The Best Luxury Gifts for Travelers
Our luxury gifts for travelers list is all about that special something that you can afford to give to your special someone. In the spirit of splurging just a little bit for a loved one with exquisite tastes, we present our 2023 luxury gift guide for baby boomer travelers.
You'll find gifts for her, gifts for him, and a selection of fun travel products that say you went the extra mile in gift giving. There are also choices for travelers who are staying close to home.
Luxury travel gifts for her
Finding travel gifts is not an easy task. Not to worry, I've done the shopping research for you. I've scoured the Internet to find elegant gifts virtually guaranteed to put a smile on any boomer woman's face come Christmas morning.
Carry her stuff in style
Why do women carry so much stuff? Sorry, ladies, but it's true. Chalk it up to wanting to be prepared for any occasion. If there's a woman who wants to be well prepared on your luxury gift list, these items will help her carry that stuff in style.
When it comes to luxury gifts for her, nothing beats convenience. I've featured foldable travel bags before but The Foldie is my new favorite. She can pack the bag folded neatly into a carrying pouch on the way to her trip. When it's time to return home, she can bring out this expandable tote bag to carry the purchases she made. The Foldie also works well as a carryon for those strict size requirements on European airlines. And it has a trolley sleeve to fit over the handles of her rolling carryon. Comes in lots of cute colors.
Meet the new fanny pack. Your favorite woman luxury traveler will appreciate this faux leather cell phone purse that she can wear in front to thwart pickpockets. The crossbody bag is large enough to hold her phone, passport, some credit cards and money but small enough to make any minimalist traveler happy.
Here's a jewelry travel organizer that will safely hold her earrings, rings, necklaces and more. Made of vegan leather, the Cosmiya Jewelry Roll comes in black and has a special section for holding necklaces so they don't tangle with other jewelry.
Litt Bag by Pursel, with LED lights, certainly deserves a spot on the unique travel gifts list. Have you ever tried to find something in your bag while the plane or train lights are out? It's frustrating right? Put an end to fumbling around in the dark with this ingenious bag that has two little led bulbs that light up when the bag is opened.
Yeti makes more than coolers. This all-purpose Yeti waterproof utility tote is perfect for the beach or on the boat. Durable quality makes this a gift that any woman luxury traveler would appreciate. And it comes in several colors.
Pamper her with a luxury gift of beauty
Encourage the woman on you luxury gift list to take care of herself. We’ve found products that will pamper her from head to toe.
Give her a beauty regime that will last the entire cruise. The SkinMedica Minis collection includes facial wash (2), HA5 rejuvenating hydrator (fabulous moisturizer), Total Defense and Repair sunscreen, and Lumivive Day and Night (protects against blue light and pollution). I am a happy consumer of SkinMedica beauty products. While the line is pricey, the quality products last a long time because you only need to use a little dab.
She can't look her best with puffy eyes! The RENPHO eye massager comes with heat, vibration, and compression. The rechargeable battery allows her to take this mask anywhere and the Blue Tooth function allows for streaming her own relaxing music. Many boomers (including me) develop dry eye syndrome as they age. This mask can help, but consult your doctor, first.
Travel can dry out your lady traveler's lips but the Jane Iredale Just Kissed Lip and Cheek stain will hydrate her lips with a long-lasting color that adjusts to her body chemistry. I use this PH-activated formula for custom color that lasts most of the day. My favorite colors are Forever You and Forever Pink.
No more peering into a hotel mirror with bad lighting for your woman traveler. Give her a foldable, double sided tabletop mirror. Yes, it's rechargeable and has 3 colors of light. This two-sided (1x and 10x) adjustable mirror folds for easy packing and comes in two shapes...round or rectangular.
Surrounded by Cubic Zirconia and your choice of 14k/18k gold or rhodium plated surround, this SYKB case turns an Apple Watch into a sophisticated-looking timepiece. From brunches in five star hotels to rustic dinners at a Montana dude ranch, this is a wonderful gift that any boomer woman would love to wear.
It's perfect for luxury cruise wear, especially on formal nights when you can't give up technology. Every woman needs a little glitz in her life, right?
Your luxury travel gal can relive her trip to France with La Chatelaine Luxury Soaps. This plant-based, French-crafted soap collection is made with organic shea butter. Purchase a set of 6 (Lemon Verbena, Cherry Almond, Coconut Milk, Shea, Wild Fig, Gardenia).
Did you know that a silk pillowcase keeps hair from knotting up? And it reduces facial wrinkles, too. This 100% Mulberry silk pillow comes in an assortment of colors. It's silk on both sides.
Let's face it. As boomer women age, eyebrows and eyelashes go missing. RevitaLash Cosmetics to the rescue! The company makes a serum for lashes and brows to thicken and rejuvenate them. The travel size kit that includes RevitaLash Advanced 1.0ml & RevitaBrow Advanced 1.5ml is perfect for trying out the products or for taking them on your next trip.
Give her something warm and cozy
Staying warm and cozy is definitely a travel luxury. Give your boomer gal a gift to add comfort to her journey, whether she's traveling by plane, ship, train or automobile.
LilySilk pajamas come with a v neck, notched collar and white trim accents. Available in a variety of colors, LilySilk pajamas provide the luxurious ending to a day of travel.
Fishers Finery has created a cashmere wrap that she'll love to wear...on the plane...on the ship...anywhere. Knotted fringe completes the look. And with several neutral colors to choose from (I like the light gray), this cashmere shawl goes with everything. Lucky you, this luxury gift comes wrapped in a black label gift box, too.
She'll be the envy of other travelers when they see your travel gal pull out her cashmere travel set. A blanket, eye mask and socks are tucked into a cashmere carry case that doubles as a pillow case for those long international flights.
Warm feet are the key to a fun winter travel adventure. Your luxury lady will keep her travel toes toasty warm with Snow Deer heated socks. They are powered by a rechargeable lithium battery. Spoiler alert: men like warm toes, too, so purchase an extra pair for him.
Whether your luxury travel lady is on a trip or busy running errands at home, this Totes reversible poncho is a stylish way to stay warm and dry. The one-size-fits-all poncho comes in black or red.
Splurge by giving your lady Ted Baker Bhunni Slippers. Who doesn't like wearing luxury on their feet?
Luxury Travel Gifts for Him
Shopping for men doesn’t always have to mean purchasing practical, manly items. Many boomer men love to mix a bit of luxury into their adventures. And why not? They’ve earned it! Take a look at some items we think are perfect for the renaissance boomer man on your gift list.
Your boomer gentleman will look snazzy in this water repellent wool fedora from Scala. It's ok to scrunch it up in the suitcase because this hat is crushable. Comes in several colors.
Give him the luxury of convenience with a toiletry care set that includes everything he probably forgot! The 25-piece travel size toiletries come in a TSA approved see-through bag. He'll appreciate the premium products like Crest toothpaste, Scope mouthwash, even a razor and nail clippers.
Forget the Dopp kit, he deserves to hang his toiletries in a bag, too. The KOMALC genuine buffalo hanging toiletry bag for men has a timeless style. And the leather design is easy to clean and water resistant. This is a wonderful luxury gift for the man on your list.
Pamper him with a SpaLusive luxury spa gift set. The sandalwood scent is fresh and naturally calming. And the carrying case is great for travel. What's inside? Hair & Body Moisturizing Wash, Nourishing Bath Soap, Hydrating Body Lotion, Exfoliating Body Scrub, Detoxing Bath Salts, and a Pouf.
Not inexpensive but the golfer on your list is going to love this watch! The Garmin Approach S40 is preloaded with 41,000 golf courses from around the world. Your man can measure every day activity then record every shot he takes on the course.
Your camping guy will appreciate this Wise Owl Outfitters portable hammock. Comes with tree straps and can even be used indoors. There's a double hammock option, too.
Luxury on a road trip means his vehicle works. Here's a comprehensive car kit with jump starter( 12V 1000A, up to 6.0L Gas, 4.0L diesel engine), car battery booster, 18 in 1 emergency escape multi-tools, window breaker, seat belt cutter, alarm, SOS flash.
The Best luxury travel accessories gifts
Arriving in style is part of the fun, don’t you think? While you’ll find plenty of items in our luggage and luggage accessories list on Amazon, I’ve pulled out a few innovative accessories for this travel gift guide, not to mention some must-have items to enjoy during a trip.
Does your luxury traveler get seasick, carsick, or motion sickness? The motion of the ocean is not my friend on luxury cruises. But I've solved that problem with the EmeTerm anti-nausea wrist band. As soon as I begin to feel nausea, I smear conductive gel on the underside of my wrist, strap on the EmeTerm, turn it on, and within minutes, this tiny tens unit has sent a message from my median nerve to my brain telling it to turn off that nausea feeling. Works like a charm!
Apple AirTags were the hit of the 2022 travel season and they are still just as popular. Ask any boomer traveler traveling in Europe who worried this summer about lost luggage. Those who tucked an Apple AirTag into their bag knew exactly where their luggage was located.
After a hectic day on the go, every luxury traveler deserves a bit of relaxation. Some folks enjoy soaking in a tub. But what about those who prefer showers? Give them a 15-pack of shower steamer aromatherapy bombs from Body Restore. Individually packaged (I like that!), these eucalyptus shower bombs offer relaxation and stress relief for women and men. What great Christmas stocking stuffers!
A Frehore insulated leather bag that carries wine or a meal. The luxury 2 bottle carrier is the ideal gift for women or men. And there's a place for the corkscrew!
Phone Charging Passport Holder Travel Case with Power Bank is a sharp way to carry all the important travel documents in one place, and charge your phone on the go. With eight colors to choose from, you don't have to choose the black one. And it's RFID, too.
Yeti quality in a 26 oz vacuum insulated bottle with triplehaul cap. Keeps drinks cold and coffee hot. Choose from an assortment of colors.
Travel in Luxury at Home
Once your favorite luxury traveler returns home, recalling travel memories is part of the fun. Remind them of their favorite trips with travel items for the home.
Ahh, the luxury of nature! Give your traveler a beautiful reminder of their wildlife watching trip. This 5 panel HD printed painting is ready to hang. [50''W x 24''H]. Perfect for the loft, game room, or his office.
If you're a boomer who suffers from poor circulation in your legs, this compression foot and leg massager just may be the answer. Put it on after returning home from a long, international flight, turn on the heat, then choose your level of massage intensity. While I wouldn't recommend taking the massager on short trips, it could come in handy on that World Cruise you've always planned. Great for edema and varicose veins, too.
A glass ornament to remind your luxury traveler of a favorite journey or of trips to come. A lovely travel reminder for the Christmas tree.
They'll be reminded of the trip every time they store items in storage boxes decorated with antique world maps.
Your luxury traveler can prominently display the Scotch whiskey that she bought in Scotland. Drinking it out of the etched globe glasses only adds to the experience.
Give him the world with a high quality Giclee HD picture canvas stretched over a real wooden frame. Perfect for an office or a man cave.
This Ravensburg puzzle globe will bring back plenty of travel memories. Easy click technology lets you know the pieces are in the right place. Meant to be displayed after puzzle is completed.
4 pillow covers with geographical quotes to inspire your luxury traveler's next trip.
After a long trip, sometimes you need to ease back into every day life. Keep the luxury going a little longer with a decadent box of Godiva Truffles. You'll be whisked back to memories of that trip to Brussels where you toured the Godiva chocolate factory.
