Gifts or Stocking Stuffers for the Travelers on Your List

As I get older I do my best to give gifts that have sentimental value or are useful. In a world where the average person continues to accumulate more and more nonessentials or has everything it makes it difficult to determine what to gift someone.  I know I fit in this bucket and I am trying my hardest to ensure I only have the items I need or deem functional.

​As an avid traveler, anything that can help make my travel experience better is a gift I appreciate.  If you have someone on your list who is a wanderluster at heart I have some affordable gift ideas that will surely not get tossed in the donation box or gifted forward.  

iWalk Compact Portable Charger 

​I had tons of portable chargers but I got rid of all of them because they were either too large or they didn’t really work all to well.  Except for the iWALK Small Portable Charger 4500mAh Ultra-Compact Power Bank – this one, I kept. First you don’t need a charger cord to use it. It connects directly to your phone.  That in itself makes it better than the rest. Gone are the days of walking around with an extra battery in my purse and a cord sticking out of my bag connected to my phone.  Secondly, it’s the size of a lipstick so I can easily fit it in to my small cross body bags or pocket.  Lastly, it comes in a a variety of colors so you can find one that speaks to your style.  The one I have works with an Iphone 8 all the way up to an Iphone 14.  There is also a version of it that is compatible with the Samsung Galaxy.  Best of all it retails for $29.99.  When you divide that by the number of times it will get used and your loved one will be able to continue taking their pictures its well worth the cost.  

riemot Luggage Travel Cup Holder/Caddy  ​

This is one of the best purchases I have made in a long time.  Behold for the coolest and most functional travel gadget!! Ok picture this.....you are walking or running (if you are perpetually late) through the airport. You are pulling or pushing your luggage with one hand and trying to juggle your phone, your drink and any other item you may be carrying with the other.   Can you see it?  Has this happened to you?
​Don't you wish you had a place to put that phone and drink where they could both be easily accessible? Well, let me introduce you to the Riemot Luggage Drink Caddy! It fits onto your suitcase handles and provides immediate convenience with three pockets - two for drinks and one for your phone. You can attach it to the front of the suitcase handles or the back leaving your hands completely free.  It's a GAME CHANGER!!
This is the perfect gift for someone who travels a lot, flight attendants, business professionals or parents with kids. I use mine all the time now and it has a permanent place in my suitcase so I never forget it. 

LC-dolida 3D Sleep Bluetooth Headphones and Eye Mask 

I am a HUGE advocate of sleep. As someone who struggles with seizures, lack of sleep can trigger episodes and can be the difference between a great trip and being out of commission for several days.
Unfortunately, travel isn’t conducive for sleep at times. Time changes, new locations, street noise from outside, loud bars nearby, and uncomfortable overnight journeys are likely to set back any travelers a few hours of rest. My best advice is to pack some ear plugs and a sleep mask in your bag to help improve your sleep. I’ve been using the LC-dolida Sleep Wireless Headphones and Eye Mask to block out light and listen to my meditations while I sleep.  And I LOVE them.  The headphones lay flat so you can use comfortably while sleeping (especially if you are a side sleeper) and on airplanes while traveling. In addition to having built-in headphones they also serve as an eye mask that block out light.   If you use them to listen to music while you sleep the play time is 8 to 10 hours.  You can then recharge and use again the next night.  These go with me everywhere and I use them at home as well.  

Dock & Bay Quick Drying Towels 

I am one who believes you should always have a towel on hand or in your suitcase.  I have been in too many situations where I could have used one and didn’t have it so now I make sure to have it.  I also need it to be packable and not take up too much space.  This is why I I have quick drying towels.

​The Dock & Bay Quick Drying towels are compact, lightweight, dry quick and super absorbent. They are awesome for beach trips, road trips and/or camping.  I use them to dry my hair while traveling or as an extra towel for my cruise or beach trips.  They come in an assortment of colors, patterns and come in a pouch and honestly for less than $8 your gift is guaranteed to be a hit.  I promise you it will get plenty of use – both abroad and at home.  

Portable Mini Refillable Perfume Atomizer Bottles  

​ I love love love this!! I only travel with a carry on and for years I have struggled with how to take my favorite perfumes with me on my travels for fear of TSA throwing out my not so cheap fragrances---- until now. 
This is a travel essential. Simple and convenient, this travel size bottle is super easy to refill and does not leak.   Just press the bottom against your favorite gauge and keep clicking until its refilled.  There is also a clear vial inside so you can easily see how much perfume remains.  I promise you will get at a minimum at least 70 sprays from just one refill. Its lightweight and will easily fit in your toiletry bag or purse.  What’s even more amazing is the price.  For less than $10 you will get 4 vials so you can gift all 4 to one person or share them amongst your friends and/or family.
