27 Gifts For Grandparents Who Travel

First, unlike traditional neck pillows that hunch your back against the airplane seat, this Trtl neck pillow serves as a comfortable neck brace to prevent your neck from bobbing. Plus, it’s machine washable. Both my husband and I swear by these neck pillows.

If your grandparents are readers, the Kindle Paperwhite is an absolute travel essential. Save your grandparents from carrying heavy hardcover books in their luggage with this travel gift. I bought this Kindle for my husband for Christmas last year, and he uses it everyday.

Your grandparents can kiss leg cramps goodbye with these stylish Comrad compression socks. Thankfully, compression socks increase blood flow throughout the body, which is imperative when flying, especially on long-haul flights. Comrad gifted me these compression socks last year, and I haven’t flown without them since.

Similarly, as we just mentioned, long and stuffy flights lead to cramped legs and stiff necks. The Therabody Theragun Mini portable handheld electric massager will help untie muscle knots after a sleepless flight without spending hundreds at the hotel spa.

Furthermore, keep grandma’s coffee and grandpa’s tea piping hot for hours with the Ember Temperature Control Travel Mug, a 12 once battery-operated self-heating travel mug.

Next, with the Ring Video Doorbell, your grandparents will have peace of mind that their home is secure while they’re away from home.

Beis luggage is high quality, durable and has genius features like the built-in wet bag, padded handle and exterior bag clip. The luggage comes in a variety of colors and sizes to match your grandparents’ needs. As a full-time traveler, I absolutely adore my Beis luggage. You can get $15 off your first Beis purchase by using my referral link here.

Additionally, the Surblue hanging luggage organizer will make packing and hotel room unpacking as easy and efficient as possible for your grandparents.

In addition, I just ordered these PEGAI personalized leather luggage tags for my husband’s Christmas gift this year, and I can confirm that they are high quality, classy and exude luxury.

Can your grandparents be a little forgetful sometimes? Then, this gift is for them. All they have to do is put an Apple AirTag in their luggage, wallet, purse, etc., and they will always know the whereabouts of their valuables on every trip.

Next, the Kodak Step wireless mobile printer is a pocket-size printer that connects to any smartphone via bluetooth, allowing your grandparents to easily print physical copies of their travel photos. I received this exact printer for Christmas a couple years ago, and I love it.

Are your grandma and grandpa outdoorsy travelers? If they don’t already have a pair of trekking poles, these affordable Cascade Mountain trekking poles are sturdy and reliable. I just hiked across Arizona with these exact trekking poles, and they are fantastic quality for the price.

With the 23AndMe at-home DNA test kit, your grandma and grandpa will finally be able to find out exactly where their ancestors are from. My grandma received one of these tests for Christmas years ago, and she loved learning about her heritage.

Furthermore, any traveler of any age would love the Map Your Travels personalized push pin world destination map. I currently have this map hanging in my office, and I always look forward to adding another pin after every trip.

Or, every time your gift recipients travel to a new US state, they can frame a physical photo inside the designated state of this 50 States Photo Destination Map.

Otherwise, the Global Treats foreign chocolate bar box is another super unique, exciting and affordable travel gift for grandparents. I’ve personally got foreign snack boxes in my stocking on several occasions, and, trust me, this gift never gets old. The Aero mint chocolate bars are my absolute favorite.

The Skylight digital photo frame is a unique way for your family to send photos to your grandparents no matter where you — or they — are in the world. We bought my mother-in-law this digital frame a couple years ago, and she still looks at it every day.

Likewise, if you have access to some of your grandparents’ travel photos, a Shutterfly personalized calendar with their past travels would make a very thoughtful gift.

Now, there’s no wondering why Barefoot Dreams blankets have gone viral. They are made of top-of-the-line plush material for endless comfort. Thus, give your grandma the gift of never-ending coziness, and bring luxurious spa days right to her home with this Barefoot Dreams CozyChic robe.

Alternatively, a cashmere blanket scarf, like the Bloomingdale’s Cashmere Travel Wrap, will keep your grandma cozy and warm whether she’s sitting in her rocking chair or flying 30,000 feet up.

This Boundaway travel journal is no ordinary diary. It’s an heirloom. The journal boasts detailed, aesthetic travel journal prompts for countries across the world. And, it comes in a matching keepsake box.

I purchased this adorable matching set from Amazon earlier this year, and it serves as the perfect travel outfit. It’s fashionable, comfortable and the perfect warmth level for short flights. However, order a size up for long legs and/or curvy hips.

Similarly, like I mentioned earlier, I’m in love with all of my Beis products. The Beis Weekender Bag is no exception. Additionally, the bag now comes in a fashionable plaid pattern, which I find perfect for grandmothers.

Perhaps, your grandpa is a seasonal snowbird or an avid cruiser. Regardless, he’ll need a tropical shirt to match his travels. This tropical shirt from L.L. Bean is the perfect way to wear a tropical shirt without being a tacky tourist.

Or, save your grandpa time in over-priced airport bars and money on expensive in-flight beverages with this TSA-approved carry-on cocktail kit. Although you’re legally not allowed to bring your own alcohol through security and onto the plane, you can use the mix inside this fun kit with a simple drink from the onboard services to make a delicious cocktail (or mocktail).

Next, an occasional hobby cigar is the trademark of a man who travels. Set ease to his vacation cigar packing with a travel cigar humidor like this one. I bought this one as a travel gift for my dad last Christmas, and he actually still uses it.

Now, I don’t know about your grandpa, but my grandpa loved to birdwatch in his backyard and beyond. So, a new pair of high-quality binoculars, such as these affordable Nikon Prostaff binoculars, would be the perfect addition to his trip essentials.

Moreover, if you’re grandpa loves to spend time in the sunshine — whether he’s gardening, hiking or relaxing on the beach — he would put a new sunhat like this rain and sun hat from L.L. Bean to good use.

Finally, my husband got a crossbody bag for Christmas last year, and he loves to use it on every trip. For example, the Beis Sport Sling has plenty of room for grandpa’s wallet, passport, travel documents and even his water bottle. Honestly, I love all Beis products as a traveler, and this bag is no exception. Click here to activate $15 off your first Beis purchase.
