18 Best Travel Gifts for Men & Women

This tripod is truly perfect for anyone who is passionate about documenting solo travels. It’s lightweight and easy to carry with the included travel case, and it features adjustable height legs and rubber feet which make for the perfect angle each and every time. This tripod is compatible with most video cameras, digital camera, still cameras, GoPro devices, and scopes, but keep in mind you will need an adapter (not included) to use this tripod with his smartphone.

The two built-in bubble view levels and 3-way head allow for tilt and swivel motion and are adjustable for portrait or landscape options. Finally, the quick-release mounting plate allows for fast transitions between shots.

At right around $24 for the tripod and carrying case, this gift is an excellent value. Under $25 for a quality piece of equipment that is lightweight, compact, and includes a variety of features is a total steal and well worth the investment for something any traveler will use trip after trip.

Anker PowerCore 10000, is one of the smallest and lightest portable chargers of its size currently on the market. Not only will you be able to go days of use without having to charge this high capacity power bank, but the PowerIQ and VoltageBoost technology combine to deliver the fastest possible charge. When it comes time to recharge the power bank itself, it will only take around 2 to 4 hours, depending on the amp of charger used. All of that being said, if you’re looking for a portable charger that will stick with you for days in airports or on camping trips, this is definitely the charger for you.

You may be able to find a charging port for less than the $25 price tag on this bad boy (plus $3 discount currently being offered by Amazon), but you’ll be hard pressed to find a charger that holds nearly as much power as this one. For the price and features you can expect, we think you’ll find this gift to be an excellent value.

The Bose SoundLink Revolve Portable Bluetooth 360 Speaker can connect to your tablet or smartphone to give you great sound. Whether you’re on the beach for the afternoon or you’re traveling in Europe, this is the sound accessory for you. The speakers feature silicone buttons to keep dirt away. And the rechargeable battery can last up to 14 hours, perfect for those long days by the pool.

While these speakers are the top of the line, you can get a much cheaper portable speaker here (though, it’s perhaps more a personal option rather than a family treat). But if sound quality truly matters, you will want to consider these Bose headphones. They’re not cheap, but they’re oh so good looking.

With this baby, you’re always prepared to have a movie showing anywhere. This is a perfect gift for crazy travelers and movie buffs. It has an ultra-bright 125 lumen LED light engine and can connect via HDMI, VGA, Composite inputs plus SD-HC and USB readers.

This pocket projector weighs approximately 12.8 ounces. The P4-X has 15,000 hour LED’s that can create an image up to 80″. Set up and have a presentation anywhere you can find a wall to project onto.

The fully loaded, wet/dry washable ES8103S boasts a three-blade shaving system for maximum coverage and closeness, even on the toughest parts of your beard! It’s the perfect razor for travelers – and a travel pouch comes included in the bundle.

This razor’s 30º angle blades cut hair at its base, and a flexible pivoting head lets the shaver float effortlessly along your facial contours. A fast linear motor eliminates the tugging and pulling that can occur with slower shavers, and you’ll get peak power right up to the end of a charge.

We think this travel pack makes a perfect stocking stuffer for travelers. And, if they’re away all the time, these travel slippers will make them a little more comfortable while missing home.

There are serious pros to this charging port. It has ten different ports so you don’t need to move wires around all the time. But, you can’t charge everything to the full potential when you plug gadgets into every port; there’s a 12 amps max charge flowing through this it at any time. That said, every port works with smart tech so it charges each device optimally. Pretty cool, right? And, the sale price isn’t bad either.

Picking this (or any other charging unit) as a Christmas gift? You can hardly go wrong with extra cables. These Anker cables are excellent. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to maximize the plug points in a hotel room so you can manage computers, razors, and portable tech at the same time. And this is just the adaptor to make it possible.

Whether you’re headed overseas or just to the other edge of the country, time changes can make life difficult. Even if you can hear your phone alarm, it may not register. And, let’s face it, you’ll want a clock if you’re in European hotel rooms. This small gift is brilliant for solving lots of problems, even the ones you didn’t know existed.

If you’re not sold on the benefits of a travel alarm clock, you absolutely should take a look at the airplane footrest found elsewhere on this list. And, anyone that’s constantly on the go will appreciate this foot massager in their stocking. Promise.

Traveling with a briefcase-styled carry-on screams power.  But, when you’re passing through airport security almost constantly you will want something truly comfortable and convenient.

What’s excellent about this organizer is that it can take devices and wires of just about any size. And, you can tailor it the way you want. That means you can put your iPod cable and headphones next to the iPod itself rather than tucking them into different areas of your bag. And, you don’t need to fuss with zippers and other closures to make it easier than ever to get to your stuff.

If you’re looking for a more traditional cord and gadget organizer, this one is excellent. And then, there are these packing cubes which can make any suitcase a lot easier to deal with.

Grooming doesn’t stop when you’re on the road. And thank heavens for that. But, it does mean you’ll need to store those grooming items somewhere. Everything from razors to lotions should be tucked into pockets that keep it safe from the other stuff in your luggage. We like this bag because it’s sturdy and because the big pockets can handle lots of personal items. And, this is a stylish addition to any traveler’s kit.

Now, if you’re keen on a terrific travel bag, but want something that hangs in hotel bathrooms, this one from Vetelli is also super stylish, maybe more so. And, if your traveler really does need to tote a lot of stuff back and forth on a regular basis, this bag will really bring a smile to their face.

Make expense reports easy. This portable wand scanner scans color (or black & white) images with just a wave of your hand. Images are saved directly to a memory card, but this baby is also WiFi enabled.

This wand scanner will be perfect for those emergency situations at the office when you need to scan a document quickly. It features built-in time and date setting, automatic white balance, and USB 2.0 High-Speed PC Interface. It’s also a great device to have while traveling on a business trip.

You’ll need an SD card to store documents. Fortunately, you can pick up some memory here. And, if travel involves lots of documents, this mobile printer is easier to deal with than the hassles of business center printers.

This brand is all about quality and precision. Although this is a basic set, it will last you an extraordinarily long time. And, it’s worth the investment if you need a travel set to bounce around the world with you.

Perfect for travel, this three piece luxury grooming kit consists of essential, quality, and precision grooming tools beautifully packaged in an elegant brown neat’s leather case. It features a stainless steel twinox slim line folding nail clipper for precision clipping, tainless steel nail file to shape and smooth nail edges, and stainless steel rotary ear and nose hair trimmer with a brush for a neat, well-groomed look.

Don’t need the nose hair trimmer? This men’s manicure set is rather stylish too. 

Long haul flights really take their toll on a body. And, unless you’re lucky enough to sit in business class every time you board an airplane, you know just how uncomfortable you’ll be mid flight. While the complementary gin and tonic will help, this foot rest will do wonders. It helps with circulation and relieves pressure on even the longest flights.

Truth be told though, you should probably combine this foot hammock with a travel pillow. And, this is the best eye mask for long flights and international hotels. We think the international traveler in your life will flip for a box with all three.

Airplanes smell. Hotel rooms aren’t always better. And if you’re traveling overseas, you never know what you’re going to get. This air purifier makes it all so much easier to deal with. Sure, it’s on the pricey side, but have you ever woken up after a sleep on a long-haul flight?

If smells don’t bother the traveler that hates traveling so often, this eye mask that also allows you to listen to music anywhere will help to block out the discomfort of being on the plane or in the hotel room. And, this iPad hanger transforms the back seat of any airplane into a hands-free entertainment center; you know, for those the domestic, frill-free airlines.
