In today’s fast-paced, busy and exciting world, it’s likely you know at least one person who spends a lot of their time traveling. Whether it’s for work or vacations, or simply to feed their sense of adventure, a lot goes into taking a trip. From packing to lengthy flights, there are many aspects of traveling that aren’t so glamorous. Give the gift of easy, stress-free travel with these essential and useful items.
Packing Cubes
When it comes to packing, whether it’s for a weekend getaway or an extended vacation, frustration can quickly kick in. And once a destination is reached, finding a specific shirt or the right pair of pants can turn into an explosive mess of clothing. Packing cubes, specifically made to fit into standard luggage, are a great gift for a traveler. They provide organization, as well as extra space, and can help prevent wrinkled clothing and allow you to avoid mixing clean clothes with dirty clothes or shoes.
Travel Pillow
We all know that unless you pay for first class, airplanes aren’t the most comfortable form of travel. Spending anywhere from an hour to almost a full day on a plane, sitting in a chair, can become tiring. Give the gift of comfort with a travel pillow. With styles featuring cooling gel and ultra-plush covers, even the soundest airplane sleepers will appreciate this luxurious item and the relaxation it will bring them.
Headphones
Business calls, babies crying and unwanted conversations with strangers can easily be drowned out with a nice pair of headphones. Whether they want to listen to their favorite podcast, catch up on their favorite shows or relax with a movie or music, this is the perfect way to stay entertained on a trip. Headphones come in many shapes and sizes, with and without wires, even noise cancelling, making it easy to find the perfect pair for any traveller.
Tablet/Reading Device
Maybe they’d rather dive into a book to entertain them on their ride. And for avid readers, one book may not be enough. So instead of lugging around multiple books and magazines, an electronic reading device is a perfect alternative. With the ability to stock hundreds of books, magazines, newspapers, audio books and other reading materials, this is a smart gift for a travelling reader. New models even feature adjustable screen lighting to ease eye strain and ensure they aren’t disturbing their seat buddy, especially on nighttime flights.
Portable Charger
Imagine you land at your destination and your phone battery is running low. Or you’re 30,000 feet in the air working on a project for the meeting you’re headed to and your laptop dies. Many travellers find themselves in these situations, struggling to keep their batteries charged and ready for the next stop on their trip. A portable charger is essential and will be appreciated each time it’s used. This is a gift that will help keep every traveller going, city to city, with no interruption.
