100 Practical Travel Gifts

From Portable Java Kits to Single-Use Toothpaste Packets

— November 15, 2014 — World
Rather than bogging a jetsetter down with things that aren't absolute essentials, these travel gifts serve as things that will help to enhance everything from grooming to sleeping and of course, adventuring.

Some of the most ingenious gift ideas for travelers include simple things like blow-up hangers, water purifiers, travel coffee kits, portable clothing presses and air purifiers to bring some of the luxuries of home with you on the road. For those who find themselves constantly spending time at the airport, there are even a number of compact sleeping pads and pods that can easily be pulled out or tucked away as needed to ensure that someone with wanderlust has a nice place to rest their head, no matter where in the world they are.
