The Best Holiday Gifts for Travelers
Jet-setters, business travelers, backwoods campers and road-trip lovers all need the same thing, and here's the secret—it's a gift they'll love using on every trip they take. The best holiday gifts for travelers include the perfect luggage and travel must-haves, and you can find them here at Abt. From duffels and wheeled carry-ons to exciting action cameras, you'll find the perfect holiday gifts for the travelers in your life here. And if your recipient is a seasoned globetrotter, they're likely in need of replacement luggage or a new pair of headphones. Between the experts in our onsite TUMI store and the sales specialists in our electronics and audio fields, we've come up with the perfect gift list. Make the next flight for your traveler one they'll enjoy and wrap a bow around one of our favorites below.
TUMI is known as one of the best brands in the business when it comes to well-crafted luggage: you won't have to worry about scratches, tears, cracks or damage to any TUMI bag thanks to their ballistic nylon construction. The Alpha 3 large split 2-wheeled duffel puts that extreme craftsmanship to work with the ability to transfer from a wheeled bag to one that can be gripped and carried. But with a 98 L capacity, the comfortable wheeled pull may be a better option, especially if your gift recipient will be moving through large airports and even along paved paths with lots inside. The in-line wheels are designed to handle the pressure of tough travel thanks to solid steel axles and shock-absorbing bushings. The extension handle is made with aircraft-grade aluminum, while DuraFold construction helps heavy-duty stitching resist impact from tugs and tosses. On the interior, the TUMI Alpha 3-wheeled duffel splits in two to give travelers easy organization and space to pack what they need. Other outside and inside pockets help keep everything in order, from personal care items to spots to hide a charger or other electronics. This bag is designed with a TUMI Tracer as well, which can often help reunite lost bags with their owners. While it might be hard to wrap a gift this big, you can definitely put a big ribbon on one of our favorite gifts for travelers.
TUMI Alpha 3 Black International Expandable 4 Wheeled Carry-On - 117154-1041
If the traveler in your life is less of a checked luggage person and prefers to bring their belongings in a carry-on, this TUMI Alpha 3 international 4-wheeled carry-on is a better present for the holidays. Spinning wheels, the same level of ballistic nylon protection and 35 L of space inside make this a great choice for those who travel for business. There's even a zip garment compartment that's designed to fit a full suit—complete with a hanger bracket. Three interior zip pockets make it easy to keep belongings organized for both short and long trips. The Alpha 3 carry-on even comes with a built-in USB port, making this the all-in-one travel must-have. It's even got a little wiggle room for travelers who like to pack a bit more: it can expand by two extra inches to make room for more clothes—and more days enjoying every moment of the journey. Other upgrades include the Omega Closure System® to help prevent zipper damage, a built-in TSA combination lock, aircraft grade aluminum extension handle and more. And with a built-in TUMI Tracer, lost luggage has a much larger chance of being found. This gift for travelers is one you're more likely to be able to wrap ... and why not fill it with a few travel-ready stocking stuffers, like new socks or a makeup kit?
Mophie Powerstation Plus Ultra Portable Charger in Black - 401114329
Whether the wanderer in your life loves road trips to the mountains or enjoys flights to metropolitan destinations, there's one thing they're going to need everywhere they go: power. The Mophie Powestation Plus Ultra portable charger can easily hold up to two full phone charges and has both a lightning cable and USB-C cable built right in, as well as a USB-C port. The important specs: It can hold up to 10,0000 mAH of power at once, charges phones quickly and powers up to 50% in just 25 minutes. There are two different ways to power up this battery, too: you can unfold the wall prongs to charge the Mophie Powerstation Plus Ultra, or charge it via its own USB-C port. What's even better is the pass-through charging: users can plug the charger into the wall, then plug a phone into one of the cables to charge up the phone first and then the portable charger itself. Users can charge up to three devices at once with this multitasker—making it the perfect pick to slip into a personal item, camping backpack or a larger pocket. At 4.6 x 2.8 x 1.2 inches, it's not too big and not too small—but it will likely fit best in a backpack, crossbody bag or briefcase. Between its portability, flexibility and power capacity, the Powerstation Plus Ultra by Mophie is a must-have, and one of our favorite holiday gifts for travelers.
Belkin BOOST CHARGE Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Travel Pad with Qi2 15W - WIZ024TTBK
If you're looking for a more complete charging experience (especially if you're looking for a present for an Apple user), the Belkin BOOST CHARGE Pro 3-in-1 might be a better option. It's one of our top picks on our list of the best holiday gifts for travelers, and that's because it's perfectly flexible and can charge so many things at once—with few cords necessary. Instead of needing to bring a cable for an Apple watch, a USB-C charger for new AirPods and a lightning cable for their old iPhone, the Belkin Boost requires just one cable and charges three devices wirelessly. It folds and unfolds for the ultimate in portability, and delivers 15W of power to recent iPhones, 5W to an Apple Watch and 5W to AirPods. It all works via Qi2 technology for extra-fast charging, and thanks to MagSafe compatibility, users will know that their phone won't fall off the stand. The charger folds up to put phones at the perfect angle in StandBy mode, allowing travelers to get a peek at the time even if they're on the other side of their hotel room. And when they're falling asleep or resting, it's the perfect angle to stream shows on, too. When travelers are ready to go, it's easy to fold the triple-threat back up and pack it in its protective pouch. The Belkin BOOST CHARGE Pro 3-in-1 is a great holiday gift for travelers who have a lot to keep track of, too: just one cord, one package, and nothing else to worry about.
The Bose QuietComfort headphones are a popular pick, especially when it comes to gifts for travelers, and they have been for years. With every reincarnation, Bose makes these headphones a bit better. The current version is lightweight, comes in exciting colors like Blue, Pink, Lilac and Sand, and most importantly, has impressive audio that can hold travelers over through any flight. From high-fi sound to customizable modes, the Bose QuietComfort Headphones allow listeners to hear the world the way they want to hear it. Users can choose between Quiet Mode to immerse themselves in what they're hearing, Aware Mode to stay attuned to the world around them, and Your Mode for a customized way to listen. And with up to 24 hours of listening on a single charge, it's clear why these are on our list of the best holiday gifts for travelers. Whether your traveler is flying to the other side of the world or on a quick trip across a single time zone, they'll hear everything just the way they want to, from films to podcasts to music. And don't forget that these are QuietComfort. The plush earcups make it easy to relax, whether listeners are leaning back in a plane seat or leaning forward as they study or read.
Insta360 X4 Action Camera 8K with 360-Degree Video Travel Bundle - CINSABMA_X413
Smartphones can't go everywhere, and they certainly can't capture everything. The adventure-loving traveler in your life deserves a way to capture their best treks, journeys, hikes, dives and runs down ski slopes with a small cam, and the Insta360 X4 Action Camera 8K is the perfect copilot. And this isn't HD or 4K—this action camera captures the world in 8K. From shooting videos with the Corning® Gorilla® Glass touchscreen to capturing individual frames, the action camera makes everything look its best. 60FPS, 360° capture, AI-reframing tools, horizon locking tech and superior image stabilization all mean that your traveler will never have to worry about taking the best pictures—they take themselves. And with features like active HDR and a 72 megapixel lens, incredible surroundings will look as amazing as they are in real life with extra clarity, saturated colors and full-scale details. This pick is even waterproof up to 10 meters deep. This gift is more than just the AI-upgraded camera, too: inside the Travel Bundle is a selfie stick (invisible to the camera), lens cap and batteries: your traveler will be able to unwrap the Insta360 X4 Action Camera 8K and start having fun as soon as possible.
