Travel Must-Haves Holiday Gift Guide

Whether your 2024 plans bring you to Walt Disney World, Disneyland Resort, or literally anywhere else in the world, the holidays are a great time to take inventory of what travel must-haves you are in need of or what might need replacing. Things like suitcases, organizers, and travel accessories make excellent gift ideas if your loved ones are hitting the road and sky anytime soon!

Get ready to pack your bags!

Check out some of these great travel must-haves, many of which I use EVERY time I’m on a trip.

Large Luggage

For those who live by the mantra “better to have and not need, than to need and not have,” a larger suitcase is a travel necessity. I have been loving my Away suitcases over the past few years, but there are many other companies that also make great-quality luggage (even some with fun Disney designs!). If you’re off on a long trip or you want some extra space for souvenirs (I know I always need some wiggle room for that!), here are some bigger hardshell suitcases that would make a great holiday gift.

Carry-On Bags and Backpacks

As much as I would love to bring my entire house with my when I travel, I’ve recently been in my carry-on-only era. My Away Bigger Carry-On is my go-to bag of choice (I have the color Coast if you want to be my luggage twinsie), along with a personal item that can fit under the seat. To maximize on space, some brands have come out with amazing weekender bags and duffles. Save on those checked bag fees on your future vacations!

Travel Organizers

If there’s anything I’ve learned over the years from travel, it’s that the more organizers you have, the better off you’ll be. Whether it’s for your clothes, your cosmetics, or your accessories, making sure each item has a place makes packing and even unpacking a more hassle-free experience. My husband and I are total opposites when it comes to packing styles and it literally stresses me out so much how he’s able to put clothes in his suitcase without a single packing cube.

Anyway, here are some great travel organizers to consider this holiday season. They aren’t the flashiest of gifts, but trust me when I say they’ll be used more frequently than any other gift if you’re shopping for an avid traveler.

Travel Stocking Stuffers

I feel like I can’t write a gift guide without including at least one section devoted to stocking stuffers. From luggage tags to ID holders, giving your luggage and packing situation a little more pizzazz can bring some fun and a personalized touch to your travels.
