The 15 Best Travel Gifts You Can Order on Amazon

Take a look at some of the best gifts on Amazon with your favorite traveler in mind.

Welcome to Hand-Picked, a curated series highlighting the travel gear and goods our staff truly love. From practical essentials to playful extras, these are the items that make travel fun—and shopping even better! Each pick is independently selected by our editors, and if you make a purchase through our links, Only In Your State may earn a commission.

My mom always said that you could never buy presents too early, especially with the holiday season on the horizon. I say, the sooner the better, and buying online, to me, is ideal. I am a busy single mom of two kids, so convenience is key. With a few clicks of the mouse, you can throw the perfect items for your friends, coworkers, and loved ones into a virtual cart, pay with your credit card, and sit back as the boxes, almost like magic, start appearing at your door or in your mailbox within days!

A gift wrapped in a map, tied with a pink ribbon, resting on a brown surface.

These days, most of us use Amazon for its convenience, deals, and hard-to-find items you most likely won’t find at brick-and-mortar stores. Whether you start your holiday shopping now or wait until somewhat last minute (but not too last minute, or you might not get what you ordered in time!), we are taking a bit of a headache out of the decision-making process and helping you out with some of our favorite travel products that make great holiday gifts. Here are some of the best gifts on Amazon with your favorite traveler in mind:

Best Gifts Under $25

A good gift doesn't have to be expensive, and luckily, there is an endless inventory of unique and useful travel gifts under $25 on Amazon. Whether it's a journal or an item that will make traveling easier, these inexpensive travel gifts are sure to delight the recipients.

1. Travel Journal

A beige travel journal with gold lettering, featuring photos of various travel destinations.

If you're anything like me, you document your travels. I can't tell you how many travel journals I have filled over the years — it's a lot! And yes, I am still delighted when someone gives me a brand-new travel journal as a Christmas gift. I revel in the excitement of travels I have not yet been on. Not only is a travel journal a must-have item for any traveler in your life, but it can also be a great source of inspiration to them.

What I like about this particular journal is that it's organized so that you can include 10 trips. There's also a keepsake pocket for each trip, where you can add ticket stubs, photos, and other memorabilia.

2. Luggage Travel Cup Holder Attachment for Suitcase

A black travel organizer attached to a suitcase, holding a water bottle, coffee cup, and a phone.

Nearly every time I'm at the airport for an early morning flight, I find myself wearily making my way to a coffee shop in the terminal for a caffeine fix. Almost always, I have a rolling carry-on with me. After getting my coffee, I have to hold it in one hand while rolling my luggage behind me. But how's this for convenience — a luggage travel cupholder for a suitcase ? To me, this is a game-changer! Not only can this handy item hold a coffee cup but also a water bottle, your phone, and even a tablet. I'll be adding this to my holiday wish list this year. How about you?

3. Scratch-Off Map of the United States

A family sits on the floor, engaging with a colorful map while pointing at different regions together.

If someone you know needs a visual to see how many states they've visited, then a scratch-off map is the perfect gift! Not only that, but it's incredibly satisfying to scratch off a destination after visiting. I have a scratch map and absolutely love seeing how many places I've visited and all the places I have yet to go. This U.S. scratch map by TRAVELISIMO comes with 25 accessories, including stickers and flags, and is conveniently packaged in a tube to prevent the map from getting wrinkled or damaged.

4. Lighted Compact Travel Mirror

A compact, white mirror with a sleek design, open to reveal a reflective surface and a small power button.

I've been looking all over for a compact mirror with lights that I can travel with, and I finally found it! This Lighted Travel Makeup Mirror is only 4x4.9 inches, so it can easily be stowed in a handbag or a makeup bag. It can also be magnified up to 10 times, has LED lights, and can be recharged with the included charger. How convenient!

Best Gifts Under $50

The next few items are among the best travel gifts from Amazon under $50. These gifts are still quite affordable for a nice present that's both useful and takes a bit of the headache and discomfort out of traveling.

5. Airplane Pocket Organizer

Black airplane seat pocket organizer holding a tablet, phone, sunglasses, and small bottle, with a logo at the top.

Whether you're on a short or a long-haul flight, organization is the key to comfort. I often find myself getting up to search my stowed carry-on for something I need, but I wouldn't need to do that if I had this Airplane Pocket Organizer . Just slip it over your seat's tray table and organize everything you need for your flight (i.e. phone, chapstick, earbuds, tablet, water bottle, etc.). It's also water-resistant and machine washable, so you can clean it between flights. Speaking of clean, this convenient item provides a clean space for working and eating since it slips easily over the tray table. This may be my new favorite travel item from Amazon.

6. Wayfarer Travel Wrap

A woman in a black top drapes a black shawl over her shoulders, smiling at the camera.

Of all the travel accessories I own, this Wayfarer Travel Wrap by Happyluxe, a small business that happens to sell on Amazon, is among my favorites. Made of TENCEL™ fabric, it's super soft and great for taking a nap on a plane or in a car on a long road trip. This 68-inch-by-35-inch wrap can be used as a shawl, a blanket, a poncho, or a scarf and comes in a variety of colors. Not only do I love its super soft feel, but its multiple functions. This is a must for any traveler!

7. Odyssey Travel Pillow

Black luxury comfort pillow with a white label, placed on a cozy blanket next to a coffee cup and a magazine.

The Odyssey Travel Pillow , also by Happyluxe, is soft, machine-washable, and perfect for any avid traveler. It can be used as a neck or head pillow for comfort. At 17-by-13 inches, it can be compressed for easy packing.

8. Wondery Original National Parks of the USA Bucket List Travel Water Bottle

A blue water bottle featuring national park designs alongside a sticker sheet of park illustrations and names.

I never knew I had water bottle envy until a friend of mine pulled out this water bottle. I was amazed! Like a scratch map, this  National Parks of the USA Bucket List Water Bottle  allows you to track the national parks you've visited. But instead of scratching them off, you'll add one of the included waterproof stickers. Pretty awesome, right? This water bottle is made by Wondery Outdoors, a small business led by women.

Best Gifts Under $100

If your gift-giving budget is a little higher, let's say for a child, a parent, or your favorite aunt or uncle, here are a few of the best travel gifts from Amazon that are under $100:

9. Travel Packing Cubes

A collection of colorful travel bags featuring national park designs: Arches, Yellowstone, Tetons, Yosemite, and Grand Canyon.

Packing cubes are another essential for any traveler in your life, and this set comes in a variety of colors and designs including U.S. National Parks. With seven compression cubes in the set, your favorite traveler's luggage will be well-organized.

10. Earbuds

A pair of black wireless earbuds with blue accents and ear hooks for a secure fit.

Tech is always a good gift to give during the holidays, especially something like new earbuds. Not as pricey as Apple AirPods but working just as well are these Soundcore Sport X20 Earbuds by Anker that cost under $100. Not only are they noise-canceling, waterproof, and sweatproof, but they can rotate and hook around the ear which prevents them from falling out. Any frequent flier would love these on a plane!

11. Carry on Travel Backpack

A black multifunctional backpack with multiple pockets and a USB charging port. Ideal for travel and outdoor use.

Enjoy both style and function with this roomy WITZMAN Carryon Travel Backpack . This great gift item is made with nylon fabric on the outside and has a black polyester lining along with decompression foam to keep electronics safe. With several pockets, you can pack your laptop, a tablet, and many other items for traveling. With a removable strap, it can even be converted into a duffle bag. Best of all, it has an external USB charger port and an internal charging cable to attach your own power bank for keeping your electronics charged at all times.

Best Stocking Stuffers

One of my favorite parts about Christmas morning is seeing what I got in my stocking. I love finding all sorts of wonderfully small gifts, don't you? If you're on the hunt for fun and functional travel-related stocking stuffers for family and friends, take a look at these:

12. International Travel Adapter

A blue universal travel adapter with multiple plug types and USB ports for charging devices.

If you know someone who travels internationally, this International Travel Adapter is a must-have. I used to carry around a bag of adapters and plugs in my luggage, but this is really all you need when traveling overseas. This is the only adapter I brought with me during my last trip to Europe, and my only regret is that I hadn't purchased it sooner. This adapter covers 160 countries, has four USB slots, a power range between 100V and 250V, and can charge up to five devices at once.

13. Charging Station for Multiple Apple Devices

A white charging station with three pads for devices and a power adapter connected.

If you know someone who owns Apple products like an iPhone, an iWatch, or AirPods, this  3-in-1 charging device  is the perfect stocking stuffer. It's foldable, portable, lightweight, and compact, making it ideal for travel .

14. National Parks Field Notes

Three Field Notes memo books featuring scenic designs: Acadia, Yosemite, and a colorful abstract landscape.

Do you know someone who loves visiting U.S. National Parks? Well, maybe they'd like a set of field notes in their stocking! Measuring 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches, they can easily be carried in a backpack or even a pocket. Each one has 48 pages and is covered in leather. There are also several national park field notes 3-packs to choose from, or you can order the entire collection!

15. TSA-Approved Toiletry Bottles

Four ribbed travel bottles in a clear zippered case, featuring pastel colors: peach, beige, and brown.

This highly-rated toiletry bottle set is TSA-approved, BPA-free, and leakproof. The squeezable bottles are made of silicone and come in a clear bag for easy packing. There's also a wide variety of colors to choose from for the perfect stocking stuffer.

Remember, the holidays will be here before you know it! We hope that this guide to the best gifts on Amazon helps make gift-giving a breeze this year.

Kizik Sneakers

White sneakers with black accents and a red logo, featuring a classic design and lace-up closure.

Why We Love Them : It's safe to say I am in my sneaker era and I know I'm not alone. When I discovered Kizik shoes , especially their sneakers, I felt like I discovered gold at the end of the rainbow. I love that the brand is size inclusive (I have big feet) and you literally just slip these on and go. Hands-free shoes!

A woman and a young girl smile for a selfie in front of a large, classical-style building on a sunny day.

Why We Love Them: I discovered Frankie Jean while in Austin with my daughter and once I saw the Y'ALL Baseball Cap , I knew it would make the perfect souvenir -- and travel hat! I always travel with a baseball hat; they're handy for post-plane hair and offer protection from the elements.

A pink audio player with orange knobs next to colorful cards titled "Around the World," "Dreams of the Forest," and "Earth!"

Vuori DreamKnit Performance Joggers

A person wearing green jogger pants and white sneakers, standing against a plain background.

Why We Love Them : The Vuori Performance Joggers might just be the most comfortable piece of clothing we own. The buttery-soft, stretchy material is the perfect weight, and the slim yet relaxed fit is one of the most universally flattering styles we've tried. Engagement Editor Meg Archer has gifted these to many people over the last few years: "I have yet to hear anything but rave reviews (and a bit of friendly shaming for spawning new obsessions). Don't be surprised if these just so happen to, umm... multiply ... in your closet. I couldn't stop at just one pair." Bonus: The matching Vuori Halo Performance Hoodie is one of our favorite lightweight layers for all types of travel ! Where To Buy Them : Buy Now From Vuori Price (at time of publication): $94

I've also used it as a carry-on bag on flights, to tote sports equipment around for my kids, and for a weekend getaway. It is much larger than it looks in this photo and keeps everything organized. It also wipes clean! Where to Buy Them : Calpak has countless travel bags, but you can find this particular one on their website . Price (at time of publication) : $131.75

Portable Hammock

A person relaxing in a hammock with bare feet visible, surrounded by greenery and a clear blue sky.

Why We Love Them : I've purchased two of these portable hammocks with lightweight frames throughout the years — one as a gift for my father and one for myself after realizing how fantastic the hammock was.

TOBIQ Colorado 30L

A colorful duffel bag with orange, yellow, teal, and black stripes, featuring multiple zippered compartments and a shoulder strap.

Why We Love It : It's taken several trips for me to figure out my perfect "weekender bag that's TSA approved," but I've found my perfect carry on with the TOBIQ Colorado 30L . An Instagram ad caught my eye during a late-night scroll session and I was intrigued by the colorful compartments and versatility of the bag, which can be carried as a duffle or as a backpack (I prefer the backpack for even weight distribution and airport navigation.) Made of durable, weather-resistant recycled materials, I've stashed this bag under my seat and in the overhead compartment; it's easy to maneuver and the top zip pocket is perfect for easy phone/ID access. Bonus: I loved this carry on bag so much, I purchased TOBIQ's Toiletry Bag ; it fits perfectly inside one of the Colorado's four compartments and has a smart, intuitive design with the brand's signature "plethora of zippered pouches and pockets."

A top view of a cosmetic bag with organized compartments containing beauty products and a hairbrush.

Patagonia Women's Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket

A person wearing glasses and a red jacket sits by an airplane window, smiling with earbuds in.

Why I Love It : This raincoat is absolutely perfect: it's light (12.4 ounces!) and super packable, "self stuffing" into one of its pockets in a Houdini-like feat. The hood is generously sized to fit over a hat and has a cord-and-hook design that keeps rain out (seriously -- this photo was taken after a trip to Portland, Oregon, where its water resistance was put to the test!). I purchased my Torrentshell five years ago and it still looks brand new, the fabric has never snagged or ripped despite being put through the ringer! Bonus : The Patagonia Torrentshell 3L Rain Jacket comes in men's sizes, too! Where to Buy It : Buy it now on REI . Price (at time of publication) : $179 (both men's and women's)

Walk With Me New York Photograph Book

A book open to a page featuring a floral design shop and a charming building with autumn foliage outside.

Why We Love Them : I love gifting books. Maybe it's the writer in me or the nostalgia I feel every time I sit down and open up an actual book. Coffee table books make for great gifts and I absolutely love this collection of photography of New York City . Whether you know someone who loves NYC or has a wanderlust for the Big Apple, this gorgeous book just needs a bow on top and it's ready to gift. Where to Buy Them : Buy this book and others in the collection on Amazon . Price (at time of publication) : $19.78

OluKai Pehuea Lī Sneaker

A person wearing casual gray sneakers and light blue jeans, standing on a neutral background.

It's our go-to shoe when we know we're going to be on our feet all day! We love that they can be worn as either sneakers or slides, so they're easy to slip off when going through TSA checks. Plus, the style goes with just about everything. Where To Buy Them : Buy Now From OluKai Price (at time of publication): $110

BioRepublic Lost Baggage Under Eye Emergency Repair Mask

A package of BioRepublic Lost Baggage under-eye masks, featuring a blue design and claims of hydration and repair.

Why I Love It: Fact: Airplanes are notoriously dry, dry, dry. No matter how much water I drink both before and during the flight, I always find myself in a hydration deficit for days. My skin feels so tight and parched during flights, and while I've been known to slap on a sheet mask at 12,000 feet, my 11 year old's mortification on a recent trip had me rethinking this strategy. My solution? BioRepublic's Lost Baggage biocellulose eye masks . These mini moisturizers contain an uber-hydrating cocktail of peptides, hyaluronic acid, squalene, rose water, and vitamin E that feel oh-so-refreshing on parched skin. Bonus: Each of these little masks has enough moisture that I'm able to massage the excess into the rest of my face after my brief, in-flight spa moment. Where to Buy It : I have a BioRepublic Lost Baggage Under Eye Emergency Repair Mask Subscribe & Save order through Amazon -- you'll get a slight discount if you set this up! Price (at time of publication) : 3/$15.00

Hydaway Collapsible Water Bottle

A collapsible purple water bottle with a white lid, labeled "HYDAWAY," next to its rolled-up version.

Why I Love It : I am a dedicated Stanley girl, but when I travel, I like to keep things as light and portable as possible. A recent trip to Washington D.C. had me singing the praises of my Hydaway Collapsible Water Bottle , especially after paying $6 for a tiny bottle of water the afternoon we arrived and embarked sans water. I love the bottle's muted color options (I have the Hydaway in Twilight), sturdy handle, and fuss-free cleaning; fully extended it holds 17 ounces of water, making this smart little number perfect for filling up on the go. Where to Buy Them : The Hydaway Collapsible Water Bottle is available at several online merchants; I purchased through REI. Available here on Amazon . Price (at time of publication) : $27.95.

Packing Cubes

A collection of beige travel packing cubes and bags, including various sizes and a clear pouch for organization.

Why We Love Them : This is one of those things that we don't know how we traveled without them. Packing cubes keep things organized, save space in a suitcase, and take the pain out of the packing process. If you know and love someone who travels, this set would make the perfect gift. Where to Buy Them : There are so many options for packing cubes on Amazon, but we particularly LOVE this set . Price (at time of publication) : $16.99 for 8 cubes

Bei s Backpack

A person wearing a blue sweatshirt holds a green backpack against a textured wall.

Why We Love Them : I've been a fan of Beis for years now, starting with the Weekender (it’s my absolute favorite travel bag for short car trips or flying and is surprisingly roomy). I recently purchased another Beis item — the backpack. With a padded interior sleeve, two water bottle pockets, and plenty of organization built-in — we’re talking zippered interior pockets, pen slots, a key leash, and more — this is the best backpack I’ve ever owned . It also has a full-zip opening, so it’s easy to pack, and the trolley pass-through makes it the perfect carry-on companion. This olive beauty is officially my new favorite personal item while traveling, and I’ve already brought it on several trips.  Where to Buy Them : Buy Now On Beis Price (at time of publication) : $88

Accessory Organizers

A gray organizer with clear pockets next to a colorful quilt featuring festive patterns on a striped rug.

Why We Love Them : We bought this set of two accessory organizers for a recent trip and think they would make a fun stocking stuffer filled with all sorts of small and useful travel goodies — chapstick, hair ties, mini lotions, bandaids, etc. The gift recipient can then use the organizers for travel. Where to Buy Them : Buy Now On Amazon Price (at time of publication) : $17.66

Away Everywhere Zip Backpack

A navy backpack open to reveal a laptop, notebooks, a water bottle, and various accessories inside.

Why We Love It: The sleek style of the Away Everywhere Zip Backpack looks at home in just about any environment, making it a great transition bag if you need to hop right from a flight into a work meeting (or want to start exploring as soon as you land). It's water-resistant, has a padded laptop sleeve to keep your devices safe, and the full wrap-around zipper makes it incredibly easy to grab what you need in a cramped airplane seat. I love it! Where To Buy It: Buy Now From Away Price (at time of publication) : $195

Sterling Pacific 40L Cabin Travel Case

A silver suitcase on wheels in a hotel hallway with elevators in the background.

Why We Love It: Engagement Editor Meg Archer recently travel-tested this high-end aluminum travel case, and it can only be described as the Lamborghini of Luggage: "The Sterling Pacific 40L Travel Case is hands down the best I've ever owned or reviewed. It's stunning inside and out, timelessly stylish, and rolls like a dream. Honestly, I didn't know luggage could move like this." It's undeniably a splurge, but if you're looking for a piece of eye-catching yet understated luxury-tier luggage, this is it. Where To Buy It : Buy Now From Sterling Pacific Price (at time of publication): $2,150

Anker Power Bank Portable Generator

A portable power station with a digital display, USB ports, and a sleek design, placed on a wooden floor.

Why We Love It : Throw out all your assumptions about generators. The Anker Power Bank Portable Generator is all-electric (so it's totally silent), super compact, and has a massive 60,000 mAh capacity that can power multiple devices dozens of times on a single charge. It also retains an impressive 85% charge after a whole year of non-use, making it absolutely vital during emergencies. This bad boy kept us in touch with family during a multi-day blackout, but we also love it for camping trips and off-grid adventures. Where To Buy It: Buy Now On Amazon Price (at time of publication) : $149.99

Dockside Boat & Bed

A bed and breakfast on boats.

Staycation is a beautiful 48' Meridian motor yacht located at the end of our dock with sweeping views of the marina, Queen Mary, Light House and Shoreline Village. 

Upon entering thru the mid-deck, you descend into the spacious and well appointed salon with double windows stretching the length of the room to allow for plenty of sunlight and for showcasing the magnificent views. With two large couches , there is plenty of space to relax and enjoy the DirectTV.  The entire boat also features central climate control.  

The galley kitchen is just 2 steps down from the salon with a fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster and coffee maker.  The galley is also appointed with glasses, dishware and silverware for your use.  Forward of the galley is the very comfortable guest suite with queen bed and it's own bathroom with bathroom and shower. 

The primary bedroom in the rear of the yacht features a queen size walk around bed, ample closet storage and its own en-suite bathroom and shower.  The primary also enjoys access to the rear aft deck- a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee while you take in the views.  

The Staycation also enjoys plenty of outdoor space.  The mid-deck features a wet bar and seating for 4. The upper fly bridge offers the best views of the area with plenty of seating for 6.  Then there is also the rear open air deck off the master.  

Sleeps up to 4 guests 

All rates are for 2 guests, additional guests (unless children 5 or younger) are $25 ea.  Please note, unless otherwise requested, our staff only prepares the primary stateroom for 2 guests.

I had a wonderful experience staying on the Minnow! The boat was pristine and well appointed. The harbor is secure, and my sister and I felt very safe during our stay. Shaun is a consummate professional. She was happy to answer my many questions and provide recommendations on what to do in the area. There are a ton of Shelter Island restaurants and bars within walking distance of the harbor. This was hands down a fantastic, restorative experience. Nothing says vacation like waking up on the water with beautiful views of the ocean surrounding you. I will definitely be back to stay with BoatBnB again!

We stayed with Boat BNB twice, and both times for a week. First time on General Yacht and recently on Goode Karma. I will add some pictures below. My bestie and I love to be on a water and living in hot Vegas it's really dreamy to us. Both boats were about 52 ft, 3 BD, 2BTH. Both decks have the most amazing views. Shaun is such pleasure to work with! Overall, super friendly staff, very clean, fantastic location with yummy restaurants around. Looking forward to rent it again. Thank you, BOATBNB!

This gem of a find fulfilled my fantasy of staying on a luxury sailboat with my beautiful wife (alas without bikini) overnight. Best $250 I ever spent. Get a look at the view from the back bedroom rear porthole windows!! I love the look of varnished wood throughout, and the layout inside was hugh. I would buy this in a heartbeat if God granted me the money to do so. Did you know Hollywood used the Slipaway in a full length movie?

Stayed on the Why Knot last year and was Not disappointed. The boat was clean and stocked with breakfast goodies. The outdoor furniture provided gave us a comfortable area to relax and enjoy the ocean air and boat living experience. We will definitely be back again!

Such a relaxing time on a very nice boat. The BnB was really nicely prepared and provided more than we expected. It was in a great location to amazing restaurants and of course a great city. would highly recommend staying here as we will be back!!

We stayed on the Minnow for 3 nights and had a amazing adventure. The boat was immaculate, the beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped and the furnishings made for a relaxing experience. Shaun was great to work with when booking and checking onto the boat. We have already booked another stay for the near future. We were able to see all 8 boats while we were in San Diego and they were all beautiful, clean and well maintained.

Wonderful getaway experience - better than any waterfront hotel or condo. The boats are in perfect condition, the amenities are first class, from immaculate linens to fresh fruit baskets. Everything about the experience was positive - location is in a secure harbor with free parking surrounded by beautiful watercraft, clean ocean water, shore birds, views of the San Diego skyline. The Staff is knowledgeable and expert, knowing how to take care of both the boats and the guests. Nearby neighborhood gourmet restaurants and ocean front walks along the adjacent shoreline. Compared to an onshore hotel, this is waterfront living (for a getaway experience) at its very best.

So much fun! I wish they were in Florida so we could do it when we travel there. You won't be disappointed. we stayed 4th of July and they fireworks were shot off right next to us. so fun!

Great time. This was our second time staying on the same boat. Perfect location to beach, restaurants and bars. Shaun is an excellent host and is a broker if you need a boat! Nice touch with fresh orange juice and fruit for our stay.
