Mini Crossbody $22

We all gotta keep our valuables safe while traveling, right? So I love this mini crossbody for keeping the essentials organized. It can store cards, cash, a phone, and a few extras and comes in a million cute colors.

Weekender Bag $36

While I am a Bento Bag evangelist, I love this budget-friendly option from Bagsmart. Perfect for an under-seat bag, it fits most airlines’ personal item requirements, packs flat like a suitcase, and has plenty of pockets for organization.

Away Carry-on $295

If you are looking for more of a splurge gift for an experienced traveler, you can’t go wrong with an Away bag. These have become the gold standard in the past few years because they are high-quality and stacked with great features.

Travel Wallet $20

I love this oversized travel documents wallet with RFID protection. Perfect for families traveling together or just someone who prefers keeping their documents close and all in one place. The wristlet keeps it close while traversing busy airports and allows the wallet to double as a clutch.

Portable Door Lock $18

Great for your favorite solo traveler, this portable door lock adds an extra layer of security to hotel rooms and Airbnbs for a bit of extra peace of mind.

For the Beauty Lover

Travel Makeup Brush Set $12

I love the concept of this super compact brush set with a large mirror, perfect for saving space and setting up a portable vanity.

Makeup Sponge Holder $6

If any of your makeup-loving friends are fans of the beauty blender, this little sponge holder is a great stocking stuffer idea to help keep their makeup bag clean.

Jewelry Case $10

This glamorous velvet jewelry case will help keep your fashionable friend organized on the go; the addition of the mirror inside is an added bonus.

Replica Memory Box Perfume Set $40

This dreamy perfume discovery set features scents inspired by destinations, seasons, and familiar moments, plus each bottle is the perfect size for travel.

For the Techie

Nintendo Switch $299

I recently got myself a Switch, and I’m obsessed. Super portable and easy to take along, it’s a great plane or train activity that can be loaded with plenty of games for any type of gamer.

AirFly Bluetooth Transmitter $33

This absolutely genius device makes those annoying airplane headphone jacks Bluetooth compatible with your favorite headphones.

Anker Noise Cancelling Headphones $50

A more affordable alternative to Airpods but as well-designed, these chic headphones make noisy plane rides more bearable.

Anker Portable Charger $28

One of my all-time favorite travel items, you can’t go wrong with a portable charger to ensure your phone is always ready to roll on a trip.

Fujifilm Instax Mini $129

Although film cameras can be a bit of a pain to fly with, being able to bring home some polaroid memories is priceless.

For the Adventurer

Retro Mini Bluetooth Speaker $16

This adorable Bluetooth speaker can add a little ambiance for your bestie who loves sitting by the pool or the ocean.

Lifestraw Portable Water Filter $13

If your favorite adventure traveler is often out hiking or camping, this Lifestraw portable filter makes natural water safe to drink.
