The best gifts for travelers are small, light things that solve a real problem on the road: keeping a passport hidden, carrying cards and cash safely, keeping small items organized and seeing clearly in changing light. Below are seven travel gift ideas from our gift ideas collection, each for a different kind of traveler.
Every item ships free worldwide with no duties, so you can send a gift to a traveler wherever they live.
How to choose gifts for travelers
Start with how the person travels. A backpacker on long trips needs different things than someone who flies for business twice a month. Ask yourself three questions:
- What do they worry about? Pickpockets, lost cards and tangled cables are common travel worries.
- How much space do they have? Frequent flyers who pack carry-on only want gifts that fold flat or slip into a pocket.
- Where do they go? City trips, beaches and campsites all call for different gear.
1. Hidden Travel Passport Wallet
The Hidden Travel Passport Wallet tucks inside the trousers, so a passport, banknotes and an emergency card sit against the body where nobody can see them. It hooks onto belt loops or tucks behind the waistband, closes with hook-and-loop fastening and is made from a ripstop diamond-weave fabric with a soft lining on the back. If you are not sure how it is worn, our guide on how to wear a hidden passport wallet shows the steps.
Who it's for: anyone heading to busy airports, train stations or crowded city centers.
2. Travel Security Set
The Travel Security Set pairs the hidden passport wallet with a 2-piece set of buckleless elastic waist belts, in black or brown. It is a ready-made bundle, so you don't need to put a set together yourself.
Who it's for: someone planning a big trip who would like a complete gift in one box.
3. RFID Blocking Card Holder
The RFID Blocking Card Holder is a slim aluminum alloy holder for up to 5 cards. It blocks contactless card scans and has a built-in money bag for a few folded bills. It fits a front pocket, which is where many travelers prefer to keep their cards.
Who it's for: the traveler who carries a few cards and a little cash and wants to leave the bulky wallet at home.
4. Premium Black Mini Pouch
The Premium Black Mini Pouch is made from top-grain black leather with a soft inner lining that helps keep necklaces from tangling and metal from scratching. A spring closure opens with one hand. It is 1.5 cm thick and sized for rings, earrings, necklaces, wireless earbuds, cables or coins.
Who it's for: travelers who bring jewelry or earbuds and are tired of digging for them at the bottom of a bag.
5. Adjustable Tint Sunglasses
The Adjustable Tint Sunglasses have a dial on the frame with 9 levels, from lightest to darkest. The lenses are polarized, with UV400 protection that blocks UVA and UVB rays. The round frame is lightweight, with adjustable nose pads, and suits both men and women. Our article on how adjustable tint sunglasses work explains the dial.
Who it's for: road-trippers and anyone who moves between bright sun and shade during the day.
6. Bendable Silicone Phone Holder
The Bendable Silicone Phone Holder has a shape-memory core inside soft silicone, so it bends into a stand at almost any angle and rolls up small enough for a jacket pocket. The textured surface holds a phone in portrait or landscape, and a metal edge lip stops it sliding forward on a tray table. Read more in how a flexible phone holder works.
Who it's for: people who watch shows on flights or make video calls from hotel rooms.
7. Solar Glo Rechargeable Solar Light
The Solar Glo light charges in the sun with a built-in solar panel, inflates to a 60 cm light tube and folds down to about 16 × 12 cm. It is IP67 waterproof, hangs from an attached loop and has no batteries to replace.
Who it's for: campers, hikers, kayakers and anyone on an RV trip.
Stocking stuffers for travelers
If you need something small for a stocking, the card holder, the mini pouch and the rolled-up phone holder all fit easily. The passport wallet also folds flat. For a larger main gift, the Travel Security Set or the Solar Glo light work well. See more options in our unique gift ideas.
