Travel Gifts for Her - 2024 Holiday Gift Guide
Shopping for travel lovers is my favorite kind of challenge—because the right travel gift isn’t just another thing to lug around. It’s something that earns a coveted spot in their suitcase and becomes part of all their best adventures.
But at the same time, as someone who swears by carry-on-only travel, I know it’s not about adding more baggage—it’s about finding those travel gems. The kinds of gifts that make every trip smoother, lighter, and just a little more magical. So whether you’re shopping for someone packing for their first getaway or their 100th flight, these are the travel gifts they’ll love—and soon won’t be able to travel without!
Parallelle Traveller Bag
My favorite travel makeup bag of 2024! The built-in organization is SO good—9 pockets, 2 mesh pouches, and 5 elastic loops to keep everything in its place. Plus it doubles as a makeup stand while you’re traveling. I swear by the small size for carry-on-only liquids, but the medium is perfect if you need a bit more space.
