CLEAR One-Year Membership
Breezing through airport security is a very underrated perk in the travel experience. So, a one-year CLEAR membership is certainly one of the best gifts for travelers this season and would be put to good use by the frequent traveler in your life. Certified by the Department of Homeland Security, the company has dedicated lines in more than 50 U.S. airports and several event venues, so not only is CLEAR useful for travel, it can be useful to expedite entry into large public events. CLEAR uses biometric data instead of physical documents and has plans to incorporate vaccination information in the future.

Adventure Essentials Survival Kit
While this might be a surprise entry on our list of the best gifts for women travelers, this kit from Uncommon Goods is truly special. Pandemic travel reawakened an interest in the outdoors for the general population, and this survival kit comes equipped with all the incidental items one would need for a long hike or camping excursion, including an LED flashlight, matches, and a water bag.
Price: $135 at Uncommon Goods
Apollo 2 Travel Set
Listed as one of Oprah’s favorite things, luxury luggage maker Tote&Carry offers stylish eco-leather fashion pieces and travel sets in a variety of vibrant colors from purple to neon pink. Sets typically consist of a duffle bag and a backpack, and the company also offers wallets, purses, hats, and “vests.”
Price: $249.99 (sale $209.99) at Tote&Carry
Bombas Women’s Gripper Slipper
The non-slip gripper slippers from Bombas have an ultrasoft interior due to their sherpa lining. Plus, their fold-flat design makes them easy to pack. Choose from two colors: Midnight Navy or Maroon. We love that Bombas values social impact and donates one pair of socks for every pair purchased to homeless shelters because socks are the most requested clothing item in shelters.
Price: $48 at Bombas.com
Cadence Build Your 6 Bundle
One of the best gifts for travelers is certainly Cadence’s 6-capsule bundles, which is a great option for transporting liquids, serums, and small items during your travels. These hexagonal mini-storage containers are magnetic, BPA-free, TSA-compliant, and made from recycled and reused scrap plastic. Each capsule comes with one pre-selected label, such as face moisturizer or toner, but you can also create your own label for $3.
Price: $84 (sale $70) at Cadence
Gourmet Chocolates
With evocative flavors such as Strawberry Szechuan and Guava Tamarind, the chocolates from gourmet chocolatier Cacao & Cardamom are anything but ordinary. The company handcrafts high-quality products using French coverture dark chocolate and 100 percent fruit purees. Choose one of their chocolate gift boxes or build your own. These chocolates will be one of the best gifts for women travelers, no matter the season!
Packing Cubes
Shacke Pak Packing Cubes are my favorite, so it’s a perennial gift idea that keeps on giving. I never travel anywhere without them because they keep my suitcase so organized. Typically, I pack items by type, so socks and pajamas go in one cube, and outfits go in other cubes. Try it on your next trip to find out what works for you!
Gift Cards
You can never go wrong with gift cards. Plus, they’re easy to use and practically effortless to buy since you can buy them in most big-box retailers and grocery stores. The only decision is which one to choose. Most travel brands offer them, including Marriott, Airbnb, Delta, and TUMI, and others are relevant to travel as well as daily life, including Restaurant.com. and non-branded American Express, Visa, and Mastercard gift cards. With gift cards, you can literally give the gift of travel!
