As someone who’s constantly on the go (and always shopping on Amazon), I have a soft spot for the little holiday gifts that make travel smoother, especially when they fit perfectly inside a holiday stocking. Sure, unwrapping a big gift is fun, but there’s something extra special about discovering a thoughtful gift that your loved one will actually use. I scoured the Amazon Holiday Shop and pulled together a few tried-and-true Travel + Leisure favorites that travelers can’t stop raving about.
Sure, some of these picks might not fit in a traditional stocking, but they’re practical picks that’ll upgrade any trip—and they’re all $25 or less. From smart tech like Apple’s AirTag and portable chargers to cozy staples like fuzzy slippers and sleek toiletry bags, these gifts prove you don’t need a first-class budget to gift like a pro. And if you’re still stumped on what to give, you can never go wrong with an Amazon gift card—a foolproof way to let them choose their next adventure essential.
