Luckily a lot of stuff can be found on Amazon, so even if you wait until the last minute you are sure to get her something she will love!

5 Useful Holiday Gift Ideas to Keep Her Comfortable
1. A Comfortable Pair of Shoes for Traveling
Mallory’s goto shoes are the Nike Pegasus running shoes. If you’re walking through an airport like Hong Kong that seems to be miles long, comfortable shoes are necessary!

2. Lululemon Pants Made for Adventure
These “On the Fly” pants are perfect for travel. They have 4-way stretch technology and are made of a naturally breathable fabric.
$118 Available on Lululemon
3. Mallory’s goto Neck Pillow for Travel
Most airplane seats aren’t very comfortable, even some of the business class seats I’ve sat in. When comfort is your number 1 priority don’t leave it to chance make sure you come prepared with a comfortable neck pillow, so you aren’t that guy or gal sleeping on your neighbor’s shoulder!
$11 Available on Amazon
4. A Cozy Sweater
The temperature in airplane cabins can vary drastically. That is why it is essential to be prepared for a variety of conditions. This stylish sweater will keep her looking good and warm should you end up on one of those flights that happen to double as a freezer.
$178 Available on Lululemon
5. Sleep Mask
There is nothing worse than settling in to take a nice long nap on the plane and someone nearby opening the window letting a blast of bright light in. You won’t have to worry about that with this silk sleep mask.

These lenses for your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy will make that amazing camera you have in your pocket even better. There are wide-angle, telephoto, and macro lenses that you add to your existing phone allowing you to change the field of vision without losing the quality. One thing to note is you do need the Moment case to be able to attach these lenses. If you use the link below you can get $15 off your first purchase!

7. A GoPro Hero 8 Bundle
With the in-body stabilization upgrade the GoPro Hero 8 received, this action camera should now be considered a real competitor to phones and even entry-level cameras. With a bundle holiday gift, the jet-setting lady in your life can vlog, take selfies, or whatever her heart desires with a small convenient camera for traveling.
$405 Available on Adorama
8. A FujiFilm Instax Camera
The popularity of the instant camera has recently soared again with FujiFilm leading the way. I recently gave away one of these and the response was overwhelming! This is a fun way to capture a memory and have the instant gratification of holding it in your hand. Also great for scrapbookers, or those who love doing flat lay photography! The one linked below also puts a cool retro styling on the new instant camera.

9. Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headphones
Nobody likes sitting next to the guy who snores, or a crying baby on an airplane. Let your loved one tune out with these Bose Bluetooth Headphones. I wrote about why they were necessary in my post about airplane etiquette. I don’t leave home without my Bose QC35 II Wireless headphones.

10. Keep Her Charged up with a Mophie portable battery
My Mophie is one of the things I don’t leave my house without. There are so many occasions where having a little extra power for my phone saved the day.

Keeping Her Organized During Her Travels
Sometimes staying organized is a full-time job. Being organized during travel is important because it allows you to maximize your space during packing so you can take what you need, but also bring back souvenirs. It will also make sure you don’t leave anything behind!
11. Zoppen Passport Wallet
Most passport wallets can hold your passport, a little cash, and maybe 2 or 3 credit cards. This is quite possibly the best passport wallet I’ve seen, and it looks good too. It has space for ID Cards, Credit Cards, cash, your passport and even your boarding pass. The best part though is the price, only $16.99.
$17 Available on Amazon
12. A Cord Burrito
Keep all of your charger cords organized in this cord burrito, so you don’t end up with a tangled mess of iPhone, iPad, GoPro, etc. cords when you get to your destination and need to charge up.

13. A Travel Bag for weekend getaways
Mallory loves her Vera Bradley Weekender set. She can fit more than enough clothes in the duffle for a long weekend, and the makeup bag ensures nothing will spill on her clothes. This is the bag set she has traveled with on most of our short trips this year.

Holiday Gifts to Keep Her Feeling Fresh During Travel

17. Aesop Arrival/Departure Travel Kits
One way you can be more sustainable during your travels is by bringing along your own toiletries. If you prefer to travel using only carry-ons as I do, this can be a challenge, but with Aesop’s Arrival Kit and Departure Kit, you can always bring along high-end great smelling toiletries. You can find both at Nordstrom, the arrival kit is $35 and includes Shampoo conditioner, body wash, and lotion, while the departure kit is $53 includes amenities to keep you and your skin feeling great during long flights such as the rinse-free hand wash, toothpaste, mouthwash, hand cream, hydrating face spray, a face mask, and lip cream.

18. Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream
A 24-hour moisturizing cream that not only reduces moisture loss but also continuously draws moisture from the air keeping your face smooth and moisturized. This cream is a lifesaver on ultra-long-haul flights since the humidity on airplanes is so low it dries us out. The travel-size can be found at Nordstrom for just $18!
Travel size is $18 and the Full-size is $50 at Nordstrom

One of the things I hate most is coming off a flight feeling greasy. These sensitive wipes allow you to clean your face without drying it out. They also smell really good!
$3.50 Available on Amazon
20. Dry Shampoo
Unless you’re flying on Emirates A380 or Etihad’s A380 in first class where there is a shower, its inevitable that you’ll find yourself looking and feeling a bit greasy after a long flight. Drybar’s super absorbant dry shampoo will absorb oils and leave your hair looking and feeling great. The travel-size is available at Nordstrom for just $13.
