Best Travel Gifts for Him

#1 The Roku Streaming Stick

The Ruku Streaming Stick is compact and powerful and comes with a remote control. The stick itself plugs into an HDMI outlet, and it can be powered by plugging it into the wall, or by plugging the USB cable into the TV.

Business travellers are travelling for a purpose.

They are away from their families and often will try to get some work done when they are alone in their hotel room. When they do get a chance to unwind before bed, they want to watch TV, but not just regular TV. They want to watch TV as they would at home.

The compact product makes it simple to store, but it has another advantage over competitors as well.

It easily hooks up to hotel wifi. Most other competitors in the streaming market have a tough time with this. In fact, only Roku and Amazon Fire are equipped to connect to most hotel wifi systems. For Roku, setup is a breeze. In a couple of minutes, you are streaming all your favourite movies and shows. That makes this product something I don’t travel without.

The streaming stick + will give you 4K for under $75, while the streaming stick will give you regular HD programming for under $50. Perfect for any budget.

#2 Luggage

Any business traveller needs a good set of bags.

Most essential is your carry on bags. One for in-flight access, and one to store everything else on those short trips when checked baggage is not required.

There are lots of options out there, but for the young professional, I like the products offered by Herschel Supply Co. They have a range of products, from totes to duffles. Messengers to backpacks…and everything in between.

Personally, I like the Gibson Messenger for carrying a laptop, tablet, headphones, etc. for in-flight access. I like the travel backpack for shorter trips. And I like the Highland luggage for longer trips.

#3 Backup Power

Every business traveller needs backup power. You’re on your cell phone, laptop, and tablet constantly, and you aren’t always able to plug in and stay productive.

There are lots out there, but for trips and multiple devices, get one with at least 10000 mAh.

#4 Headphones

Headphones are an essential part of any travellers carry on. Any headphones will work, but over the ear gives you the highest quality sound, minimizes airplane noise…and tells fellow passengers that you don’t want to talk. No judgment. You’ve had a rough week and don’t feel like chatting.

There is actually a lot of great options for this. My favourite is the Beats by Dre Studio headphones. They are sleek and stylish while maintaining functionality and performance.

The Bluetooth works extremely well with Apple and Android, and it also has an optional wired connection included when you want to connect to the airplane entertainment system.

#5 Reading Material

#6 Laptop/Eating Wheel Desk

#7 Reading Light

Reading Light (Wireless/Up to 60 Hours/USB Charge) 

Many business travellers could use a little extra light on an aeroplane.

Personally, I always feel guilty about turning on my light on the plane as I feel I am distracting the people next to me who just want to get a little extra sleep.

This reading light is cordless and can easily be recharged using a USB Cable.

Finally, this reading light comes in 9 lighting modes (3 levels of brightness X 3 colour modes)

#8 Putting Aid

The PutOut Pressure trainer is designed on a parabolic ramp. If the ball goes over the side of the ramp it was not a good putt. If the ball is returned or in the hole, it is considered a good putt.

#9 Umbrella 

ZOMAKE Golf Umbrella 

Make no mistake, travellers need a good umbrella.  

I would not be surprised in his busy schedule if he even remembers to bring an umbrella. 

Also, there is nothing worse than a cheap umbrella so what not give a good one.

Golf Umbrellas are big and strong however they are as portable as fold-up umbrellas.  Therefore I would recommend this product for the business traveller who has an interst in golf.     

#10 Passport Holder

This passport organizer is a great gift for him. In addition to being stylish, it comes with a place to store your passport. A Slot to put your plane ticket, and credit cards.

Finally, it comes with an RFID blocker which means no high-tech pickpocket will ever walk away with your credit card numbers or digital passport information.

#11 Celestron 21035 70mm Travel Scope

A Travel Scope easily makes our list of best travel gifts for him.  This especially a good gift for someone who loves camping, wildlife, and astronomy.

This Travel Scope comes with a durable canvas backpack, tripod,  telescope, and an iOS or Android app to help you locate popular objects in the sky.

The travel scope comes with a 50 mm or a 70 mm lens which should be strong enough to view the rings of Saturn or the creators of the moon.
