Travel Sticky Notes
These travel sticky notes are perfect stocking stuffer for the person who works hard at their office job to save up for trips. Help your friends have a work space that reflects their passion for travel!
Ear Buds
Apple ear buds are all the rage these days, and it’s easy to see why. These cordless headphones deliver seamless connection to your devices. You don’t have to worry about tangled up headphones again, and you don’t have to pull out your device every time you want to change the song or answer the phone, because the ear buds are tap activated! They also come in a sleek charging case, so they won’t get lost in your carry-on bag. Ear Buds are not only fantastic stocking stuffers for travelers, but a great nicer gift you could give anyone in your life.
Burt’s Bees Gift Set
Flying is dehydrating to your body. Long haul flights can leave you with dry hands and chapped lips. I always travel with Burt’s Bees products to avoid these uncomfortable side effects. Get your frequent flyer a gift set so they can try out a few of Burt’s Bees natural, nutrient rich products on their next flight! Throw in some Burt’s Bees face masks too for the person who likes extra pampering.
Tide Travel Sink Packets
Doing laundry abroad can be a hassle, because a lot of places do not offer laundry services on site. With Tide Travel Sink Packets, you can do your laundry anywhere you have a sink! I was able to just travel with a carry-on bag on my last international trip by doing my laundry in the hotel room sink.
Snacks From Around the World
It’s fun to eat treats from the places you dream of visiting or to reminisce about some of your favorite destinations. With this international snack sampler, you can try all sorts of new treats from around the world! If you have a Cost Plus World Market store near you, they are also a great resource for treats from around the world!
Carry-On Cocktail Kit
Everyone on the plane will be jealous when they’re sipping on their boring drinks and your friend whips out the carry-on cocktail kit you bought them. The Cocktail Box Company makes 4 cocktail kits: Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Champagne Cocktail, and Gin & Tonic.

Instant Bag Hanger
When I first saw these at a gift shop in Portugal, I wasn’t sure what it was. The Instant Bag Hanger is a clip that uses one end to hook onto a surface and the other end to hang your bag, so it doesn’t have to sit on a nasty floor. I HATE when I go to a public restroom and the door doesn’t have a hook on the back for me to put my backpack or purse. With this gadget, you always have a hook to hang your backpack, camera gear, or purse. These are simple and effective and make for wonderful stocking stuffers for travelers – men and women alike!
Luggage Tags
I love looking at people’s fun luggage tags at airports. Why not get your traveler a set that reflects their personality? Whether they love Harry Potter, are a Star Wars fanatic, or prefer a more sleek look, there is something for everyone.
A High Quality Sleep Mask
More and more people are upgrading from basic, flimsy eye masks to higher quality ones that provide maximum comfort. This sleep mask from MZOO is specially designed out of memory foam, does not put pressure on your eyes, and contours around your nose for comfort and to better block out light. On my last flight, I struggled to sleep while the lady beside me had on this exact eye mask and slept the entire 8 hour flight!
Door Stop Security Alarm
Nobody wants to think about the possibility of getting robbed when they’re traveling. However the fact of the matter is, it could happen no matter where you are in the world. This wedge door stop security alarm is designed to fit under the door like a regular doorstop. If someone tries to open the door, an incredibly loud alarm will sound, hopefully waking you up and scaring off the intruder in the process.
Travel Journal
I’m a sucker for anything with an old world map on it, and this journal is no exception! Your traveler is sure to be inspired when they use it to plan their trips or write about their experiences.
Worldwide Universal Travel Adapter
We just recently upgraded from a clunky, awkward travel adapter to this one. I love that it has 2 USB ports, is lightweight, and can be used in over 150 countries. This is one of the best stocking stuffers for travelers, because you almost always need one when you visit another country!
Passport Cover
This is another gift that has lots of style options. You can get customizable covers with travel quotes on them, ones made of genuine leather, designer names, or more intricately designed ones that your friends will impress anyone who sees it.
Travel Games
Games are fun for any sort of traveler. They can be played as a family, by yourself on a long layover or flight, or in the backseat on a road trip. In an age where everyone is on their cellphones, games like these are a fun way to get people interacting with each other!
