‘Tis the season for holiday travel! This time of year, many people who don’t travel often will pack up and head to the airport for holiday season travel. This means, they may forget certain comforts which make travel easier. These holiday travel gifts will make everyone’s trips to the airport, through TSA, and on the plane easier and care-free. Love that!

I cannot stress enough the important of proper shower shoes. These plastic slides double as shower shoes and slippers, which saves room in your suitcase. Love! You can slip them on and off, even while wearing socks. Remember, never set foot in a hotel shower barefoot! The same goes for the hotel floor, always wear slippers! These are the perfect solution for keeping feet clean. Love them!

Not pictured but linked: Air tags! If you are traveling, especially if you have a layover or are traveling internationally, air tags are a must. Every once in a while, suitcases go missing. Air tags can help you locate your bag if it misses it connection, or boards the wrong plane. Also, several airlines have partnered with Apple. This means if your luggage is missing and you can see it on the tarmac at the last airport you left from, you can share your air tag with the airline, and they can easily locate your bag and return it to you. Love this partnership! Check with your airline to ensure they are participating. This new partnership is a game changer! Love!

Remember, your liquids and beauty items must be 3.4oz or less. Otherwise, TSA will make you check or toss the item. I always pack hand cream in my carry-on because airport soap is super harsh. This hand cream set makes a fabulous holiday gift for someone, a stocking stuffer, or a travel gift to yourself. I may have given this to myself. . .just sayin’. haha

Can I give this backpack a shout out? I know people love to carry travel specific backpacks or luxury totes as their personal item/carry-on, but this backpack has been better than both of those options for me over the years. It has two sections inside, so I can put my laptop in one section, and in the other section I place my beauty bag, a scarf, snack, charger, small purse, and phone. In the shoe compartment, I place my shower shoes. If my luggage goes missing, at least I will have my shower shoes. Did I mention how important they are? Yeah, seriously, never go barefoot in a hotel or a hotel shower. Just sayin’. . .but I digress. This backpack also has the perfect side pocket for a water bottle and a mini zipper compartment on top which fits my phone. Plus, since it’s technically designed for soccer, the fabric is easy to wipe down. I mean, who knows how dirty those airplane floors are, and your carry-on/personal item goes under the seat in front of you. Ew. Please stop putting your designer totes under there, you need a bag that you can wipe down. There, I’ve said it.

So, without further ado, here are a few fabulous holiday travel gift ideas to give to the traveler on your list or snap up for yourself!

Thanks for stopping by, and safe travels, Godspeed!
