As much as we all love to travel and explore new places for leisure, there is a fraction of us who travel day in and out for work. This is not necessarily a fun thing after long working hours.

While we were throwing ideas about practical gifts we would like to get instead of unusual gifts, we decided to share them with you all because there is nothing better than coming home from a tiring week of work travel and finding yourself a little goodie gift bag.

So this holiday season, if you are thinking about what to gift your busy loved ones, then here are some travel gift ideas.

Gift Ideas for Business Travelers

Ergonomic Mouse 

Personally, I cannot tell you how much an ergonomic portable mouse and padded wrist rest pad have saved Richa’s tiring wrists if you know someone who works a lot on their computers.

• Anker Ergonomic USB Wired Vertical Mouse
• Logitech Wireless Vertical Ergonomic Mouse
• Logitech Ergonomic Wireless Trackball Mouse

Wrist Rest Pad

Adding on to the mouse is another great addition to give some rest to the wrist.

• Mouse Pad with Wrist Support Rest
• Ergonomic Memory Foam Mouse Wrist Support
• Ergonomic Gliding Palm Rest
• Keyboard and Mouse Pad Wrist Support Set

Mini USB Extension Cord 

This will make for a fantastic gift for people who travel with multiple electronics – phones, smartwatches, computers, tablets, and fitness gear and the constant need to get their devices charged. Especially handy when you have limited plug-point at places such as airports or hotels. 

• Mini Power Strip with 3 USB Ports
• Travel Power Strip with 4 Outlets, 2 USB, and 1 USB C
• Portable Power Strip with 2 USB C, 2 USB, and 6 Outlets

Universal Travel Adapter 

This might already be a critical piece of luggage for people who travel internationally. But if you know someone traveling on a business trip out of the country for the first time, this will be a very practical gift.

Portable Charger Power Bank

• Anker Portable Charger
• Belkin Portable Charger

Cables Organizer Case

Even if you are not OCD about the organization, trust us that your life will be much easier when all the wires are sorted and in place, which can be easily found.

• Small Cable Organizer Bag
• Large Cable Organizer Bag
• Slim Cable Organizer Bag

Noise-canceling Headphones

These headphones are our go-to for providing entertainment when traveling for leisure. But we will love them even more when they come in super handy to block out noise at airports, planes, and trains or wherever you want your peace of mind.

• Sony Noise Canceling Wireless Headphones
• Beats Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones
• Beats Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds

Electronic Notepad 

iPad & Cell Phone Covers

Laptop Sleeves

Luggage for Day Trips

There is nothing worse than one-day meetings where it makes no sense to pack a regular carry-on suitcase. Check out some of these easy-going yet professional-looking backpacks or an under-the-seat carry-on or weekend duffle bag for those short work trips.

Smart Watches and Health Wearables

Packing Cubes

Cool Gel Insoles

This one is gold for women business travelers and not too bad for male travelers.

Travel Clothes Steamer 

We recommend this gift for those busy professionals who like their clothes crisp. Using a travel steamer will save one’s time considerably while at a hotel, in transit, or on vacation.

Portable Travel Iron

If you are not one for a steamer but still like your clothes crisp, then you definitely want to carry a portable travel iron. There have been times when we have been at AirBnB’s or even hotels without a proper iron.

Foldable Travel Blanket

Travel Water Bottles

We have been putting more effort into sustainable travel lately, and if you know someone who believes in the same, this is a great gift for them. Our latest obsession has been with our S’well bottles for travel.

Portable Coffee & Tea Mugs

Along the same lines as above, if your loved ones prefer to save a paper cup and carry their own, Yeti tumbler, Contigo, and other coffee mugs will make for great gifts.

Shoe Management 

Passport Wallet

Portable USB Fan

If your loved ones are anything like Gaurav and are always feeling hot, no matter if the temperature is at the lowest in a hotel room, you need to gift them this portable USB fan.

Travel Toiletries Bag

For Her

For Him

Refreshing Skin Care

Hope you found some of these gifts interesting. If you liked this post, don’t forget to share it with your friends and family.

Happy Traveling!
