73 Best Travel Gifts for Book Lovers, Beauty Gurus, & Everyone Else on Your List

By Madison Flager and Paris Wilson

When it comes to choosing the best travel gifts, there are many routes to take: You can get your go-to vacation companion something practical that they'll reach for every time they take out their carry-on. Or, you can gift something to encourage them to start planning their next trip (and hopefully invite you along). There are also gifts that bring travel to them, making the space between adventures feel a bit more like a vacation, and experience gifts to make their next trip even more exciting. No matter the occasion, or the traveler, we've rounded up nearly 60 travel gifts from brands we love, so you can find something for each person on your list.

For even more specific gift guides, be sure to check out all our recommended gifts for travelers, which we've gathered for you here . And keep an eye on the calendar—the sooner the better if you're shipping presents straight to a giftee, or mailing to yourself to wrap. Standard free shipping deadlines end as early as December 13 for delivery by Christmas, so aim to order by that date if you're hoping to avoid shipping costs.

This gallery has been updated with new information since its original publish date.

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.

Cadence The Bestsellers

These toiletry travel bottles have changed the game when it comes to bringing your own products with you—they are entirely leak-proof, and are magnetized, making them snap together to minimize they space they take up in your Dopp kit and the hotel shower.

Carbone print

Created by a former New Yorker editor, All the Restaurants offers limited-edition, hand-drawn sketches of iconic restaurants in New York, London, Paris, and Napa Valley. Order one to commemorate a special meal with a loved one, or one you’re still dreaming of visiting together.

1,000 Perfect Weekends: Great Getaways Around the Globe

For the traveler who doesn't know where to go next, this National Geographic book will give them plenty of inspiration. It is filled with 36- to 72-hour weekend guides to places around the world, with itineraries meant to tack onto existing trips or use as a weekend getaway from home (tags let readers know what hub the destination is within six hours of). 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.

Behind the Bar: 50 Cocktail Recipes from the World's Most Iconic Hotels by Alia Akkam

Written by Traveler contributor Alia Akkam , Behind the Bar takes readers to 50 iconic hotel bars around the world, offering recipes and historical tidbits from each. Perfect for the consummate host in your friend group, they'll have a good time recreating classics and discovering new cocktails from home.

Parachute Waffle Robe

A cozy robe is always a winner in our book, and Parachute makes some of the best. This classic waffle robe will remind them of days spend luxuriating at the hotel spa.

Papier travel notebook

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.

The 55 Best Gifts for Travel Lovers in 2024

Peruse these practical and thoughtful gift ideas for every traveler on your list.

Travel + Leisure / Kristin Kempa

Shopping for your travel-loving friends and family can be tricky — after all, you’ll want to ensure you’re picking up something practical, but you also don’t want to gift them something they already have. It’s also worth considering that frequent travelers, especially digital nomads, tend to live a more minimalist life. This means practical gear will reign supreme over more frivolous items.

You’ll also want to take into account the kind of travel your favorite globetrotters or influencers are into. City explorers or luxury-leaning travelers, for example, probably won’t want the same gear as someone who spends their PTO hiking and trekking through the wilderness.

The following options were hand-picked by our team to suit every type of traveler and vacationer on your list. We’ve extensively researched (or personally tested) all of the following gifts to ensure your purchase will make a thoughtful and genuinely practical addition to your loved one’s travels. Here are the best gifts travelers will love — for all budgets and needs.

Paravel Passport Case

If your favorite travelers don’t already have a high-quality passport cover, you might want to consider the Paravel Cabana Passport Case. The elegant leather case can even be personalized with a hand-painted monogram or custom graphic to add another layer of elegance. We also like that this option has an abundance of pockets and card slots to make organization easier.

Boka Fresh on the Go

The Boka Fresh on the Go set was made for travelers who avoid checking a bag at all costs. It includes everything they’ll need to maintain good oral hygiene while on the go. The toothpaste is TSA-approved and the mouthwash — this is the best part — comes in the form of chewable tablets, so it won’t even count toward their liquid quota.

Jamaica Vibes

Jamaica Vibes is one of the latest in the Assouline coffee table book family — and possibly one of the most fun options to date. The stunning visual-first book will allow travelers to reminisce about any time spent in Jamaica (or dream about future trips) while the cover and spine of the book will add a dose of elegant and trendy style to coffee tables and bookshelves.

Contiki Tour

You can’t go wrong with the gift of travel itself. If you’re looking for a big-ticket experience gift for a younger traveler in your life, look no further than a Contiki tour. The pre-packaged trips will take them all over the world with like-minded young people and range from exploring the Garden Route in South Africa to road-tripping through the Balkans.

Epicka Universal Travel Adapter

Sure, a travel adapter might not immediately come off as the most exciting gift. But any traveler will tell you just how valuable a reliable one really is. The Epicka Universal Travel Adapter is the best travel adapter in our book; it works in more than 150 countries and it’s super compact and easy to pack thanks to the modular design. Plus, you can always pair it with a flashier item like a travel-themed phone case .

SereneLife Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board

 Amazon

The SereneLife Stand-up Paddle Board is an excellent option for anyone who wants to bring the spirit of resort life home. We tested out a variety of inflatable paddle boards and our team agrees that this is the best board on the market thanks to the lightweight, portable design and impressive stability in the water.

LARQ Bottle PureVis

The Larq Self-cleaning Water Bottle is a true game changer for all kinds of travelers. The smart bottle uses UV technology to not just disinfect itself but also to purify the water you’re drinking. This means the jetsetter you’re shopping for will be able to comfortably drink from most water sources without worrying about getting sick.

Tommy Bahama Backpack Beach Chair

The Tommy Bahama Backpack Beach Chair is simply the best beach chair around — and it makes a great gift for road-trippers and camping enthusiasts alike. It’s super easy to transport thanks to the folding backpack design, and is surprisingly comfortable due to the adjustable head pillow and elongated seat. We also like that the frame is rust-proof, meaning it’s perfect for using at the beach or in the rain.

Intelligent Change Inc. The Five Minute Journal

Sometimes, it can be hard to live in the moment and absorb all the magic that is travel — but a gratitude journal can help ensure your globetrotter stays centered on the go. The Five Minute Journal takes, as advertised, takes just five minutes of a traveler’s time; but jotting down their thoughts for those few minutes will help them remember and appreciate the most exciting parts of their day while traveling or at home.

Andobil Car Phone Holder Mount

The best car phone holder mount in our book is the Andobil Car Phone Holder Mount, and it’ll make a great gift for road trippers and car commuters. It’s super easy to install and, once set up, is incredibly stable and easy to use while on the go. There’s also space to plug in a charger so drivers won’t have to mess around with their phone just to get some juice.

Puffer Hug 418 Scarf

Think of the Puffer Hug 418 Scarf as a stylish and equally practical alternative to the fishing vest. Hear us out: this cozy accessory serves as a regular scarf but also has tons of pockets for things like a smartphone or passport. It’s great for wearing to the airport when you need to have documents at the ready but is equally sensible for wearing to explore a new city.

Slip Silk Skinny Scrunchies

The Slip Pure Silk 4-pack Skinny Scrunchies is a fail-safe gift for travelers who want to care for their hair while they're away. The silk design is gentle on the hair and is designed to not pull or cause breakage, even with regular use. We also really like the elegant patterns and colors of the scrunchies, which can easily double as cute arm candy among a stack of bracelets.

Vinarmour Travel Wine Carrier

Wine-loving travelers will flip for the Vinarmour Travel Wine Carrier. This stunning carrier is designed to transport a bottle of wine without any risk of breakage. It features sufficient padding to keep the bottle safe while in transit, but it’s also made from leak-proof material — so even if the bottle was already damaged and cracks while in cargo, it won’t spill on the rest of your luggage.

The Harmonist Travel Coffret

The Harmonist

The Harmonist Travel Coffret is a game-changer when it comes to feeling fresh and relaxed in transit. The set of three heavily-concentrated perfumes were designed to foster a sense of calmness and relaxation thanks to the various notes, including patchouli, pomelo, Bulgarian rose, and vanilla. It also comes with a striking travel case to keep the vials safe in transit.

Twelve South AirFly Pro

The Twelve South AirFly Pro is a T+L editor favorite and such an easy way to upgrade the economy experience. This handy little device allows travelers to use their own Bluetooth headphones or earbuds with the inflight entertainment system rather than having to use the sub-par freebies provided by the airline. The AirFly is super easy to use as well — all you have to do is plug it into the headphone jack on the plane and pair it with your headphones.

Four Seasons Velvet Slippers

Four Seasons

There’s something inherently luxurious about slipping into a pair of hotel slippers upon check in — and the Four Seasons Velvet Slippers amplify that feeling and bring it home. These stunning slippers are made in Italy from sleek velvet and cotton with the Four Seasons logo embroidered on the top. The elastic back and rubber sole make them appropriate for both indoor and outdoor use.

Birdie Personal Safety Alarm

Here’s one for the solo women travelers on your list. The She's Birdie Personal Safety Alarm is designed to fit incognito in her handbag or pocket — but if she finds herself in any kind of trouble, it’s easy to grab and sound the alarm to draw attention and deter an attack. All she has to do is pull off the top tab to activate the 130-decibel siren and flashing strobe light.

Dagne Dover Tech Organizer

Dagne Dover

Nobody thinks they need a tech organizer while traveling, but when you take into account all the cables and adapters required to make international travel smooth, having a specific spot to keep everything untangled is major. The Dagne Dover Arlo Tech Organizer is small enough to pop into a carry-on but has plenty of interior space to store everything a traveler needs.

Lindsay Albanese Toptote Leather Hat Holder

Traveling with a cute hat seems like a great idea, but in practice it can be a bit of a pain. The Lindsay Albanese Toptote Leather Hat Holder allows travelers to bring along a wide-brim hat without having to wear it the entire commute or risking it getting crushed in a suitcase. The clip attaches to the brim of a hat and the built-in carabiner lets you pop it onto a handbag or carry-on for a hands-free solution.

Diptyque Travel Cleansing & Moisturizing Set

This cleansing and moisturizing set will be a welcome addition to any routine whether at home or on the go. The decadent set includes both rinse-free and regular hand wash as well as a moisturizing hand lotion — all of which smell just like your favorite luxury hotel bath products. We also like that this option comes with a cute carrying case that makes it easy to store the items in a handbag or carry-on.

Vasco V4 Language Translator Device

World travelers always have a few favorite travel products they swear by. For traveling abroad, the Vasco V4 Language Translator Device makes the experience so much easier — not just on the traveler but on the locals as well. This genius device provides instant voice translation in 108 languages and comes with free lifetime internet to ensure it’ll always be functional anywhere in the world. The instant translations mean your traveling pal can have real-time conversations with people across the globe, even if there’s no common spoken language.

Pokoloko Harem Towel

The Pokoloko Harem Towel is handcrafted using 100 percent Turkish cotton by artisans in Turkey — and it’s the perfect beach bag essential. It’s very lightweight and rolls down much smaller than the average towel. However, it’s also incredibly absorbent and quick-drying, so travelers can pop it back into their beach bag at the end of the day without worrying about lugging home a soggy towel.

lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L

It’s called the Everywhere Belt Bag for a reason! This Lululemon staple has quickly become a cult classic for travelers (it has quite literally been everywhere this year). The adjustable belt bag is super convenient for everything from hiking to exploring cities hands-free, and the durable nylon material means you won’t have to worry about potential spillage or getting stuck in the rain (it’ll wipe clean with a bit of water).

Longchamp Le Pliage Filet Mesh Bag

Regular travelers know the importance of throwing a decent-sized tote into their luggage. After all, you never know when you’ll need the extra bit of space while on the road. The Longchamp Le Pliage Filet L Mesh Bag offers a sophisticated take on the humble mesh tote complete with a snap closure and both a top handle and shoulder strap for added versatility.

Conair Travel Garment Dual Voltage Steamer

The Conair Power Steam Handheld Travel Garment Steamer makes looking and feeling put together on the road a snap. The compact steamer is small enough to slip into a carry-on bag and pull out as needed while traveling. It boasts a 35-second heat-up time so the traveler in your life can power away wrinkles and creases in no time at all.

YETI Roadie 24 Cooler

The Yeti Roadie 24 Hard Cooler will be well received by the road trip warriors and beach bums on your list. Not only is it super aesthetically pleasing, but it can also actually fit an incredible amount in such a compact space — we’re talking up to 33 cans, 26 pounds of ice, and even full-sized bottles of wine.

Loop Quiet Ear Plugs

You don’t quite realize how high-quality the Loop Quiet earplugs are until you really need them. The surprisingly stylish earplugs were designed to be comfortable while sleeping and will serve as a major blessing the next time your gift recipient has been put in a hotel room next to a crying baby or bachelorette party.

Paravel Mini Fold-up Backpack

The Paravel Mini Fold-Up Backpack earned the top spot in our books as the best mini backpack of 2024 , and it’s easy to see why. It’s easy to fit all the essentials — think a tablet, a wallet, sunscreen, and shoes — but it also folds down into the size of a wallet when not in use, which makes it great for tucking into a carry-on bag in case of emergencies. We also love that this bag has the option to be monogrammed, making your gift all the more thoughtful.

Béis The Cosmetic Case

We love Béis for its cheeky and innovative take on travel accessories — and the Cosmetic Case in particular is one of our top picks of the year for best makeup cases . We love that this option is highly durable but still elegant in design and also has a generous-sized built-in mirror that makes it easy to do makeup or skincare while on the go. It’s also worth noting that this case is available in eight different colorways, so you can choose one that’ll best suit their specific style.

Paravel Aviator Carry-on Plus

If the traveler on your list is in need of a new carry-on, you’ll want to consider the Paravel Aviator Carry-on Plus. This innovative carry-on bag earned top marks in our books as the best piece of luxury luggage thanks to its super sturdy build and variety of organization options within the luggage. It’s also worth noting that all carriers are ethically produced — which makes this a great gift for conscious travelers as well.

Baggu Nylon Crescent Bag

We love a crossbody bag for travel — and the Baggu Nylon Crest Bag is definitely the top crossbody bag of the year in our books. We love just how versatile this bag is and how easily it can be packed into a suitcase without adding any bulk or weight. The crossbody bag is also highly durable and even machine washable, which is a huge perk for travelers who don’t want to have to baby their accessories while on the go.

Awake Caffeinated Chocolate Energy Bar

Frequent flyers know the perils of trying to get a good cup of coffee on an airplane or in an airport — which is why the Awake Caffeinated Chocolate Energy Bites are such a game changer for caffeine-loving travelers. The tasty chocolate bites have the caffeine equivalent of half a cup of coffee, and also offer a sweet sugar kick that’ll help them get through everything from red-eye flights to long layovers.

Nitecore MT21C Flashlight

You might not immediately think of a flashlight as a standout gift for a traveler — but a rechargeable flashlight is a packing essential for travelers who do any kind of adventure or outdoor traveling. The Nitecore MT21C Flashlight is one T+L editors swear by thanks to its compact size, impressive brightness, and longevity (it has a maximum output of 1000 lumens and a peak beam distance of 201 yards). It’s also adjustable by 90 degrees which can be highly practical for getting into tight spaces.

Moon Dissolving Whitening Strips

There’s something about indulging in a self-care routine while flying that can make an economy seat feel like you’re sitting in first class — and what could be more luxurious than whitening your teeth while on the go? The MOON Teeth Whitening Strips were designed to be used while traveling, the strips work the same as your classic Crest variety, but all you have to do is stick them on and wait for them to dissolve — no sink or rinsing required.

Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet

Sure — most airplanes have built-in in-flight entertainment, but boy does it suck when you board a flight only to realize there’s no screen on the seat back. The Amazon Fire HD 10 Tablet will let them download all their favorite shows and movies to watch on the flight. It’s also great for reading e-books or checking into social media while in transit.

Aer Travel Weekender

Aer  

The Aer Travel Weekender is our favorite carry-on duffel bag right now thanks to its versatility and durable design. We like that this bag can easily be used as a top-handle tote, but that it also has a built-in strap that makes it easy to use as a duffel bag while on the go. It’s worth noting that the bag also has a 16-inch padded laptop sleeve, which means they’ll be able to keep their laptop or tablet safe and secure while traveling.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3

A portable speaker makes a great addition to any traveler’s packing list. Not only does it ensure the vibes will be good no matter where they find themselves, it’s also a great tool for playing white noise and making it easier to fall asleep in unfamiliar places. We highly recommend the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3; this one is super easy to connect to any phone and is both waterproof and dustproof — so they won’t have to be precious with it while traveling.

nCamp Café Portable Coffee Maker

If you’ve got a coffee lover on your list, the nCamp Café Portable Coffee Maker is going to be a game changer in terms of the quality of their morning joe. This compact coffee maker is especially great to bring on camping trips because it crafts espresso-style coffee without any power source. The only thing they’ll need is a hot water source and they’ll have cafe-quality brew wherever they go (which, let’s be honest, will also save them a ton of money on morning coffee).

Nintendo Switch

Travel can be endlessly thrilling and entertaining — but there’s a lot of downtime that comes with it as well. A Nintendo Switch is going to make a great gift for the gamers on your list (or those traveling with little ones). The beauty of the Switch is that they’ll be able to use it as a handheld to pass the time at airports or train stations, but it can also be set up television-style to play party games at the hotel room or Airbnb.

Infinity Pillow Travel Pillow

Infinity Pillow

Unless you’re lucky enough to get a miraculous upgrade to business class, sleeping on a plane can be a struggle. That’s where the Infinity Pillow Travel Pillow comes in. This innovative pillow was designed with neck support and can be adapted to work whether they’re in the window, aisle, or even the middle seat.  It’s also temperature regulating, so it won’t make them sweaty mid-flight, and doubles as an eye mask.

Call You When I Land: A Memoir

Travel writer and author Nikki Vargas spares no detail in her evocative memoir Call You When I Land , which follows Vargas as she relentlessly pursues her dream career, and in turn, dream lifestyle. The juicy travelogue is ideal for fans of Eat Pray Love or What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding . Oh — and there’s a love story and murder mystery baked into it as well. Can you say beach read?

Nimble Champ Portable Charger

It doesn’t matter how streamlined their travel is — every traveler struggles with having juice for all their devices while on the go. Sometimes it’s a lack of adequate adapters, and sometimes it’s long excursions with no charging outlet in sight. Either way, a decent portable charger just makes things easier. We love the Nimble Champ Portable Charger in particular. It’s compact and durable, but it’s also eco-friendly having been crafted in part from recycled water bottles.

Slip Lovely Lashes Contour Sleep Mask

Traveling without a sleep mask sucks — especially if you’re sensitive to light or plan to sleep on the plane. The Slip Lovely Lashes Contour Sleep Mask in particular is an awesome gift and great alternative to the classic eye mask model. It’s crafted from real silk, so it won’t pull or mess up their hair. It also has a contoured eye area so it won’t squish their eyes or lashes, even if they use it all night long.

Away The Insider Packing Cubes

Away The Insider Packing Cubes are a game changer for travelers who want to pack light and travelers who like to pack more than they might need. For starers, these packing cubes allow them to organize their clothing by categories, which allows them to have a better grasp on exactly what they have. The cubes also gently compress clothing which makes it easy to fit everything into a carry-on or smaller-sized suitcase as needed.

Skyborne iTravel Folio 4.0

Staying organized and on the ball on travel days makes the whole experience go much smoother — and that’s why we love the Skyborne iTravel Folio 4.0. This sleek travel wallet is designed to fit all their travel documents (including passport, smartphone, AirPods, and more) in one stylish zippered wallet. It also has built-in charging capabilities to keep their electronics juiced up, no matter where they are.

Rewined Bordeaux Candle

If they’re always waxing poetic about their trip to wine country, why not gift them an olfactory memory of their time? The Bordeaux Candle by Rewined comes as an homage to the French countryside with notes of Maritime Pine, Crushed Herbs, and Cypress that are designed to transport them right back to the vineyards of Bordeaux. Rewined’s candles are also beautifully made and will look just as good as they smell on a coffee table or kitchen counter.

Pocket Tripod Universal Kit

Pocket Tripod

Let’s be honest: no matter how cool we think we are, everyone wants to get some good photos to share on social media (or to look back on) while traveling. The Pocket Tripod Universal Kit is a super compact and discreet alternative to the larger tripods on the market. It’s about the size of a credit card and is easy to pop onto a smartphone for an instant tripod, wherever they find themselves.

Foreo Luna Mini 2 Facial Cleansing Brush

Traveling can wreak some serious havoc on the skin — which is why skincare-loving travelers (and really anyone who likes a clean face!) will flip for the FOREO LUNA Mini. This innovative skincare tool uses T-sonic pulsations to clean the skin, brushing away any traces of makeup, dirt, or acne-causing bacteria that might be lurking on their face after a long flight or day of exploration.

Audible Membership

If you’re shopping for a traveler who is big on podcasts or listening to audio books while on the go, a subscription to Audible is pretty much a no-brainer. This subscription will get them one free audiobook per month and allow them to listen to all kinds of different books at their own pace while traveling. It’s also a great alternative to packing various books or having to remember an e-reader; all their audiobooks will be accessible right on their smartphone or tablet!

The Essential Guide to Turkish Wine

The Essential Guide to Turkish Wine by wine writer and author Andrea Lemieux is the only English-language anthology you’ll find sharing the ins and outs of Turkish wine. Turkey is one of the oldest wine-producing countries in the world, and Lemieux’s comprehensive guide will inspire them to book a trip to the wine trail of Turkey thanks to her captivating (and comprehensive) descriptions and gorgeous illustrations and visuals to match.

Riemot Luggage Cup Holder

It would be nice to have another set of hands when rolling through the airport, wouldn’t it? Well, that’s where the Riemot Luggage Travel Cup Holder comes in. This handy attachment can fit onto any rolling suitcase or carry-on. It not only accommodates a beverage, but also easily fits a wallet or passport and most smartphones. There’s nothing better than being hands-free without having to dig through a handbag or backpack to get out the essentials.

BasicConcepts Airplane Foot Hammock

Sure — it might look a little cheesy at first glance… but they will be incredibly grateful for this whimsical gift when they’re on hour five of their next red-eye flight. The Basic Concepts Airplane Foot Hammock attaches underneath the tray table, providing them with instant relief of aches and pains that might crop up after sitting upright for hours on end. It can adjust to three different positions as well, so they’ll be able to continue to change their position throughout the flight for added comfort.

Steamline Luggage The Palm Cosmetics Set

Steamline Luggage

Frequent flyers are always on the hunt for streamlined packing accessories — and this cosmetics set from Steamline Luggage is a standout option. It ranks number one in our best travel pouch of 2024 thanks to its charming tropical-inspired prints and the fact that the pouches are crafted from recycled water bottles. The pouches can easily fit inside of one another when not in use and lay flat, which makes them easy to pack and store.

1,000 Places to See Before You Die

1,000 Places to See Before You Die is one of our favorite travel-focused reference books. The anthology is a veritable bucket list that is just as good for armchair travel as it is for reference when planning a trip. We also love flipping through this book to reflect on all the places we’ve been — the intriguing descriptions and photography evoke memories while also seeing even the most popular tourist destinations and monuments in a refreshing new light.

Native Union Universal Sling

The Native Union Universal Sling is designed to pop onto smartphones like a phone case — but it comes with a built-in strap that allows travelers to wear their phone like a crossbody bag or around their neck like a lanyard. It’s available in a variety of colorways and is made from recycled material for a more sustainable approach. It’s perfect for travel as it’s more secure than throwing a phone in a pocket or bag as well.

Take Our Word for It

Real Simple / David Hattan

Shopping for men in general and brothers in particular—whether it be your biological brother, stepbrother, brother in law, or any brother figure in your life—can be challenging. After all, you likely have years of giving him gifts under your belt, so how do you make sure your presents remain exciting and special year after year? 

We spent hours researching the best gifts for brothers, considering age, interests, personalities, and price points. We also spoke with Lindsay Roberts Schey , gift expert and founder of The Gift Insider, for more advice on how to pick the perfect present.

And with 25+ colors to choose from, there’s bound to be one that perfectly matches his style.

Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker

If he’s always stopping at the drive-through before work or school, this handy appliance can teach him that making your own breakfast sandwich doesn’t have to be difficult. He can customize his creation to resemble a meal from his favorite breakfast spot, and it takes just five minutes. (Hint: This also makes a great white elephant gift .)

Dearfoams Brendan Microfiber Suede Clog

These cozy slippers are so comfortable he’ll never want to take them off. The memory foam padding will make him feel like he’s walking on a cloud, while the rubber outsoles make them suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Their breathable design and temperature-regulating technology will also ensure his feet stay sweat-free. 

Patagonia Better Sweater Fleece Jacket

This warm Patagonia fleece will quickly become a staple in his closet. Lightweight yet cozy, the fleece is perfect for year-round escapades. Even better, it’s made of 100% recycled polyester and uses a low-energy dying process, making it an eco-friendly purchase as well.  

Loop Quiet Earplugs

Loop Earplugs

Whether he lives on a busy street, has noisy neighbors, or is just a bit sleep-deprived, these earplugs will give him the peace and quiet he lacks. Unlike cheap foam earplugs, the Loop Quiet Earplugs stay put all night, in part because they come with silicone tips in multiple sizes to fit any ear size.

“Experience gifts are a great way to go for someone who has it all,” says Schey—and this DIY hot sauce kit is both an experience gift and a physical gift in one. It comes with all the ingredients, equipment, and instructions he needs to make his own hot sauce, as well as labels for him to have fun with creative sauce names.

He can ditch making s’mores in the microwave because nothing beats roasting marshmallows over a fire.

ThermoPro TempSpike Wireless Meat Thermometer

Engel Heavy-Duty Soft Sided Cooler Bag

While hard coolers can be heavy and difficult to carry, this soft-sided cooler tote is lightweight, easy to transport, and perfect for keeping beverages cold on a weekend getaway. It was the best soft-sided cooler we tested and stood out due to its ideal size and leak-proof, secure design. 

iFox iF012 Bluetooth Speaker

Everyone feels like a rockstar in the shower, and this waterproof bluetooth speaker will elevate his bathroom performance—perhaps even masking his subpar vocals, too. The 100% waterproof and portable design allows him to listen to his favorite beats everywhere, whether he’s at a pool party or in the bath. He can even control the volume, skip songs, and take calls without having to touch his phone screen with wet fingers.

Mack Weldon ACE Sweatpants

Mack Weldon

Everyone needs a pair (or two) of simple sweats, and this two-pack from Mack Weldon checks all the boxes.

The wireless beanie works for 10 to 12 hours on a single charge, and will have him listening to music in style this winter.

Banana Phone Bluetooth Handset and Speaker

Banana Phone

If you and your brother prefer to exchange novelty gifts, the Banana Phone is a guaranteed laugh. What looks like a plastic banana toy is actually a Bluetooth-enabled mobile headset and speaker—so yes, he can actually call you directly from the banana.

Soundcore Bluetooth Headphones

Whether he’s a college student dealing with loud roommates or a professional trying to focus on his work, these Bluetooth headphones will help him tune out the background noise. We particularly love the fast charging time —if he forgets to charge them before a long day, plugging them in for just five minutes will provide him with four hours of uninterrupted tunes.

Embark Breed & Health Dog DNA Test

Whether he wants to trace his pup’s ancestry or better understand its genetic health, this kit will answer all of his questions. With a simple swab of the cheek, he will gain access to all of his dog’s unique data, helping him better care for his pet and finally have a ready answer to the dreaded question, “What breed?”

My Bobbleheads Shop Custom Bobblehead

Even the brother who has everything probably doesn’t have a custom bobblehead. Upload your favorite photo of him and this Etsy shop will create a life-like, miniature version that he will be eager to display. You get to specify the hair, eye, and skin color, as well as the actual bobblehead size.

Whether he’s seeking a colorful throw to display on his bed or a cozy blanket to cuddle up with on the sofa, this weighted blanket from Quility is the most versatile one we tested . It’s available in six colors and 13 weights, ranging from five to 30 pounds, making it suitable for every purpose. 

Crosley Cruiser Plus Record Player

For the brother who has everything, Schey suggests this turntable because it’s something he’s not likely to buy on his own. The Crosley Cruiser is a classic turntable with a suitcase-style shell, but it also includes Bluetooth functionality, so he can take his pick between those vinyl records he’s been collecting or his favorite Spotify playlist.

Getaway Gift Card

Some people like to receive things, while others prefer experiences . If he falls in the latter camp, a Getaway gift card is the perfect fit. The company offers disconnected stays in secluded, tiny cabins, all of which are located less than a two-hour drive from major cities. With a Getaway gift card, he can choose his own adventure. 

Nintendo Switch Lite

As far as gaming consoles go, the Nintendo Switch Lite is one of the more reasonably priced options, and its handheld design means he can take it wherever he goes. The portable device comes in several bold colors, including blue, coral, and yellow.

New York Times Custom Front Page Puzzle

When you give him this coffee sampler, the coffee experts at Bean Box will curate a unique collection of artisan coffees based on his tastes and preferences. You can choose to purchase him a single sampler box or sign him up for a subscription ranging from three months to a year. 

Bug Bite Thing Suction Tool

If he spends a lot of time outdoors, then your brother knows that battling bug bites is a constant battle.

It’s the practical and unique stocking stuffer you’ve been looking for.

Plus, the company donates 20% of its profits to rescue organizations and supplies consumers with organic, eco-friendly coffee.

Takeya Cold Brew Coffee Maker

If he’s only tolerable after his morning coffee, this handy cold brew maker will keep him content and caffeinated. The pitcher can produce four servings of crisp cold brew, and its mesh filter will keep grounds from seeping into his smooth beverage. 

Bespoke Post Membership

If you really don’t know what to get him, a subscription gift like the Bespoke Post membership allows him to sample a little bit of everything—and it takes the pressure of finding the perfect gift off of you. As a member, he’ll receive a monthly box filled with an assortment of products from small businesses, including tools, clothes, kitchen goods, outdoor gear, and more.

Schey suggests, “a nice embossed leather gift like this leather tie case from Leatherology,” for the brother who has everything. It holds up to four neckties and comes with a small pocket for collar stays, cufflinks, and tie clips, making it the ideal travel buddy for the brother with a professional style.

You can’t go wrong with an outdoor game for the brother who is always ready for some friendly competition.

It sounds simple, but once he tries it, no beach day or backyard hang will be complete without it. 

PhoneSoap 3 UV Phone Sanitizer and Charger

Questions You Might Ask

How much should you spend on a gift for a brother.

Many people choose to spend more on gifts for immediate family members than they would for, say, extended family, coworkers , friends, etc. However, the exact amount you choose to spend on your brother depends on your budget and perhaps even an agreement you and your family have to come to over how much to spend on gifts. In general, most people will spend a minimum of $20 on a gift for their sibling and go up from there. Before you begin shopping, decide on a budget and stick to it. And if you’ve agreed on a spending limit between you and your sibling(s), don’t go over it—that will only make them feel bad. 

If you are on a tight budget, you can still make your brother feel loved and special without overspending. “Put extra thought into it and that's what he'll remember,” says Schey. “Gift him a few small things themed around something he loves and package it in a nice box or gift bag .”

What should you get a brother who already has everything?

Shopping for siblings is already a challenge, but when it comes to the brother who already has everything, finding a gift that’s new and exciting can seem impossible.

However, Schey does offer a few pointers on how to shop for even the most hard-to-please brothers: “Think of the things he uses every day and go with a more design-friendly or updated version than what he currently has,” she says. You’ll find many examples of these upgraded essentials on our list, including charging docks and tie cases—some of which can even be personalized for a special touch. She adds that tech gadgets, tech accessories , or smart home gifts are always a great option— since there are upgraded versions coming out each year, there's likely something new that he doesn't have yet.

She also suggests choosing a personalized gift that is made just for him. “While he might already have something in a similar realm, the personalized element and thought you put into the gift will make it feel extra special,” Schey says.

This article was written by Jamie Fischer , a commerce writer for Real Simple . Jamie curated these gift ideas based on hours of research. For expert advice, she spoke with Lindsay Roberts Schey , gift expert and founder of The Gift Insider, an online gifting resource.

When the temperature goes down, the desire to curl up under a reliable blanket increases. Grab a Rumpl for a camper in your life. These easy-to-fold blankets can be tossed over the body and worn like a poncho, and their puffy quilt build makes it great for insulation. Available in a plethora of patterns, Rumpls also easily pack down for easy carry and storage when you need it.

Huckberry Weekenders

Lightweight and tough (for plastic), these sunglasses can take a beating. These sport a modern version of the classic Wayfarer eyeglass design and have polarized lenses that reduce eye strain and glare. Grab a second pair and save $10—after all, having matching pairs with your brother would be quite the look.

Gaiam Thick Yoga Mat

Everyone could use a spare yoga mat . This one from Gaiam is one of our favorites as it’s environmentally friendly and ultra-thick. Made from nontoxic PVC, this colorful gift option has supremely soft cushioning and a carry strap that makes it easy to bring to yoga class or the park.

HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer

This super small rechargeable printer produces photos measuring 2 by 3 inches without the use of any ink—your brother just has to load it with some glossy sheets from HP, connect to it via Bluetooth, and choose a photo from his phone’s gallery to print anything he’d like. It’s also so small and slim that carrying it in a backpack is a cinch.

Audio-Technica AT-LP60X-BK Record Player

Get your brother to ditch his tinny-sounding record player and buy him a turntable to be proud of. This Audio-Technica has all the bells and whistles he needs to kickstart his vinyl-listening experience, plus the inclusion of an internal amp means all he needs now are a pair of solid speakers.

Sanyun SW206 80W Dual-Mode Bookshelf Speakers

Looking for a pair of speakers to plug into a vinyl player? How about gift option that can handle Bluetooth? Here’s a pair of Bluetooth speakers that look super attractive mounted on the wall or sitting on a bookshelf. Your brother will be suitably impressed with a set that provides such quality hi-fi playback.

50 Best Travel Gift Ideas for Men: Presents & Gift Ideas for Him

Looking for the perfect travel gifts for men? Perfect, you’ve landed on the right page as I’m also a man who travels, so I know a little bit about the topic. While getting yourself things that will make traveling convenient is great, it feels so much better getting them from others, and that’s what inspired me to write this post.

Recently my family asked, “Hey Dave, what do you want for Christmas?” I realized that I actually haven’t been home for the holidays in several years, so I haven’t needed to give them a “Christmas gift wish list” in quite a while!

So this year, I decided to jot down some items that I know would be amazing gifts for all the traveling men out there! I know these would work be great travel gift ideas for men because:

• A) I already own the products mentioned and love them!
• B) I’ve looked into purchasing these exact ones for myself /friends/family.

So take a read below and get some holiday/birthday gift-giving inspiration. While there may be a few standard/typical gift ideas, I know there are definitely a few unique gifts for men that travel that you likely haven’t thought of.

Also, make sure you read through my articles “ The 50 Best Gifts for Photographers ” and “ 14 Perfect Gift Ideas for Music Festival Lovers ” for some more fun and unique gift ideas for this upcoming Christmas/holiday season!

The Best Travel Gift Ideas for Him in 2024

While the post focuses on the best gifts for men that travel, trust me when I say some gifts are also perfect for female travelers.

1) Tinggly Experience Box

Gift an experience of a lifetime

When I discovered Tinggly , I instantly thought it was an absolutely brilliant idea, especially since, in this day and age, people are beginning to prioritize experiences over material things!

This company provides different “gift boxes” that include unique and fun travel experiences that the person gets to choose from! Take a look through the Tinggly Collections for an idea of what they offer, and watch the video above to see how it works!

It’s one of the coolest and most unique travel gift ideas for men, and the options are endless.

2) Tropicfeel — The Ultimate Travel Shoe

Every traveling man needs a quality pair of versatile shoes, and I’m so glad I’ve discovered this amazing company called Tropicfeel ! They’ve made five different styles of shoes that are absolutely perfect for travelers and would make for an incredible gift idea!

I’m a big fan of their Jungle Night Blue & Canyon Asphalt Grey shoes , but I’d recommend browsing through all the different styles and colors to find the best fit.

“Jungle is a slip-on all-terrain sneaker with 4-in-1 versatility: providing the benefits of aqua shoes, the comfort of sports shoes, the technical outsole materials of hiking shoes, and the styling of your favorite daily pieces.”

They’re comfortable, fashionable, and can be used for tons of different travel activities during your boyfriend’s or bud’s next trip. A key selling point is that they’re water-friendly/quick-drying, so they’re perfect for adventure seekers looking to hit the trails! The company also has a sustainable focus on its product line, and all of its products are crafted from responsibly sourced materials (which I think is very important in today’s world).

Prices Vary: $99-$115

3) Trtl Travel Neck Pillow

Sleeping on planes has always been a challenge for me, especially being 6’4 and struggling to get comfortable. While numerous times I’ve been somewhat satisfied with those cheap neck pillows I’ve purchased at an airport – I’ve recently discovered Trtl, a leader in the travel neck pillow industry!

Their best-selling travel pillow provides completes support for your head with no bobbing, and will help avoid neck pain, strains, and aches. Perfect for travelers who are on those long haul flights regularly and want to hit the ground running and feel refreshed upon landing.

It’s a fun and easy gift idea that I know he’ll love, and will become one his new favorite travel accessories!

4) HORIZN Studios Luggage

Having high-quality luggage has become a personal essential to while traveling, and I’ve become obsessed with my new checked luggage by Horizn Studios ! So much so that I’ll probably end up buying their carry-on-on luggage so I can have a matching set.

Their entire line is elegantly designed with a German-designed Aerospace Polycarbonate Hardshell that feels truly remarkable to touch, is suberbly lightweight, and has incredible 360° spinner wheels that roll flawlessly across those airport floors.

While I think their cabin luggage would be a better gift for the traveling man in your life, the H7 that I have is one of my favorite travel accessories now. I’ve gotten tons of compliments on it, and I’ll be using it FOREVER as it comes with a lifetime warranty.

5) Steel & Borough Weekender Bag

Every traveling man needs a quality weekender bag for those quick getaways, and I believe I’ve found the absolute best one on the market! I recently got my hands on one of these Navy Blue bags from Steel & Borough, and am already loving it!

Steel & Borough specializes in weekender bags , and spent over 7 years making 100 different prototypes to finally land on their incredible design.

“The zippers, the lining, the handles, and the colors have all been measured, tested, rejected and reworked again and again to achieve perfection. We believe in long-lasting design and “less is more” the mantra of Scandinavian design philosophy that we are proud to represent.”

Durable, sustainable, versatile, and unbelievably fashionable.

It’s luxurious yet affordable, and this timeless design is guaranteed to impress whoever receives this as a gift! They’ve got tons of color combinations to choose from, but I  couldn’t resist this stylish Navy/Brown combo that just screams elegance!

Price:  $220

6) The Wander Club

“Keep your travel memories alive! Collect an engraved token for every country, US state, or national park you’ve visited!

I recently discovered this new collectible travel item called The Wander Club , and I think it’s a fantastic way to be reminded of your travels everywhere you go! It’s simple – every time you visit somewhere new, you order an engraved token and add it to your token holder and keep it with you everywhere you go. Lots of different colors and styles are available; check it out!

**The Wander Club is a charitable shop for those who love to travel and give back. For every engraved token purchased, we’ll donate a meal to an orphaned child abroad.**

7) Rainbow Sandals

Every traveling guy needs a quality pair of sandals, and these are honestly the best sandals in the world!

I’ve been a Rainbow Sandals customer for as long as I can remember, and they’re extremely popular in Southern California.

While at first glance you might find them to be at a higher price point for sandals, they are seriously worth the extra cost! They are super stylish, last forever, and are incredibly comfortable. It also helps that there’s an excellent warranty! I truly believe every man needs to own a pair of Rainbows and so they would make great gifts!

8) Atlas Coffee Club

“Discover coffee from countries like Papua New Guinea, Peru, Burundi, Brazil, and beyond.  With 50+ countries producing coffee, Atlas Coffee Club highlights the top 2% of the world’s best .  All single-origin and all roasted fresh by their team of roasters.”

Is the travel-obsessed guy in your life just as obsessed with coffee? Then look no further than the amazing Atlas Coffee Club ! When I first learned about this unique international coffee subscription-based company, I absolutely loved the idea and thought of at least a dozen people who would love this as a Christmas present (myself included)!

One of the best travel-related gifts for him, you pick how many bags you want per shipment, select if you want 2 or 4-week deliveries, and your roast/grind preferences. They’ll deliver coffee bags to your house with a postcard from a new country each month, with tasting notes & brewing tips for each batch. Check it out .

9) JBL Waterproof Portable Speaker

I never go anywhere without my portable speaker! It’s one of the best gifts for guys that are traveling as I believe that music can make a massive difference while traveling, and I always get a lot of use out of mine.

Whether I’m relaxing on a beach in Thailand, watching the sunset in Florence, or sitting on a balcony at an overwater villa in the Maldives (which I guess I’ve only done once) – music will typically make that moment better and far more enjoyable!

While there are tons of different options available, I personally use and recommend the JBL Charge 3 Waterproof Portable Speaker ! It has incredible sound, a long battery life, and is one of the best-reviewed/affordable speakers out there.

Even when I’m not traveling, I get a lot of use out of it! I use it as the main speaker in my room, will take it outside while washing my car, and bring it to every camping music festival I go to!

10) Timekettle M3 Translator Earbuds

For travelers who are frequently on the road in foreign countries, these new M3 Translator Earbuds from Timekettle are a totally thoughtful gift! I’ve just got myself a pair of these to test out for an upcoming trip to Japan, and I know they’ll come in handy quite often

Offering multiple functions for translation applications, music listening, and phone calls (so a step up from regular Apple airpods, three different translation modes, noise cancellation, currently supports 40 different languages, and a 25-hour battery life.

It’s one of the top-rated real-time translators on the market, and it’s simply one of the most unique gifts for travelers, men or women!

11) Tortuga Travel Backpack

This award-winning backpack is a masterpiece in the industry, and has become a personal favorite in my travel luggage/accessory collection!

You can bring everything you’d need for a long trip without the hassle of checking a bag at the airport (saving a ton of money long-term fees)! I’ve found my Tortuga backpack to be super easy to pack with tons of helpful storage compartments, and love that it opens like a suitcase for easy access (but wearable like a backpack for quick transportation).

It’s sleek and comfortable and comes equipped with an advanced, hiking-style suspension system that I adore while on the road. Everything from their high-quality material in the shoulder straps and belt make this great to travel with. It pairs well with their stylish packing cubes as well for staying organized.

If you’re looking for a gift any guy would love for an upcoming trip – this Tortuga 40L backpack is an excellent idea!

12) Large World Map Push Pin

While everyone has obsessed over the scratch-off world map that definitely belongs on a list of travel gift ideas for him, I have to recommend Large World Map Push-Pin Travel Maps . I recently bought it myself and I’m obsessed with it.

The colors are incredibly stylish, it comes in two different sizes, and you can even personalize the title at the top for an extra thoughtful touch!

Price: $64.95+

13) GoPro Hero 11 Black

A GoPro will always belong on a list of cool gift ideas for men. I’ve been traveling with a GoPro in my backpack for at least 6+ years now, and I’m absolutely obsessed with their latest GoPro Hero 11 Black Edition .

THE VIDEO STABILIZATION IS UNBELIEVABLY GOOD! 

On top of that, it’s simply one of the ultimate travel cameras! It’s super compact yet takes incredibly stunning pictures and videos, and is one of the best luxury travel gifts for him if he’s into adrenaline sports.

While this is one of the more expensive items on the list, I personally think it’s worth every penny, because everyone needs a GoPro with them when they travel! From epic time-lapses, 4K video, and wide-angle selfies, it’s a pretty awesome travel accessory! It’s also crucial for people who are snorkeling/scuba-diving regularly, as the content you can create underwater is amazing!

Price: $399+ ( Read Reviews & Check Availability )

14) Mobilo Card

Share contact details with a single tap

One of the best gifts for business travelers, the  Mobilo Card  would be an awesome, affordable, and great gift idea or stocking stuffer.

Offering four different modes, this card offers its users an easy way to transfer their contact information to a person’s phone with one tap. It’s simple yet effective, and there are tons of fun ways to design it.

The card is sized like a credit card, so it would easily fit into his passport holder or the typical wallet and will absolutely be among the best gifts for men who travel for work.

15) Universal USB Travel Power Adapter

Alright, so this may not be one of the sexiest or most interesting travelling gifts for him, but the truth is that it’s 100% necessary for international travelers! I get so much use out of mine, and this could be a great addition to another larger travel gift. Trust me, nothing’s worse than getting into your hotel room and finding out you can’t charge your devices.

Also, this could be a nice idea for a stocking stuffer at Christmas time! 

There are a lot of different ones to choose from, but I personally love my Epicka Universal Charger , and find having 4 USB ports is super helpful!! (I have to charge multiple devices at once pretty often).

16) An Inspirational Travel Book

Whether you buy the guy a paperback edition or download it to their new Amazon Kindle , I guarantee they’ll love one of these inspirational tales.

While I could write a whole other blog post about books that will inspire travel, I’d recommend starting out with the following three:

• The Alchemist
• Into the Wild

A really fun idea would be to buy a book those goes well with a destination they are about to visit! For example, if you know a guy who’s planning a trip to Thailand , you should pick them up a copy of The Beach!!

17) Earbuds & Noise Cancelling Headphones

No one goes traveling without a decent pair of headphones, and that makes them an excellent idea for a gift! Whether you’re looking for more budget-style earbuds or fancier noise-canceling over-the-ear headphones, these would be top picks!

• Otium Bluetooth Headphones ($18.99
• Active Noise Canceling Headphones ($49.99)

There are literally thousands of different options of headphones and earphones, and it really just depends on your budget/preferred style. I think BLUETOOTH is a must these days, as cables are becoming a thing of the past.

18) DJI Spark, Air, or Mavic Pro 2 

Okay, a drone is obviously expensive but it’s also one of the best Christmas gift ideas for men if you save enough during the year.

Purchasing a drone for traveling will really take photos and videos to the next level…literally and figuratively.  I’ve been traveling with a drone for about a year now, and I’m so stoked every time I get to launch it up in the air over a beautiful destination.

I recently upgraded and bought the brand new MAVIC PRO 2 , and I’m telling you, this is a game-changer . If you did buy this for someone as a gift, they would be extremely happy!! :-)

DJI Mavic Pro 2 :  $2,624 (Read Reviews)

What I love about DJI, though, is that they have completely revolutionized the entire industry and have several different models. These two are the best for traveling as they’re super compact and lightweight but produce unbelievable content!

• DJI Spark Mini-Drone ($589)
• DJI Mavic AIR Drone ($895.00)

Mavic Pro2 | Maldives | November 2018

19) WiseOwl Travel Hammock

This top-rated lightweight hammock is “everything you need to start relaxing right away – all in a small little package”.

Perfect for the outdoors adventure travelers ! It’s super high quality, budget-friendly, and guaranteed to be an excellent travel gift for him! I just purchased one of these myself as I’m planning on doing a lot more hikes up in Washington national parks, and can’t wait to test out my new hammock!

Price:  $34.95+ ( Browse Designs & Prices )

20) Ticket to Ride – Europe (Board Game)

I have my parents to thank for introducing me to Ticket to Ride Europe !!

This board game is a ton of fun and one of the best gifts for travel lovers! The goal is to complete “train routes” between popular cities in Europe. For example, one person will have to build a track between “Athens & Edinburgh”. While I’m not going to explain the whole rulebook, it’s honestly become one of my favorite board games.

Whenever I’m back home visiting California, I make sure to play with my family a few times! I’ve shown a few friends this game as well, and it’s becoming quite a favorite in my circle!

Price:  $33.80

21) Journeys Of A Lifetime: 500 of the World’s Greatest Trips 

Just the title alone has got me desperate to pick this up and flip through it!  It’s a foot-tall, has over 400 pages, and is filled with gorgeous travel photography…

“ Journeys of a Lifetime:  500 of the World’s Greatest Trips “

This book will look damn good on top of the coffee table.

“This lavish volume reveals National Geographic’s top picks for the world’s most fabulous journeys, along with practical tips for your own travels. Compiled from the favorite trips of National Geographic’s travel writers, this inspirational book spans the globe to highlight the best of the world’s most famous and lesser known sojourns.

Price: $40 ( Hardcover )

22) Manfrotto BeFree Travel Tri-Pod

Continuing for gift ideas for the photographers out there…

This is the tripod I use to capture ALL of my long-exposure photography shots while traveling abroad. It’s super compact, relatively affordable, and completely sturdy — making it one of the best gifts for travelers who take pictures at every turn.

The Manfrotto BeFree Travel Tripod folds up to easily fit inside my backpack and has become a rather important item pretty much every day.

Manfrotto also has an excellent warranty program that I can vouch for! When I first started getting into photography, I had an issue with one of their cheaper tripods, and they were quick to get the problem resolved and sent me a brand new one!

Any traveling man who’s interested in photography needs a quality & compact tripod, and I think this is one of the best-valued options on the market!

Price: $204.88

23) Carry-on Cocktail Collection

This is such a fun, unique, and perfect gift idea for any guy who’s flying all the time (or even just wants to make better cocktails at home).

The idea is simple – put popular cocktail ingredients in the easy-to-carry case , ideal for plane rides, hotel rooms, and on-the-go excursions! Not only is it handy to make more refreshingly delicious cocktails, but it’s also pretty damn fun and an excellent affordable gift for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, etc.

Price: $22.99

24) Personalized Travel Deck of Cards

I always travel with a deck of playing cards , so when I discovered I could order a Personalized Travel Deck of Cards with my own travel photos…I instantly loved the idea!!

While I haven’t ordered one yet, I think this would be one of the great gifts for men who travel! It’ll take some time to put together, but the end product will be well worth it!

Tip: Combine this gift with the calendar, and you can use all the same photos.

Price: $20+

25) RayBan Wayfarer Sunglasses

I’ve actually NEVER bought a pair of decent sunglasses before , but that’s mainly because I lose and break them like it’s my job, lol.

I normally buy multiple $5 pairs of fake Ray Ban’s in Europe & Asia and just see how long they last me.

With that being said – every time I wear a friend’s REAL Ray Ban’s , I think to myself – “hot damn, these are nice”!  I’m thinking it’s time I finally buy myself a pair or patiently wait for someone to buy them for me as a Christmas present *hint hint*.

Price:   $151+

26) A Hydration Backpack

I only just recently discovered how much I love a good Camelback hydration backpack (or any other brand)! While they are obviously super handy at music festivals, they’re fantastic for hiking, biking, and traveling as well, so it’d be one of the most versatile travel presents for him.

I’ve already written about my Top 10 Festival Hydration Backpacks , so give that one a read, and I’m sure you’ll find one you love!  I’d personally recommend one of these:

• CAMELBAK M.U.L.E. HYDRATION PACK
• ELEVATED LYFE CUSTOMIZED HYDRATION PACK
• UNIGEAR HYDRATION PACK BACKPACK

There are a wide variety of designs for every budget, and I think it’d make for one of the best traveling gifts for him.

27) Meowoo Packing Cubes

Packing cubes will always be one of the great gift ideas for men and women, making packing so much easier.

I tend to be kind of a messy person who lives out of his suitcase, and when I check into a hotel, my stuff somehow explodes all over the place. Sounds familiar…?

Well, by having these Packing Cubes , it helps keep my suitcase a little bit more organized, and I can keep my socks, underwear, shirts, and shorts all in separate cubes. They have made a huge difference in my efficiency while packing, and I’ll never go back to my old ways!

Price: $38.97

28) Anker PowerCore Portable Charger

I can’t even tell you how many times this portable charger has come in handy while traveling! Not only does it keep my iPhone at full power, but it has given much-needed extra life to my GoPro and portable music player while traveling.

This really is a must-have for people who are always traveling, and I love my Anker PowerCore Portable Charger !  It’s extremely lightweight and compact, so it won’t be an inconvenience to carry around during the day – but it also packs a big punch with 10,000mAh capacity.

This means it can charge an iPhone X 2.6 times, an iPhone 7 3.6 times, and a Galaxy S9 2.3 times. This is the #1 Best Seller on Amazon for portable chargers , and I’ve personally bought two of them!

Price:   $16.99

29) ZeroGrid Money Belt

While I’ve actually never personally used one before , a money belt can be a nice item to use while traveling internationally.

To be perfectly honest – the only place I would consider wearing one would be in certain destinations in Central & South America .  I don’t think it’s necessary anymore while backpacking in Southeast Asia or in Europe .

ZeroGrid makes some really amazing travel products, and they all come with a 100% lifetime guarantee which is always great to have!

Price:   $23.99

30)   Passport & Credit Card Travel Holder

This item has definitely been essential to all my international travels, and it’s probably the only reason why I’ve never lost my passport (knock on wood)! It really is crucial to keep all your important travel documents organized in a decent holder — making it one of the best small gifts for men.

I keep my passport, credit cards, SIM cards, different currencies, boarding passes, business cards, and important receipts all in this zip folder. It slides easily in the back of my backpack (where I always keep it), and I make sure to only keep my passport there to ensure it’s always in a safe place.

Price:   $22.99

31) Lensball

So I was first introduced to this Lensball photography accessory from a Facebook promo advertisement, and I’ve been obsessed with it ever since.

While it’s becoming quite popular in the Instagram/photography scene, it’s also just a super fun toy to play around with smartphones! I love seeing different types I can take with it, and it’s simply all about creativity – and the more you use it, the more you fall in love with it! It’s essentially just an ultra-clear Crystal Ball that reflects whatever you point it at in a cool way.

There are two different sizes available; it’s easy to travel with and would be an excellent travel gift idea!

32) Tile Mate 

If you haven’t heard of Tile Mate yet, then let me introduce you to this relatively new incredible technology! It’s basically like “Find Your iPhone”, but for all of your important belongings! You just put one of the Tile Mate rings on travel luggage/items you don’t want to lose, and it connects to your phone and saves the location.

While, fortunately, I haven’t had to use it yet to track down missing belongings yet, it definitely provides some peace of mind! It’s becoming a popular tool, and would definitely be a solid gift idea for travelers!

33) Ultra Bright CREE LED Headlamp

It’s always a good idea to have a headlamp handy while traveling, especially for those adventures that involve hiking/ expeditions! While I mainly use mine for astrophotography, it really does have a lot of practical uses!

There are tons of different companies that make top-notch products, but I personally really don’t need anything too luxurious, so I’d stick to one of the more budget-friendly options! I’m a big fan of this Ultra Bright CREE LED Headlamp because it’s simple & easy to use, super affordable, and has outstanding reviews/customer service.

34) Bombas Compression Socks

A few pairs of compression socks are great gifts for guys going abroad and taking long flights. If you’re a frequent traveler, you’ll know that these socks make all the difference.

Last year, a friend of mine gifted me a ton of BOMBAS products (introducing me to the company), and I’ve been singing their praises ever since. They’ve got a ton of different styles/ colors, and I’m not exaggerating when I say they are the most comfortable pairs of socks I’ve ever tried.

While the childhood version of myself looks at socks as a boring gift – there is nothing boring about gifting that traveling man in your life some pairs of BOMBAS Compression Socks . They are one of my favorite long-haul flight essentials I pack as part of my carry-on luggage, and I guarantee the recipient will LOVE them! I also love how their business has a giving-back model and donates one pair for every pair purchased.

35) MZOO Eye Mask

While we’re on the subject of surviving long-haul flights, I don’t know about you, but the lighting on planes can be really bothersome. When I’m home in my bed, I need it to be pitch black to enjoy deep sleep, and that’s why I always travel with an eye mask when I’m on long-haul flights.

If you’ve stayed at a luxury hotel, you can typically get these for free, but there are a couple available on Amazon that would be an excellent purchase and gift idea for men who are frequent travelers!

Once again, this might not be the most flashy gift, but it can really come in handy, and I’m sure it would be appreciated!

36) ALPHABEING INFLATABLE LOUNGER

While you may look a little silly while trying to inflate this by running it back and forth in the air, these inflatable loungers are a super practical and fun way to have a place to sit anywhere while you’re traveling! Hell, you can use these while having a beer at the Eiffel Tower, smoking a joint in Amsterdam, or relaxing on a beach!

I’ve seen these become quite popular in recent years (especially at music festivals), and think they would make for an excellent travel gift!  There are a ton of different brands available online, but I’d recommend this  AlphaBeing Inflatable Lounger , as I’m a big fan of the company as that’s what my friends use and told me it works great!

Here’s a great instructional video on how to efficiently inflate these types of loungers! 

37) XENVO PRO LENS KIT

With the growing technology of smartphones, you really don’t even need to carry around an expensive camera anymore! And with this fun Xenvo Pro Smartphone Lens kit , you can expand your travel photography while traveling abroad (but this wouldn’t be a great gift idea for someone who has an iPhone 11). But this item is the #1 best-selling product in the industry, has stellar reviews, and would make for a perfect gift idea for men who travel!

Price: $39.99

38) FYY TECH POUCH 

I’m not sure about you, but I travel with quite a lot of technology and camera equipment, and sometimes things can get a bit messy! So I’ve become a big fan of using tech pouches to stay organized while I’m traveling, and this FYY Tech Pouch has been completely perfect for me.

I tend to store an external power bank, headphones, spare SD cards, my GoPro, and various necessary cables inside mine. It’s pretty spacious, with tons of different storage compartments, and is backed by an incredible lifetime warranty!

Price: $15.99

39) MAGICFIBER MICROFIBER CLEANING CLOTHS  (6-PACK)

Microfiber cloths are always nice to have around, and MagicFiber is the #1 best-selling brand online and is regularly recognized for its premium quality! You can purchase a 6-pack of these for less than $10 and gift one of them to a bunch of different traveling friends.

This would be a great small addition to a travel gift, a stocking stuffer for Christmas, and are simply perfect for anyone with an LCD TV screen, smartphone, glasses, computer, etc.

I’ve personally purchased a few packs of these now, and would highly recommend them!

Price: $9.95

40) SKYLIGHT DIGITAL PICTURE FRAME

Since I’ve recently moved into my new apartment, I’ve had tons of fun ordering prints of my favorite photos, and displaying my artwork. So with this awesome digital picture frame, you’ll be able to give them a gift of awesome memories from their travels.

41) FUJIFILM INSTAX MINI 9 INSTANT POLAROID CAMERA

Okay, some might say that this gift would be better suited for women, but I personally love my Fujifilm Polaroid camera ! I use it to make super cool shots for social media, and it’s just a fun thing to have on trips. There’s just something special about Polaroid pictures, and it would also be a gift that keeps on giving!

I actually put the other adaptors on my camera bag because it’s super easy to change the strap from one to the other.

Another fun idea would be to order them a Customized Camera Strap Design on Etsy !

Having one of these bad boys is crucial to any long-term backpacking trip, hiking adventure, or beach day. They’re also super handy for sports, gym, and swimming.

You can get them from several brands and most will do the job of ultraquick absorption and drying — I’ve purchased many as I’ve accidentally left one during my last trip to Bali .

When it comes to ultimate convenience for travel-sized items, it really doesn’t get better than this 15-Piece Travel Kit .  Ideal for carry-on travel or shorter vacations abroad, it’s honestly crazy how many items you get for the price point!

For the amateur chef: FinaMill Pepper Mill & Spice Grinder

FinaMill’s battery-operated grinder comes with interchangeable pods your brother can fill with their favorite spices and swap out as they’re cooking. Operating the grinder, as well as adding and releasing pods from it, only takes one hand, says NBC Select social media editor Sadhana Daruvuri. “I can flip the meat I’m cooking with one hand and just press a button to season with the other,” she says. One full charge gives the grinder up to two months of battery life, according to the brand, and you can choose from multiple grind sizes. The FinaMill’s pods also serve as storage for spices.

The record player has a vintage suitcase design and stands on foot pads, keeping it sturdy on tables or shelves.

For those with a green thumb: Easy Plant Green Snake Plant

Add to — or start — your brother’s collection of indoor plants by gifting them this low-maintenance Snake Plant.

For the gym rat: Quince Flowknit Performance Jogger

Your brother will get plenty of use out of Quince’s Flowknit Performance Jogger if they regularly hit the gym or play sports. The jogger — made from a recycled polyester and spandex blend — has a relaxed fit with a tapered leg, a drawstring tie at the waist and a zippered back pocket.

For those with a sweet tooth: Seattle Chocolate Truffle Palette Chocolate Gift Box

Six different flavors are included: Mexican Hot Chocolate, Hazelnut Butter, San Juan Sea Salt, Salted Almond (my personal favorite), Pink Bubble and Blackberry Créme.

For those who prefer to be in slippers: Bombas Men’s Gripper Slipper

Bombas’ slippers are the ideal footwear for your brother to sport while relaxing or working from home. They’re designed with a cushioned footbed and silicone grippers on the bottoms to help prevent slipping on slick floors. The interior is also lined to keep feet cozy and warm.

It’s also designed with a handle, giving your brother a convenient place to grip. You can purchase it in colors like Birch (gray), Indigo, black and white, plus it comes in a larger 40-ounce model.

The Kindle — available in Black and Denim colors — is built with a USB-C port, and a full battery gives you up to six weeks of use, according to Amazon. 

For the little brother: Hugimals Sam the Sloth

Weighted stuffed animals function similarly to weighted blankets — they provide gentle pressure against your body to induce feeling calm, safe and cozy, experts told us. And since they’re smaller and lighter than weighted blankets, they’re great for kids. Hugimals offers weighted puppy , elephant , sloth and cat characters, so you’re bound to find one your little brother loves. They can snuggle with it in bed, hold it while traveling or squeeze it when they need a little extra comfort. Hugimals’ 4.5-pound stuffed animals get their weight from non-toxic glass beads, which are contained in a pouch you can remove to wash the toy. 

For the golfer: Stitch Golf Contender Knit Head Cover

Contender knit head cover.

A head cover like this one can protect your brother’s favorite golf club or make it stand out in their bag.

It also pairs with a companion app, where your brother can upload content to display or invite others to do the same.

For the pet parent: Petcube Bites 2 Lite Pet Monitoring Camera

Petcube bites 2 lite interactive.

Pet parents naturally worry about their furry friends when they’re not home. If that sounds like your brother, ease thier anxiety with Petcube’s camera, a NBC Select Pet Awards winner . It provides a wide-angle view of rooms and live streams video to a companion app, ensuring your brother can always keep an eye on their cat or dog. The pet camera also offers two-way audio and a built-in treat dispenser.

For the gamer: Kinesis Gaming TKO Mechanical Keyboard

Kinesis gaming tko mechanical keyboard.

Because this keyboard is made without a number pad, function row, modifier keys and arrow keys, it has a small footprint, giving your brother more room to move their mouse around while playing video games. The keyboard’s adjustable feet can be propped up or tilted at different angles, and it comes with a carrying case for safe storage. Your brother can also customize the keyboard’s modular space bar and the keys’ backlighting, as well as the lighting around the edges of the device.

For the wine aficionado: Usual Wines Mixed Pack

Usual wines mixed pack.

Usual Wine’s Mixed Pack comes with bottles of red, rosé and brut (a sparkling wine), all made from sustainably grown grapes and without added sugars or artificial ingredients like flavors or colorants, according to the brand.

For the football fanatic: Sh*t That I Knit NFL Beanie

Any football fan is grateful for products that help them show off their team pride, like these handmade beanies that are officially licensed NFL products.

The brand’s beanies are knit with 100% merino wool and come with detachable yarn pom poms. 

Best gifts for brothers under $200

For those who need help getting out of bed: hatch restore 2, hatch restore 2.

Rebecca Rodriguez, NBC Select editorial operations manager, says the Hatch Restore 2 sunrise alarm clock is a “lifesaver, especially during the winter months when you don’t want to get out of bed because it’s so dark outside.” Using a companion app, your brother can program what sound, light color and light intensity gradually wakes them up. The device’s wind down mode also allows your brother to set up a relaxing nighttime soundscape and lightscape before bed. The Hatch Restore 2 acts as a noise machine as well, and it’s covered in linen, so it looks nice on a nightstand, Rodriguez says.

For those looking to revamp their wardrobe: Rothy’s The Monty

Rothy's the monty.

Rothy’s is one of my favorite shoe brands — I own three pairs of its machine-washable sneakers, which I comfortably wear for hours to work, while running errands and while walking around New York City. Rothy’s The Monty men’s sneaker blends a sophisticated design with comfortable wear, making it a great office shoe for your brother. The lace-up shoe’s upper is made from merino wool, and its contoured foot bed supports feet while its outsoles add traction. The Monty comes in six colors like Vintage Brown, Timber Brown and Mountain Grey, and it’s available in men’s sizes 7 through 16 (including half sizes).

For those who prefer a night in: Brooklyn Bedding Chunky Knit Weighted Blanket

Brooklyn bedding chunky knit weighted blanket.

Your brother can use this weighted blanket — a NBC Select Wellness Award winner — during a relaxing night in. Its has an open-knit design, which allows air to flow through the soft polyester jersey fabric to keep your brother cool. The blanket is available in 10-pound or 12-pound weights, both of which I find manageable to move by myself around my apartment. You can purchase the blankets in cream and gray colors.

The Best Gifts for Brothers May Be The Most Fun You’ve Had in Years

By Cyrus Ferguson and Megan Gustashaw

No matter what the sibling dynamics—we hate to infer anything—shopping for the best gifts for brothers (and spiritual brothers, let's not discount our closest friends) should ideally turn up options that are more imaginative than a portable phone charger or bottle opener. Still, brothers can be difficult to shop for. They’re elusive, they insist they don’t want anything, or they have everything, or they intentionally own nothing—it’s always something. You wouldn’t be here if you didn’t agree on some level. Which is why we would like to cleanse you of your brother-gift-giving anxiety. To remind you that buying gifts should be fun, even when you’ve selected something simple or practical. To give you permission to go for something you think is a wonderful choice for him, and if he doesn’t get it? Well, that’s what Christmas is for. Our favorite gifts for brothers on this list range from an ultra-luxe power generator to the perfect pack of ribbed dress socks . We hope something catches your eye, and delights him in the process. Gather yourself, and gift on with confidence. And remember: Your brother loves you no matter what.

16. 100% Silk Tommy Hilfiger Tie

Similar to the button-down shirt, this may not be a gift that they are super excited to use on Christmas day, but it is  definitely  something they will use!

A tie is a wardrobe essential, so if your brother doesn't have one (or only has a few) this would make an amazing, practical gift!

Guys are obsessed with these Carhartt T-shirts. Not only did the brand become suddenly popular, the quality of the shirts is insane for the price point! This is a shirt that will last them forever and be a great wardrobe staple.

22. 2-pack of Trendy Sunglasses

If your brother is a big fan of any big sports team, Christmas is the perfect time to get him a bunch of gear to rep his favorite team! A hat is the perfect, easy way to go!

31. Handheld Percussion Muscle Massage Gun

The Art of Shaving is super high quality and will help your brother have a luxurious shaving routine! It does not come with a razor, but you could totally add one to the gift!

47. Spike Ball Game  Complete Set

This may be the ultimate outdoor game ever. Every guy I have ever talked to about Spikeball is  obsessed.  It's easy to learn, super fast-paced, and can get really competitive! The best part is that you can pack it up and take it anywhere with you!

The Best Gift Ideas for Mom | The Best Gift Ideas for Mothers on Amazon | Inexpensive Mother's Day Gifts

Dog Travel Bag

She can pack all the things she needs for a picnic in the park, and all the things her pup needs. From water bowls to toys, this bag has room for it all. "I love this bag. It has space for everything and looks so nice," one Amazon reviewer wrote.

We Recently Tested: Best Dog Harnesses for All Types of Dogs

Dog Mom Embroidered Sweatshirt

She'll never want to take this cozy sweatshirt off. It's made of soft cotton, and it's available in a few different colors and designs. You can get any phrase written on the front, and her dog's name on the sleeves.

Custom Dog Socks

There are over 10 different colors to pick from. There's also a design that just features the dog's face (no bone print), if you really want to go all out. Again, all it takes is the simple upload of a photo, and you're done.

Funny Mother's Day Card

Created especially for dog moms, this funny Mother's Day card will have her laughing out loud because it's all too relatable.

Got the Card? Here's What to Write Inside

Pet Portrait

Even if she already has one, she'll want another. You can even get it done with more than one pet. After you submit the photo, pick the size, background color and frame, and you're all set.

Inkless Hand and Footprint Kit

It's an inkless ink pad! Don't try to wrap your head around it, instead just know that the brand says it's 100% safe. She just has to press her pup's paws onto the pad, and she'll forever have their sweet imprint. Bonus points if you do it, and give it to her all wrapped up.

Funny Dog People Pens

You don't have to go all out, especially considering you probably have a lot of moms to buy for this Mother's Day. Although inexpensive, she'll absolutely appreciate the sentiment of these funny pens.

Bandanas & Matching Scrunchie Set

We saw the sweet print here, and just had to share. But there are actually so many different designs to choose from (including a very sophisticated green plaid ), as well as options for small dogs and larger pups.

Dog Mom Bracelet

A subtle way to honor her pet, she can wear this bracelet every day thanks to the cord chain that allows it to be taken on and off with ease. It also comes with a really sweet card about what it takes to be a dog mom.

Stemless Wine Glass

She can enjoy her nightly pour in style with this punny stemless wine glass, which has an engraving that's sure to make her laugh.

Dog Mom Tumbler

She can carry her favorite drinks on the go with this cute tumbler. Sure, it's no Stanley, but the brand says it's made of stainless steel, and will keep drinks warm for six or cold for 12 hours.

Dog Mom Wood Picture Frame

Moms love to show off photos of their kids. It's that simple. This frame in four different sizes, but we think the bigger, the better.

Dog Ring Dish

This ceramic ring dish is ideal for holding all of her favorite trinkets. Not to mention, it's under $14 and reviewers are giving it high marks for appearance and quality.

Dog Bandana

There's nothing cuter than a dog in a bandana, as any fur mom knows. This little cotton number will fit most dogs, but just keep in mind the minimum weight recommendation is 20-pounds.

Dog Mom Cup

Glass drinking cups have been a popular choice this season for GH readers, and this cute little number does not disappoint. It'll hold 16 ounces of their favorite drink, and it comes with a glass straw to cut down on single-use plastic waste.

Personalized Pet Necklace

Any dog mom would adore this necklace, which can be customized with a photo of their fur baby. Made of stainless steel, it comes in gold, rose gold and silver finishes. The 17-inch chain will hit the perfect spot on her neck, and it has a lobster clasp that makes it easy to take on and off.

Angel of Friendship

Her dog will always be her best friend and her angel, so this beautiful handmade resin figurine is just the ticket. It's perfect to display on a bookshelf or coffee table, and it even comes with a gift box for convenience.

Women's T-Shirt

She can say it on a t-shirt with this sweet little crew neck number. It's made of a soft cotton-poly blend, according to the brand, and has a fitted silhouette.

Dog Mom Hat

Perfect for the dog days of summer, this cute cap will keep her head cool in muggy weather. It has a fitted design and an adjustable buckle on the back to easily loop a ponytail through.

Dog Mom Tote Bag

A gift that combines her love of Taylor Swift with her dog? Pretty hard to beat. It's made of canvas, and it's large enough to carry groceries, daily essentials and more.
