3. A world scratch-off map for remembering their favorite destinations and finding new places to visit. The countdown to their next cool trip starts now.

7. A 3D-contoured sleeping mask to block out annoying light and help them rest while they're in transit. It's not fun to be woken up by someone's bright TV screen or a half-opened window shade.
8. A Pinch Provisions travel kit so they'll be prepared for minor inconveniences that may occur during their ride in the clouds. (Hangnails, dry hands, and bad breath can be resolved at cruising altitude.)

12. A travel-friendly case that'll securely hold bar soap and help them cut back on plastic toiletries while they travel. This pretty storage solution prevents bar soap from getting dirty and has small holes for quick drying.
Promising review: "This is such a unique product. I've been trying to implement solid soaps across my everyday routine more to lessen up on the amount of plastic I purchase, and that includes my makeup brush soap. This design is really interesting and I like that the holes on the bottom of it can drain out any buildup. It will help my soap last longer by being stored securely and not getting that goopy problem that some of my shower solid soaps get when they're exposed to water too frequently and not stored/drained properly." —Anisa Beauty Customer
Get it form Anisa Beauty for $20.
13. A foot hammock so they can sit back and relax while spending time in the air. They may not be at their vacay spot yet, but at least they can prop their feet up on the way there.
14. A vegan leather backpack that'll keep their goods safely stashed from takeoff to landing. This sleek bag comes with a roomy main compartment and two anti-theft pockets for important essentials.

Promising review: "This thing truly packs a punch. I could fit everything I needed for an overnight hotel stay plus seven-day cruise to the Caribbean. Passed through TSA checkpoints without any problem, too. The sturdy build and tough zipper make this a quality toiletry pouch. Very happy with my purchase!" —Orange Blossom
Get it from Amazon for $12.99 (available in 11 colors).
22. And a hanging toiletry bag with so much room for all their beauty and grooming essentials. It has four compartments that'll hold anything from brushes to large lotion bottles. They'll love packing everything up in this compact storage solution that easily fits in a suitcase.
Promising review: "Seriously?! Do you see how much this holds?! Full shampoo bottles, face washes, hair brush...everything I could need or want to bring, FITS IN THIS ONE BAG! And it’s so cute! Feels like great quality too — all the hardware came with protective wraps to keep from scratching and the zippers feel very hardy. The hook at the top is also VERY WELL SECURED to the bag, it’s double stitched to the top panel and almost feels like seatbelt material. And I love the extra pockets and netting inside. I would absolutely recommend this!" —mahea_c
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in three colors).
23. A pair of soft joggers, because they'll be so comfy while they travel through the airport, board a flight, and sit in a plane seat for hours. They have an elastic waistband, are made with a lightweight fabric, and come in lots of colors for easy dressing.
24. A portable jewelry organizer to keep all their baubles organized on the go: it has separate sections for post earrings, necklaces, and rings. If they're done with jewelry getting all tanged up on trips, this pretty carrier will be a big help.
