    Unpopular opinion: red eye flights are better. ๐Ÿ›ฉ

Hereโ€™s why:

1. They are often cheaper than daytime flights.
2. You get an entire extra day in your destination.

Even if the red eye and daytime flights are the same price, you get better bang for your buck because you get to spend more time in your destination.

For example, we got an entire extra day in Bora Bora for free by flying on the red eye. ๐ŸŒŠ๐Ÿ’ธ

Agree or disagree?

Travel hacking!

AKA taking advantage of credit card points and credit card opening bonuses. ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ

This is just from putting all of our regular expenses on travel credit cards over the past six-ish months (groceries, house renovation expenses, clothes, etc.), paying the card off in full every month and racking up free miles.

So, what travel credit card is best, you ask?

I wish there was a simple answer, but the truth is, it depends on your personal goals as a traveler.

Thatโ€™s why Iโ€™ve created a FREE downloadable quiz (link in bio) that you can take to determine which travel credit card you should open.

This travel hacking quiz is going to tell you exactly which travel credit card is best for you, no matter if youโ€™re new to travel credit card points or a seasoned travel hacking pro.

If you take the quiz, let me know what you get!! ๐Ÿ’ฌ

(Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor, and this is not financial advice. Always consult a professional who knows your unique financial situation. Always follow credit card best practices, such as paying your card off in full on time every month.)

November 10, 2020

It’s easy to find cute travel gifts for her, but what about for him? These unique travel gifts for him for all price ranges will make your boyfriend, fiance or husband feel completely loved, supported, handsome, and, of course, excited to continue traveling (and maybe even let you tag along!).

Best Travel Gifts for Him: Ideas for Your Boyfriend, Fiance or Husband

Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. If a product is purchased using one of the following links, I may earn a small commission from the brandย at no cost to you.

Gift shopping for men can be a seemingly endless process, so allow me to make it a little easier.

All of these travel gifts for men are suitable — and suitcase-able — for Christmas, birthdays, Valentine’s Day, your anniversary and every other gifting day in between.

Plus, all of these gifts are approved by my husband, so you know your man is sure to love them too.

1. Bose Wireless Noise-Canceling Bluetooth Headphones

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

You know Bose sells the best traveling headphones when pilots are brand loyal. Yes, you heard that right. This is the brand that the majority of airline pilots use.

Not only will these wireless bluetooth headphones provide your boyfriend, fiance or husband with flawless audio, but Bose’s famous noise-canceling feature will block out all of the chatty passengers, crying babies and airplane engine noises on every flight.

2. Portable Rechargeable Noise Machine

Oh yes, more noise canceling.

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

This 29-sound, portable, rechargeable noise machine will have him sleeping like a baby in any and every hotel room.

Its small size compacts perfectly as a travel gift for him, and its wireless functioning will free up those limited and oh-so-valuable hotel room outlets needed for charging other electronics.

3. Multifunction Keychain: All-In-One iPhone Charger, Bottle Opener and Carabiner

business travel gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Even though this multifunction keychain is the lowest-priced item on this travel gifts for him list, it is also one of the most practical.

His iPhone lightning cable charger, bottle opener and handy carabiner can all now be extremely accessible to him.

4. YETI Travel Gifts for Him

YETI is top-of-the-line, without a doubt. This 30-ounce YETI tumbler will keep all of your boyfriend’s, fiance’s or husband’s hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold.

The brand also sells extremely reputable mugs, wine tumblers, lunch bags and coolers that are essentially indestructible. (Seriously, they are literally designed to keep bears from getting into your camp food.)

Many of the products are available in many colors, too.

5. Magnetic Wooden Chess Board

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

A wooden travel chess board will have your travel gift for him screaming that your man is classy, handsome, intelligent and well-cultured. What man doesn’t want to be these adjectives?

The board’s foldability makes it easy to pack, and its magnetic board will keep the chess pieces from getting lost in both transit and play.

6. Magnetic Chess, Checkers and Backgammon Travel Game Set

unique travel gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Is your man more of the fun gamer type rather than the classy wooden chess board type?

This magnetic chess, checkers and backgammon travel game set is the best alternative: still portable, still packable and even cheaper!

7. Anti-Theft Travel Laptop Backpack

cool travel gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

The five-star-rated anti-theft travel laptop backpack has numerous characteristics that make it a fantastic travel backpack: an anti-theft back pocket, numerous compartments for easy organization and a USB charging port, for example.

8. Personalized Push-Pin World Destination Map

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

This personalized push-pin world destination map takes the trendy scratch-off map to a whole new gifting level.

Every time your boyfriend, fiance or husband travels, he’ll be able to add another bright red pin to his map and be reminded of your support and generosity through the gift.

The personalized map comes with red pins to mark the places he has visited, blue flags to mark his upcoming trips, yellow flags to mark his favorite destinations and green pins to mark his dream destinations.

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Cologne bottles are often too big to pack in carry-ons. It only takes losing one $50 bottle to a TSA agent’s garbage can to learn this the hard way.

Prevent making this sad mistake by purchasing a TSA-sized cologne set or single bottle for him.

12. Handheld Electric Massager

travel gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Long, stuffy flights lead to cramped legs and stiff necks. Save his money at the hotel spa and opt for this portable handheld electric massager.

Other handheld electric massagers of different price ranges are available on Amazon here.

Leather toiletry bags are another airline pilot favorite, AKA another travel must-have. They will last throughout all your man’s travels, keeping him and his suitcase totally organized.

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Pro tip: hanging toiletry bags are my personal travel go-to, as they come in handy in limited counter space or small shower situations. Here is a manly leather alternative to the popular feminine hanging toiletry bags.

15. Apple AirPods

unique travel gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

If you think your boyfriend, fiance or husband would prefer an even more portable headphone option that still has Bose-quality audio, Apple AirPods are an unmatchably popular alternative.

The AirPod wireless charging capability will ensure that his earbuds will stay charged throughout his entire travel, and the small size will save a lot of carry-on space.

16. ‘Drive Safe’ Wooden Keychain

cool travel gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Nothing will prompt a sentimental reminder to stay safe on the road like a keychain from you that reads, “Drive Safe. I need you here.”

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Dig out your best adventure photos as a couple, grab a glue stick, sit down and time travel back to your favorite trips by creating another sentimental, personal travel gift for him with the “Our Adventure Book” photo book.

18. Airplane Footrest

Help him kick back, relax and enjoy the flight.

unique gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Although an airplane footrest can make a somewhat laughable gift (find more funny travel gifts here), it is 100% practical. Who doesn’t want to relax more and cramp less in-flight?

Plus, this footrest may not be an item that your boyfriend, fiance or husband would necessarily purchase for himself, which really separates it as one of the best travel gifts for him.

19. Carhartt Travel Gifts for Him

memorable gifts for him

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

adventure gifts

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

Yes, Carhartt is traditionally a store for the tradesman’s or hunter’s go-to apparel, but lately, the brand has taken off as trendy to the everyday adventurer.

The popular clothing line sells everything your adventurer needs from beanies to hoodies to coats. My husband has this Carhartt jacket and loves it.

20. Portable Hammock

creative gift ideas for boyfriend

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

A portable hammock will allow your man to take a well-deserved break from his mountainous hike, or give your man an opportunity to unwind outside of his business-trip hotel.

This best-selling Kootek camping hammock comes with two tree straps, durable material and a user-friendly set-up.

21. Insulated Travel French Press Coffee and Tea Maker

handmade gifts for boyfriend creative

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

I always advocate saving money for and during travel by refraining from spending unnecessary cash at coffee shops.

This insulated travel mug and french press coffee and tea maker will take away the temptation to find the nearest Starbucks and instead provide your man with a delicious morning beverage that far exceeds cheap hotel-room coffee.

22. Customizable Map and Constellation Print Travel Gifts for Him

There isn’t a more memorable way to celebrate his favorite travel destinations — or your favorite travel destinations as a couple — than through customizable home decor.

Choose the city in which you two met, his hometown or his favorite vacation spot and create a customizable map or constellation print for him.

The city maps are available in single prints, sets of three prints or sets of four prints.

The constellation maps are available in a wide range of colors, styles and fonts.

23. Picnic Backpack

business travel gifts for men

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

The ideal day-trip consists of at least one picnic.

Rather than packing a clunky lunch pale without a fun picnic blanket, plates, utensils or wine cooler, make the casual lunch stop an adventurous date. This insulated picnic backpack will make the to-be-reoccurring picnic-packing process a heck of a lot more convenient and romantic.

(Bonus points if you plan to take him on a hike to use the picnic backpack too.)

24. Nintendo Switch Travel Gifts for Him

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

If you don’t already know, the Nintendo Switch is a gaming system similar to the Nintendo Wii or the proceeding Nintendo DS.

However, the Nintendo Switch stands out from competition as the only Nintendo gaming system that is completely portable (literally, you can play in the car, plane or anywhere else) and multiplayer.

Also, there are tons of popular Nintendo Switch games to choose from, such as Mario Kart (our favorite), Super Mario Bros., Animal Crossing and Minecraft.

Don’t forget to include these extra controllers if he’ll want the chance to play with you or other friends. And, don’t forget to include this travel carrying case for on-the-go gaming.

My husband has these controllers and this travel carrying case, and he swears by them.

25. Sony Alpha a6400 Mirrorless Camera Kit (Best Travel Gifts For Him)

Now, he can capture and share all his travel memories with high-quality photos and videos.

With Sony, you are paying for high quality. First of all, Sony is recognized among professional travel photographers and vloggers as one of the best camera brands for low-light environments, background blur and video.

travel gifts for men care packages

SHOP THIS GIFT ON AMAZON

The Sony Alpha a6400 is the cheaper and still high-quality version of the newer Sony Alpha a6600. The interchangeable lens option and 4K video capability makes it much more attractive than the Canon version.

Additionally, the screen flips up to get the best selfies or vlog shots. And, the 16-50mm lens that comes in the kit will be perfect for portrait and wide-angle shots needed for beginner travel photography.

This kit will provide your traveling boyfriend, fiance or husband with all of the gear he needs and more to capture professional-level photos and videos — even as an amateur.
