The Best Stocking Stuffers for Travelers Priced Under $10
It’s that time of year, time to buy big and small gifts for your loved ones, and small gifts for those you don’t really care about. And I’m here to make all of that easier for you.
I’ve got fifteen stocking stuffers under $10 for the traveler in your life.
First stop, one of my favorites. Packing Cubes! And yes, I get excited about these, because packing cubes help you fit more in your luggage, stay organized on trips, and cut down on the chaos. They are a must have for travelers, and the perfect gift for anyone who takes even one trip a year.
Have you even been in a hotel room that didn’t have accessible plugs near the bed. So then you gotta plug your phone in across the room and get up whenever you need it. I don’t know about you, but it’s super annoying. So I started traveling with a 6-foot charging cable. It may not be able to cross an entire room, but I’m usually not stuck in the desk chair when trying to scroll on the ‘gram.
One of the hardest parts of frequent travel is packing. Give your people the tools to make it easier like these shoe bags. They help keep your clothes clean and your suitcase organized.
Disinfecting wipes might seem like a weird gift, but to a frequent traveler, they look like love. You care enough about them and their health to want the best for them.
Planes, trains, and hotel rooms are disgusting germ-filled places. Give the ones you love the tools to fight those germs.
One of the hardest parts of packing is making sure none of your favorite toiletries are over 3.4 oz. I don’t want to waste money buying expensive travel sizes of the products I like, so I buy the large size to keep at home and small empty containers to take with me. I fill them with my regular products, and go on my merry way.
One thing you’ll never catch me on a plane without is a comfy scarf. And I have this exact scarf and it is so damn comfortable. It’s the perfect size to wrap up in when they put the air on blast on the plane, and the temperature drops 15 degrees.
LIP CHAP!!!! The more you travel, the more important lip care is. Yeah, hella things get more important the more you travel and this is a small one, but we’re talking stocking stuffer sized gifts, not plane tickets, so let’s solve some small problems. Airplane air will dry you out completely, and nobody wants chapped lip.
This is the perfect stocking stuffer for anyone frankly, because nobody wants to be out here ashy-lipped, but everybody gets caught slipping once in a while. Supergood is a great line for sunscreen, so this is a fancy lip chap at that.
Resistance bands have been my go to exercise tool for strength training when I travel. I don’t stay in places with gyms often, so resistance training is my savior on the road. I’m always looking up new workouts on Youtube and Instagram, and you can find a lot of great ways to work up a sweat with these.
I know I don’t have to explain why you need a raincoat. So if you or your loved one don’t have one you can fold up and throw in a carryon bag, grab this one for just a few bucks. Comes in multiple colors too.
I hate trying to figure out what type of electric converter I need in each country, so I just carry one converter that works in most of them. It even has two USB ports (along with regular outlets) so you can plug in multiple items at a time. I own this exact same one and cannot recommend it enough.
I mean, can you even? They have multiple colors. So maybe you need to get multiple colors too. It’s the cutest little travel umbrella ever.
I carry so many SD cards with me when I travel. I learned the hard way that if you just have one, and that one gets corrupted, then you’re SOL. So be better than me and carry more than one card with your photo equipment.
Compression socks. A life saver. Literally. I never get on a long flight without them. Yeah, they can’t guarantee that you won’t get a blood clot mid-flight, but they can significantly decrease the risks.
Melatonin is my trick for falling asleep in long flights and beating jet lag when I get to my destination. Anyone traveling without this is missing out, and messing up their sleep patterns.
Okay, this is not very sexy. I’ll be the first one to admit that. But if you know someone traveling far from home this year, you shouldn’t let them leave without activated charcoal. I mean, if you care about them and their health.
Once a rumbling tummy starts, activated charcoal is the perfect thing to calm it down and get things back to normal.
So that’s it. That’s my list of the 15 best stocking stuffers for travelers on Amazon. If you’re looking for a last minute gift for a Secret Santa exchange, grab something on this list and get it delivered asaptually.
I hope this made Christmas shopping easier for you. Let me know in the comments if you have any of these items, or if you’re buying them for someone else.
