Buying gifts for a traveler is easy. Just think of ways to make traveling easier or more pleasurable and take it from there. Gift-giving becomes more complex, of course, if you’re dealing with an experienced globetrotter who already owns the most popular travel gifts, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still surprise them with something unexpected or give their old travel items a new and intriguing upgrade.
Below are some of the best gifts for travelers from the Travelpro® collection, broken down by different types of travelers. Whether you need travel gifts for a road warrior or a family of vacationers, we’ve got you covered!
Gift for Travelers
Gifts for the Luxury Traveler
Luxury travelers believe travel is an experience to savor, a belief that’s often reflected in the quality of their luggage and travel accessories. These are the travelers who invest in high-end noise-canceling headphones and who have mastered the art of packing a carry-on bag. For travelers of this caliber, we recommend the following travel gifts:
- The Maxlite® 5 Drop-Bottom Weekender offers the convenience of a soft-sided duffle bag with the built-in organization of a well-appointed suitcase, with a unique drop-bottom compartment for shoes, laundry, and other items separated from the main packing compartment.
- The Crew™ Executive Choice™ 3 Women’s Tote looks as good as it performs, with high-quality, stain-resistant nylon fabric and leather accents. Add in separate padded laptop and tablet sleeves and a Travelpro® QuickSlip™ front pocket with magnetic closure storing a cell phone or other essentials, and you have a welcome addition to any traveler’s luggage set.
- The Travelpro® Essentials™ Personalization Kit is one of the best gifts for a traveler who has everything they need. The kit’s leather luggage tag, leather luggage handle wrap, and travel accessories pouch add extra convenience and a luxurious look experienced travelers appreciate.
- The Travelpro® Essentials™ Leather Passport Cover protects personal information with built-in Travelpro® ID and room for a passport and four credit cards or personal identification.
- The Platinum® Elite Carry-On Rolling Garment Bag lets your luxury traveler keep their clothing wrinkle-free with a fold-out extension panel and padded roll bar to accommodate hanging suits, dresses, and shirts.
Best Gifts for Digital Nomads
Like luxury travelers, digital nomads enjoy travel gifts that make flying and long-distance drives more enjoyable. Travel gifts for digital nomads can also focus on items that allow them to quickly pack, unpack, or live out of their suitcases. Examples include
- The Travelpro® Altitude™ Organization Kit helps digital nomads keep their essential cords, chargers, and other tech accessories organized and within easy reach. Full-grain leather touch points and airline-grade aluminum hardware give the kit an attractive look, while a high-density ballistic ECOFAB™ exterior material with DuraGuard® coating protects against stains and abrasions.
- The Travelpro® Altitude™ Cord Pouch is a basic but functional way to keep cords and chargers organized, with a compact form that makes it easy to pack.
- The Crew™ Executive Choice™ 3 Slim Laptop Backpack can be used as a carry-on or under-the-seat personal item and includes padded tablet and laptop sleeves, a Travelpro® QuickSlip™ front pocket with magnetic closure, and a Travelpro® ID TheftBlock™ pocket to protect credit cards and passports protected from identity theft.
- The Travelpro® Platinum® Elite Carry-On Spinner is one of the best travel gift ideas for a digital nomad. In addition to a deluxe tie-down system, integrated accessory pockets, and a removable quart-size wet pocket, the spinner offers integrated USB A and C ports with a dedicated power bank pocket to help you stay charged as you travel.
Gifts for the Minimalist Traveler
Being able to travel with only a carry-on and personal item is a valuable skill. If you know someone who prefers to travel light, these minimalist travel gifts may be just the ticket:
- The Travelpro® Altitude™ Slim Expandable Laptop Backpack is large enough for your laptop, tablet, and travel essentials and small enough to fit a domestic airline seat. The zippered expansion increases bag size by 20%.
- The Travelpro® Essentials™ SparePack™ Foldable Duffel 2.0 is a nearly weightless bag for day trips or as a personal carry-on, and it gives you additional packing capacity if you come home with more than your luggage can hold.
- The Travelpro® Essentials™ MaxAccess Cubes™ Deluxe Hanging Toiletry Organizer lets you organize your toiletries, while the convenient hanging hook lets you save on hotel room counter space—just hang the open organizer from a towel bar for quick access.
Gifts for Traveling Families
A new luggage set is one of the best travel gifts for a family; extra packing space is always welcome when traveling in a group. If you’d prefer a less expensive but extremely thoughtful travel gift, packing cubes help keep everyone’s clothing organized and separated. We recommend the following gifts:
- The Travelpro® x Travel + Leisure® Carry-On / Medium Check-In Set is ideal for couples or three-person families. A tough 100% polycarbonate exterior hard shell and eye-catching zinc corner armor protect against scuffs, while integrated TSA locks add a welcome layer of security.
- The Maxlite® 5 Floating On Air Luggage Set makes an excellent travel gift for families of four or more who will appreciate the packing possibilities of a 21” carry-on spinner and a 25" and 29" checked spinner. A zippered expansion option adds up to 2” more packing capacity per bag.
- 3-Pack Roadtrip Large Packing Cubes can be used individually or as a set to keep family packing organized, with plenty of room for rolled or folded t-shirts, shorts, pants, dresses, and button-down shirts or jackets.
