Your Ultimate Travel Gift Guide 🎁

Hey Reader,

It is the time of year when travel plans start stacking up, schedules tighten, and every store pushes out a wave of deals. I actually love this stretch. Travel gear gets cheaper, and I get to share a few things that genuinely make trips easier, lighter, and more enjoyable.

I just published a new post with my favorite travel gift ideas for this year. Since many people are shopping for gifts right now, I pulled a handful of my favorites to share here. These are gifts that make sense for people who travel often and appreciate useful gear.

Here are some of my favorite travel gifts right now 🎁✈️

Soundcore by Anker Q20i Noise Cancelling Headphones

I own more headphones than I probably should, from wired backups to knockoff earbuds to high-end sets. The Soundcore Q20i headphones still stand out because they strike the right balance of sound quality, noise canceling, and long battery life without the premium price tag. They are comfortable, durable, and easy to throw into a carry-on for flights or hotel downtime.

JISULIFE Mini Handheld Fan

We have multiple versions of this JISULIFE mini fan, and they have earned a permanent spot in our theme park and warm-weather travel bags. They are surprisingly powerful for their size, hold a charge for a long time, and make hot days at places like Walt Disney World or Disneyland much more manageable. It is one of those small items that ends up getting used constantly.

Tripped Travel Gear Compression Packing Cubes

I discovered Tripped Travel Gear at a creator conference last year and was immediately impressed by their approach. We have the Checked Bag Essential Set with National Park artwork, which is both unique and well-made. These compression cubes help you pack more efficiently, keep outfits sorted, and stay organized throughout a trip. I have used them on every trip since picking them up.

Tripped Travel Gear Daypack

When I saw the Tripped Travel Gear Daypack in person, I pulled out my phone and ordered two on the spot. I had been searching for a lightweight backpack that did not rely on thin drawstring straps, and this one finally hit the mark. It packs down small, opens into a fully functional daypack with real straps, and works for city exploring, hikes, and everyday travel errands. It is one of the easiest “just in case” bags to bring along.

DJI Osmo Pocket 3

I picked up the Osmo Pocket 3 before my Pacific Northwest trip this fall, and it has become one of my favorite pieces of travel gear. The average traveler will be fine shooting video on a phone, but if you want something more capable, this is a strong option. It captures smooth, stabilized footage in a tiny, discreet form factor. Even as a longtime content creator, I still get self-conscious recording in public, but this little camera makes it much easier.
