweight and durable, perfect for travelling and capturing those unforgettable memories. If you prefer to get something more fun and colourful, this Clever Fox travel planner is also a great option for travel gifts for women.

5. Language learning subscription

Learning the basic phrases in the local language of your destination can be extremely helpful for any traveller.

If your traveller loves communicating with locals and learning new words, a language learning subscription would be a great gift for them! Rosetta Stone is one of the leading language learning platforms that gives you access to 25 languages including Spanish, Italian, French, Mandarin and Greek. 

6. Scrapbook 

If you’re looking to spark some creativity with your present, scrapbooks are an amazing gift for travellers who love to save small memorabilia like museum entrance tickets and flight boarding paces. It’s something they can look back on and cherish for years to come. 

7. Travel colouring book

A travel-themed colouring book is the perfect gift for artistic travellers, capturing the essence of wanderlust in its pages. The Lonely Planet Travel Colouring book is ideal for passing time during long layovers or train rides, each page offers landmarks and patterns waiting for her personal touch. For a complete present set, pair it with a box of colouring pencils.

For the traveller who loves beach getaways and underwater adventures, a waterproof phone pouch is a must. It’s a great low-budget but high quality gift that ensures her device is protected against splashes and accidental dips, allowing her to capture memories worry-free.

14. Portable steamer

Wrinkled clothes on arrival? Not anymore. For anyone travelling for business often or social events, a portable steamer is the perfect way to quickly refresh her outfits, ensuring she looks impeccable no matter where her travels take her. No more worrying if her hotel or AirBnB has an iron available. 

This steamer is compact and heats up ready to use within less than 30 seconds.

Hotel hair dryers can be a hit or miss. A compact travel hairdryer ensures she has consistent power and style, keeping her locks looking their best in any climate. 

16. Travel backpack

A good travel backpack is both stylish and functional. It accommodates all her essentials and keeps them organized, ensuring she’s always ready to explore the city’s hidden gems or go on spontaneous hikes. When it comes to backpacks, quality is of utmost importance and there’s no better than Osprey’s travel backpacks .

For the eco-friendly traveller, a reusable travel cutlery set is a great gift option. Lightweight and compact, they can be used to enjoy meals on the go, reducing single-use plastic waste.

Travel gifts for her that will make travelling more comfortable

Sleeping in new places or while travelling can be challenging. That’s why one of my must-take travel items is a full-black out eye mask. The Halo Sleep sleeping mask is my favourite purchase so far –  creates complete darkness and is gentle on the eyes, helping you get restful sleep on any journey.

24. Travel pillow

Neck support is essential during long flights or car rides. The Snugl memory foam travel pillow moulds to the contours of your neck, ensuring you arrive at your destination rested and without stiffness.

Useful electronics gifts for travellers

Portable power banks are one of the top essentials when travelling, making sure you can keep your phone charged while on the road or exploring.

The Amazon Kindle is the best of its kind when it comes to e-readers, with its high resolution display, long-lasting battery and enough storage to hold hundreds of books.

Gifts to help her capture her travel memories

Instant cameras are a fun way to capture memories on the go and enjoy the photos almost instantly. The Instax 11 mini is the best instant camera out there, easy to use and creating high quality photos within a couple of minutes.

30. Instant photo printer

As an alternative to instant cameras, the instant photo printers are a great gift for any woman traveller. These allow her to take any photos with her phone and instantly print them out. The Kodak Step wireless photo printer is one of the best and most affordable of its kind, super small and portable, printing 2×3 inch photos instantly. 

31. Disposable film camera

Disposable film cameras are back in fashion. With a touch of nostalgia they make for one of the best travel gifts for women. With the Kodak Single Use Funsaver , you can enjoy 27 exposures, adding a touch of unpredictability and excitement to your travel shots.

32. Action camera

Action cameras make a great gift for any traveller, especially if they’re about to go on some epic adventures. Whether it’s a diving trip, a safari or a mountain hike, a GoPro action camera or an Insta 360 are both amazing for any type of trip. Lightweight, water resistant, and most importantly discreet. 

A travel drone is the perfect present for a female traveller who loves photography but already has a camera and/or an action camera. The DJI Mini 3 is the best travel drone out there, compact and lightweight, easy to pack in a carry on. It has the ability to capture high quality photos and videos, recording in 4K and taking 12MP photos. Weighing just under 250g, it keeps it below the weight that additional legislations for drone flying kick in for most countries. 

Travel drones are amazing for capturing beautiful destinations from a unique perspective making it one of the best travel gifts for women.

Capturing travel memories on the move even if she’s travelling by herself is made easy with a travel tripod. With this multifunctional tripod and selfie stick , offering adjustable height and angle options, she can easily capture her travel photos anywhere.

Best travel gifts for women to make her travels safer

35. anti-theft bag.

Anti-theft bags are so important when travelling, as pick-pocketing and bags being snatched is something that can happen in any country. With the Travelon Anti-theft messenger bag , safety and style go hand in hand. This anti-theft bag combines sleek design with 5-point anti-theft security system and multiple storage pockets, offering peace of mind as she carries her essentials through bustling cities and new destinations.

36. Money belt

Another option for keeping your valuables like passport, money and phone, while travelling is a travel money belt. A Travel Money Belt acts as a secret wallet hidden underneath your clothes, keeping your essentials hidden and out of reach. It’s water resistant and comfortable to wear, making it a no-brainer for any traveller. 

37. Personal alarm

A personal alarm can be useful wherever you go – whether it’s abroad or at home, at the park or at a club.

It’s a must for any woman traveller, being able to draw attention in emergencies and ensuring her safety during solo adventures.

The LifeStraw Personal Water Filter is perfect for hiking, camping and travelling in general. It’s small and portable, and protects against 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria and parasites. 

39. Door stop security

A door stop security alarm is another must-have security gadget that is portable and easy to travel with, but can keep her safe when staying at different hotels. This Door Stop Security Alarm fits right under the door and sounds a loud alarm if anyone tries to come in while you’re sleeping. Providing an extra sense of security while travelling.

Table of Contents

Top 5 Favorite Travel Gifts for Women Who Travel

1. Pakt bag

The Pakt One is my personal favorite road trip bag , but it can be used for every kind of trip. This versatile duffel has a zip-around, dual-compartment design that allows it to be packed like a suitcase. The Pakt team takes its bag designs very seriously: The Pakt One has been perfected through 5+ years and hundreds of thousands of miles of global travel testing.

The bag comes in three colors, including the Navy (pictured here), black and grey. The material is very durable and can withstand long-haul flights and weekend getaways alike. I love that there are compartments that are big enough for shoes so that you don’t need to pack them with the rest of your clothing. It’s carry-on approved, so you can ditch the wheels and bring this versatile travel duffel instead.

It’s like wearing a sock but in sneaker form. They come in a variety of colors and can be just as easily worn on a day-to-day basis.

The best part? They’re machine washable. Go ahead and gift the white pair, worry-free.

Best Gift for Queen Bees

Guerlain aqua allegoria harvest rosa rossa eau de toilette.

When it comes to light fragrances, Guerlain’s Rosa Rossa, from the brand’s Aqua Allegoria Harvest collection, is the top of the class, the head cheerleader, the queen bee. How did it achieve this status? It’s a scent that’s non-polarizing in the least, a scent that delicately blends Bulgarian and Turkish roses, lychee and blackcurrant accords, and rose water. It’s light and airy, but leaves behind an aroma that lingers. It’s a bottle that’ll make anyone the most popular in a crowd.

Best Gift for Beauty Addicts

Addiction tokyo unknown familiar bush palette .

You wouldn’t tell an artist they had too many shades of paint at their disposal, so don’t be tempted to tell her she’s got too much makeup. In fact, it might be a good idea to augment her supply by adding this blush palette from Addiction Tokyo. The brand’s products are built to live up to their name, and this useful combination of pink, pearly red, and beige is one she’ll return to again and again.

Best Gift for Chic Coffee Fiends

Miu miu stainless steel thermal cup, best gift for budding oenophiles , white wine: the comprehensive guide to the 50 essential varieties & styles.

It takes years of experience, a discerning nose, and an adept pallet to really understand the myriad styles of white wines available, from chardonnay and pinot grigio to riesling and sauvignon blanc, and to differentiate a stellar bottle from the subpar. Here to offer budding oenophiles an all-encompassing guide to the world of grapes, blends, and glasses are Robb Report’s own Mike Desimone and Jeff Jenssen, our resident wine guys, true authorities on the subject. Through essays, interviews with winemakers, histories, and a handy checklist, the duo provides all the information needed to sound like a virtual wine expert. 

Best Gift for Aging Gracefully

Currentbody skin led light therapy face mask.

If she’s on the hunt for the best at-home skin care devices, CurrentBody is the name to know. The brand offers a bevy of LED-powered products that stimulates cells, reducing the appearance of aging. In particular, its LED face mask, an appliance that had a cameo in Netflix’s Emily in Paris , is one of CurrentBody’s best-sellers—and it’s not hard to see why. After four weeks of daily 10-minute treatments, users have reported visibly clear results, including brighter skin, noticeably shallower wrinkles, and even lightening of dark circles and hyperpigmentation. It reverses the ravages of time. It’s essentially the gift of youth. 

Best Gift for Spreading Good Vibes 

Foundrae karma champlevé small belcher 18-karat gold, diamond, and enamel necklace.

Jewelry means more than what is seen at face value: This is the ethos fashion veteran Beth Hutchens promotes with her label Foundrae, how baubles should reflect personal virtues and encourage introspection. Through distinct charms sourced from different cultures across world history, wearers are able to express personality and cultivate good vibes. This pendant necklace, featuring a crescent moon and a twinkling star alongside the number 8, in particular, is the symbol of infinity, a representation of the cumulative stock of one’s good deeds. It essentially depicts karma—a virtue that all should practice everyday. 

Best Gift for Chic Cooks

Le creuset signature enameled cast iron round oven.

Ask any chef or good cook about the ideal cooking pot for casseroles and slow roast, and they’ll tell you it’s the mighty Dutch oven. Also ask them about the brand they prefer most, and they’ll likely extol the virtues of Le Creseut. Just under a century ago, the famed French label began creating enameled cast iron pots, refining its production process throughout the years, adding new details and colors along the way. Its reputation is truly a cut above the rest. And if your wife has yet to experience time in the kitchen with this wonder product, surprise her with Le Creseut’s round Dutch oven in a new hue fittingly called “Brioche.”

Best Gift for Design Enthusiasts 

Designed for life: the world’s best product designers.

What constitutes good design is relative to a person’s personal tastes. Some favor Brutalist works, while others gravitate toward whimsical pieces. But there are certain factors that, regardless of preferences, can’t be ignored. There are some studios that truly advanced product design, offering pieces that push the boundaries, that lead the conversation. Studios like Objects of Common Interest, Soft Baroque, and Misha Khan. These are just a few examples of the names compiled by the editors at Phaidon, names that every design enthusiast needs to know. 

Best Gift for Fashion Preservationists

The laundress everyday fabric care gift set, best gift for efficient travelers , béis the weekender bag .

Style is a key factor to consider before buying a travel accessory. The way it looks and how it reflects one’s personality should always be taken into account (see the Wonderful x Globe-Trotter collab below). But the real crux of a great travel bag is how it performs. It should be durable, easy to carry, and hold stuff securely. All these qualities definitely apply to Béis’s Weekender. But what really makes it special is the inside compartment at the bottom of the bag to hold shoes. This handy feature is framed, which means her favorite stilettos won’t get squished, and it zips shut, allowing her to pile all her other essentials on top. 

Best Practical Gift

Vince plush cashmere knit glove.

Gloves? Not the most exciting gift. But a pair made of cashmere from Vince, a label that never fails to offer accessories that look just as good as they perform? Now that’s something to consider. From the plush fabric to the selection of versatile colors, this is an item that’ll definitely be her go-to in the cool seasons. What’s more, the thumb and index finger feature slits, allowing her easy access to her mobile devices. 

Best Gift Galaxy Gals

Samsung galaxy buds wireless earbuds.

Wireless headphones are now a dime a dozen, but if you want to gift your wife something that’s unique, Samsung’ shimmering Galaxy buds, a pair of in-ears that have blinged out audio quality and a look to match, is truly out of this world. 

Buy Now on Amazon: $143

Best Gift for Blooming Beauties 

Venus et fleur fleura porcelain vase.

Yes, we said that bit about bouquets being a banal gift, but it definitely doesn’t apply to Venus et Fleur. Why? The bespoke floral atelier offers, get this, arrangements that stay in bloom for up to year. How? The company uses a proprietary solution that keeps its roses—all of which are sourced from farms in Ecuador—fresh and perfectly pigmented. They’re billed as “eternity flowers.” It’s no wonder Venus et Fleur has become one of the leading delivery services for bouquets, offering a product, a romantic gesture, that’ll last well beyond a day. 

Best Gift for It Girls

Celine triomphe bag .

There are four criteria for a bag to achieve “It” status: provenance, quality, versatility and style. Hitting all these targets is Celine’s Triomphe, a carryall that was created in the 1970s by the maison ’s founder after being inspired by the chain surrounding the Arc de Triomphe. The bag, with its dual-sided C, became an instant hit but sadly fell by the wayside over the decades. More recently, thanks to the label’s creative Heidi Silmane, the design has been revived for a new generation, quickly becoming the go-to accessory for celebrities, influencers and fashion fans across the globe. It has found its rightful place at the center of the zeitgeist—and hopeful on the shoulder of your leading lady. 

Buy Now on 24s: $3,600

Best Gift for Fragrance Fanatics  

Diptyque iconic trio gift set .

A candle: How original, right? But like bouquets from Venus et Fleur, Diptyque’s offerings are a cut above the rest. The brand has been creating some of the sweetest scents since 1643, constantly adding to its stable of candles. But the three that continue to lead the pack are Berries, Fig Tree and Roses. Now, you don’t have to decide between them, because Diptyque has corralled the trio in a neat package that’s just ready and waiting to fill your loved one’s home.

Best Gift for Design Devotees

54kibo couple red throw pillows.

A great throw pillow should stand out. A great throw pillow should tell a story. A great throw pillow should express one’s personality. Taking all this into account is 54Kibo, a company that commissions pieces from some of the most skilled artisans across the African Diaspora. Indeed, the site carries a beautiful assortment of pillows, but the one that really makes a romantic gesture is the Couple Red, a design inspired by the work of Malian photographer Malick Sidibe. Which is why it’s a great throw pillow.  

Buy Now on 54Kibo: $98

Best Gift Decadent Dessert Eaters

Junior’s red velvet cheesecake.

From presidents to Hollywood folk to celebrated chefs, some of the most notable figures in history have taken multiple bites of the decadent treats made by Junior’s Cheesecake. Founded in the 1950s, the bakery is a New York institution, often packed with locals and tourists alike. But there’s no need to wait in line when the company delivers some of its most beloved desserts, including, of course, its signature red velvet cheesecake. 

Best Gift for Globetrotters

Warm & wonderful x globe-trotter carry-on luggage .

Two icons of Britannia have joined forces. Warm & Wonderful, the knitwear company ushered into the limelight by the late Princess of Wales, and Globe-Trotter, one of the leading purveyors of travel bags and accessories, have released a trolley case cast in the cheeky print worn often by Princess Di in the ’80s. It’s a carry-on that imbues a wistful affection for the past but is inherently modern—the perfect gift for a stylish jet-setter. 

Buy Now on Rowing Blazers: $2,275

Best Gift for Tequila Tasters 

Codigo 1530 rosa tequila.

Rosé or red wine are conventional gifting bottles—but your partner isn’t conventional, is she? That’s why this pink tequila is a perfect alternative to your typical spirits. The tequila itself is aged in cabernet barrels, which helps to give it its unique pink tint, and the taste is as smooth as silver tequila can be.

Buy Now on ReserveBar: $71

Best Gift for Content Creators

Glamcor multimedia x pro kit.

Despite its detractors, posting pictures and videos on social media apps has become an artform. It’s also a profession. But she doesn’t have to be a full-fledged influencer to want her content to pop. And if she’s looking to emulate the pros (or is one herself), this multimedia kit from Glamcor—which includes a telescopic stand, remote control, flexible LED lights, phone clip and dual voltage power supply—is just what she needs to make her TikTok video go viral. 

Best Gift for Handbag Buffs

Prada small prada galleria saffiano leather bag.

When it comes to Prada bags, the devil is always in the details. Its stable of carryalls—from the Tessuto and Cleo to the Borsa Cerniera and Triangle—are all iconic in their own right, each with a set of unique features that reflect the essence of the brand. But the style that perhaps captures the codes of Prada best is the Galleria. First introduced in 2007, the Galleria—named after Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the site of Prada’s first store in 1913—is made of the label’s signature Saffiano leather and has a ladylike silhouette indicative of designer Miuccia Prada’s personal aesthetic. It also comes in a range of colors every season, but the versatile black version remains a classic. The Galleria is a bag to be treasured, and if your wife doesn’t own one already, now’s the time to get her this modern-day classic. 

Best Gift for New Homeowners

Ginori 1735 oriente italiano gold-rimmed oval platter.

Decorating a new home takes time, patience, and a whole lot of TLC. Every piece of furniture, every object needs to be considered. They need to be distinct, as well as blend into the vibe of a given room. Fully understanding this sentiment is Ginori 1735, a Florentine label that’s been in the biz for over three centuries, offering a range of bold designer porcelain that’ll stand the test of time. Its pieces are ornate, yes, but in a way that is decidedly modern. They truly serve style—a characteristic that illustrated by this gold-rimmed oval platter.

Best Gift for Audiophiles

Bang & olufsen beoplay hx headphones.

If she can’t get enough of Taylor Swift’s new LP or the latest murder-mystery podcast, these Bang & Olufsen headphones, with their pristine audio quality and well-cushioned ear pads, will tune out the world around her, heightening the experience of whatever she’s listening to.

Best Gift for Nostalgic Gamers

Dior small leather backgammon.

Games have gone virtual, but there is something to be said about going back to basics and playing a two-player match face-to-face. And when it comes to board games, backgammon is reputedly the oldest, around for over five centuries. This luxurious piece made of embroidered from Dior, a maison with a history that’s just as impressive as backgammon, is also something that’ll last the long haul.

Best Gift for Cashmere Queens

One of her biggest hits, made famous by Katie Holmes, is the Scarlet cashmere cardigan, a knit that’ll always be en vogue.

Best Gif for Stylish Sleepers

Boll & branch waffle bed blanket.

When it comes to luxury bed sheets, Boll & Branch is the name to know. The brand offers a slew of quality options, from the insulating to the incredibly breathable. Its selection of blankets, of course, is also vast, but the one that tops our list is this soft waffle blanket, which is made of 100 percent cotton and comes in nine colorways.

Best Gift for Whiskey Drinkers

Legent bourbon whiskey.

Fine whiskey ain’t just for the boys. The smoothness, the taste, the kick of a good glass (especially in winter) does wonders for livening the spirits. Indeed, there are many, many labels that offer these characteristics, but the one we’re recommending this season is this bottle from Legent. The wine notes have a distinct berry flavor, along with notes of citrus. This means its equal parts sweet and savory, with a dash of sour—the perfect blend to add some warmth on a chilly night.

Best Gift for Delicious Divas

Kilian love, don’t be shy eau de parfum spray.

Many that’ve come in close proximity to Rihanna have praised how she smells: “Heaven” being the most common analogy, and “delicious” coming a close second. And though fans would like to believe that it’s her natural musk, reports have cited that her fragrance of choice is actually Kilian’s Love, Don’t Be Shy. The eau de parfum features notes of plush rose, honeysuckle, orange blossom absolute and marshmallow sugar accord. It’s sweet, sexy and packs a whole lot of attitude: RiRi in a bottle, basically.

Gifts for Belles of the Ball

Roger vivier belle vivier suede pumps.

For a movie about bondage and sadomasochism, Belle du Jour is a virtual runway show of prim and proper styles. In the film, Catherine Deauve was outfitted by none other than Yves Saint Laurent, who dressed the star in streamlined coats and elegant shift dresses. Her shoes? The Belle Vivier from Roger Vivier, a low-heeled pump with an unmissable Pilgrim buckle, which takes its name from the French flick. It’s a style with a tremendous amount of cachet, charm and, in a covert way, flirtiness—one that’ll appeal to any woman that has these qualities. How’s that for a backstory? 

Best Gift for Golden Gals

Tom ford soleil blanc shimmering body oil, best gift for bold jewelry lovers, lagos caviar gold oval statement ring.

Some prefer dainty, others an heirloom quality, but if she’s a jewelry lover that gravitates toward bold, incredibly luxurious designs, Lagos’s gold ring, inspired by caviar, will make her eyes—and finger—sparkling. It’s definitely a visual feast.

A bike is a great gift for anyone that literally likes to push the pedal to the metal—but also enjoys cruising down the street. There are plenty of options, of course, but the most practical and versatile on our list is one from Brompton’s C Line, a foldable model made of eye-catching hand-brazed steel.

Best Gift for Sleek Skiers

Fusalp matterhorn ski goggles.

Any avid skier will tell you that the equipment can make or break a trip down the slope. She basically needs the right goggles to withstand gusts, flakes and glares from the sun. And one of the most effective and most stylish around is this pair from Fusalp, which features anti-fog lenses that offer UV protection, ideal for both clear and cloudy skies.

Best Gift for Hat Collectors

Maison michel virginie grosgrain-trimmed wool-felt fedora.

There are some women that like hats, and others that don’t. This line is pretty defined. If your wife falls into the former category, she’s absolutely aware of Maison Michel, a company that produces couture-level toppers. To wit: It is the official milliner of Chanel. And its most celebrated style is the classic fedora, this one made of soft wool felt and framed by a tonal grosgrain ribbon. As a hat lover, she may have one already, but if she doesn’t, the buck should stop at this beauty.

Best Gift for the Perfect Coif

Dyson supersonic hair dryer.

If your wife is looking for a salon-level blowout at home, the absolute best dryer on the market is Dyson’s Supersonic. The device was made with the input of over 100 engineers, all of whom were required to take hairstyling classes, which is why it is so effective. Indeed, she won’t ever have a bad hair day with this item in her possession.

Best Gift Gifts for Confection Cravers

Savolinna jewelry pink sapphire be spiked hoop earrings, best gift for bathing beauties, stylest puff sleeve one-piece swimsuit.

Bathing suits are a dime a dozen, but the ones offered by Stylest are truly singular. The brand was founded by three fashion veterans, all of whom saw a niche in the swimwear market that needed to be filled. Primarily, the trio noticed the lack of chest support found in most maillots and two-pieces. And if a style did hold everything up, they were either too revealing or too matronly. Their solution: Aqualingerie, incredibly chic designs that are a cross between swimsuits and shapewear. And the best-seller, the one that’s all the rage in the fashion industry, is the Puff Sleeve one-piece, a versatile style that your wife will sport for many summers to come.

If you’re trying to show her how you really feel, will any old box of chocolates actually pass muster? In the case of ZChocolat, it definitely does—especially the Passionate Ambrosia box. Made by French chocolatier Pascal Caffet, the package offers 168 sweets and 26 different varieties, including Iranian pistachio and silky white ganache covered in dark chocolate.

Best Gift for Style Setters

Bottega veneta curved shape felted wool coat.

Bottega Veneta, once a steady Italian luxury brand that offered classic styles for women of a certain age, is now one of the buzziest, forward-thinking labels in the fashion industry. Kudos should be given to designer Daniel Lee, who left his post late last year. But taking up his mantle with aplomb is Matthieu Blazy. With his first collection, the new creative director—who cut his teeth working behind the scenes at Celine, Balenciaga and Calvin Klein—proved that he has the chops. His pieces played with proportions and toyed with fabrics; he pushed boundaries, but in a way that didn’t deviate from Bottega Veneta’s core aesthetic. Case in point: This beautiful felted-wool peacoat with a pronounced collar and sculptural sleeves—a piece that’ll surely become a collector’s item in due time.

Best Gift for Flavor Fiends 

Jennifer fisher salt trio.

Jennifer Fisher may be best known as a jewelry designer, but she’s also an accomplished home cook. In her culinary adventures, Fisher concocted a trio of custom-blended salts to add instant umami to pretty much any meal—a novel gift for the top chef in your life.

Best Gift for Refined Recliners

Ebergey inez washable silk long pj set.

Nadaam’s cashmere is definitely a choice pick (see above), but if you’re looking for loungewear that isn’t so insulating but still incredibly luxurious and comfortable, Ebergey has a silk top and matching pants in cherry red that definitely hits the sweet spot.

Best Gift for the Posh and Powerful

Gabriela hearst nina bag.

Gabriela Hearst is a favorite brand among magazine editors, influencers, world leaders, and just about anyone that wants to exude power, femininity, and luxury all in one subtle package. It offers streamlined designs, pieces that’ll never fall out of fashion, but has just the right amount of flash to make a statement. A great example of this sentiment is the Nina, the label’s first handbag, a carryall that’s well on its way to becoming a classic.

Best Gift for GlamourousGals

Fabulous furs le mink faux fur scarf.

A fur scarf—in this case, a faux one cast in leopard—exudes glamour instantly. Think of Marilyn Monroe in front of a large crowd, serenading the president; Greta Garbo lounging on a velvet chaise, waiting for her paramour to enter the room; Kate Moss exiting a hotspot in Mayfair. These style icons understand the power that this accessory holds, how it can instantly bolster a look, how it can take something as mundane as a T-shirt and jeans and transform it into something spectacular. 

Best Gift for Sculptural Jewelry Lovers

Pearl octopuss.y baroque pearl and sterling silver ring.

There may be no piece of jewelry more timeless than pearls, making them a failsafe choice for gifting. But rather than the usual staid studs or strand, opt for something more sculptural like this Baroque pearl ring surrounded by silver-plated crystal. It’s a bauble that’ll catch the eye, draw a crowd, and spark conversation. It truly blings! 

Best Gift for Vanity Vixens

Anissa kermiche jewelry box.

This petite jewelry box, made of smooth ceramic and topped with black and gold nuggets, would be a welcome addition to any well-appointed vanity. But if you ask us, combine it with the Savollina earrings—or any other precious little something on this list—and consider your wrapping done.

Best Gift for At-Home Spa Fans 

Susanne kaufmann mountain pine bath oil.

Bring the spa to her with this pampering bath oil. Infused with the oil of spruce and pine trees from the Austrian Alps, this aromatic unction soothes sore muscles and boosts circulation—if she closes her eyes, she just might think she’s in Baden-Baden.

Best Gift for Goddesses 

Matouk venus blanket .

If Botticelli’s Venus were to ever step off her shell, she’d probably wrap herself in the blanket from Matouk. It’s made of 100 percent cashmere and feels so warm, so soft, so downright luxurious. It’s a throw worthy of goddesses. What’s more, it comes in four effervescent colors, ones that look as light and cumulous as the fabric feels. 

Best Gift for Everyone

Birkenstock arizona shearling sandals.

Best Gift for First Ladies 

Gucci jackie 1961 leather shoulder bag.

If House of Gucci has her chomping at the horsebit, consider this classic made famous after Jackie Kennedy was photographed using one to shield herself from the paparazzi. Reintroduced in glossy box leather, it’s a pedigreed purse she’ll be carrying for years to come.

Buy Now Gucci: $2,950

Best Gift for Silk Sirens 

La perla long-sleeve silk robe.

Who doesn’t love some luxurious loungewear? Double down on the decadence with La Perla’s knee-length robe, tastefully tailored in obsidian-colored silk satin with a notched lapel. Bonus: It’s chic enough for her to don at cocktail hour.

Buy Now on Saks Fifth Avenue: $465

Best Gift for Sentimentalists

Arhaus luana frame.

Gifting a photograph is guaranteed to score extra points for sentimentality, especially if it’s for a loved one you don’t get to see very often. Almost as important as the image is the vessel in which it is mounted on. Aerin’s frame is made of naturally deceased water buffalo horns with the glint of hardwood—a sophisticated choice she’ll be proud to display.

Best Gift for Scent Enthusiasts 

Frederic malle café society perfume gun.

Frederic Malle’s perfume gun is essentially the high-roller’s answer to Febreeze. It’s housed in a handsome ceramic bottle—that cheekily mimics its supermarket equivalents—and dispenses a refined fragrance that evokes a Parisian dinner party: a whiff of lavender, incense, musk. “April Fresh” it is not.

Buy Now Saks Fifth Avenue: $200

Best Gift for Maximalists 

Versace barocco silk foulard.

Silk scarves are to a woman’s wardrobe what ties are to a man’s: One can never have too many. Scarves afford even greater versatility; they double as headbands, belts, face masks. This one from Versace is sure to pep up any outfit with its graphic Baroque motif in vivid yellow.

Best Gift for Pet Parents 

Staud x c. bonz custom pet sweatshirt.

If the lady on your list is an animal lover, she’ll surely be impressed by this sweatshirt, which is custom embroidered with the likeness of whatever pet you specify. Just snap a shot (or swipe one from her Instagram), upload it and three to four weeks later, your one-of-a-kind gift will be ready to incite awwws.

Best Gift for Traditionalists 

Chanel no. 5 eau première.

Picking a fragrance for another person can be tricky, but Chanel No. 5 is the little black dress of perfume—always a good idea. This newer formulation lightens up the blend for a more delicate interpretation of the famed classic.

Buy Now on Chanel: $146

Best Gift for Ornamentalists

Guitam iridescent scarab pin.

Jewelry is personal. Some like bright and bubbly, others prefer romantic styles. But for those that gravitate toward more ornate offerings, pieces with a nomadic quality, Guita Mortinger is the name to know. The Iranian designer meticulously crafts pieces inspired by her heritage and extensive travels, the kinds of styles that just need to be shown off.

Best Gift for A-Listers

Sally lapointe cashmere silk cropped raglan sweater with marabou feathers.

Feathers, sequins, shimmering fabrics: In Sally LaPointe’s world, more is always more. Just ask Jennifer Lopez, one of the brand’s biggest supporters, who has been snapped wearing a slew of pieces from the designer. And if the woman in your life takes after JLo, an A-lister whose style is literally and figuratively in high feather, this attention-grabbing satin top is a must-buy.

Best Gift for Hostesses 

Tory burch lettuce ware serving platter.

Exceptional tableware makes for a happy home. This platter is part of a collaboration between fashion maven Tory Burch and ceramicist Dodie Thayer. The latter’s trompe l’oeil lettuceware has been collected by such celebrated hostesses as Jackie O, Bunny Mellon and Brooke Astor (Frank Sinatra was a fan, too).

Best Gift for Horologists

Cartier baignoire 1920 watch.

For another big-ticket gift, you could do much worse than a Cartier watch. We suggest opting for something a bit more idiosyncratic than the Tank, like this lithe Baignoire (named for its resemblance to the sinuous lines of a bathtub). This particular model nods to vintage 1920s iterations with a silvered dial, 18k-gold bezel and black alligator strap.

Ultimate Gift Guide

Custom lollipop pendant from retrouvaí.

Retrouvaí, the Los Angeles-based brand, designed by Kirsty Stone, is known for its instantly recognizable Lollipop rings and pendants inspired by mid-century cocktail rings in a confection of colors like green tourmaline set in carved pink opal or a royal blue sapphire set in chrysoprase. She is offering one client the opportunity to custom create an heirloom of their own—a Lollipop necklace from start to finish.

Six-Course Dinner From an Acclaimed Chef and Sommelier at the Rome Cavalieri Hotel

It’s not uncommon for diners at Heinz Beck’s restaurant, La Pergola, located just outside Rome, to pause and swoon—and not only over the food. Now, the chef will personally prepare a six-course meal on the restaurant’s private terrace for you, while sommelier Marco Reitano, one of Italy’s foremost wine experts, will offer guidance for pairings with each dish.

20+ Best Travel Gifts for Her

Quite a while ago I cobbled together a fun guide on the best travel gifts for her. These were mostly things I wanted or bought for myself, and boy, has a LOT of that changed since then! I thought I’d do a proper update on some of the best gifts for female travelers to help you shop for the wanderluster in your life!

For me, the older I get and the more conscious I am of what I own, the less I want or find that I need. I definitely urge you to check in with your female traveler to see what’s actually on her list. It’s great if you buy her an Audible subscription for a year, but what if she’s already got one or no longer is trying to listen to audiobooks? Then it’s kind of a waste.

Anyway, check this travel gift guide first for some ideas, and then try to get an idea of what she might be interested in!

20 Best Travel Gifts for Her

1. a diy travel entertainment kit.

I’m a big fan of DIY gifts as I think they show a lot more thought than just getting something expensive, plus it’s probably more wallet friendly! For my first DIY gift idea is to put together a DIY entertainment gift for your friend!

Think podcasts episodes, songs, ASMR playlists, books, Netflix suggestions… You could make it as simple as putting together a Spotify playlist the same length as their flight and pick all sorts of songs or podcasts you’d think she’d like. If you want to be creative, you could decorate little cards with lists and stickers and decorative fonts.

If you were really trying to be next level luxurious, get an iPad or something and download all the podcasts, songs, and shows that make you think of her and then slip it in her carry on when you say goodbye. Just give her a heads up it’s there for security!

2. DIY Travel Gift

I know, that label sounds super broad, but so is travel! And so are womens’ interests! What I’m saying is, whatever you put together should be related to her interests as well as travel. An easier example would be putting together a little travel gift based on a place she’s been wanting to visit. I have a whole gift guide for people who love Korea , for example. Get her a makgeolli kit and then plan a night, once it’s ready to drink, where you cook some sort of Korean dish together, try the makgeolli, and pop in a Korean movie or drama to watch. Top it off with a little donation to Liberty in North Korea under her name.

3. DIY Travel Beauty Bundle

This one is tricky because you truly need to know her beauty and skincare preferences before you go and make a kit like this. However, if you do, then this could be a really fun idea! I’d recommend buying some sort of compact but cute toiletry bag like this one or this one and then getting some sort of silicon travel bottles .

Then pick out her favorite products (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, etc) and decant then into the travel bottles. Bonus if she loves solid products like solid shampoo, conditioner, face wash, and more! I’d also tuck in some fancy face masks, like the gold Knesko ones or Dr. Jart . Maybe add in a nice face mist (I love Caudalie ) and, if you’re feeling really fancy, a face roller!

4. DIY Mini Travel Emergency Kit

Again, check with your traveler, but this is such an underrated thing most of us forget! Or maybe it’s just me. But this is a tiny kit of all the random things you forget you need until the very moment you need them.

I’m talking nail clippers (which are TSA approved!), tweezers, motion sickness pills, medicine for headaches or stomachaches, bandaids for those blisters, extra strength lotion for dry skin, mini alcohol bottles to clean wounds… Heck throw in some scrunchies because we’re always forgetting hair ties! If she has glasses, add in a microfiber cloth because that’s one thing I never have on me.

Pack it all up in a cute cosmetic bag, like this simple one or this super cute one . You can even personalize it more, like finding quirky bandaids or putting the pills in little boxes like these macaron ones .

Intangible Gift Ideas

5. an experience or tour.

This is more if you already know she’s got a trip or two planned in the near future! See if you can pry a bit and figure out what she’s doing and if there’s room to surprise her with a cool tour or experience while she’s there. I’m thinking something like a cooking class, a helicopter ride, or a day trip somewhere unique. This would obviously be MUCH easier if you were going with her on one of these trips!

6. Donation to a cause she loves

For example, have you guys traveled somewhere before and noticed organizations helping out? Like animal rescue/education groups, environmental groups, etc. If she’s passionate enough, see if you can make a special donation or something in her name!

Fun, Just Because Gifts

7. anywhere travel guide (card set).

How fun is does this card set look?

8. Travel jewelry

I do always think a pretty travel necklace or bracelet is a fun gift to give someone. Just make sure you know if they’re a gold, rose gold, silver, etc kind of person! You can make it as simple as a little airplane necklace. Another good idea is getting the coordinates of a town or somewhere she loves/wants to go and putting it on a bracelet for her.

9. A Travel Coloring Book to De-Stress and Inspire

For long airplane rides or in between trips, a good coloring book helps keep the creativity alive, de-stress, and inspire her next travels! I’ve been neglecting my coloring books, but I often like coloring in them when I listen to a podcast or audiobook.

10. The Perfect Tea Mug to Inspire Wanderlust

This is a pretty classic gift idea! I’m a big tea drinker, so when I have my own house someday, I just imagine have a hodgepodge of fun tea mugs I’ve bought or picked up around the world. You can make the mug personal, like some place she wants to go or a culture she adores. Or you could just do a fun travel quote!

11. Books, Books, Books!

Long train, plane, and car rides are easy with a good book. If she’s a Kindle gal (more on that below), then see if you can get her a Kindle Unlimited subscription or gift her with books she’s got on her wishlist (my Goodreads one is forever expanding). If she likes a nice, solid book, go to a local book store and pick them up (or, you know, order them on Amazon or Booktopia heh).

12. Fujilm Film Instax Mini 90

I’ve only ever played around with the Mini 8 and the WIDE 300 , so I was really pleasantly surprised when I got to play around with my friend’s Mini 90. The biggest win is that it doesn’t have automatic flash like the Mini 8, so all the photos we took didn’t wind up totally washed out!

Random, Practical Gifts

13. cord organizer.

I mean, this is probably the most boring but most practical gift ever to buy someone lol. Maybe don’t just buy her this, but I will say my friend, Stacey, got me one as part of a little birthday set and I use it all the time. I actually accidentally left it with her, and I can’t wait to get it back.

14. A Weighted Sleep Mask

Nothing is worse than if your seat mate wants to keep the window open with the bright sun when all you want to do is pass out. Or if you’re staying in a hostel dorm and there’s that one person who needs to keep turning their light on and off at night… Sleep masks are saviors, and a weighted one is like next level. I’m not kidding, my mom got me a weighted sleep mask last Christmas and I will never not travel with one again.

15. A Reusable, Filtered Water Bottle

Nothing will come more in handy than a reusable, filtered water bottle. Save money and waste in buying plastic bottles and stay hydrated while exploring by foot! I have a Hydroflask and in Vietnam I got a tumblr from Crafthouse that comes with a little carrier that I take with me everywhere.

More Expensive Gifts

I will never not travel without my Kindle. I don’t even have a fancy one, which I wouldn’t want anyway. The paperwhite Kindle lasts forever battery-wise, and I can store so many books on it! Perfect for my book challenges and actually reading. Plus it doesn’t hurt my eyes like a screen does after a while.

17. Gorgeous Luggage Set

I mean, this is a real splurge, but if she’s someone close to you, this is always an option. There are such gorgeous and practical luggage sets out there. I splurged and got myself this Desley one, which I actually do kind of regret because that white obviously gets dirty easily and I didn’t buy a suitcase cover like I should have… I also have an Away carry-on at home, which I bought when they were first becoming a thing in like… 2017! I’m pretty disappointed by their internal issues, so I do hope they improve in the future as I do love my suitcase and they offer them in so many chic colors.

18. Headphones

I mean, if you want to buy them the little apple pods, that could always be a good splurge. Or, which I prefer, something over the ears and noise cancelling, especially for a long flight. I’m telling you — download some ASMR playlists on Spotify. With good headphones, a weight sleep mask, and a good neck pillow, you might as well be in a spa than on an airplane!

19.   A Lightweight Camera to Capture Her Trip

Nothing is quite as annoying as lugging around a huge DSLR, but camera phone shots only go so far. Mirrorless cameras are the future for travelers, and the white Sony A6000 is one I’ve had on my radar for a while now.

20. A Classic Pair of Sunglasses for Everyday

For me it’s a black pair of wayfarers, but it could be whatever simple shape and neutral color you prefer. Not only do they protect your eyes, they help you look good in photos ;). Raybans  are always a classic to invest in, but there are always more inexpensive pairs out there.

21. An Audible Subscription

I kind of hate to admit it, but I’ve come to rely on listening to my books more than reading them of late. My eyes get tired really easily, especially with how often I’m on the computer for work, and I just want to close them while listening to a good story. I really like Audible because it’s only $15/month for a credit with the first month free. They usually have credit or 2 for 1 sales on popular books as well, so I’ve actually built up quite a collection to listen to!

22. A Stylish Crossbody

23. walkable sandals.

And, of course, good, comfortable shoes! I’m quite a big fan of Birkenstocks both for their arch support and ease of wear (I’m sorry I love the look of Chucks, but they’re too narrow for my feet sometimes, have no arch support, and are a pain to get on and off). I like the Birks with thinner straps rather than the super thick ones.

What would you add to this list of gifts for female travelers? I know I’m probably forgetting a ton!

Great ideas. Would love to get that leather weekend bag for Christmas!

Great gift guide! I’m on the market for a really nice backpack with protection for my camera and space for my small-ish laptop. I also love Birks!

Hammam towel could be an add-on as I find them personaly very helpful and versatile. Colouring book also is a good idea! Well thought..

Just in time! I’m starting to get the “What do you want for Christmas” question and I had no idea what to say honestly! Forgot how badly I wanted an instant camera lol

So many great ideas! I definitely found more than a few items to add to my own Christmas list :) I especially love #11–one of my favorite types of gifts to give and to get are experiences. I love the idea of the travel themed coloring books, too. Would be fun to get one of those!

Some great ideas here with Christmas just around the corner. I love to get and give experiences as gifts too, they create the most incredible memories and don’t clutter up my space.

Thanks for this article. With christmas coming up it is nice to get some ideas about what i could ask for. :) x

Great ideas here. I’m going to keep this handy for next time someone asks me what I want for my birthday/xmas! I recently got a Sony A6000 and it was a game changer – I love that it never weighs me down, and it takes amazing photos!

So many great ideas. I want to try that Fujilm Film Instax Mini 90. Oh, and I want a new sleeping mask and water bottle :)

Great suggestions! A passport cover is a good one. It protects your passport and I think a lot of people don’t realize that any damage to a passport makes it invalid.

A watch is integral! You never know when your phone is going to die, so having a watch is perfect so you don’t miss flights, etc!

Thank you you have some great ideas here. I had forgotten that my wife loves journals and she hasn’t had a decent one in a few years so that will first thing on my list of things to get her for Christmas.

I love Birkenstocks too, no matter how much people make fun of me and call me a crunchy hippie when I wear them. They are so durable, comfortable and long-lasting! A light-weight camera is also important for travel. I have a mirrorless LUMIX and love that it isn’t so heavy and bulky (though the lenses can still take up a lot of space).

Cute ideas, especially the weekender bag. I had an amazing one just like it that was stolen, and they’ve discontinued it so I couldn’t replace it. I’m going to check out the one you mentioned!

As the study explains, traveling helps build and maintain relationships. This is true in friendships but especially in romantic partnerships. 

If you’re reading this article, I probably don’t need to sell you on why you should travel. 

You’re already thinking of your favorite traveling couple or a giftee who loves travel, and I’m here to help out with some travel gift ideas.

Journeys of a Lifetime by National Geographic has more than 500 recommendations for amazing adventures and memorable experiences. 

From romantic destinations to thrilling journeys, this book has it all. 

This book would make a great wedding gift for a traveling couple. Imagine receiving this book at your wedding and spending time flipping through it with your partner, pointing out all the places you’d like to go.

(Psst: in search of great gift ideas for traveling couples that love food? National Geographic has a book similar to this centered around food experience).

Customizable Scratch-Off Map

I love when I get the chance to visit a different country. Partly, that’s because I can’t wait to get home and use my scratch-off world map!

Scratch-off maps make great gifts for couples who enjoy exploring the world together.

I love this specific option from Etsy because of the hand-drawn watercolor detailing. You can personalize it with your own wording (and font) across the bottom. 

I don’t think you can go wrong with this fun travel gift idea!

Looking for travel gift ideas for couples that both partners can use?

This sling bag is unisex, making it suitable for either partner to carry. 

Here’s why it’s useful: while exploring a new place, traveling couples usually shop together… which means they bring new items home. 

Even if you’re not shopping, you’ll need a space for items like water bottles, extra chargers, etc. 

This bag is just the right size to hold the things you carry or accumulate throughout your day, but is still easy to wear and hand off to each other.

Hanging Toiletry Bag

Although some people say that practical travel gifts can be tedious, I don’t find that true. For example, I think this hanging toiletry bag is a great gift. 

Couples share hotel rooms, and therefore, they share bathrooms.

Anyone who has shared a hotel bathroom knows how easily the sink space can fill up with toiletries… so keep items separate in a shared bathroom on the next trip with a hanging toiletry bag. 

This Elviros toiletry bag is an excellent choice because the (artificial) leather is water-resistant. The simple color options are suitable for anyone!

Passport Holders

Passport holders are always a good idea!

This is the perfect travel gift idea for couples who like to match. After all, any travel-loving couple will probably be best friends with each other…. and their passports.

I prefer this holder from Etsy because it’s a travel-themed gift that allows personalization by choice of color and name. 

Help them keep their passport secure and identifiable by gifting them this set. 

Just remember this listing is for one individual passport, so to form a set, you’ll have to purchase two.

Luggage Tags

How sweet would matching luggage tags for travel couples be?

This Etsy listing is for custom beautiful leather luggage tags. The tagline at the bottom reads “Traveling together since __ [Insert Year],” which makes them great gifts for couples because they honor an anniversary. 

Little details like this sound perfect for a travel couples’ gift. 

We all know a person who needs new luggage. If your giftee is one of those people, a lovely carry-on luggage like this Samsonite Omni is a great travel gift idea.  

When it comes to luggage, I’m on team hardshell. I just love how durable this luggage style is. I always lean towards choosing a dark color, so that I’ll worry less about the outside getting nicked or dirty.

P.S. This style comes in additional sizes if you want something other than a standard carry-on. 

Check out more suitcase options in our in-depth guide to hardshell luggage .

Luggage Scale

This handy little tool is one of the best gifts you can get your travel couple to save money.

Let me explain–

I purchased this luggage scale when I began to travel internationally, and I can’t stress enough how much I love it. 

I never have to worry about unplanned fees at the airport– one less thing to stress about when heading to different travel destinations.  

While this is a fun little gift, it’s also the perfect complement to any other luggage-related gifts listed above. 

Travel Pillow

The last thing anyone wants is a grumpy travel partner. A long travel day is conducive to… precisely that. 

That’s why a great gift idea for couples can be something seemingly mundane– like a travel pillow. 

Travel pillows come in handy on long flights. Sure, they improve your chances of sleeping, but they’re also great for overall comfort when you watch movies or read books. 

Encourage your travel-loving couple to try one out on their next flight! 

Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are great for keeping clothes organized. They can be the perfect couples travel gift for an adventurous couple.

I’m talking about a pair that enjoys camping trips and backpacking or who may be sharing a suitcase. 

Think Tank Photo cubes are one of our favorites to recommend because of their high-quality materials and see-through covers. 

The transparent outer shell helps you easily identify whose cube is whose– an excellent feature for couples. 

You can find more information about them (and other styles!) in our article that ‘unpacks’ whether packing cubes are worth it !

Cork Globe with Pushpins

As I mentioned, I think a perfect gift idea for travel couples is any sort of mark-off map.

Scratch-off maps are popular, but consider a globe if you feel like doing something a little more off-the-beaten-path!

The concept is the same: you mark each location you’ve traveled to with the included push pins.

Whenever I notice an item like this in someone’s home, I’m always drawn to check it out. 

I love how this travel gift idea is a piece of home decor and a conversation starter. You can truly get to know people by discussing travel stories.

Blanket 

It can be hard to know which travel gifts to pick for a honeymoon or a romantic trip.

I think an oversized beach towel or blanket is one of the best gifts for couples headed anywhere they’ll be spending time outdoors.

I always find myself using mine on trips, whether I’m headed to the beach or a city park.

This choice from Amazon is portable and large enough for two. The size helps keep couples close together and interacting in the same shared space instead of separated by singular towels. 

This memory box is a travel gift idea for couples to use once they’re home…but those gifts can be just as useful! 

I collect everything when I travel. Ticket stubs for transportation or museums, tour brochures– you name it, I keep it.

These items will end up in my scrapbooks…buuut it usually takes me some time to make that happen. 

In the interim, they live in a memory box like this. 

I’m especially fond of any memory boxes with an atlas print because it reminds me that what’s inside is from all over the world. 

Custom Travel Photo Drawing

If you’re looking for unique travel gifts for couples, get something truly unique: a custom Etsy artwork commission.

This seller creates digital watercolors using the photo you choose to include with your order. 

My best friend did this for her boyfriend after a memorable ski trip. She commissioned an artist to paint the mountain they had enjoyed skiing down the most. 

Now, it’s a decoration for their home that also has so much meaning behind it!

Custom Jigsaw Puzzle

Another unique travel gift idea is this custom jigsaw puzzle, a travel gift for the couple that has everything. 

Whether you’re looking for a gift idea for a couple you’re friends with, or you’re shopping for your significant other, I’m sure it won’t be hard to find some amazing photos from the couples’ travel adventures.

Pick your favorite image, and send it in with your Etsy order. The seller will create this beautiful wooden jigsaw puzzle. 

This gift will always be special because it’s intimately personalized to the travel couple who took the picture. 

Travel Buddy Tshirts

This set of travel buddy t-shirts is a fun gift idea.

You could wear these while traveling or just as pajama shirts in the hotel room. I’d lean towards the latter and enjoy it just as much. 

Or what about designating these travel gifts for couples as plane ride outfits? We all know how a long flight can make you feel…why not have a fun and comfy t-shirt to make it all that much better? 

Personalized Travel Ornament

Looking for travel gift ideas for the holidays? 

This personalized travel ornament makes another unique travel gift choice. 

This birch plywood engraved ornament is a fun gift for a couple that’s had a busy year. Simply list the destinations the Etsy seller should include, and they’ll create an etched ornament. 

Though the listing is pictured with four destinations, you can add additional signposts if your favorite travel couple has been extra busy with trips this year.

Personalized keepsakes make for unique gifts because they will be tailored entirely to the traveling couple you purchase them for.

Scrapbooks are another excellent gift idea for couples who love recording their travel memories.

Plus, if both partners enjoy contributing, this gift could encourage some real quality time together. 

This cherry and maple wood scrapbook has a beautiful atlas etching on the front, complete with the wording “The Adventures of Me + You.”

You can tweak the book to your liking with the choice of hardware colors, binding colors, and paper type. 

Sometimes, the best travel gifts can be ones you use after you return home.  

Couple’s Travel Journal

What do you get for a couple that travels a lot? 

A designated place to record their (many) travel memories!

This journal is a great gift idea because you can bring it on the trip or leave it at home. I’m biased towards recording things in the moment– this journal isn’t too heavy or large, so it’s possible to bring it with you.

At the same time, days can get busy and full when traveling. They also have the option to leave this at home and spend quality time recounting their trip together upon their return.

I love the versatility that this gift offers. 

Ticket Shadow Box

It’s possible to get travel-themed gifts for couples that blend in with their home nicely. 

This shadow box frame has an opening at the top, which allows you to fill it with items like ticket stubs or beer caps.

I love that whenever you look at this box, it’s an instant reminder of adventure. 

I think this ticket shadow box is the perfect gift for couples looking for a way to decorate their home.

Airbnb Gift card

Let’s talk getaway gifts for couples: whether you want to help fund a weekend getaway or a romantic getaway for a honeymoon, consider helping with the accommodation cost. 

There are so many creative and fun AirBnbs that are getaways in their own right. For example, my friend and her boyfriend had a blast staying in a cozy A-Frame cottage with a lofted bed and deck with a hot tub. 

If you find a specific AirBnb you like enough, then you can center your entire vacation around it!

Depending on your budget, a choice like this can easily become a luxury travel gift for a couple.

Ah, the good ol’ selfie stick. I was actually looking to see if it would make the list because I want to get one for our upcoming vacation. It gets old asking people to take all your pictures for you! Glad to know I won’t be totally outdated buying one in 2019.

Possibly my friends will be first angry for them considering that they aren’t allowed to travel but well… I take the risk, I know they’ll love it!

Thanks for the ideas! My boyfriend loves it so much!!!

I love that you listed something for every budget. Those passport holders are sooo cute!

10 Best Travel Gifts for COUPLES (2024 Edition)

Need gift ideas for a traveling couple?

You’ve come to the right place.

Dayan and I have been traveling the world together on and off for the past 3 years. Exploring new places is one of our biggest passions in life…

And you know what that means?

It makes finding gifts for us super easy!

When shopping for a travel couple, not do you know EXACTLY what they like. But you can also kill two birds with one stone. Instead of hunting for two individual gifts, you can find something they can BOTH use on the road.

And that’s exactly what I’m gonna help you do today.

Here is a list of unique travel gifts for couples that they can enjoy TOGETHER.

If you need even more gift ideas for the adventurous couple in your life, these posts will help: ▶ 15 Unique Travel Gifts for Women ▶ 10 Unique Travel Gifts for Men ▶ 35 Fun Road Trip Gifts for Adventurers ▶ Overall Best Gifts for Travelers (for ANY type of traveler imaginable)

Table of Contents

#1.) Scented Candles for Travelers

#2.) our bucket list adventures: a journal for couples, #3.) travel buddies matching t-shirts, #4.) mr. and mrs. travel eye masks, #5.) personalized traveling couple luggage tags, #6.) personalized adventure fund, #7.) national geographic’s ultimate journeys for two: extraordinary destinations on every continent, #8.) eno doublenest travel hammock, #9.) mallome hammock suspension system, #10.) scratch-off world map, bonus: trx go travel suspension training exercise kit, best travel gifts for couples recap.

These scented candles are a unique travel gift that’ll help your travel couple keep the romance alive on the road.

They are smoke-free, come in a travel-friendly tin, and have a total burning time of around 100-120 hours. (That’s a lot of special nights!)

This is a travel gift for couples that will help them create beautiful memories together. In this couple’s bucket list journal, there are activities to help brainstorm a list of 50 adventures they’d like to do together.

Once they start going on these adventures, there’s a space to add a journal entry and a favorite photo from their trip.

I can totally picture my wife and I wearing these shirts on travel days. 

These t-shirts are cute travel gifts for couples (or BFFs) who like to show the world how adorable they are. 

If you decide to go with this gift, make sure to buy both a “right arrow version” and a “left arrow version” (sold separately).

Speaking of adorable matching travel gear, this Mr. and Mrs. Travel Eye Mask Set is a good travel gift for couples who spend a lot of time sleeping (or trying to sleep) in planes, buses, airports, or anywhere with annoying light. 

Each set is made of a soft satin material for ultimate comfort. This is perfect for couples who don’t like waking up with tired and baggy eyes.

These personalized luggage tags are another cute travel gift idea for couples.

They come engraved with the person’s name and how long they’ve been traveling with their partner (see photo).

Great for long-term couples as well as new couples just starting their adventure together.

Need a good travel gift for couples who are in the “Savings Phase”? If so, this could be the one.

This personalized adventure fund is a beautifully-designed savings box—etched with a couple’s names— where they can drop in their cash savings and watch it grow. 

This box also works well as a wedding or bridal shower gift box.

This adventure book, written by the “World’s Longest Honeymooners”, is jam-packed with little-known destinations and things to do as a traveling couple . 

Each destination idea includes insider tips and everything a couple needs to know to plan an amazing trip. 

I travel with a hammock. And to be honest, I’ve lugged it around to many places and have only used it a handful of times (ok maybe “lugged” is a strong word, it’s not that big).

However, each one of those “hammock days” was UNFORGETTABLE.

There’s nothing like stumbling on an empty pristine beach, finding the perfect palm trees to hang your hammock, and swinging away the afternoon.

I recommend the ENO Doublenest Hammock. It’s ridiculously sturdy, is easy to set up, and can fit two people (but is also comfortable with one).

Here’s a great additional gift for travelers who already have a hammock. 

These special MalloMe hammock suspension straps make setting up a hammock a gajillion times easier. 

No more monkeying around with ropes, trying to learn complicated knots, or wondering if your hammock will crash to the ground the second you sit in it.

Best of all, these straps can support up to 400 pounds—perfect for couples who want to snuggle together.

This giant poster map won’t fit in their luggage, but it will be an inspirational piece of wall art for your travel couple to hang in their homes.

Every time they visit a new country, they can scratch off the gold foil covering that destination to reveal a colorful map underneath.

Whenever they see the map hanging on the wall, they’ll (1) remember the amazing adventures they’ve had, and (2) remember how many places they still have to explore.

It’s hard to for couples (or anyone) to stay fit on the road. 

Depending on the type of traveler, people usually either get chunky, or they turn into bean poles.

This lightweight Travel TRX Exercise Kit is basically a portable gym, and will help your traveling couple stay fit and sexy for each other.

As you can see, gift shopping for traveling couples requires a bit of creativity.

Finding something practical that they can BOTH use as they’re globetrotting around the world is quite the challenge. But if you stick to the gift ideas on this list, you can’t go wrong.

Your gift will not only be a handy addition to their adventurous lives, but it’ll also bring them closer together ♥️

The Best 7-Year Anniversary Gifts

Browse traditional and modern picks to celebrate this special milestone.

We've been independently researching and testing products for over 120 years. If you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Learn more about our review process.

You probably didn't know, but each anniversary has its special themes and symbols. The traditional wedding anniversary gifts when you reach seven years are copper and wool , and they symbolize a broad spectrum of emotions, including love, durability and comfort. If wool and copper aren't cutting it, there are other, more modern options for seven-year anniversaries. Want to skip the traditional route? The modern equivalents are stationary and desk sets . Each wedding anniversary also has a gem, flower and color attached to it, so you've got plenty of options.

7th Anniversary Symbols

• Traditional : Copper and wool
• Modern: Stationery and desk sets
• Flower: Freesia
• Color: Yellow

Scroll on to read more about the symbolism behind these gifts at the bottom of this guide, but first, check out our editors' picks for the best seventh-anniversary gifts. There's something for everyone on this list, whether your tastes run traditional, modern, or a mix of the two, so read on for some serious gift-giving inspiration .

Copper Gifts

Wind Chimes

These beautiful wind chimes are a steal at under $20, especially since you can choose soprano or alto tones. They're also made of copper, which is traditionally given for seven-year anniversaries.

Electric Salt and Pepper Grinder Set

They can spice up any home-cooked dinner with this electric grinder set. In minutes, they can flip the gravity-activated grinder upside down for fresh salt and pepper.

Copper Measuring Cups and Spoons

Now here's a gift that's equal parts beautiful and useful. These copper measuring cups and spoons are sure to please any home chef. They feature long handles that makes them comfortable to use and they have holes to hang them from a knife rack, inside a kitchen cabinet, you name it.

Bartender Kit

Whether your longtime love is an expert mixologist or just getting into the craft, this copper bartender kit would make a great anniversary gift. Plus, Amazon reviewers say it's a good value for the money considering it's a complete set.

Industrial Brass & Copper Drink Dispenser

Put their favorite liquor on tap with this industrial-inspired drink dispenser. The handmade copper design, which is mounted to a reclaimed wood board, is the perfect addition to any home bar (where you can toast to your anniversary, of course!).

"Lucky in Love" Personalized Penny Art

No two couples will get the same work of art when you purchase this gift. The plaque celebrates your relationship from the moment you met to the day you married to your anniversary date, and you can also add your names to make it even more one-of-a-kind.

Sunset Everlasting Sunset Everlasting Candle Set

Just like your marriage, these copper-colored candles will last forever. This set includes three reusable steel oil candlesticks, a pretty glass vase and enough oil to last for 50 hours.

Hammered Copper Butter Keeper

Butter isn't usually the star of the table, but it will be in this striking butter dish , which is made from solid copper with a food-safe tin lining. The dish is handcrafted by artisans in Turkey.

Moscow Mule Mugs

Bring a little fun to their cocktail hour with these hammered copper mugs that are perfect for Moscow Mules. The copper keeps the drinks extra cold, so even if they don't like vodka, they can be used for any other iced drinks.

Copper Rain Gauge

They'll appreciate this gift idea especially if they're into gardening. This copper rain gauge acts on Archimedes' Principle. The upward buoyant force exerted on anything immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces — meaning the gauge pops up each time it rains.

Opux Pour-Over Coffee Kettle

True coffee lovers will enjoy this pour-over coffee kit , which delivers bold brews and strong flavors. Amazon reviewers say they love the control they have over the temperature, and that it makes coffee taste better.

Copper 7th Wedding Card

If you’re going to get a card, make it meaningful. This anniversary card comes complete with a seven-year anniversary keepsake — the word "love" spelled out in copper wire.

"It is soft, seems like great quality, and was heavier than I expected. The colors and patterns are beautiful!" one shared.

Convertible Gloves

These convertible gloves are perfect on the go, providing enough warmth and versatility for their everyday needs. Flip the tops off when it's time to text, and pop them back on when it gets cold again.

Men's Wool Socks

Pregnancy is a special time, full of joy and expectation. But, it can also be difficult on your wife, with a host of unpleasant symptoms like morning sickness, lack of sleep and aches and pains. There are lots of ways to support your wife during her pregnancy, and one of those ways is by surprising her with a gift. Maybe it's a holiday or special occasion that falls during those nine months. Or perhaps you just want to do something special for her just because. In any case, a gift for your pregnant wife might be just what she needs to brighten her day.

Need some ideas? We get it. It can be difficult to come up with gift ideas for your wife , and that's especially the case when she's pregnant! Should you give her something pregnancy specific, or something just for her? As long as your gift is from the heart, she's sure to appreciate your kind gesture. Here, we've curated this roundup of 20 of the best gifts for your pregnant wife.

1. Pregnancy Journal

Looking for the best Mother's Day gift for your pregnant wife? This beautiful linen pregnancy journal contains a place for all of her notes and thoughts as she embarks on this special journey, with sections for each trimester and even a place for a special note to your baby. Each page features hand drawn art and lined paper so she can stay organized as you both prepare for the baby's arrival.

2. Sweat-Busting Sheets

Night sweats are common during pregnancy, and they'll really start to kick up once she reaches the third trimester. Stay ahead of things and help her sleep more comfortably with this luxurious sheet set from Cozy Earth. Made of moisture-wicking viscose from bamboo, these sheets feel buttery soft but will keep you both cool and dry as you sleep. Choose from tons of chic colors and twin to California king sizing.

3. Luxury Care Package

From up-and-coming luxury baby brand Nurtured9 comes this enviable gift basket, which would make an amazing Christmas or holiday gift for your pregnant wife. The beautiful (and reusable!) basket is chock full of upscale gifts for your wife, and for the baby once they arrive. This beautifully curated gift includes thoughtful items like a nursing-friendly robe for mom, a bath bomb and dry brush, and a pretty blanket, lovey and BPA-free teether for baby.

4. Comfy Sock Set

When she's pregnant, she's probably seeking comfort above all else. And there's nothing like a pair of cozy socks to amble around the house on weekends. We love this three-pack of neutral colored socks from Cozy Earth. Made of super-soft viscose from bamboo, these stretchy socks feature an attractive ribbed pattern and a tiny branded tag at the top.

5. Body Care Gift Set

Itchy skin and stretch marks are just a few of the side effects she might be facing now that she's growing your little one inside. That's why skin care is extra important during these nine months. You'll be the star of the show when you wrap up this gift set from The Honest Company, featuring four of the brand's most coveted skin care products. This set includes full-sized products like body cleansing oil, body butter, body oil and jelly to soothe stretch marks and keep her skin glowing.

6. Pregnancy Gift Box

Especially if this is her first pregnancy, she'll be absolutely thrilled when this fun pregnancy-specific gift box arrives at her door. This subscription service will tailor a gift box to the trimester your wife is in, stuffing it full of things she'll enjoy using during that particular phase of her pregnancy. Think: morning sickness remedies during the first trimester, a frame to hold an ultrasound picture during the second trimester and pregnancy-safe body products during the third trimester.

7. Hatch Gift Box

Looking for the best comfort gifts for a pregnant wife? Look no further than this gift box from upscale maternity brand Hatch. She'll unwrap everything she needs for the ultimate in pregnancy comfort for all nine months and beyond, including briefs, a nightgown, a robe and a pair of cozy socks. They're all made of buttery soft bamboo fabric, which offers a lightweight, stretchy feel that won't make her feel restricted or overheated.

8. Ultra-Soft Leggings

If your wife is like most pregnant people, she's practically living in leggings these days. Comfortable, forgiving and stretchy, leggings have a way of making those nine long months that much more bearable. So don't hesitate to wrap some up, like this luxurious pair from Hatch Collection. These versatile, ankle-length leggings include a panel that can be worn below or over her bump, and come in three colors and a variety of sizes to suit every body.

9. Pregnancy Birth Affirmations

This set of beautiful affirmation cards would make a great birthday gift for your pregnant wife. This deck features 20 hand-drawn cards, each with beautiful art and an accompanying affirmation to help her feel strong, centered and confident throughout her pregnancy.

10. Pregnancy Pillow

If she's having a tough time getting comfortable (totally understandable!), nothing will touch her heart quite like a comfort gift for your pregnant wife. Try this U-shaped pregnancy pillow to cradle her entire body from head to toe, and give her the best chance of some quality shut-eye while she's growing your little one. A removable cover makes for easy washing while the soft material wraps her in cozy comfort.

11. Watercolor Ultrasound Art

One of the biggest milestones of your pregnancy journey is the "big" ultrasound, where you and your wife get to see your baby on the big screen and check out all those adorable tiny parts. Make the moment last with this watercolor painting of your baby's ultrasound photo. In our opinion, it's one of the best gifts for a pregnant wife out there. This one, from Etsy shop thePurplePear, comes in a host of different background colors and sizes.

12. Heart-Shaped Pendant

If cupid strikes during those nine months, you might find yourself searching for the perfect Valentine's gift for your pregnant wife. This garnet and diamond heart-shaped pendant is sure to put a smile on her face! And remember - not all gifts have to be pregnancy related. She'll love the fact that she can wear this for many years to come; plus, it'll likely remind her of this super special time you two shared before baby's arrival.

13. Spa Gift Card

Pregnancy comes with its share of aches and pains, which is why she'll go ga-ga over the thought of getting a prenatal massage, or another of her favorite pregnancy-approved spa services. Make it happen when you give her a gift card in the denomination of your choice from SpaFinder, which is redeemable at tons of spas in the US.

14. Laser-Engraved Mama Tumbler

What better way to pay homage to her new favorite job title than this tumbler with the word MAMA laser inscribed on the front? We think this would be a perfect birthday gift for your pregnant wife. Pretty florals rest atop a trendy geometric design on this stainless steel tumbler that will help keep her hydrated during her pregnancy.

15. Funny Pregnancy Book

We're guessing your wife has been devouring all the pregnancy books she can get her hands on in preparation for meeting your new little one. So if you're looking for cool gifts for your pregnant wife who loves to read, be sure to check out this hilarious book. The Rebel Mamas Handbook for Cool Moms shoots straight from the hip, with real talk about what to expect and what she'll deal with during pregnancy and beyond. It's the perfect handbook for "cool moms."

16. Fuzzy Slippers

Comfort is king during pregnancy, and you'll be royalty when you wrap up these luxurious slippers for your pregnant wife. OluKai is a top brand in footwear, thanks to their sustainable business model and top-notch products. And these shearling slippers are no exception, with generous padding in the footbed and a sturdy rubber sole. What's more, these will be just as nice to slip on during those middle-of-the-night feedings once baby's born.

17. Bouquet of Flowers

When it comes to the best gifts for your pregnant wife, sometimes a classic gift is the best way to go. And there's nothing more time-honored than giving the gift of a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Head over to The Bouqs Co.'s website to choose from one of their gorgeous arrangements as a thoughtful gift for your pregnant wife. Whether you're marking a special occasion like her birthday or just giving her some encouragement to make it through the day, she's sure to appreciate it.

18. Fashionable Diaper Bag

She might not admit it, but if she's pregnant, there's a good chance this cult favorite diaper bag is on your wife's list of secret desires. Sure, it's a splurge, but this water-resistant backpack-style diaper bag is the "it" item for new parents. And you'll be a hero in her eyes when she unwraps it, trust us! The generously sized interior has space for everything she'll need, and the perfect amount of pockets, too, while the padded shoulder straps ensure she stays comfortable while lugging baby's essentials. A streamlined look and neutral colors make this a gender neutral selection so both partners can help share the load.

19. Anthropologie Candle

If there's one thing Anthropologie is known for, it's their amazing candles. And this pretty little candle just happens to say MOM in gold letters, making it the perfect gift for your pregnant wife. Wrap it up as a small gift to say thanks for carrying your baby, or pair it with a few other gifts and present a basket as a birthday gift for your pregnant wife. This 12-ounce candle will fill your space with the lush scent of gardenia, and contains a pregnancy-safe plant-based wax blend.

20. Weekend Getaway

Looking to level it up? Gift your pregnant wife a weekend getaway for the two of you before baby's arrival! We can't think of a better anniversary gift for your pregnant wife, if yours happens to be during those nine months. The Getaway website lets you book a rustic cabin in one of several US locations, for just a night or several, depending on what you're looking for. It's a great way for you both to connect without the hustle and bustle of the demands of everyday life.
