Whether they travel solo or with kids, explore domestically or internationally, prefer indoors or outside, here are some additional gift ideas for all of the travel lovers on your list:
- Airplane Pockets Tray Table Organizer — Keep in-flight essentials organized and avoid germy surfaces with this stretchy, washable cover that slips over the tray table.
- Apple Air Tags and Waterproof Cases — If you check a bag, toss one of these inside. Even if the airline loses your luggage, you’ll still be able to track it down! These are also great for sports equipment like dive gear and ski coats as well as children’s backpacks.
- Rumpl Puffy Blanket — About the size of a water bottle, this blanket is surprisingly warm for its size and great for camping, flights, sporting events, and napping anywhere you like.
- Compression Tabi Socks — These merino wool socks are perfect for avoiding swollen legs and ankles on long flights, which also means avoiding potential issues with deep vein thrombosis. And the split toe means you can slip on lightweight flip flops for trips to the bathroom in flight.
- Cooling Gel Neck Wrap — Soak this in water before you head outdoors, and you’ll stay cool as a cucumber no matter how hot it is. Great for gardeners and athletes, too!
- Portable USB-Charged Fan — We’ve been the envy of many people on overheated airplanes and buses, we’ve lingered longer at sweltering outdoor cafes, and we’ve been able to get a good night’s sleep in hotels without air conditioning thanks to this wonderful little fan, which works equally well as a handheld or tabletop device.
- 32 Degrees Packable Puffy Coat — One of Oprah’s favorite things and one of Angela’s, too! This takes up very little room in a suitcase and is thin enough to layer beneath a rain jacket.
