‘Tis the season of giving! As I have gotten older, I tend to gift more functional and meaningful items. Here’s my curated holiday gift guide for my fellow functional gift givers who are on a budget. It includes my favorite Amazon finds under $25 that will keep travel lovers organized, safe, comfortable, plugged in, and will help them preserve memories while traveling.
travelOrganized
An organized travel bag makes for a pleasant travel experience.
Electronics Accessories Case– Travelers often have multiple cords with them. An electronic accessories case helps keep all of your essential tech items organized.
RFID Travel Wallet– Keep all your money, and important documents like passport, boarding passes, and tickets secure in a travel wallet that blocks against RFID.
Travel Toiletry Bottles– Organize your toiletries in TSA approved bottles.
Travel Toiletry Bag– Keep all of your toiletries together.
Packing Cubes– One thing I never leave the country without are my packing cubes. Seriously, every traveler should have some! They will keep your luggage neat and helps to conserve space.
Luggage Tags– Good for quick identification of luggage at baggage claim.
Shoe Bags– Store your shoes without getting your other belongings dirty.
travelSafety
Keep yourself and your belongings safe with the following items:
TSA Luggage Lock– Helps to secure luggage and provide a peace of mind while traveling.
Money Belt– Commonly used to discreetly store your cash, cards, and passport.
Cross body Satchel– A cross body satchel is my preferred bag of choice while traveling because my belongings are secured. For extra protection, I tend to wear my bag with the flap side facing inside.
Undercover Bra Pouch– A discreet solution to keeping cards and cash out of sight.
Personal Security Door stopper– Great gift for solo travelers looking to secure rooms from unauthorized entry.
Infinity Scarf with hidden pouch– Another discreet way of securing belongings like passport, credit cards, and cash.
travelComfort
Essentials to keep you comfortable while traveling:
Neck pillow, sleep mask, and earplugs set– This set is filled with items to traveling comfortably, especially if you are a sensitive sleeper.
Travel compression socks– Extremely necessary, particularly for long flights. Compression socks help to increase blood circulation and reduce the risk of swelling.
Portable travel foot rest– easy to use travel foot rest that can be used on the train, plane, and bus.
3D Eye Mask– If traditional eye masks aren’t cutting it for you, 3D masks may be a better fit because your eyes won’t touch the fabric.
travelTech
Electronic essentials needed during travel:
Universal Travel Adapter– Compact travel adapter that covers more than 150 countries.
Universal Travel Adapter (multi)– Useful for charging multiple electronics at a time.
Portable Charger– Taking photos sure does drain a battery. I love the convenient size of this necessary travel item.
Luggage Scale– Great for those who tend to overpack and want to avoid extra luggage fees.
travelMemories
Scratch off Travel Map– Fun way to keep record of travels.
Travel Journal– Compact journal to record memories while on the road.
Anywhere Travel Guide– A creative travel guide that works for anywhere.
Ticket Stub Diary– Store travel mementos in this ticket stub diary.
