It’s safe to say that many of us have a serious case of wanderlust these days, and with summer approaching, I’m already dreaming of my next vacation. Whether you’re planning a European getaway with your BFFs or a relaxing solo beach weekend, here are ten travel-inspired gifts to prepare you for wherever your post-grad adventures take you!
- Everywhere Belt Bag
-
Keep your phone, keys, and wallet safe in this versatile belt bag from Lululemon. Designed for the traveler on the move, I appreciate how it’s just the right size for any adventure and has plenty of space for your necessities.

- S’well Insulated Water Bottle
-
Avoid buying an $8 water bottle at the airport and bring a reusable one for your next trip! This insulated, stainless-steel bottle from S’well is a must-have for any travel excursion, and it keeps your beverages cold or hot for the whole day. Using a S’well bottle is not only travel-friendly, but it also helps reduce the number of plastic bottles that end up in landfills and the ocean. Is there anything better than traveling smart while doing your part?

- Carry-On Suitcase
-
If you love to travel, quality luggage is a must. My carry-on suitcase from Away is a total lifesaver, and now that I have one, I won’t travel with any other suitcase. It’s sturdy, fits in the overhead bin of nearly every airplane, and includes a TSA-approved removable battery, plenty of storage space, and a hidden laundry bag (which comes in handy every single time I travel).

- Hyaluronic Eye Cream
-
Whether you’re battling jetlag or exhausted from a long day of adventures, a quality eye cream is a must for any travel enthusiast. This hyaluronic eye cream brightens and replenishes moisture around the delicate eye area, plus it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and rich in antioxidants. I love applying eye cream in the morning to start my day off right and again in between flights to make sure I stay bright-eyed on long travel days.

- Getaway Luggage Tag
-
If you’ve ever had that moment of panic when searching for your luggage at baggage claim, a simple luggage tag can come to your rescue. It’s simple, functional, and I appreciate the cute quote that reminds you of what’s really important right now – what’s to come, not what’s done.

- Ban.do’s Getaway Passport Holder
-
A matching passport holder to match your tag? Yes, please. This one is available in several designs and features a handful of card slots inside, so you can protect your passport, credit card, and ID, all while showing off your personal style.

- Essential Oil Roll-On
-
Long flights and train rides can be exciting, but they can also be a recipe for major muscle and neck tension. As someone who is prone to getting headaches, I’ve learned to always keep a remedy handy, especially when traveling. This cooling essential oil blend comes in a travel-friendly roll-on stick that’s perfect for relieving stress, tension, and headaches — plus, the aroma of peppermint, lavender, and rosemary smells heavenly.

Caring for my health and wellness during travel is super important to me, and if you feel similarly, it may be time to invest in a quality travel yoga mat. I swear by Manduka, which makes high-quality yoga gear that’s literally built to last a lifetime. You can take this lightweight travel mat from your Airbnb to the beach and beyond, so get ready to flow on the go.

You can create a personalized book to showcase favorite travel memories, and Mixbook has many styles and layouts to choose from! As someone who’s a travel pro but not always the best at documenting my adventures, this gift gives me the motivation to take way more pictures.
