Travel gift guide: Creating the goodie bag

Here's how to create a holiday travel goodie bag with Christmas gifts for travelers.

1. Pick the main feature 

The central piece should be the big luggage for all those clothes, devices, toiletries, and other gear. Need some travel gift ideas? 

Carry-Ons: The Carry-On or Bigger Carry-On

Away's award-winning Carry-On and Bigger Carry-On are the ultimate choice for the jet-setter ready to see the sights. Durable, smooth rolling—check out those 360 wheels—and full of inner compartments and compression, our Carry-Ons let you pack like a maximalist while traveling like a minimalist. Most importantly, the Carry-On fits most domestic and international airline overhead bins, and our Bigger Carry-On works for most major U.S. airlines. They're the perfect gift for travelers who love to get up and go with no checked pieces holding them back.

You can also create a travel uniform with matching or mix-and-match suitcases and bags. As a dynamic duo, the full travel uniform pairs pieces for flexible travel and all the organization your loved one needs. Carry-on luggage sets are another gift any traveler would love. Plus, you'll love the savings! Available in sets of two or three, Away suitcase sets keep travel effortless with versatile pieces and enough room for clothing, devices, and other essentials—wherever you travel.

Checked luggage: The Medium, The Large, or The Trunk

If you're shopping for someone who can't bear leaving home without those creature comforts, you might find checked luggage is a better gift choice. Consider Away's Medium, Large, or Trunk luggage. Each suitcase provides room for one to two weeks of travel—sometimes even two or three weeks for our Large and Trunk suitcases. They all feature our signature compression system, plenty of grab handles, and traveler-approved 360 wheels, and are available in both water-resistant hardshell and Softside options. 

Whether traveling for business or pure adventure, there's more than enough room for outfit changes, souvenirs, or whatever else brings them joy—portable coffee machine, anyone?

Duffle: The Outdoor Duffle 55L, The Outdoor Duffle 70L, or The Outdoor Rolling Duffle 85L

Sometimes, adventurers want to keep things casual. The Outdoor Collection includes The Outdoor Duffle 55L and The Outdoor Duffle 70L, perfect for travelers who crave the simple life. These duffles have lightweight but hard-wearing and water-resistant polyester designed for spontaneous trips to the mountains, the desert, and everywhere in between. Looking for versatility? Detach the straps and reattach them in the top-facing slots. Instant backpack! Now that's a travel gift worth giving.

What if your loved one has a different approach to outdoor travel? Consider The Outdoor Rolling Duffle 85L, which gives more room and has handy wheels, a trolley handle, and four grab handles for hassle-free hauling. The hardside base protects against rugged rides from the Australian Outback to Marrakech, while the inner proprietary Flipfold Frame makes packing easier than finding your passport. 

2. Travel bags are the perfect addition to any travel gift

Next up: those portable side pieces that let you see and touch the world as you travel.

Backpack: The Transit Leather Backpack, Featherlight Backpack, or Everywhere Zip Backpack

City-bound? Countryside adventure? There's a backpack for that. Our Transit Leather Backpack has a high-quality DriTan™ leather and canvas exterior, sleek design, and wraparound zipper. Along with comfy straps and all the storage pockets we could pack in, this backpack will become your BFF on the road. 

For lightweight travel, look no further than our Featherlight Backpack. It has the inner compartments of your dreams—plus a laptop pocket and extra-durable straps. Our Everywhere Zip Backpack is another fan favorite, with a water-resistant exterior, storage compartments galore, and a full wraparound zipper. Whoever said backpacks are just for students? These travel pieces bring a newfound freedom to your adventures.

Crossbody: Featherlight Sling Bag or Large Featherlight Crossbody

When you're checking out the city sights, it pays to travel light but roomy. Enter Away's Featherlight Sling Bag and Large Featherlight Crossbody. Leave the big suitcase at your hotel and slip on a comfy crossbody bag. Voila! Sightseeing made easy. 

With water-resistant construction, inner compartments, and adjustable straps, crossbodies store everything fromto phones and sunglasses. Our Large Featherlight is also big enough for a water bottle, favorite device, or travel journal. The perfect Crossbody gifts let jet-setters explore everything from narrow back streets to busy squares with all the essentials in tow. 

3. Travel accessories make the perfect stocking stuffers

You can make your gift even more fun with stocking stuffer goodies. 

Accessories? Yes, please

Whether getting ready for desert adventures or mountain ascents, your loved one might appreciate a place to store their footwear. Our Shoe Cube is just the thing to keep trail-worn shoes separate from the rest of their gear. Another handy accessory is our Circle Zip Pouch for storing credit cards or some Japanese yen bills—or maybe Euros? Turkish liras? Norwegian kroner? 

Need more travel gifts? Consider the Micro Everywhere Bag. It's small but mighty—perfect for lip balm, cards, earbuds, and other must-haves. For the traveler who loves to stay organized, Away's Insider Packing Cube Set gives them more room than they thought possible—thanks to the nylon construction that works with our compression straps. 

Show off your style with personalized luggage tags

Luggage Tags help identify your stuff, especially when you opt to personalize them. Away's personalization tool lets you add up to three letters to stamp onto your tag. We're all about those real-world adventures.

Did you know? Away also offers personalization for suitcases, totes, backpacks, and other Away products. Hardshell luggage features printed personalization, while fabric products have embroidered detailing. Customizing their gift brings a special touch and also helps make baggage claim a breeze! 

New luggage is the best holiday gift

Your suitcase travels with you on each adventure, which means one unavoidable truth: wear and tear. Luggage takes a beating over time, so it's always nice to replenish the supply—and it's always fun to give and get! Luggage is already a reflection of its owner's style, but with personalization options, you can turn a new travel bag into a one-of-a-kind gift. 

Luggage is more than a place to keep your stuff. It's your home away from home, which means accessories and storage compartments that keep everything within reach are crucial. A practical gift to keep a traveler organized says both, "I got you" and "Here's a gift you won't have to return."

Let's add a gift card or a self-gift

Maybe your loved one likes to pick their own gift. We've all been there. If so, they'll find much to love with an Away Gift Card you can customize with heartfelt messaging. Our digital cards extend the joy of gifting and let them choose the perfect travel piece.

Have your gift purchases led to a wish list of your own? We've been there too! If you've found travel pieces that speak to you, maybe it's time to indulge in a bit of self-gifting. Hard-wearing, long-lasting, and functional pieces are always in style and can bring the perfect opportunity to get out and travel.

Holiday gifts they can't wait to use

When selecting travel gifts, the pieces you choose should be as unique as the person getting them. The perfect travel gifts should be a blend of high quality and functional. Money well spent? We think so, too. 

Away means long-lasting quality and thoughtful style that's sure to become your—or anyone's—constant travel companion. Let's get gifting and exploring.
