It’s easy to assume that all planes have outlets in the seats now, but unfortunately, that’s not always the case. And even if there is one, it might not be working. Therefore it’s a good idea to have your own battery backup because there’s nothing worse than getting to your destination with a dead phone and no way to contact anyone. These make great stocking stuffers.
Another great stocking stuffer, outlet converters always come in handy for international travelers. Grab one with a voltage converter to ensure your loved one’s appliances will work without blowing a fuse.
These are huge space savers. As an added bonus, if you travel with multiple family members at once, these are great for helping you stay organized. A personal favorite is Tom Bihn’s packing cubes which have held up well after years of family travel.

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.
