The Ultimate Female Traveler Gift Guide

Everyone has a woman in their life that loves a bit of adventure. Whether she’s your wife, daughter, best friend, sister, or maybe you just want to treat yourself, here’s the ultimate travel gift guide for women for the holidays. In it, you’ll find ideas for Christmas stocking stuffers (perfect for carry-on travel!), tech gifts, luggage, beauty and skincare, and more – all perfect for her!

Stocking Stuffers

Mini Moisturizers

Every gal could use a good travel-size moisturizer, especially with how drying airplanes can be. Try the Watermelon Pink Juice Moisturizer Mini from Glow Recipe (bonus, it’s also super cute!) or this magical duo from Drunk Elephant. If you want a little bit of everything, check out this Airplane Mode Skincare Kit from Wander Beauty, which includes a mini cleanser, moisturizer, face oil, and face mist, as well as an eye mask, travel case, and some cute travel-themed patches!

PopSockets

Not only are PopSockets the best for holding your phone, they also make a great phone stand to watch movies on planes. Check out this Holographic Snakeskin PopSockets as the perfect stocking stuffer.

Travel Hair Brush

The Tangle Teezer Compact Styler is the perfect hair brush for travel, and the holographic chrome edition is especially cute as a gift.

Tech

Skyroam Solis

Wifi and phone service abroad can really be a struggle. The Skyroam Solis wifi hotspot is your best friend for always getting a signal and having worry-free travels. In their Skyroam Solis X model, it is also packed with features like a 4700 mAh power bank for a quick charge on-the-go and an app-controlled remote camera!

Noise Canceling Headphones

There is no travel investment I’ve appreciated more than my Bose QuietComfort 35 II noise cancelling bluetooth headphones. With all the travel on planes that I do, these are my best friend for long flights. The newest edition of these comes in a rose gold and has features such as Alexa voice control.

Instant Camera

Instant cameras are all the rage right now, and are super fun to bring on trips with you. Try the Kodak Printomatic, which is a digital camera that prints 2X3” photos, or the much beloved Fujifilm Instax. For the serious instant camera fan, try the Polaroid Originals OneStep 2 Viewfinder.

Portable Charger

I never leave the house without this Anker Portable Charger. It has so much juice that I can go several days without an outlet, which is especially useful on camping trips or when staying at hostels with limited plug options.

GoPro Hero 8

GoPro have really upped their game with the Hero 8. I was able to take amazingly smooth videos with it during my adventure trip to the Dominican Republic, and even underwater, the photo quality is fantastic. If you’re planning any adventure trips, the GoPro Hero 8 is the perfect gift.

Mavic Mini Drone

Take to the skies with the brand new Mavic Mini – the hottest new drone on the market! The DJI Mavic Mini weights under 250 grams with dimensions of 6.3 x 3.1 x 0.4 inches, making it small enough to throw in your purse for any adventure. This is the perfect starter drone for any new hobbyist or someone wanting a drone for their next vacation.

Beauty, Skin, and Hair Care

Travel Size Hair Tools

Get the Mighty Mini Jet Set Kit from Amika, complete with a mini hairdryer (with attachments!) and mini straightener in a cute print and a travel bag for them to go in. Amika also sells their Polished Perfection Straightening Brush in a travel size edition, which is super cool and perfect for your carry-on bag.

Lip Mask

No lie, I put this Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask on morning and night to prevent chapped lips during all my travels. Slap it on every night before you go to bed and your lips will never get dry! If you want it to go in a gift set, Laneige have released this Kiss Me at Midnight set for the holidays, or try their Hydration-To-Go! set that includes travel-size editions of all their popular products, including their Moisturizing Cream Cleanser, Water Bank Hydro Essence, Water Bank Moisture Cream, Water Sleeping Mask, and Lip Sleeping Mask.

Skincare Kit

Dubbed the Precious Cargo Kit, this is the ultimate skincare kit from Drunk Elephant, with travel-size versions of their most popular products, including the T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial, Virgin Marula Antioxidant Face Oil, Shaba Complex Firming Eye Serum, Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer, and Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser.

Foreo Luna Mini

The Foreo Luna Mini 2 is the perfect face cleansing device for travel. Your skin will love you for it.

Sleep Set

This Beauty Sleep Collection from Slip features a silk pillowcase and sleep mask so you can get more restful sleep and healthier skin and hair. Bonus: bring the eye mask on flights for the best sleep possible.

Travel

Carry-On Suitcase

Calpak regularly puts out some of the cutest suitcases I’ve ever seen. I’m currently in love with the Ambeur 22-Inch Rolling Spinner Carry-On, which is the rose gold carry-on suitcase of your dreams for an affordable price. It’s definitely an eye catcher!

Packing Cubes

Don’t worry, Calpak has your back with a matching rose gold 5-Piece Packing Cube Set, and it’s so shiny and beautiful! Not to mention practical. Packing cubes are one of my biggest tricks to an easier trip, and you might as well get ones that are cute. She’ll love you for it!

Laptop Backpack

The Calpak Kaya Laptop Backpack is the perfect stylish companion for any journey. The 15-inch size is great because it’ll fit almost any laptop, and it comes in several gorgeous color options.

Neck Pillow

The Trtl Pillow is my personal favorite option for sleeping on planes. It comes in lots of colors and packs down pretty small in your bag since it’s not stuffed. I love how much support it provides for my neck!

Passport Case

Every gal loves a good passport cover. Why not try this matching Anthropologie Luggage Tag & Passport Cover Set, or this classy Béis Passport Wallet, Pouch & Luggage Tag set.

Fashion

Stylish Camera Bag

Every traveling lady photographer wants a cute camera bag – it’s a fact! I love Gatta Bag, especially as they’re a small company founded by female travel blogger. If you’re looking for a backpack, try the Christie Tan. For a shoulder bag, the Camille Rosewood is adorable.

Going Places Watch

This Kate Spade Going Places watch is my absolute favorite watch and is perfect for any female traveler. The watch features a pink map of Europe against a dark blue background. And if you need something to go with it, this Kate Spade Manhattan Map Scarf is a super cute companion piece!

Travel Umbrella

Every traveler needs a good umbrella, so it might as well be this super cute Love is in the Air clear umbrella from Kate Spade that is ready for any Instagram shot.
