But despite never telling my friends and family exactly what it is that I want, I have a knack for ending up with all the best travel gadgets and gear. I use them all the time.
That’s why I put together this gift guide. It’s a list of my favorite travel gift ideas (including a few on my wishlist). So if you’re looking for the best travel gifts for men this holiday season, or even just the best gifts for men in general, these unique gift ideas are sure to please.
From a super stylish passport holder to a compact power bank to go-anywhere travel shoes, these are the best travel gifts for men that I could find!
Favorite Travel Gifts for Men
1. Harber London Travel Wallet with RFID Protection
Harber London builds high-quality leather goods with an emphasis on material choice and craftsmanship. Their Travel Wallet with RFID Protection is beautiful and durable and makes a great gift for men who travel.
Beyond the excellent craftsmanship, there are two features that set this wallet apart from others and make it a perfect gift for a frequent traveler.
First, it doubles as a passport holder while also fitting typical wallet stuff like cards and cash. When traveling, having one place for your passport, cards, currency, and boarding pass makes it easier to keep track of things.
Second, in addition to the full-grain leather, this wallet has a layer of RFID-blocking material, meaning credit card numbers can’t be scanned and stolen. There’s a lot to think about while traveling, and this adds some extra peace of mind.
Since it works as a passport holder, this wallet is a bit oversized for everyday use. It’s really meant for traveling, and it excels at that, making it one of the best travel gifts for men who are frequent flyers.
2. Menlo Club
Menlo Club is the travel gift that keeps on giving! This apparel subscription service for men will deliver a curated package of clothing to his doorstep every month (or seasonally).
Just fill out the style survey and then he’ll receive two items per package on average (usually a t-shirt and pair of pants to start) from LA-based brands Five Four, New Republic, Grand Running Club, or Melrose Place. I’ve received quite a few pieces from Menlo Club and can attest to the fact that they’re very high quality.
If you’re shopping for a fashion-conscious man, this is a great gift; he’ll love receiving new items to keep his style game on point.
If the clothing doesn’t fit, he can always send it back or exchange it for free. Doesn’t get much easier!
NOTE: I teamed up with Menlo Club to get you a pretty sick deal!
You can get your first package for just $20 bucks.

3. NOMAD Rugged Leather Smartphone Case
I love the NOMAD brand, and their smartphone cases for both iPhones and Androids are all beautiful and functional. Their Rugged line is made up of stylish American-made Horween leather cases that can also take a beating. In fact, the leather actually looks better with time.
Some of the NOMAD phone cases also fit the Moment smartphone lenses, and others come in a folio-style to hold credit cards and other valuables. I’ve been using NOMAD’s smartphone cases for three years, and can’t see myself using anything else—ever. That’s why I recommend this as one of the best travel gifts you can buy.
4. Forsake Halden Hiking Boots
If you’re looking for travel gift ideas for a man who likes to hit the trail, he’ll love these comfortable, sturdy hiking boots. Not only are they grippy, durable, and capable enough for long days on the trail, they also don’t compromise on town-ready style. He’ll be able to tackle that long hike on his bucket list, and when he gets back he’ll be dressed for dinner in town.
I love the versatile Forsake Halden boots. They’re rugged, breathable, but also stylish enough for everyday wear. They’re made from waterproof leather, which is a huge advantage on wet spring and fall hikes.
If you’re looking for travel gifts for men, this classic shoe is durable enough to withstand the harsh elements, no matter the terrain.
5. Luno Car Air Mattress
The Luno Air Mattress 2.0 is one of my favorite new products this year, and it’s one of the best gift ideas for men who camp in their car. Each one is custom cut to fit perfectly into the back of specific vehicles for overland camping trips. You can find mattresses specifically made for SUVs, crossovers, and hatchbacks from Jeep, Toyota, Subaru, and almost any other brand out there.
This isn’t the standard camping air mattress. It’s four inches thick, it has an adjustment valve to set the firmness, and it fits two people up to 6’2” tall.
Car camping is one of the best ways to travel the country, and this mattress delivers about the most comfortable sleep he’ll get in the back of his car (trust me, I know)!
6. Arcade Belt
This is one of my personal favorites in this gift guide. I’ve worn an Arcade Belt for years, and I’m willing to vouch for their claim that it’s the most comfortable belt ever made. My body type makes it hard to find pants that fit just right, so I pretty much always wear a belt. I’ve always found them uncomfortable though, and hated the stiff, bulky feeling of belts.
The Arcade Belt changes that paradigm. It’s lightweight, stretchy, and minimal. I sometimes forget I’m even wearing a belt!
This belt comes in a massive range of colors and designs, so you’re sure to find one that fits his style. Whether he needs something toned-down for work or bright and fun for casual wear, they’ve got something that fits.
Plus, the no-metal design breezes through TSA check-ins, eliminating the hassle of taking off your belt. This is a solid gift idea for frequent flyers.
7. SAXX Sleepwalker
Give him the gift of comfort with the Sleepwalker from SAXX. Their ultra-soft shirts and pants are made with moisture-wicking modal, which will keep him sweat-free throughout the whole night.
And unlike their normal pajama set, the Sleepwalker pants come with what they call a Ballpark Pouch. This 3D hammock-shaped pouch protects his most precious body parts during the night. And although he might not want to admit it, he’ll definitely thank you for looking out for his manhood!
In fact, I’ll go ahead and thank you for him right now. My balls have never felt so supported.
8. REI Gift Card
Can’t make up your mind on what the best gifts for the traveler in your life might be? Let him decide by giving him an REI Gift Card!
From sporting gear and equipment to outdoor clothing and footwear, REI has a variety of products that every adventure-seeker could possibly want. And I mean, literally everything. Car racks, paddleboards, and set of ski poles? REI has it covered. Sunglasses, carry-on luggage, and doggy travel accessories? Yep, they’ve got that too.
The best part about getting a gift card is you can set your own price point and let him do the shopping for you.
9. LIVSN Flex Canvas Pants
The LIVSN Flex Canvas Pants are perfect gifts for the light traveler. They’re designed to be function-oriented without compromising on style. These durable outdoor pants have a generous amount of stretch that also makes them incredibly comfortable.
Plus these pants come with lots of extras to make life easier, like a roll-up leg system, ventilation, and zippered security pockets. These features are packed in without making these pants look overly technical.
Made with sustainable 7.3oz EcoFlex Canvas, the LIVSN pants will look great on him whether he’s hitting the trails or grabbing a pint at the local watering hole. Their versatility, comfort, and style make this quality pair of pants one of the best travel gifts for men who are always on the go.
10. Deckers x Lab X-SCAPE Shoes
The Deckers x Lab X-SCAPE series are high-performance sneakers that are just as comfortable as slippers (seriously—they’re the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever worn). They’re optimized for an active lifestyle, so if you’re shopping for an adventurous traveler, he’ll love the go-anywhere functionality and style.
The Deckers x Lab X-SCAPE comes in two different versions for different applications:
The X-SCAPE RDSTR is made from natural materials including a bio-based upper material, a midsole made from sugarcane EVA, EcoTan Leather, and a 30% recycled natural rubber outsole. This sustainable sneaker is perfect for everyday adventures and traveling.
The X-SCAPE SNKOUT GTX takes a more technical approach with a Goretex waterproof/breathable membrane and a grippy Vibram outsole.
Whether he’s a stylish urban traveler or a rugged outdoor adventurer, these shoes make one of the best travel gifts for men.
11. JBL Flip 6
The JBL Flip 6 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker is the item I never travel without. It’s durable, so he can take it pretty much anywhere he wants like the beach or just his hotel room. And despite its small, compact size, this Bluetooth speaker has pretty incredible sound quality.
Even better, the battery lasts up to twelve hours. He can strap it to the outside of his backpack for some tunes while he’s hiking or just drop it into the water bottle pocket of his backpack—it fits perfectly.
12. The Helinox Chair One
The Helinox Chair One is your classic camp chair…but on steroids. It’s compact and, at 2.10 lbs, it weighs less than a bottle of wine (that’s an actual spec given by the company, by the way).
This lightweight chair sets up easily and packs down incredibly small. I love taking mine on hikes and kicking back at a lake or scenic viewpoint.
Despite the small weight and size, these chairs are rated to support up to 300 lbs.
13. Vessi Travel Shoes
These might be the only set of shoes he’ll ever need for traveling—literally. Unlike most sneakers, Vessi travel shoes are completely waterproof, which means rain and dirt roll right off, keeping his socks dry and comfortable. With three different models and multiple colors, the guy in your life can pick the style that’s right for him.
And don’t even get me started on comfort! Vessi shoes are breathable, flexible, and super lightweight. With stretchy vegan fabric, maximum support, and soft-gel heels, he can say goodbye to sore feet forever. Plus, because they’re made of mesh, they collapse and pack into your bag in a cinch. In my opinion, this is the perfect travel shoe.
I wrote a whole Vessi review about how much I love these shoes.
Travel Gifts for Men Under $50
14. Leatherman Squirt PS4 Mini Multi-Tool
It’s no secret that men like tools, and this keychain-sized multitool is a gift he’s sure to use. Measuring only 2.25 in. in length and weighing less than 2 oz, the Squirt PS4 multi-tool is small enough to take along on every adventure.
The stainless steel body of this multi-tool houses a pair of regular pliers, needle-nose pliers, scissors, 3 screwdrivers, wire cutters, replaceable tweezers, a wood/metal file, straight knife, and a bottle opener.
15. Happy Socks
Travel gifts don’t have to be high-tech and expensive. A pair of Happy Socks is sure to make the traveling man on your list smile.
These simple socks come in hundreds (maybe thousands?) of different styles, from the Milky Way to the Simpsons Family. It’ll be easy to find a pair that can show off a bit of his personality. A pair of these socks can be a great way to start conversations or get some laughs.
The socks themselves are made of organic cotton, so this is an environmentally-friendly travel gift. The reinforced toe and heel ensure they’ll last a long time.
16. O’Douds All Natural Solid Travel-Friendly Cologne
Large bottles of liquid cologne make great gifts for men but they just aren’t practical to travel with, so get him a bar of O’Douds All Natural Solid Cologne. O’Douds carries scents like Cedar & Citrus, Bay Rum, Orchard and Forest—a scent for every guy who travels.
Even better, it’s a small (.3 oz) and easy-to-carry version of cologne that he can stash in his carry-on luggage! And since it’s not a liquid, he won’t have to fumble for it in his luggage when going through airport security.
17. ESPRO Travel Coffee Press
The ESPRO Travel Press is a bonafide French press coffee maker crossed with a standard thermos. Just because he’s traveling doesn’t mean he has to settle for bland, instant coffee.
Not only can he bring his favorite blends and beans on the road, but it’ll keep his caffeine hot for the entire day! Perfect for travelers and caffeine addicts alike, this insulated thermos will easily be one of his favorite travel gifts of the year.
18. Well Told Drinkware
You can’t go wrong with a thoughtful and personalized gift, and that’s why Well Told’s map drinkware is one of my favorite gifts for men (and all travelers) this year.
Whether it’s a map of his hometown or home state imposed on a stemless wine glass, or a map of his favorite European city displayed on a rock tumbler, a piece of Well Told Drinkware will definitely deliver a smile.
If he’s an aviation geek, you can also choose airport and runway codes. There’s a whole range of drinkware to choose from as well (including non-alcoholic containers, like coffee mugs).
19. Tile Pro Bluetooth Tracking Device
Everyone dreads losing their keys, wallet, or bag, especially while traveling. This travel gift is one that will give him a little peace of mind as he explores the globe.
The Tile Pro is a keychain-size device that is meant to help locate things when you misplace them. With integrated Bluetooth, you can use an app on your phone to trigger it to ring out, making it easy to find small items.
This little device can attach to pretty much any item (like keys or a backpack), or the slim version slides into a wallet, passport, or pocket in his luggage. This is definitely one of the best travel gifts for men who seem to always misplace their valuables!
Most importantly, if his luggage gets stolen and it has a Tile inside, he can find its location on a map when it passes within range of anyone else in the Tile community (which is huge, by the way). And even if he’s not traveling around the world, he can still use Tile to locate your items at home.
20. Harber London Leather Cable Ties
It’s pretty easy for cables to turn into a frustrating tangled mess while traveling. That’s why these Leather Cable Ties are a great gift for to add to any traveler’s arsenal of gear. He won’t realize how much he needed them until he has them.
These stylish leather cable ties come in a pack of three and are the perfect size for headphone cables and phone chargers. They snap closed to keep cables in an organized little bundle. When traveling, it really is the little details that make all the difference.
These are a bit expensive for what they are, but if you’re looking for a great gift for a style-conscious travel enthusiast, he’ll love the detailed craftsmanship.
21. Anker PowerCore Portable Battery Pack
When you’re on the go, Murphy’s law makes it inevitable that you’re phone will run out of battery just when you need it. At those moments, you’ll wish you had the Anker PowerCore power bank by your side to give your phone a little extra juice. Despite its small size, this portable power bank packs a huge punch and is by far the best we’ve tried.
This power bank offer impressive capacity with the ability to charge your phone up to three times. And, it can keep your other electronic devices like cameras and iPads charged for days on end. No traveler should ever go on a trip without a portable power bank like this one. This is one of the best gifts for men who love to travel, hands down!
22. Cushion Lab Ergonomic Travel Neck Pillow
For men who travel frequently, the best gift may be some shut-eye on long haul flights or road trips.
I’ve had mixed feelings about neck pillows in the past, but the Cushion Lab Ergonomic Travel Pillow has an innovative asymmetrical design that fully supports the head. It also can be shifted around to support different positions, which is a huge advantage over a standard travel pillow.
This pillow rolls up into its own little travel bag—perfect for cutting down bulk on trips.
It’s worth noting that some people just don’t like neck pillows! It may be worth some discrete questions to find out if he’s one of those people. If he’s going to like any travel pillow, though, this is the one.
23. Midori Traveler’s Notebook
The Midori Traveler’s Notebook is so beautifully crafted that he will want to write in it every day. Not only that, but he can paste his favorite pieces of memorabilia that he’s collected throughout his trip. It’s perfect for journaling and storing all his important documents, photographs, train tickets, museum tickets, and more.
The interchangeable leather-bound cover gives this travel journal a beautiful vintage look. Whether he’s an artist, photographer, or simply wants to create lasting memories of travel, this unique photo book is one of the best gifts for guys who are always on the go.
24. Monogrammed Flask
I never travel without my flask. It’s one of those things that pretty much every guy needs, but almost no one has. That’s why a flask makes a great gift for the thirsty man in your life who likes to travel.
However, don’t just give him any old flask! This one is made with stainless steel and vegan faux leather, so you’ll know that he’s always traveling in style. And by personalizing the flask with his initials, you’ll be giving him an extremely thoughtful gift he’ll use on his next trip and for years to come.
25. Travel Dominoes by Walnut
I’ve been stuck for hours at airports and train stations, and having some sort of game on hand definitely helps pass the time. This set of dominoes by Walnut is the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone who travels. It may not be the cheapest gift, but it is beautiful and well-crafted.
They also make a travel cribbage board and a very special edition cribbage set! If you’re looking for unique travel gifts for the guy who has everything, then these games are the perfect addition to his travel collection.
26. The Ultimate Man’s Survival Guide
The Ultimate Man’s Survival Guide is the go-to resource for men to handle any situation out in the wild, from escaping alligators to mixing the perfect martini. More than just how to do manly things, this book also discusses the definition of manliness and the true essence of being a man in today’s world.
This is the perfect gift for the guy who wants to impress his friends (or the ladies) with his new knowledge. There are tons of fun and fascinating nuggets of knowledge that he’ll want to read and share with everyone he knows.
27. Shinesty Ball Hammocks
The Shinesty Ball Hammocks are well-supported underwear that cradles his most precious jewels. This underwear offers lots of breathing space without constantly having to be adjusted thanks to their perfect pouches.
Personally, I love the various styles and the many (sometimes silly) designs. Take the Coney Islands with their hot dog pouch, or the Christmas Vacation with a strategically placed nutcracker. Perhaps he’d prefer the more patriotic Mascot with its perfect bald eagle placement? Any option makes a great gift that is sure to bring out a few laughs.
28. Compression Packing Cubes
If packing cubes and compression sacs had a baby, they’d be these compression packing cubes. They have a compression zipper to shrink the size! Stay organized and save space at the same time.
These are perfect travel gifts for frequent flyers who need to stay a little more organized. In fact, I recommend these to all travelers looking to streamline the packing in their checked bag on their next trip.
Travel Gifts for Men Under $100
29. Kindle Paperwhite
It’s hard to argue with the Kindle Paperwhite being the best e-reader on the market. Its 6″, 300PPI touchscreen is crisp and easy to read, and the built-in backlight means he can keep reading after lights out. Best of all, the battery life lasts for weeks, so he’ll never have to worry about bringing a charger on vacation.
The fact that it is highly water-resistant means he won’t have to worry about taking it anywhere. I’ve brought mine backpacking, on road trips, to the beach, and even to relax in a hot tub.
With access to over a million books in the Amazon marketplace, he can load up his device before an upcoming trip and read whatever he wants, wherever he wants.
30. NOMAD Slim Leather Wallet
It’s hard to find a durable wallet that holds all the important stuff while traveling without being too bulky. However, the minimalist NOMAD Slim Leather Wallet does just that.
It manages to stay slim while comfortably holding up to 12 cards. There are even two side pockets to hold all your cash. And, it comes with an integrated Tile tracking system, so you’ll never have to wonder if you left it at the restaurant or in the back of a cab when traveling.

31. “Keep Calm and Travel On” T-Shirt
We all need a reminder to stay calm once in a while…and that travel solves everything, right? This t-shirt is a classic take on the same shirt popularized by The Chive, except this version suits any traveling guy.
It’s perfect for that tailored look under a sweater or sweatshirt, or to wear by itself with a pair of jeans. And since it’s made from stretchy cotton, it will keep him cozy and comfortable on long-distance flights or car rides. He can pack it with him for his adventure as a simple reminder to think about the important things in life.
32. Tinggly Travel Gift Cards
A travel gift card from Tinggly makes the perfect gift for travelers or anyone who prefers experience over things (which arguably includes most travelers!).

Adventure Travel Gift Ideas for Men

It can be hard to come up with gift ideas for outdoorsy men because it seems they already have everything. This unique cook set is a great option that will level up his backcountry cooking.
For the hardcore adventurer who loves to whip up a gourmet meal over a camping stove, the Sea to Summit X-Set 32 is a perfect gift idea. It comes with a collapsible pot, a collapsible kettle, and an 8-inch cooking pan, all of which pack down to the size of a frisbee.

It doesn’t matter if he’s trekking around in the backcountry at night or fumbling for his phone in a dark hostel room—a good headlamp is a must! The BioLite HeadLamp 330 is the best there is.
Why? It weighs only 69 grams, and the band is made up of moisture-wicking fabric to keep his head dry, even when sweaty. The best part is that it has a rechargeable battery so that he never needs to carry spare AAAs around!
36. Arc’teryx Squamish Hoody
If you’ve ever been to Squamish, BC, you know that it’s a hotspot for climbers, skiers, and trekkers—an apt namesake for this hoody!
Arc’teryx’s Squamish Hoody is a windshell that folds up into its chest pocket to form a neat little lightweight package that’s easy to take wherever he goes, making it ideal for travelers. It’s essential for wind protection and unpredictable weather, and it comes with an adjustable hood.

Plus, they’re more affordable than many insulated gloves, so you won’t have to worry about too much extra cost while you’re shopping for gifts.
39. Grayl Geopress
In many countries, the tap water is known to have harmful bacteria or other substances, so many travelers resort to drinking only bottled water. Not only is buying bottled water expensive but throwing out plastic bottles is harmful to the environment. If you’re looking to cut down on single-use plastic bottles, then look no further than the Grayl Geopress. It’s the solution for healthy, drinkable water.
The built-in filter purifies water of pathogens like bacteria and viruses from the city tap or river. It also filters pesticides, chemicals, microplastics, and even heavy metals. Now, you won’t have to worry about him getting sick by drinking from unknown sources.
