It's been quite the year! The holiday season is finally upon us! While we're doing our best to ensure the products we feature arrive on time, shipping may be a bit unpredictable this year, so we recommend shopping sooner rather than later.
Shipping availability and times can vary based on your location, the item you choose, and more. Be sure to order earlier than expected and double-check the shipping details on retailers' sites to guarantee your gift arrives when needed.
'Tis the season, and the Mytour Shopping team is here to help you find the perfect gift for everyone on your list. We love finding the best items, so we've rounded up our favorite travel products that also make fantastic presents. Here are our picks (and why we love them)!
1. A compact cutlery set so they’re always ready with a fork, spoon, knife, chopsticks, and a straw while on the go. If they find themselves without any disposable utensils, they’ll have this convenient and portable set tucked away, perfect for road trips and quick meals.
2. A smart backpack for the frequent traveler in your life. This isn't your average carryall – it features a main compartment that fully unzips, a laptop sleeve, zippered pockets for beauty and grooming items, a spacious compartment for up to five outfits, compression straps, *and* a trolley passthrough (a thick strap that slides over your suitcase handle) to make traveling with luggage effortless.
Béis is a woman-owned brand that specializes in travel accessories, created by actress and entrepreneur Shay Mitchell. It offers a variety of practical travel essentials like carry-on rollers, weekender bags, packing cubes, and more!
"I purchased this bag for a five-day road trip across the country and it was a total lifesaver. First, I flew with it and stowed it under my seat, so I didn't have to check a bag or worry about overhead bins. Then, it journeyed through over 10 states and multiple hotels with me. My favorite features are the compression straps and the fact that it fully unzips. It makes packing, unpacking, and airport security so much easier. I managed to fit around four pairs of leggings, four T-shirts, two sets of pajamas, two pairs of shorts, two swimsuits, a sweatshirt, a week's worth of undergarments, toiletries, an iPad, my wallet, and more. " —Chelsea Stuart
Available from Béis for $78 (also available in black).
Shipping info: Free shipping on US orders $125+. Standard UPS Ground shipping (3-5 business days) is $9.95 for orders under $125. Second-Day and Next-Day Air shipping options are available for an additional cost.
3. A handy hair conditioner bar to help them avoid carrying extra liquids in their carry-on or worrying about missing shower essentials at the hotel. It's the perfect gift for your next under $20 exchange with friends and family.
4. A cozy and comfy hoodie they'll love wearing on repeat during flights. Crafted from a cotton-blended fleece and equipped with a built-in sleep mask, this hoodie promises to leave them feeling like they're on ~cloud nine~ while they fly. Can't wait to add this to my holiday wishlist right now.

Shipping Info: Standard ground shipping costs $5 for orders under $95. Delivery takes 2 to 5 days after processing.
5. A compact raincoat that fits right into their pocket (or suitcase) when the weather takes a turn for the worse. It’s breathable (goodbye, sweat) and waterproof, so they’ll stay dry even in sudden rainstorms.
6. Leakproof travel capsules for those who need to carry small essentials on their travels. These TSA-friendly containers make an ideal gift, as they safely store face creams, delicate jewelry, and vitamins, all while sporting a fun, colorful design. Plus, they’re magnetic, ensuring they stay together neatly in a cosmetics bag or suitcase compartment.
"I absolutely love my little containers! They help me downsize my essentials while traveling, without sacrificing anything I need. They’re cute and practical, too. I store my vitamins, earrings, and face cream in them, and haven’t had any problems. Their screw-on lids keep everything secure, plus you can customize the labels so you’ll always know what’s inside. And the magnetic feature? Brilliant. The containers stay together in my case, or I can conveniently store them in my makeup bag." —Jasmin Sandal

10. A mini wallet emergency kit featuring a sleek print of their favorite city skyline, packed with travel-sized essentials that will save the day when minor issues arise. If the terminal bathroom runs out of soap or they need a quick breath freshener, this adorable kit has them covered.

"I, your typical forgetful person, bought the NYC skyline version of this at the start of COVID-19 to keep in my work bag. Sadly, I haven't touched my work bag in months because...*gestures at the world around*...but it's such a useful kit that will come in handy when I’m back on the go. The quality of everything from Anne Cate is exceptional. Even the wallet itself is so cute and could be used for many purposes." —Danielle Healy
Grab it from Anne Cate for $22 (available in 96 styles).
Shipping details: Expedited two-day and one-day shipping options are available at an additional cost.
11. A soft travel pillow that they’ll thank you over and over for gifting them, as it’s not only supportive but incredibly comfortable for those long plane journeys. Resting your head on an airplane seat isn’t always ideal, but they can adjust the pillow to suit their preferred resting position, whether that’s under the chin or to the left or right of the head.
12. A compact camp chair for when they need a cozy seat during their next outdoor adventure. Whether they’re camping for the weekend or going on a day hike, this gem is both lightweight and easily folds up for convenient portability.
"I own this! I’m originally from Utah, where I lived on a mountain and hiked (literally) every day. Having spent most of my life outdoors, I’m quite particular about the products I use. This camp chair is definitely something I’d recommend. If you're planning a short backpacking trip and need a seat at your site, this is a great option! It’s also my go-to for relaxing at a park or during longer stays at a campsite." —Mallory Mower
Get it from Bespoke Post for $75 (available in three colors).
Shipping info: Flat rate standard shipping costs $3.95 to the lower 48 states (free shipping for orders over $75).
13. A pair of copper-infused compression socks for the traveler who’s always on their feet: These socks are made from moisture-wicking fabric, offering gentle compression to help ease mild cramping and reduce swelling.
14. An Away carry-on to help them pack multiple outfits without the need to spend a fortune on checked luggage. Another great perk of this bag? It includes an ejectable (and TSA-approved!) battery that can charge their tech devices on the go, anytime and anywhere.
"I’ve had my Away carry-on for about a year now, and I absolutely love it! I've managed to fit everything I need for a weeklong trip into this suitcase with room to spare. It has two main compartments: one side with an interior compression system for your soft clothes, and another zippered side for all your loose items. It also includes a laundry bag for dirty clothes while you travel. I love how durable it is — even after knocking it against walls and benches, it hasn’t scratched or dented. And if it does get damaged, Away offers a limited lifetime warranty that covers any functional issues with the shell, wheels, handles, zippers, or anything else that affects the suitcase’s usability. This is definitely a splurge-worthy purchase that I feel has paid for itself (and more!)." —Ciera Velarde
Get it from Away for $225 (available in six colors).
Shipping info: All orders have a processing time of one to two business days. UPS Ground shipping takes one to five business days, with Faster and Fastest shipping options available for an additional cost.
15. An adjustable satin-lined beanie to keep their head warm in the cold while also protecting their hair from breakage and frizz. Plus, it’s compact enough to stash in a backpack, carry-on, or purse for easy transport on vacation!
Grace Eleyae is a Black woman–owned brand offering satin-lined accessories and hats designed to protect hair from breakage, dryness, and frizz.
"This satin-lined cap smooths my hair and protects me from my kryptonite (💦) — it does exactly what it promises and even helps with my flat iron. Both of the caps I own come with adjustable strings at the back so I can tighten it for bedtime or loosen it for outdoor wear. After two years of using this cap, I’ve noticed so many benefits: my hair is shinier, longer, healthier, and has less breakage. Even on days with humidity levels higher than the temperature, my hair stays perfectly styled 💅🏾." —Chantel Turner
Get it from Amazon: the cap with an adjustable drawstring for $29.95 (available in pink and green) and a nonadjustable version for $19.99 (available in black).
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will also arrive by Christmas (check Amazon’s full shipping information here).
16. A set of seven packing cubes to prevent them from panicking, "Where are my T-shirts, sandals, and skincare products?!" upon arrival at their destination. The set includes various sizes for clothes, shoes, and beauty items, and they stack neatly in a suitcase to keep everything organized.
17. A sleek Quip electric toothbrush to help them keep their teeth squeaky clean without taking up too much space in their luggage. It has a built-in two-minute timer to help them brush properly, and it's wireless — meaning no need to lug around a bulky charger or plug-in base when traveling between destinations.
This product includes a sleek handle, a soft-bristled brush head, a durable cover, and you can choose to have it shipped with or without a free Mint Anticavity Toothpaste.
"I've never really liked electric toothbrushes, but Quip has changed my perspective. I love how compact and stylish it is, and the fact that I don’t need to plug it in or occupy extra counter space. The best feature, though, is the built-in two-minute timer that buzzes every 30 seconds, reminding me to switch to a different part of my mouth. Before, with my old bamboo toothbrush, I thought I was brushing for two minutes, but it turns out I was mistaken. 😬 Now I can really feel the difference in how fresh my teeth feel after using Quip." —Chelsea Stuart
Get it from Quip for $40 (originally $45; available in four metallic finishes).
Shipping info: Priority (three to four business days) and express (one to two business days) shipping options are available at an additional cost.
18. Introducing the Calpak Car Organizer, a game-changer for long road trips. It's so convenient, they’ll be asking, "Where have you been all my life?!" Its accordion-style design expands to accommodate anything from picnic blankets to sports gear to snacks and drinks. Instead of tossing everything into the trunk, you can keep all your essentials neatly organized and easily accessible.
"The Calpak Car Organizer is truly a game changer for vehicles of any size. This accordion-style cube organizer includes three main compartments, each of which can be folded down and securely snapped in place if you only need one or two sections. While it may appear unassuming, the storage capacity it offers is impressive. As someone who spends a significant amount of time on the road (because I love driving and exploring new places), I like to keep my car stocked with everything I might need for spontaneous adventures. The organizer keeps all my essential items neatly to one side, creating ample room for luggage, newly purchased items, or whatever else I might need to store in the trunk. My trunk is often filled with dog supplies (leashes, treats, toys, potty pads, a bowl), outdoor gear (picnic blankets, sunscreen, a baseball hat, Tevas, a lantern, a football), and reusable shopping bags. Thankfully, the Calpak Car Organizer makes it look far less cluttered than it sounds." —Rebecca Norris
Get it from Calpak for $78 (available in four colors).
Shipping info: Standard flat-rate shipping is $7.95 for orders under $75.

A delicate pearl sunglasses chain that’s perfect for anyone who’s constantly putting their sunglasses on and off. This elegant chain not only holds the sunnies but also doubles as a chic necklace, ideal for sightseeing during vacation.
A Rumpl Puffy Blanket that’s the perfect embodiment of comfort and warmth. Whether it’s for lounging at a campsite or taking a break after a hike, it provides a cozy spot to sit, keeping you off the cold ground. Plus, when you’re ready to pack up, it conveniently rolls up into a compact matching bag!
A Bluetooth-enabled mask designed for those who want to relax and listen to their favorite soothing playlist before takeoff. It also serves as a useful tool for blocking out light from screens or the person in front of them adjusting the window shade.
23. A Hackwith Design House shirt for anyone who wants to travel light but still look stylish in vacation photos. This versatile shirt can be styled in six different ways (such as off the shoulder or as a V-neck), and it also makes for an excellent wardrobe staple when not on the road.
Hackwith Design House is a small, woman-owned business that offers beautiful, made-to-order clothing, including sweaters, tops, and dresses.
"I discovered this brand thanks to TikToker @jennifer.bianca, who appeared on my FYP. This shirt checks all my boxes: black, comfy, versatile, and durable. I was initially concerned it wouldn't feel secure (I’m a 38DDD, and most wrap tops or dresses don’t stay put), but I’ve had no problems with this one! I’ve worn it tied at the front for a square neck (like the middle picture) and tied at the back for a V-neck (like the one on the right)—both were super comfortable and I didn’t need to readjust. As someone whose weight fluctuates, I really appreciate how this piece adapts to changes. The fabric is medium-weight, so I can wear it year-round, and the arms have enough elasticity that they stay rolled up when I push them up. Needless to say, I’m going to get this in more colors!" —Chelsea Stuart
Get it from Hackwith Design House for $110 (available in women's sizes XS–4X and in four colors).
Shipping info: Free shipping for US orders; Priority Mail Express is available for an additional fee.
A speckled S'well water bottle to help them stay hydrated while reducing the need for plastic bottles on their travels. Its vacuum-insulated design keeps drinks cold for hours, and its exterior prevents condensation from forming.
A rechargeable handheld fan for the traveler who frequently visits warmer destinations. This compact gadget fits easily into a backpack or carry-on, providing a cool breeze during outdoor activities or while relaxing by the pool.
Vacuum seal bags that allow for maximizing luggage space, making it easy to store bulky items like sweaters and jackets. This gift will be especially appreciated by anyone traveling to a cold destination and needing to pack warm clothing for a few days.
