Travel essentials
Calpak luggage set
I can’t stress enough the importance of reliable luggage when you travel, and Calpak is the place to get it! I especially love the Ambeur 2-piece luggage set in their signature rose gold color.
Not only is this luggage set lightweight and hard-sided, but it also includes spinner wheels and a TSA-approved lock, and it’s expandable. It’s the perfect blend of fashion and function!
Compression packing cubes
If you’ve been following me for a bit, you know that my love for packing cubes runs deep, and I’m not lying when I tell you how much of a game-changer they are when you travel.
They are essential to staying organized throughout your trip and make packing/unpacking so much easier and more efficient. Compression cubes are especially great because they compress your clothing even further, allowing you to fit more in your suitcase!
Calpak cosmetic case
This is another one of my favorite travel accessories from Calpak, and although it’s a little bit of a splurge (for a cosmetic bag), it’s worth every penny.
What I love about this toiletry bag is that it’s clear, so you can easily find what you’re looking for, AND it’s super easy to clean. It also has an inner mesh pocket for makeup brushes (or anything), which is a huge bonus. It comes in three different sizes, but the medium is the perfect size, in my opinion.
Travel steamer
A travel steamer for clothes is an invaluable womens travel accessory for keeping your clothes wrinkle-free and looking fresh on the go. Unlike traditional irons, travel clothes steamers are compact, lightweight, and easy to pack, making them perfect for trips where space is limited.
I especially love this one from Amazon because it’s multi-functional, allowing you to steam OR iron your clothing. It’s also quick and easy to use and doesn’t leak if you tip it over.
Cadence travel containers
Cadence travel containers are a game-changer for anyone who wants to pack smarter and travel lighter. These leakproof, TSA-compliant capsules are perfect for storing everything from skincare products to vitamins, ensuring your essentials stay secure and spill-free on the go.
Their magnetic design allows them to snap together, keeping your bag neat and making it easy to find what you need. Made from sustainable, BPA-free materials, they’re not only durable but also an eco-friendly alternative to single-use travel bottles, helping you reduce waste while exploring.
TIP: Calpak is running a ton of early Black Friday deals RIGHT NOW, including some of these items, so make sure to check out their website here for the latest deals.
Tech gear
Apple watch
If you’re having trouble thinking of travel gift ideas for the lady in your life, you honestly can’t go wrong with an Apple Watch (or anything Apple TBH)!
It’s especially great for travel because it tracks your steps and can be used as your source for Apple Pay, directions, boarding passes, etc, instead of your phone. It also has an emergency button which is super important for solo travel.
AirPods Pro Max
These are apparently all the hype right now, and I can see why! Not only is the sound quality amazing on the Apple AirPods Pro Max, but they’re also noise canceling and have up to 20 hours of listening time, talk time, or movie playback.
If you travel a lot, they’re also a lot more comfortable to wear, as they’re designed with memory foam ear cushions and a knit-mesh canopy.
Apple AirTags
With all of the flight cancellations and lost luggage we’ve had to deal with over the past few years, I truly can’t recommend Apple AirTags enough.
In my opinion, it’s worth spending $30 on an Apple Airtag rather than having to replace hundreds of dollars of lost items. Am I right? If the lady in your life is also ALWAYS losing her keys, this would be the PERFECT travel gift idea for her!
Canon PowerShort G7 X Mark III
This camera is actually on my own Christmas wish list (haha), so I obviously had to share it! If the traveler in your life is a blogger, vlogger, content creator, or influencer, she needs this camera in her life. Trust me!
Its compact, lightweight design makes it easy to capture stunning photos and videos on the go. With sharp image quality, optical zoom, and a fast lens, it handles everything from landscapes to close-ups. Plus, it offers 4K recording, a flip-up touchscreen for vlogging, and built-in Bluetooth for quick file transfers and sharing adventures in real time!
Portable charger
A portable charger is an absolute must-have for anyone who loves to travel or is constantly on the go. It’s truly a lifesaver when you’re out and about all day and don’t have outlets nearby. I personally would not have survived most of our trips without one!
I especially love this one from Amazon because it includes multiple built-in cables, eliminating the need to pack separate charging cables. It’s also really easy to charge, has a digital display showing the battery life, and charges your phone relatively quickly. Plus, it’s lightweight, compact, and easy to throw in your bag for a day of adventures!
Airfly
An Airfly is one of the best travel gadgets for long flights! This compact device allows you to wirelessly connect your Bluetooth headphones or earbuds to in-flight entertainment systems so you can enjoy your favorite music, movies, or podcasts without being tethered to the seatback screen.
It’s a game changer, especially on longer flights where the airline’s headphones might not be the most comfortable or high-quality. Plus, its lightweight design makes it easy to toss into your carry-on, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable travel experience.

Other fun travel gift ideas
Adidas Sambas
If you’ve been searching for the perfect pair of travel sneakers that combine style, comfort, and versatility, you need these Adidas sambas in your life. After spending a few weeks in Italy and seeing practically EVERYONE wearing them, I obviously had to buy a pair for myself, and omg, they’re insanely comfortable!
What I love most about these sneakers for travel is that they can easily be dressed up or down and worn for a variety of adventures. Plus, they’re really lightweight and easy to pack!
Fjallraven Kanken mini backpack
If you’re on the hunt for the perfect travel backpack for day trips, this mini backpack from Fjallraven Kanken is for you! Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry all day, no matter where your adventures take you, while its surprisingly roomy interior can hold all of your essentials, even a water bottle or small tablet.
It’s also made from durable, water-resistant Vinylon, ensuring your belongings stay safe regardless of weather conditions. Additionally, its stylish yet practical design includes thoughtful details like adjustable straps, dual top handles, and multiple compartments for organization.
Sorel boots
I purchased my first pair of Sorel boots last year when we lived in Utah for a few months, and they truly were such a lifesaver during winter! I especially love the Sorel Out N About IV Chillz women’s waterproof boots because they’re wrapped in faux shearling and microfleece lining, keeping your feet SO warm!
They’re also really comfortable, have a high-traction rubber sole, and are made of waterproof suede, which is an absolute must in the snow. Plus, their stylish design makes them versatile enough to wear beyond the slopes, whether you’re out and about running errands or exploring town.
Christmas gift card station
When in doubt, buy some gift cards for Christmas! They may not be the most exciting or thoughtful Christmas gifts for wife (or any woman), but at least you know you’ll be getting them something that they will ACTUALLY use. Christmas gift cards also make great last minute Christmas gifts if you’re on a time crunch! Below are some Christmas gift card ideas in case you’re interested.
