The traveler. Perhaps they’re the wanderlust type. Perhaps they travel for work. Either way, their gifts should be specific. Tailored to making life on the run a bit more comfortable, a bit less cluttered, and always add an element of pleasure to their banal everyday tasks (like keeping devices charged, packing, handling a passport, etc.) So let’s all check in, add that ticket to wallet, and hop on our flight to gifts travelers will love. Now boarding all groups.

The World's #1 Mobile Charger
No one’s thrilled about buying a wireless charger. But everyone’s thrilled when unboxing one. Specifically an Anker one. Specifically Anker’s latest one. It’s the world’s most compact 300W power. That’s like a 27-minute charging time for laptops. Plus, you can monitor and control this one from an app.

The Coolest Way to Pack a Suit
Packing is the second worst part of travel. Beaten only by unpacking. Hanger clothes are the real nightmare. But not anymore. This duffle makes it easy. Simply remove your hanger clothes from your closet and hook them into the Halfday Garment Duffel. Easy as that. Plus, there’s a bunch more space for other essentials.

A Dopp Kit Upgrade
The shampoo and condish. The face lotion and daily supplements. All the little daily essentials add up on away games. Which is why Cadence makes these minimal parcels to stash the non-negotiables. Just in a more handsome, more intentional way. Their Compact Set is the perfect way to introduce your fellow travelers to the system.

Passport Care
The luxury leather passport holder. A thing no one wants to buy but everyone kind of wants. It’s the kind of thing you throw in a cart once a year but never pull the trigger on. Which is why it’s the perfect gift. Plus, they’ll be forced to think of you any time they use their passport.

The Unlikely Travel Gift
Surprise! Soap. On a travel gift list. What the… ? We know. Sounds weird. But first, this French soap is unlike anything you ever smelled. It’s like a delicate layered French perfume, in soap form. And second, they come in these sturdy boxes that are great for travelers who like to jetset with their own bar of soap. We don’t leave home without one. Oh yeah, you can also put their initials on it.

A GMT, a Traveler's Best Friend
The GMT complication allows you to track two time zones at once. Extremely useful when traveling. You can set the GMT hand to your home time, while also setting the main hands to your current location. Vaer’s GMT? It’s one of the best finds for under $400. American assembled, adventure-ready, dive capable, and sized at 39mm which is a great fit for most wrists. Add the Pepsi dial and… Chef’s kiss. A traveler’s best friend for generations to come.

A Book on Their Next Destination
Where’s next for them? Get a travel book for wherever that answer is. But don’t just get whatever book you find first. Be intentional. If they’re foodies, get a food guide book. If they’re adventurer’s, find an adventure novel that takes place in the country they’re going to. Or if all else fails, just get them an old yellowed paperpack for the plane. You’ll never regret giving someone a book.
