The Perfect Gift Idea for Travelers in Your Life
Happy Autumn everyone!
Yes, another year has practically flown by. Now that fall is here and the temps in Ohio are finally starting to drop a bit…I know it’s only a matter of time before my AMAZING and super-caring mother-in-law starts hinting that it’s well-past time to start giving her my Christmas gift ideas. (Love you Rosemarie 🤍)
So…holiday shopping is right around the corner.
If you’ve got a travel lover in your life, finding the right gift idea for travelers can be a bit of a puzzle. But don’t stress, I’ve got you covered! Whether they’re always on the go with the latest gadgets, love dressing for adventure, or just need something super practical, this gift guide has a little something for every type of traveler (yourself included).
Grab a cup of coffee (or maybe a ticket to somewhere warm) and check out these fun finds!
BÉIS Luggage + Accessories
Luggage is always a great gift idea for travelers; and for anyone who knows me, they know I’m more than slightly OBSESSED with BEIS.
Their amazing luggage, weekenders, and ALL of the fantastic accessories they continue to roll-out (pun intended) are affordable, fun, and functionable. Plus, with the broad range of mix and match colors, your travel day will be super fashionable as well! Let the compliments commence 🤩

Luggage + Bags
The ultimate gift idea for travelers is new luggage and BÉIS delivers!
Besides the ADORABLE color combos, these bags are made well! Durable and well-designed for today’s traveler.
Luggage:
Durable, hard-shell exterior
Expandable by 2”
Included weight indicator that will show red if over 50 lbs
Super-easy gliding 360* wheels
Included TSA locking device
And possibly one of my favorite details is the super-comfy handle (IYKYK)
The Bags:
There’s a few different sizes/styles of the weekender bags, including the mini weekender and the convertible weekender (and the newly released day-tripper bag!). Check them out online. There’s great details and videos on the product pages so you can see which one is the perfect gift for your person. (Which for me…there’s 4 weekenders that have been PERFECT for me so far! Including the citron green and beige plaid…sorry…no longer available. Don’t be too jealous 🤩). The mini weekender is great for 1 or 2 nights; while the regular size is great for a long weekend. They’re both bigger in size to fit a lot but can still slide under the airline seat.
I LOVE the BÉIS Backpack as well! It fully unzips so can almost be treated as luggage. Nice compartments, including compression straps on the inside that hold packing cubes great. Perfect to secure some extra clothing essentials in this bag when checking a suitcase to make sure you’ve got a swimsuit and change of clothes in case luggage gets left behind! And I know this is odd detail to call out - but the zippers are seriously the smoothest gliding zippers I’ve ever seen.
Small Carry-on in Olive (perfect for European airlines)
Front Pocket Carry-on in Beige (perfect for business travelers)
BÉIS Travel Gear
The BÉIS Accessories are just perfection. Period. Style and function. And just look at these colors!! ✈️🤩💜
Here’s a few of my favorite travel items. Mix and match a few accessories for a fun gift idea for your travel lover!
Functional Fashion for Travel
SPANX AirEssentials Sleeveless Jumpsuit - this jumpsuit is so freaking soft and comfy, it’s become my go-to outfit for flights. Seriously…on overnight flights, they feel like pajamas! Even though it’s the Spanx brand, the AirEssentials clothing line isn’t tight or constricting material at all! The jumpsuit is also stylish enough to dress up with some heels and jewelry for an evening out. Very versatile and available in multiple colors
ZESTT Organics Travel Scarf - Talk about being uber-versatile, ZESTT Organics fabulous travel scarf can be worn over 20 ways. Perfect for a wrap on cooler evenings, having a handy scarf when sightseeing churches, also works great as a comfy blanket on a flight or in a chilly hotel room. Several neutral colors available. A great gift idea for travelers that can be used just as much when they’re not off jet-setting somewhere!
On Cloud 5 Sneakers - for a girl with constant feet issues, including battling plantar fasciitis, I LOVE these On Cloud 5 sneakers! They are my go-to when I know I’m going to be out walking and exploring all day! Plus, I think they look super stylish also. Perfect to wear with pants, shorts, dresses, and skirts. And bonus…they’re slip-on so also super easy in the TSA lines!
Triple Zip Small Crossbody Bag - this bag is PERFECT for trips and everyday wear. Small size but holds lots! Available in 30 colors. Full-disclosure, I own this purse in about 9 colors! It’s my everyday bag…hand’s down. Super inexpensive and very durable. For a small bag, it holds SO much! The outside zipper holds my iPhone perfectly. There’s an outside zipper on each side; plus 3 more compartments for organizing on the inside as well (seriously…it holds a ridiculous amount of stuff for it’s small size). You should probably get one for you when you’re getting one for your bestie 💜
Travelon Anti-Theft Crossbody Travel Bag - this bad boy is perfect for sightseeing. It holds quite a bit but still comfortable as a crossbody bag. The side pockets unzip to make plenty of room for a water bottle or travel umbrella. There’s lots of zippered compartments on the inside as well. Best part? The 5-point anti-theft security system: lock down straps to help prevent grab-and-go thieves; locking compartments to help prevent pickpockets from getting into your bag (secure your passport, credit card, money); slash-resistant body helps prevent slash-and-grab theft in busy areas with a slash-resistant mesh barrier in all 4 sides and bag bottom panel; slash-resistant straps help prevent slash-and-run theft with a stainless steel wire inside the strap; and RFID-blocking pockets help prevent against electronic identity theft. Feel secure while still having everything you need for a day out exploring. Travelon bags are water and dirt resistant. This one comes in a few different colors, including black.
Tech Items for the Savvy Traveler
Apple AirPods Pro Wireless Earbuds - for some reason, I refused to get Apple AirPods for the longest time. I finally broke down and bought myself a pair this spring…and I love them! Comfy in my smaller ears, super easy to connect, and great sound. Has noise cancelling, transparency mode, and adaptive audio as well. Up to 6 hours of listening and the case charges super quick with the lightning USB-C.
Apple AirTag 4-Pack - never lose your luggage or belongings again. AirTags do not need to have an iPhone for these to work. Small and easy to store. These are an excellent gift idea for travelers.
Anker Power Bank - portable charger with 20% faster phone charging. Provides 3.6 charges for iPhone & 2.9 charges for Galaxy. Power banks are always a good gift idea for travelers or anyone that attends music festivals, long sporting events, camping, or anything that requires being away from an electric outlet for several hours!
Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Wireless Audio Transmitter - easily connect wireless headphones to airplanes/gym equipment
Epicka Universal Travel Adapter - includes 4 different plugs to cover over 150 countries; including US, UK, EU, and Australia
FYY Electronics Organizer - small, convenient size with several mesh compartments to organize all of your small cords/devices. Available in 3 different sizes and multiple colors
Additional Travel Gifts for Frequent Travelers
Bagsmart Toiletry bag - with hanging hook and several fold-up compartments
Smells Like Candle - for the woman in your life always looking forward to the next getaway!
The Foldie - this bag folds up into a tiny little pouch. But when unfolded, it becomes a super durable, large size tote with an over-the-shoulder strap and multiple zippered compartments. Think of someone traveling to Napa Valley or Italy that wants to bring home some bottles of vino. Use the Foldie for clothes on the way home, and you have your checked suitcase that you can now fill with securely packaged wine bottles. Bonus: these Wineskin Bags are fantastic to safely transport wine home in checked luggage! Total game changer.
BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Prima Ionic - This 2-in-1 hair tool acts as both a hair straightener and a curling iron. So travelers no longer have to bring 2 separate hair tools. It heats up in seconds, heating temps up to 465* F, has a true ion generator for frizz-free shine, and a super long cord for those hotel rooms that never seem to have conveniently located electrical outlets. BaBylissPRO tools are also dual-voltage, so can be used in both the US and Europe without needing a converter. You’ll just need a regular travel plug adaptor to use safely in Europe
For the Reader
Whether your traveler prefers lounging on a beach somewhere or is racking up some serious frequent flyer miles, a Kindle is always an excellent gift idea for travelers. Personally, I recommend a Kindle Paperwhite. There’s absolutely no glare, even out in the bright sun. So it’s like you’re reading an actual book. There’s a built in light to adjust during the daytime or nighttime. Prices starting at $149.99.
Choose between the Kindle Paperwhite 16 GB or the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition 32 GB with fabric cover and wireless charging dock.
