07.12.2023 - 22:59 / forbes.com

Closets organized by seasons, labeled containers in the pantry, shoes laid out by style and color—we all have that friend or loved one who can’t help but organize every element of their life. If you happen to be shopping for such a person this holiday season, there’s no doubt that they’re just as tidy when they travel. Thankfully, there are plenty of accessories to help them maintain their propensity for orderliness while on the move. From a thoughtfully designed toiletry bag to premium TSA-approved containers, these are the best gifts for organized travelers.

Packing cubes are truly a game changer when it comes to maximizing luggage space, but they’re also a great way to sort clothing. And while there are plenty to choose from, these ones by Peak Design—the same company behind one of the best travel backpacks on the market—are worth every penny. They feature dual compartments to keep dirty garments separate from clean ones and a zipper that allows for expansion or compression. The cubes also boast a a unique, quick-access zip to the main compartment and the durable shell is made from a lightweight, weatherproof ripstop. They come in two sizes, three colors, and can be purchased as a set with the brand’s equally exceptional shoe pouch.

Cadence’s Capsules have become popular accessories amongst frequent travelers. These reusable, magnetic, and leakproof containers with custom labels are great for toiletries, skincare, vitamins, and more. This past summer the company released its new Flex system that includes three sizes, all of which are TSA-compliant. But for those who frequently check their bags, there’s also now the option to extend the capsules for additional capacity. (Yes, that means packing shampoo and conditioner for longer trips is easier than ever.) And with eight gorgeous colors to choose from, your loved ones can also easily tell their haircare capsules from their skincare capsules.

Away not only makes some of the best suitcases on the market, but the company has also recently been upping its accessories game. One recent addition is the Shoe Cube, which not only protects belongings from dirty kicks, but also features a collapsible divider if you’re packing multiple pairs. The water-resistant nylon fabric will keep your shoes protected from any accidental spills and the cube comes in two sizes with the larger one fitting up to a women’s US 15.5 and men’s US 14.

Sometimes the wallet you use at home won’t suffice abroad, especially if you’re keeping your passport on hand for duty-free shopping. Bellroy’s zip-around Travel Folio is a great solution with room for two separate passports, six card slots, a slip for bills, and an external pocket that’s great for boarding passes or luggage tags.
