Best gifts for women who travel, part I
Aerie Superchill seamless padded bralette | Because wearing underwire on a 6-hour flight should not be a thing.
18-pack travel bottles for toiletries | TSA-approved so your well-traveled woman can be sure she won’t need to throw anything away at security.
Luka duffel in chocolate | Stylish, spacious, separate shoe compartment… what more could a girl want from a duffel bag? It’s worth noting, this bag can be used as a carry-on, overnight bag, gym bag, or just an everyday bag.
Summer Fridays jet lag hydration mist | Because nothing dehydrates your skin like airplane air.
Beats noise-canceling headphones in rose gold | Perfect for drowning out the noise around you and enjoying your flight or drive to whatever fabulous location she’s jetting off to.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite | I’m obsessed with my Kindle, and this is not an exaggeration. It’s the perfect companion on long drives, flights, train rides (all of which I’ve used it on, btw), and it’s the perfect gift for any woman who travels.
If you want to go above and beyond, you can also give the gift of Kindle Unlimited. This is a great gift addition that gives you unlimited access to over 4 million digital books, listen to thousands of audio books, and magazine subscriptions.
4 piece toothbrush holder | Carries your toothbrush, toothpaste, and the holder even doubles as a mouth wash cup.
Neutrogena makeup removing wipes | I love these for wiping off your makeup on overnight flights; they’re quick and easy to use, and ensure you go to sleep with clean skin to avoid break outs.
Portable charger power bank | This portable charger comes in a variety of colors and can charge 5 smart devices at once, including Samsung, Android, iPhone, and tablets. I love that it has a built in chord for its own charging, that way you don’t need to bring an extra chord if the power bank runs low.
COSRX Snail Korean skincare | This 4-step snail mucin skincare routine is travel size, and perfect for combatting dry, dehydrated skin while traveling. I’ve used the snail mucin power essence that comes in this kit, and absolutely loved it! It made my skin look so healthy and bouncy.
Hanging toiletry bag | A water-resistant toiletry organize is perfect for the woman who travels with all her beauty favorites, full-sized. I love that it has elastic straps for holding bottles (like your shampoo!) upright, and a versatile hanger that lets you hang your organizer up pretty much anywhere.
Best gifts for women who travel, part II
Grace & Stella gold under eye mask | Taking a red-eye flight should not have to mean you’re stuck with puffy eyes, too. Use these gold under eye gel patches to fight puffy eyes and dark circles.
Portable contact lens and glasses case | My biggest fear when traveling is either losing my contacts or my glasses. This dual-use case is perfect for keeping them together so you have them in one place at all times.
Leak-proof TSA-approved toiletry containers | Because the last thing you need on a trip is your shampoo leaking out into your suitcase full of your favorite clothes.
Compact 0.8″ travel flat iron | Fixed at 410 degrees F for all hair types, this compact travel iron has heat resistant cap covers so you don’t have to worry about throwing it in your suitcase after using. Plus, it has 1-hour auto-off so you can style your hair stress-free.
2-in-1 airplane blanket and pillow | Use it as a pillow or a cozy blanket that’s big enough for you and a friend to stay warm on a chilly flight. It easily attaches to any suitcase or travel bag, so you can carry it around hands-free.
Rael organic cotton body wipes | Nobody likes feeling gross or sweaty after a long drive or flight. Organic cotton body wipes are an easy, quick way to freshen up after traveling.
Silicone makeup brush holder | Use this to hold up to 14 makeup brushes, or your favorite makeup essentials. The added magnetic clasp ensures nothing falls out, and the insides can even double as a makeup brush cleaning pad.
Silicone luggage tags | These stain-resistant luggage tags come in a variety of colors for easy identification, and each one includes an insert card.
Fresh milk hydrating hand cream | This hand cream is small enough to fit in your carry-on (at 1.6 ounces), and is great for combatting dry skin on your flight or travels. Marked “Clean” at Sephora.
Summer Fridays lip butter balm | If you’re out there getting on a flight without your go-to lip balm, I need to know how you’re still alive.
Small hanging toiletry bag in blue | This hanging toiletry bag isn’t as spacious as the previous one in this post, but might be a good fit for anyone who doesn’t need as much space in their toiletry bag.
Leather RFID blocking passport holder | Made with 100% top grain nappa leather, this passport holder ensures security by blocking unauthorized access to your personal information stored on cards and passports with RFID chips. It has 3 pockets – 1 for your passport, and 2 for cash or travel documents.
Commuter backpack | This water-resistant backpack holds your water bottle, laptop (up to 15″), your book, Kindle, change of clothes, etc. up to 19L. It even has a sleeve on the back that can slide over the handle of your roller luggage, and comes in a few different colors.
Gifts for women who travel, part III
Clothes steamer | Because pulling out your clothes from your luggage and finding them wrinkly af is a big bummer. Heats up in 15 seconds and gives 10 minutes of continuous steam, so your outfits will be ready faster than you are.
Novel duffel bag | This beautiful duffel bag is the perfect gift for any woman who travels a lot, and I love the separate shoe compartment underneath.
Daily pill organizer | Because hot girls take their vitamins and meds.
Clean/dirty packing cube | I always pack a few plastic grocery bags to keep my dirty clothes in on a trip, but this convenient packing cube with a separation sleeve is much cuter and less wasteful.
Neck brace pillow | This neck brace pillow is great no matter what angle you put your head while you sleep – front, side, or a combo of both. My favorite part is the flat back, so the pillow doesn’t force your head to lean forward. You can also adjust the tightness/looseness of the way it wraps around your neck so you’ll always be comfy.
Lululemon Everywhere belt bag | Water-repellent, super cute, and with a zipper close to your body to put your cash or card. I don’t know why Lululemon can’t just call this a fanny pack though. This belt bag is most definitely a fanny pack, but whatevs.
Apple Airpods case | Flexible, shock-resistant silicone material to protect your Airpods and comes in tons of pretty colors.
Sleep eye mask with 3D eye contour – I looove my 3D eye contour sleep mask. I sleep with it every night, and make sure to bring it on all my overnight flights. I like that it doesn’t squish my eyelashes while I rest, but it does a great job of blocking out the light.
Compression packing cubes | These packing cubes include 1 shoe bag, 2 small bags, 2 medium bags, and 1 large bags, so you can be sure your traveling loved one has plenty of compartments to organize all her traveling essentials.
Bombas compression socks | Compression socks help increase circulation in your legs, so these might be a good option for anyone who takes long, frequent flights.
21-inch carry on roller | This roller has a 2 inch expansion option to make extra room if you need it. It features dual-compartment interior with zip pockets and compression straps so you can stay organized. It also has two drawstring pouches to keep your dirty clothes in or to store your smaller items.

Final thoughts on gifts for women who travel often
I hope you found plenty of good gift ideas for the woman in your life who’s always on the go! Convenience and comfort are usually the two biggest things I like to keep in mind when shopping for my friends who travel a lot, but there are other things to consider too! Sometimes, when you travel all the time and live out of a duffel bag or carry on, you want things to feel a little more special. You want to feel pretty and luxurious as best you can, despite always being on the go.
That’s why I try to pick out items that aren’t just functional, but also pretty to look at. Our beloved traveling friends and family members deserve to feel special, and even if not everything can be beautiful, there’s nothing wrong with a little pampering 😉
Happy shopping, my friend! I hope you enjoyed this post and got some good gift ideas. You can also shop my other gift guides below 🙂
