    31 Practical Gifts For That Person Who Is Somehow Always On Vacation

    A luggage scale, packing cubes, in-flight essentials, and more.

    1. A set of packing cubes that'll help them get organized for their next getaway. Not only will they help shrink down bulkier items, but they can also be used to separate their clean clothes from their dirty stuff.

    2. A large Everywhere Belt Bag from lululemon so they can keep their essentials close when they're at the airport or on outings. It has both exterior and interior pockets and, as an added bonus, it's waterproof.

    3. A passport cover if they've travelled so much their passport probably needs this to survive another trip. Inside there's space for four cards, as well as a zippered coin pouch for all their loonies, pence, and yen.

    4. A hanging luggage scale that'll help them pack like a pro (and skip being faced with extra charges when they get to the airport). It's small enough to fit in their backpack or carry-on bag, so they can bring it with them on their adventures, too.

    5. A Barefoot Dreams set that'll keep them cozy whether they're playing passenger on a plane, train, or automobile. The fluffy pouch comes stuffed with an equally-soft scrunchie, eye mask, and pair of socks.

    6. A crushproof watch case that'll keep their favourite accessory safe from scuffs and scratches. It has cushioned lining inside and comes with a microfibre polishing cloth that'll make their timepiece sparkle.

    7. A Kindle Oasis so they can download their reading material before they get to the airport, instead of filling their overstuffed duffle with books. They can even adjust the brightness when the lights dim, so they won't have to turn on the overheads and bug their snoozing seat mates.

    8. A toiletry tote that they can fold out to reveal all their perfectly-organized lotions, potions, and tools. Now they won't have to go digging around their suitcase to find all the products for their 12-step skincare routine.

    9. A tube of the cult-favourite Summer Fridays Jet Lag mask that'll be their BFF after a long car ride or flight. It's packed with tons of good-for-skin ingredients, including a healthy dose of hyaluronic acid to bring some moisture back into their ~visage~.

    10. A Moleskine travel journal they can use to plan their next trip and jot down all their thoughts. It's broken into three sections: short trips, long trips, and travel memories & wish list.

    11. A pack of mini Poo-Pourri sprays to save them from awkward in-flight bathroom encounters. It'll also leave the cabin loo smelling fresher than ever, so the next person to use it will be oh-so thankful.

    12. A travel shoe cleaning kit if they take their sneaker maintenance seriously. Inside the zippered pouch they'll find travel-sized shoe cleaner, a mini brush, a microfibre towel, and three touch-up wipes for minor scuffs 'n' stains.

    13. A copy of She Explores that'll inspire them to start planning their next grand adventure. It features a mix of travel photography and stories from inspiring women who have hiked tough trails, lived in vans, climbed mountains, and more.

    14. A portable door lock that won't require any tools to install and will make them feel safer in their hotel room. Reviewers love that it adds an extra layer of security and say that it's a breeze to use.

    15. A Bluetooth headphone headband that can double as an eye mask, so they can block out both sound and light while they catch some z's (perfect for both airports and airplanes). Reviewers say it's super comfortable and love using it during long-haul flights.

    16. A leather jewellery case that'll keep their bling tangle-free. Along with hooks for earrings, slots for rings, and compartments for statement pieces, it has a mirror so they can check themself out.

    17. A set of Our Place glass containers so they can bring their own in-flight snacks instead of suffering through a microwave meal. It comes in a set of three, so they can separate their savoury bites from their sweet treats.

    18. A copy of Mario Kart Uno that they can play while they wait to baord. It follows the same rules as the traditional game, but features Peach, Mario, Luigi, and the rest of the gang.

    19. Or this Monopoly Deal card game that'll allow them to go head-to-head, whenever, wherever. It has all the fun of the full-sized game, but only takes about 15 minutes to play.

    20. A carry-on bag from Monos because they've been using the same busted piece of luggage forever and could seriously use an upgrade. Some of its best features are the 360-degree wheels, built-in compression pad, and two shoe bags that'll keep their kicks from stinking up the rest of their stuff.

    21. A portable charger so they can juice up their gadgets when they're sightseeing (because obvi, they're gonna forget to charge 'em overnight). It has an LCD display that'll show how much battery the pack has left, so they'll know when it's time for a recharge.

    Three phones plugged into the charger

    22. A family travel wallet if they rarely head abroad on their own. The zippered pouch has a pocket for cash, a flap for their travel doc, slots for four cards, and four passport sleeves.

    23. An adjustable travel pillow that they can twist into any shape. It's made of soft, breathable fabric and has a memory foam core that'll keep them comfy until they touch down.

    24. A pair of Apple AirPods Pro so they can block out crying babies and chatty neighbours on the plane. They'll last for nearly five hours on a single charge, meaning they won't die on them midway through their in-flight Avengers marathon.

    25. Or a pair of noise-cancelling Apple AirPods Max if they think earbuds are, to quote Hilary Duff, 🎶 so yesterday 🎶. Reviewers say they're the best wireless headphones they've ever used and that the padding is so comfy, they can wear them all day long without irritation.

    26. An Aesop kit filled with travel goodies so they won't have to funnel their skincare faves into itty-bitty bottles (or toss them out at security). It comes with hand wash, hand balm, a hydrating mask, hydrating mist, lip salve, mouthwash, and toothpaste — basically, everything they could ever need.

    27. A time-marked water bottle that'll encourage them to drink more H2O when they're travelling (and save them from buying an overpriced bottle at the airport). It comes with a removable filter, so they can infuse their water with fruits and veggies and not worry about gulping down any seeds.

    28. A packing checklist so they won't forget any of their essentials. Now they won't have to spend (practically) millions at the airport to have a charger or socks on vacation.

    29. A travel power adapter that's probably the most practical gift on this list. It's small, lightweight, and can be used in Europe, Australia, the UK, and the US.

    30. A lil' LED compact mirror so they can do touchups on the go. One side is magnified, meaning they'll actually be able to see what they're doing when drawing on a sharp cat eye or tweezing a stray brow hair.

    31. And finally, a Frequent Flyer Travel Set from Slip that comes with a travel pillow, sleep mask, and face covering all made of pure silk (bougie, I know). The travel pillow is even designed to fit over a suitcase handle, so they won't have to wear it through security.
