The Perfect Gifts for your Travel-Hungry Friends & Family

The holiday season is fast approaching and if you’re wondering what to get your hard-to-buy-for friends and family, you’re in the right place! If you’ve got someone in your life that wants to travel the world and is conscious about our planet’s health while they do it, we’ve got a holiday travel gift that’s sure to please.

Ask any traveler about one of their most memorable trips and they’ll likely tell you a tumultuous tale of how they ran for a flight, chased down a tuk-tuk, hitchhiked with the most interesting characters, and arrived at their hostel only to find it closed, forcing them to stay out all night with their newfound hitchhiker friends.

If you know someone with a story or two like this, they’ll appreciate any travel accessory that makes their backpack lighter and their trip more convenient. With all the things that can go awry with traveling these days – delays, cancellations, lost reservations, and breakdowns – it’s comforting to have a few things in your backpack you can depends on and feel good about their positive environmental impact.

The Best Gifts for Travelers

These are our favorite gifts that travelers will love to receive for their 2023 adventures…

COLLAPSIBLE BACKPACK
A durable, water-resistant backpack with padded straps and 15 liters of space that packs down into its own 8” x 5” x 2.5” pouch. This bag makes a perfect choice for an airplane carry-on, or a day pack that’s easily packed into a larger suitcase and stored until needed.

 

COMPRESSION PACKING CUBES
Forget vacuum-bagging your clothes–the double zipper system in these packing cubes compresses the air without the hassle of breaking out the vacuum. They also help keep luggage organized so you don’t need to turn the whole pack upside-down to find that missing pair of sunglasses.

 

TOUR TRAVEL PACK (40L)
For the true backpacker in your life, this 40 liter travel pack has all the space needed to travel the world but still fits in the overhead bins. This carry-on friendly bag is sustainable, ergonomically designed, and will definitely be a backpacker’s new best friend.

 

COLLAPSIBLE WATER BOTTLE
Our baby and our first-born, HYDAWAY’s foldable 17-ounce water bottle made from non-toxic food grade silicone compresses down into a 1.5-inch disc and packs neatly into its travel case. It’s a traveler’s perfect companion for re-fills in the airport and staying hydrated on long journeys.

 

TRTL TRAVEL PILLOW
Red eye flights can be easy on the wallet but can wreak havoc on your health and mood. The TRTL Travel Pillow is a supportive yet soft travel pillow that folds down to less than half the size and weight of a traditional travel pillow.

COLLAPSIBLE INSULATED DRINK TUMBLER
This folding travel mug is for enjoying a beverage – hot or cold – anytime, anywhere. Carrying one of these insulated drink tumblers in your bag means you can spare a disposable cup when you order your next coffee, forgo the plastic Solo cup at the next party you attend, or pour yourself a cold (or a hot) one whenever you need to take a load off.

 

SPLICE REVERSIBLE TRAVEL CLOTHING
Back in the day, you could turn clothes inside out when you needed a fresh outfit. Splice took that literally and made these ingenious reversible travel clothes in practical tunic, joggers, and ponchos.

 

CLEANING TABLETS
Keeping all of the above clean is a must, and not always easy when you’re on the go. Cleaning tablets make it easy to sanitize and disinfect silicon, stainless steel, or plastic vessels. Just add warm water and rinse. Although if you actually do stumble upon modern conveniences on your travels, all HYDAWAY products are dishwasher safe too!

ADVENTURE TRAVEL KIT
Your favorite traveler will be ready for anything with this kit which includes a collapsible backpack, 17-oz collapsible water bottle + travel case, and water bottle cleaning tablets. Make it easy on yourself with this easy to gift bundle.
