The Ultimate Amazon Gift Guide for the Traveler in Your Life
With the holidays coming right around the corner (I know it’s September but it’s closer than you think!) it’s important to start shopping now with this ultimate Amazon gift guide for the traveler in your life.
Or, you can treat yourself this holiday season and get yourself some items on the gift guide, I’m not going to say anything.
As a traveler myself, these are the tried and true products that I’ve used and recommend. Some I had made the investment in and bought before the trip and others I didn’t pack with me and I totally regretted it!
I don’t want the same to happen to that special traveler in your life (or you)! Keep reading this gift guide to see my complete list of recommendations.
This post is all about the ultimate Amazon gift guide for the traveler in your life.
Absolute Travel Tech Gift Guide
Tech Storage Case
No matter what anyone says, traveling with tech accessories is a hassle! We all love our phone, kindle, laptop, watch, etc. but the charging wires that come with it… 🙄 Yikes!
Whoever you’re giving this tech storage case to, I’m pretty sure they’ll not only be excited but also relieved to have enough storage to safely pack their electronics.
Basic Kindle
If you’re a reader and traveler like me, you’ll know that bringing a bunch of books with you can take up a ton of space AND makes the bag heavier especially if you read larger classics like me (I’m looking at you War and Peace). Insert the Kindle, a tiny e-reader that can store hundreds of books all in one device to take with you on the plane or on the beach.
I have the Basic Kindle which is what is shown above and it’s enough for me however, you can upgrade to the Kindle Paperwhite if you’re looking for something waterproof with a bigger screen.
AirTags
HUGE life saver alert! AirTags are a MUST if you are flying to any destination, especially if you have a connecting flight. Occasionally, luggage gets lost and having AirTags attached to your suitcase can help you locate your lost belongings.
They can also give you ease of mind if you’re having your luggage transported for you from the airport to your hotel. You’re able to track your suitcases to make sure they are going to the correct location OR you can find them incase they get lost en route.
If you get anything off this gift guide, it should be this!
Universal Travel Adapter
This universal travel adapter is going to be in my next purchase from Amazon since it has ALL of the adapters of the world in one! It’s a one-time purchase and easier to carry instead of buying an adapter for each country or region. How convenient?
Currently, I only have an Ireland/UK adapter but I have plans to travel around the world someday and I’m going to need this type of an adapter.
3-1 Cord Adapter
I’ve actually never saw anything like this 3-1 cord adapter until I was scrolling on TikTok! I think this adapter would be best if you’re traveling with minimal luggage or even a road trip where space is sometimes limited.
I can also see this being the go-to cord when traveling in groups as well. That way anyone in your friend group can charge their phone.
Magnetic Charging Bank
I LOVE LOVE LOVE magnetic charging banks. They are so convenient and easy to use. Not to mention, it’s one less wire to pack with you.
These little guys are also super helpful if you know you won’t be near any charging outlets on your adventures.
Ultimate In-Flight Travel Gift Guide
Fitted Sleep Mask
I’ve heard great things about this fitted sleep mask and I just had to add it to this gift guide. The strength of this sleep mask is the fact that it has fitted paddings around the eyes so sneaky light doesn’t pass through the openings.
Personally, I cannot fall asleep on planes (including red-eyes) but, I plan on trying this sleeping mask out for my next flight.
Collapsable Water Bottle
I feel that new travelers tend to get confused when it comes to bringing water bottles to an airport. You ARE ALLOWED to bring an EMPTY water bottle through TSA and fill it up once you pass through security. That is totally fine.
These water bottles are ideal because you can easily keep them stuffed in your carry on bag while going through TSA and then unfold them to fill them with water. You can also carry them around with you while you’re on your adventures.
Wireless Headphone Adapter
I’ll be honest and say I am a little skeptical about this one but I’ve heard great things from fellow travelers. It’s a great wireless headphone adapter to bring on the plane so you can listen to the movies or shows you are watching without having to use the headphones that are provided.
What’s great about this specific adapter is that it can connect to two wireless headphones so you and a friend can enjoy the same movie or T.V. show together. It’s definitely an adapter that I will keep my eye on. For now, I will just enjoy the novelty of free airplane headphones.
Best Packing Bags for Travel
Compression Packing Cubes
These compression packing cubes are a recent purchase of mine as well. Before purchasing the above packing cubes, I was using plain and flimsy ones from T.J.Maxx. They had no structure and did not save any room. If anything, they wasted additional space by holding in air.
I haven’t travelled with them yet but, I do have a trip coming up in October that I will be using them for.
Shoe Travel Bags
No one wants their dirty shoes rubbing up against clean clothes or toiletries – especially if everything is packed into a small carry on bag.
Shoe travel bags are staples when packing for a trip and I highly recommend this pair. They’re big enough to fit almost any type of shoe.
Personal Carry On Bag
This little bag was a Christmas gift to myself this past year and I absolutely LOVE IT! It has two small compartments that can surprisingly fit a lot inside of it (including a passport). Not only is it functional and stylish, it’s small and unassuming so pick pocketers won’t be tempted to steal.
Waterproof Beach Tote
If your vacation involves going to the beach or to the pool, I highly recommend getting this waterproof beach tote. It’s waterproof, durable and, can hold a lot in it.
The best part is, it’s super easy to get the sand out.
Conclusion…
And there you have it! This Amazon gift guide is sure to help with any last minute gift shopping for the traveler in your life (or you 😉).
