The last few years we have added a stocking stuffer guide in addition to our main annual gift guide. This year’s stocking stuffer guide is perfect for smaller gift ideas for the travelers in your life!
The Camper
Wallet Multi Tool
This is a great idea for the camper or outdoor enthusiast in your life! This multi tool has 50 tools in one piece that can easily slide into your wallet.
Headlamp
Headlamps are SO CONVENIENT for camping. You are often needing to do things with both hands so having a headlamp makes for easy, hands-free light.
Hydroflask Water bottle
Hydroflask water bottles are some of the best water bottles out there (you can trust me, I am a HUGE water bottle snob!) These water bottles keep water cold for such a long time. If a Hydroflask isn’t in the budget, look for a double walled, vacuum insulated water bottle. Some other good brands are Yeti, RTIC, and Simply Modern.
The Kids
Paint by Sticker Books
These are great for kids who travel a lot. Similar to paint by number but way less messy, kids simply match the sticker with the correct place on the picture to create beautiful artwork. This will definitely keep your kids busy for a long time!
Water WOW Books
These are great for kids of lots of ages! All you need to do is add water to the brush before you travel and your kids can paint pictures in the book. As they paint, the pictures change colors and reveal hidden images. Once they’re all painted, simply let them dry and they can do it again! There are lots of different brands of these, but we have found the Melissa and Doug ones to be the best. There are also TONS of different themes so you are bound to find one that matches the kid you’re giving to.
Headphones
Over the ear headphones are great for little ears. Older kids will probably enjoy a traditional looking pair of over the ear headphones while littler kids might be more comfortable with a headband style. Lucy has a pair that are the headband style and absolutely loves them when we travel!
The Flyer
Key Chain Liquid Bottles
These are great for clipping onto your carry-on or backpack for some of a flyer’s most needed items like hand sanitizer and lotion. I also love that this set comes with a cute little collapsible funnel to make filling the bottles easier!
Small Travelon Packing Cubes
We absolutely LOVE these for traveling, especially when we fly. They are the perfect size to keep your backpack or purse organized. We have a few sets of these and use them for so many things! We use one as a medicine/first aid pouch, one for our cords, one for our masks and back up masks and we also a few to help organize lots of Lucy’s things.
Gear Ties
These are great for keeping your cords organized and tangle free! Gear Ties are little rubber ties that you can loop around your cords to keep them together and not all tangled up with each other. These would be great to pair with the small packing cubes above!
The Road Tripper
Visor Clip
These little clips are great for the road tripper in your life! They easily slide onto the visor and provide a clip to help keep sunglasses, money or other small items up and out of the way when you’re on the road.
Thread Wallet
Ben and I each have a Thread Wallet and we absolutely LOVE them. It is so convenient to have a wallet with our most used cards on our keys. That way when we grab our keys we don’t have to remember our wallets! Each wallet can hold 6-7 cards and they don’t seem to bulk up your keys too much. I also have a Thread Wallet Wristlet that I really like to easily hold my keys while we are out and about.
Between-the-Seat Catcher
How many times have you dropped your phone between your seat and the center console in your car? Too many? These between-the-seat catchers are great and easy to install for the person that is in their car a lot. They simply go between the seat and the center console and easily catch anything that get dropped in that area, making it much easier to retrieve those lost items!
Other Great Ideas
Groove Life Belt (and rings)
We have worked with Groove Life before and they reached out to us when they released their newest product: The Groove Belt. This belt is super cool. The buckle is made of magnets and the belt itself is made of rugged, yet comfy material. This belt would be great for any traveler on your list because of its ease, style and durability. We also love Groove Life silicone rings! They just released their new Avengers collection and they look pretty sweet.
Watch Bands
If the traveler in your life has a smart watch, getting them a new watch band is the perfect stocking stuffer. There are TONS of styles and materials out there for smart watch bands and you are sure to find one that fits the person you’re giving to.
