The Ultimate Travel Gear Gift Guide for 2024
Gifts For The Aspiring Traveler
Think of these gifts as the "starter kit" for aspiring travelers. Not only the must-have gear to get going on adventures, but also fun gifts and gear to spark the travel bug in anyone.
NEW CARRY-ON SUITCASE
For a big ticket gift item, something that all travelers are always look to update, is their suitcases. We tend to stick to carry-on travel only and have a few recommendations to encourage the traveler in your life to do the same!
The Monos Carry-On Pro is a traveler’s dream luggage. With a sleek style and extra protective material, this will be top of their list.
Another great option is the Away Bigger Carry-On Flex. This luggage comes at a similar price point to the Monos carry-on but offers an expandable section to be able to expand or collapse the size of the rollerbag depending on amount of items or airline restrictions.

A bright color is a great way for a new traveler to be able to easily spot their bags. These colorful luggage tags come in a set 2 and are at a great price point!
For extra personalization, opt for these leather monogrammed leather tags so there’s no question whose bag is whose!

STARTER TOILETRY SET

You can also never go wrong with gifting reliable, leak-proof liquids containers for toiletries. These are a must-have and can be a game-changer for travel.

Gifts For The Frequent Flyer
Whether your favorite traveler is jetting off for work or heading home on weekends to visit family, there are essential items every frequent flyer will appreciate.
These thoughtful gifts are ideal for quick weekend getaways or extended hotel stays—two common types of trips where travel comforts make all the difference.
DRINK HOLDER
Frequent travel can be exhausting. A pick-me-up is a must to make it through! For a hands-free Starbucks stop, gift a travel drink holder that slips over a suitcase handle. With another pouch to hold your phone or passport, this easy add on makes boarding a breeze.

STYLUS PEN
Work doesn’t stop at 10,000 feet. For business travelers, the plane is just an extension of the office. For a seamless transition from desk to seat 3C, gift a bluetooth stylus for their iPad or Tablet. Paired with portable bluetooth mouse and foldable keyboard, the skies are their new corner office.

SLIP ON SHOES
An airplane floor is questionable at best, but stiff shoes can get uncomfortable especially if you frequent the skies. Gift a more comfortable option with FITKICKS foldable, slip-on shoes.
These are great for a trip to freshen up in the airplane bathroom or for keeping clean in the hotel (another questionable floor).

DUAL-SIDED COMPRESSION CUBES
One great advantage of quick, frequent trips is the minimal packing required. To make the most of a weekender bag, a set of compression cubes is essential. This set from Tripped is thoughtfully designed to fit perfectly into a weekender or duffle bag.
Not only do these cubes save space with their compression feature, but they’re also dual-sided for maximum organization. Use them to separate clean and dirty clothes or to organize outfits by day and night. A travel essential for any frequent flyer looking to pack smarter and stay organized.

PORTABLE STEAMER
Frequent travel hack: Hang up clothing in the bathroom while you take a steamy shower. Easier way to get rid of wrinkles in a pinch!
If you have a big event or no time to set up your suit on the shower curtain, opt for a portable clothes steamer. Your clothes will look like you just walked into the office, not right off of a flight.
