Travel Nibble Gift Guide: Gifts for the Traveler

Head to your next epic trip all kitted out in these 13 gifts.

Ridge Merino Treeline Flannel Overshirt

The Treeline may have been birthed for life in the mountains, but even jetsetting cityfolk will get a lot of service out of it. The flannel is made from a blend of recycled Merino wool, Tencel, and Modal for a soft and luxurious feel. Couple this with the fibers’ natural ability to resist odor and temperature-regulate, and you have an overshirt that rightly deserves a spot in your multi-country capsule wardrobe.


Peluva Men’s Strand ATR Shoes

You may know by now the many benefits of going barefoot, but unfortunately, there are situations when it’s not an option. As a reasonable—and stylish—compromise, put on the Strand ATR. This barefoot shoe features a water-resistant, trail-specific outsole, and an EVA midsole reinforced with Kevlar fiber puncture-proof fabric.


Knog Scout Travel Electronic Luggage Tag

Knocking on wood will only get you so far when you’re traveling during the busiest time of the year. Attach this tag to your checked luggage and enjoy peace of mind that you’ll be able to monitor where it is. If you’re a minimalist who travels with only a carry-on, the same tag doubles as a luggage alarm that will make a sound should some distance get between you and it.


Snow Peak Rechargeable Mini Hozuki

One of the best uses of this cute and compact LED rechargeable camping light is not when you’re outdoors, but when you’re in your hotel. When set at its dimmest, the Hozuki lantern gives off a relaxing candle-like glow that is fabulous as a night light.


Outdoor Research SuperStrand LT Hoodie

This ultralight and ultra-packable jacket—it compresses down to palm size!—offers the best warmth-to-weight ratio that makes it ideal for wearing over base layers. The ripstop nylon fabric resists abrasions and protects you from light drizzles.


Glerups Boot with Leather Sole

These wool boots are guaranteed to take you from your apartment, to the airport lounge, to the plane, and to your hotel in total comfort. They are produced in their special wool mix, guaranteeing itch-free and durability for a long time


Thermos 24-oz. ICON Water Bottle with Spout

A reusable water bottle is a no-brainer when it comes to traveling. This 24-ounce stainless steel beauty has a non-slip base and a vacuum insulation that keeps your beverage of choice cold for hours. It also is top rack dishwasher safe.


Stellar Free Padded Pants

These meant-to-be-worn-baggy pants were manufactured using Japanese technology that integrates insulation, fabric, and stitching, for a technically impressive garment that you will want to wear when crossing time zones.


LifeStraw Home 10-Cup Pitcher

Give your Airbnb a touch of home with this sleek 10-cup pitcher. It removes bacteria, parasites, and microplastics, as well as reduce lead, mercury, and PFAS. It’s made from BPA-free plastic that’s a cinch to clean and maintain.


Otterbox Figura Series for Magsafe Phone Case

Want an out-of-this-world smartphone protector? Pick up this Figura Series case that features a photo taken by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope of the Lagoon Nebula, all the way from the Sagittarius constellation 10,600 light years away. It’s drop tested to military standards and is made from a flexible, soft-touch material.


Manitobah Men’s Modern Mocassin

This moccasin has a sleek design with a small profile that makes it convenient to pack—a plus when you’re trying to economize luggage space. The berry outsole design was created by Kaija Heitland, an artist from the indigenous Métis Canadians. It shines when you’re crossing off all points of interest downtown, but it will not feel out of place when you need to be dressed up.


Deuter Utilion Lifestyle Daypack

When visiting destinations that aren’t necessarily wheeled luggage friendly—say, a beach or a backcountry—consider a roomy day pack. The bluesign-certified Utilion is made from 100 percent recycled PET bottles and can comfortably carry several day’s worth of stuff in its 34-ish-liter interior. It features padded shoulder straps and an adjustable hip belt, and a reduced-contact surface for maximum ventilation.


Astronaut Ice Cream Banana Split Bundle

This bundle is a cool twist on a classic dessert. Both the strawberries and bananas are picked at their peak (say that five times fast), then freeze-dried to preserve their natural sugars and flavors. And the Neapolitan ice cream is a personal favorite that I enjoy eating by itself.
