While the payoff of traveling is pretty big, packing and planning for those adventures around the world can be tedious and stressful.
If you’re buying a gift for someone with an acute case of wanderlust, prioritize items that can make their travels easier and more relaxing. A Bluetooth tracker could offer some comfort if they lose their phone at the airport or leave it in an Uber. A special neck pillow could help facilitate some shuteye during a layover.
Whatever the travel ailment you’d like to soothe for them, they’ll appreciate one fewer item on their “to buy” list — mostly so they can get back to spontaneously booking Airbnbs.
Below, we’ve rounded up the best gifts for travelers who need smart, tech-savvy, and multi-functional gear that makes it easier to pursue their passions — or simply helps to consolidate to get that damn suitcase zippered. Bon voyage.
