With the holidays upon us, I wanted to put together a gift guide meant for the traveler in your life. I’ve covered items that will appeal to everyone from businessmen flying coast to coast to extreme sports addicts looking for their next thrill.
Airline Lounge Membership
Sky Club at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International via Delta.com
Frequent travelers appreciate the way little perks add up better than most. There is no better way to make those perks a year-round reality than by buying them a lounge membership to their airline of choice. Delta Sky Club, American Admirals Club and the United Club are the most popular and run between $450-$550 annually for a single membership. Learn a bit more about what they include here.
Away Travel Luggage
Away Carry On Luggage Set via AwayTravel.com
Direct-to-consumer brand, Away Travel, has changed the luggage game. Top notch features like unbreakable shells, interior compartments, and built-in USB chargers make their products as rugged and convenient as anything on the market. Even the most discerning of travel enthusiasts would love to have one of these!
They have a refer-a-friend program that gives each of us a $20 credit after you make your first purchase. Buy em’ here.
Bose QC35 or Sennheiser PXC 550
Bose QC35 via Bose.com
Noise-cancelling headphones are a no brainer for the frequent traveler. You can’t go wrong picking up the Bose QC35 or Sennheiser PXC 550. Both options are wireless, offering high-fidelity sound and a stylish look. Your only regret will be that you didn’t pick up a pair for yourself! Buy Bose or Buy Sennheiser.
LugLoc
LugLoc and App via LugLoc.com
There are few feelings worse than arriving at your destination only to find out your luggage is lost or delayed. LugLoc is a geo-tracking device meant to ease that discomfort. Just slip the device into your bag and track it anywhere in the world using a downloadable smartphone app. Now if we could only get airlines to be a bit better about causing this problem in the first place. Buy a LugLoc.
Ostrich Pillow
Ostrich Pillow via OstrichPillow.com
It may look ridiculous, but the Ostrich Pillow is amazingly comfortable. If this look isn’t for you, Ostrich has also created the Ostrich Pillow Light and Ostrich Pillow Mini, two options that look a little more “normal.” Regardless of which option you pick up, I guarantee it will help with the unavoidable sore neck we’ve all had to deal with after sleeping on a plane or train. Buy an Ostrich Pillow.
Olloclip
iPhone 7 Olloclip via Olloclip.com
An Olloclip is the ideal gift for would-be photographers. High-quality lenses, specially designed to fit specific Apple and Samsung devices, make it easy to improve the photos you can squeeze out of your phone or tablet. Wide-angle, macro and telephoto lenses can all be easily slipped into a pocket so that travelers on the go don’t have to worry about lugging around a big DSLR. Buy an Olloclip.
Shinola Detroit Baggage
Shinola Womens Zip Satchel via Shinola.com
Shinola brings Detroit-made leather goods to you at an affordable price. Stylish, high-quality work bags that will last a lifetime are truly the gift that keeps on giving. For men, I recommend the Zip Top Messenger. For women, the Zip Satchel. With Shinola, you really can’t go wrong! Buy a Woman’s Bag or Buy a Men’s Bag.
The AquaVault or The Beach Vault
The AquaVault via TheAquaVault.com
Travel doesn’t always have to be about style and comfort. Sometimes, it’s just about having worry-free fun. That’s where the Aqua Vault and Beach Vault come into play. The Aqua Vault locks onto any beach chair, table or railing and protects your belongings. The Beach Vault easily burrows in the sand underneath your beach towel to provide a safely hidden storage space. Buy an Aqua Vault or Beach Vault.
Mophie Battery Backup
Mophie Juice Pack Air via Mophie.com
How do you order an Uber with a dead mobile device? You don’t, which is exactly why I turn to Mophie for my battery backup needs. Their battery cases are a great way to ensure your phone always has an extra charge and their Powerstation universal batteries are great for tablets and other USB devices. Buy a Mophie Battery Backup.
ZeroGrid Packing Cubes
ZeroGrid Compression Packing Cubes via ZeroGrid.com
Packing tools may not be as glamorous as the Away Travel luggage I mentioned above, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t incredibly useful. Zero Grid’s Packlite Compression Packing Cubes make it easy for even the most unorganized traveler to pack quickly. They’re designed to fit perfectly into standard size luggage, extremely light and come with a lifetime guarantee. Buy Compression Packing Cubes.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite via Amazon.com
Even though the average consumer already has a laptop, tablet and smartphone adding a Kindle Paperwhite to the mix is 100% worth it. Lightweight, glare-free and easy on eye-strain, the Paperwhite is a dedicated eReader with a battery that lasts for weeks. Meaning you can leave it in your bag and pick back up right where you left off. Buy an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite.
Action Camera/ Drone
DJI Mavic via DJI.com
If the traveler in your life is like me, they want to capitalize on opportunities to document their adventures. When it comes to rugged, action-sports cameras, nothing beats a GoPro. For those who are always looking to take it to the next level, consider the DJI Mavic or Hover Camera Passport drone. The Mavic is ideal for outdoor adventures and the Passport is better for treks in the city. Both are guaranteed not to disappoint. Buy a GoPro, DJI Mavic, or Hover Camera Passport.
