Gifts for Travellers Guide: The 13 Best Travel Gifts
What makes a good gift for a corporate traveller? If you’re looking for the ideal present for those in your team or life who travel across the ditch, to Asia, the U.S, or jet-set around the world frequently (either for work or pleasure), our Expert Travel Managers have put together a list of the most useful and unique travel gifts they’ve tried and tested themselves
Great gifts for travel tech
1. Portable power bank
The best gift for business travellers is a charging device. It’s an excellent gift for someone who is always on the go and need their phone battery to last more than five minutes! Luckily, there are lightweight, slim options that won’t take up too much space in your luggage.
2. International SIM / eSIM card
Give the gift of easy communication and a worry-free phone plan. Who wants to worry about data plans? Next-generation SIM cards make staying in contact effortless, allowing you to access data networks like a local. There are even eSIMs that work digitally with most up-to-date phones, supporting hassle-free connectivity without inserting a card.
3. Folding keyboard
A folding Bluetooth keyboard easily fits into any travel bag, unfolds into a full-size keyboard and connects seamlessly to all devices. They don't need it, but that's why it's an ideal gift. It's a great, unique travel gift for productivity champions.
4. Smart luggage tracker
Haven't you heard? A luggage tracker is essential for stress-free travel, especially business trips. Help secure that all-important luggage with a trusted brand that is compatible with a smartphone. Why not pick up one for a gift and one for yourself? Pro tip: Be sure to check your airline's baggage T&C's before you fly.
5. White noise machine
These soothing sleep aids come in a variety of prices and sizes - some even small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. This is the best gift for corporate travellers who have trouble with jet lag. Whether you're blocking out hotel hallway noise or unfamiliar city sounds, these machines can make it easier for travellers to get deep, restorative sleep wherever they are.
Optimal organisation gifts for business travellers
6. Tech organiser
Everyone carries a lot of technology these days, but what do you do with it all? Pick out a small, multi-pocket organiser that fits into a travel bag. It's like a toiletry bag for your devices and cords, keeping everything neat and ready so you can breeze through the security line!
7. Hanging toiletry bag
Unpack quickly in seconds with a hanging toiletry bag and keep your bathroom items organised and at your fingertips. It's the fast track from chaos to calm! Like the tech organisers we love, the ones with clear pockets are the best.
8. Digital luggage scale
A handheld scale for luggage is a great stocking filler and is so much more accurate than standing on a bathroom scale with a suitcase! Take it with you to check your luggage before you head home, to avoid any unexpected costs. Pro tip - If you're not traveling this holiday season, use it to weigh your packages.
9. Quality travel backpack
Commuter backpacks have gotten sleeker and more stylish since the rise of hybrid working. Some are the perfect size for a personal item under the seat in front on flights, making them the ideal gifts for someone travelling, many come with handy compartments and pockets for easy organisation.
10. Packing cubes
Whether you fold, roll or layer your clothes when packing, these lightweight pouches can help you stay organised during packing and in the hotel room. Plus, a collection of packing cubes makes it even easier to keep your items neatly separated and easily accessible.
Little luxuries for the hotel room
11. Travel humidifier
With overactive harsh and dry heat or air conditioning systems in some hotels, a mini humidifier can be a game changer, especially in the summer. They make unique travel gifts for use it in dry climates or older cities. Our Travel Managers love the ones that clip into a standard water bottle and come with a travel adapter plug.
12. Portable clothes steamer
Give the gift of looking fresh and crisp without the hassle of ironing. A portable steamer erases wrinkles like magic, making it a lifesaver, especially for business travel. No ironing board is required – what can be better than that!
13. Silk sleep mask or pillowcases
Proper rest should be a priority when you're on the road. Elevate your relaxation and rest those tired eyes from jet lag and all-nighters, no matter where you lay your head. Get them the gift of a luxury sleep experience, silk pillowcases let you sleep like a cloud.
