Finding presents for the people you love can be tricky. But never fear! Road Warriorette is here to give you a few suggestions for the lady traveler in your life.
Suitcase
The one thing required for all overnight trips. Ogio luggage is lightweight, durable, and the pockets will expand to amazing proportions. Mine fits into all overhead luggage carriers on normal sized airplanes.
Travel Kit and Travel Bottles
I love these Aveda travel bottles. I have used them for years and they have never leaked or broken. It’s nice to have a pump and varying shapes as well. Of course, you can’t send the cute green bag through security (make-up case anyone?), but you can pop the Aveda bottles into this clear, TSA-approved quart size bag that is infinitely more durable then that holey zipoc bag your loved one has been carrying around. And here is yet another super cute option for travel bottles! Great stocking stuffers.
Noise Canceling Headphones
There are a ton of great ones on the market. Here is a comprehensive review from CNet of top brands and a range of prices.
Pashmina
I don’t need to make another post about the Pashmina and all of its wonderful uses. Just know that it would be a perfect gift for your favorite traveler.
Travel Purse or Briefcase
This beautiful (but pricey!) Tumi bag is a great example of functionality, shape, and attractiveness in a carry-on bag. However other (less expensive) bags would be great as well.
Business Card Holder
One of my favorite blogs gives a range of pretty choices in a range of options. Good for all people with business cards, not just travelers!
Travel Yoga Tools
I would be lost on the road without my yoga. Here is a great, lightweight version of my everyday mat so your favorite traveling lady can get through her asanas without slipping on the floor on a hotel towel (been there, it’s not awesome). Another great travel-friendly option is the Manduka Equa Towel from Lulu Lemon.
Up in the Air by Walter Kirn
The book about our lives! I will watch the movie before I read the book, but I hope someone gets me this for Christmas 🙂
Kindle
I don’t have a Kindle but I want one! Don’t pack 10 books for a two-week trip, just take your Kindle. Genius.
Travel Document Holder
Great for the traveler who is flying internationally on a regular basis. Keep your boarding pass and your passport together! And this one is so bright, it will never get lost in the depths of your bag.
Travel care kit—Emergen-C, eyemask, earplugs
A few travel necessities can make a great stocking stuffer!
For yoga on the road, have you seen these sticky yoga socks?

I don’t have a pair yet but am excited to try some – seems like a good gift for a traveling yogi.
Hmmm….guess I should have looked her last weekend. 😉 Next year you need to post something like this again! And the kids kicking your seat, that sucks! Same thing happened to me the ENTIRE flight to Maui…ugh!
