10 Tech Gifts for Travelers (That They Don’t Have Yet)

When it comes to staying fully charged, any tech-loving traveler knows it’s impossible to have too many phone chargers. Get them the ultimate road trip gift with this wireless and magnetic charger that fits every car. When paired with a magnetic case, it’s easy to just stick your phone to the mount and drive—no need to worry that things might not be plugged in correctly.

Before you buy, make sure your gift recipient’s phone is capable of wireless charging. Some models, particularly iPhones, will need a special phone case or accessory to support wireless charging.

Luggage and backpacks that can also charge your devices are nothing new, but the Solgaard Lifepack does so much more than that. The removable battery pack can charge your smartphone five times before it needs to be recharged. However, what really makes this battery pack a great tech gift is that it uses solar power to recharge, which means every four hours in the sun equals another full charge for your phone. In addition to being designed to accommodate the battery pack, the backpack itself comes with plenty of great travel features—like an anti-theft lock and hidden credit card pocket—and is small enough to fit under your seat on the plane.

Many people have a hard time justifying splurging on a sturdy fancy phone case when there are so many cheaper options out there, which makes a durable and high-performing phone case the perfect tech gift for travelers. Mophie Juice Packs not only protect your phone with a thick rubber frame, but also keep it charged, serving as an external battery pack that’s impossible to forget at home.

The best tech gift you can give a traveler is plenty of good memories to take home. The second-best gift is a lot of hard drive space on which to store those memories. A large external hard drive is a fantastic tech gift for travelers. The Transcend 1TB StoreJet is a sturdy option for travel—it has been tested to withstand drops and shocks.

Help your favorite traveler travel better with a gift to help them keep their chargers and wires organized and tangle-free. The BAGSMART Travel Organizer is a great tech gift option that can hold chargers, smartwatches, and other tiny tech—there’s even a pocket for your smartphone!

Sometimes scoring the perfect tech gift for travelers means going analog. Give the gift of physical photos wherever they go with the HP Sprocket. This portable photo printer is a fun travel gift that lets you print out photos directly from your phone using an app. Don’t forget to get them extra photo paper, which features a sticky back for easy mounting.

Just because you’re going off the grid doesn’t mean you have to lose touch. The Rapid Radios LTE Walk-Talkie set is the perfect tech gift for travelers who love both technology and the outdoors. These modern walkie-talkies have more than enough power to keep your hiking group connected, with unlimited range, the ability to function without a cell signal, and the capacity to connect groups of up to 200 members.

Fitbits are great for travel, but chances are, your favorite tech-savvy, fitness-oriented traveler already has one. However, you can still treat them to a new band that will help them personalize their Fitbit. There are plenty of stylish and relatively inexpensive replacement bands available to suit every style, from a classic leather band to something colorful and metallic—just make sure they work with the recipient’s model of Fitbit.

When you’re sitting in a cramped economy class seat, everything is uncomfortable, including your headphones. Both bulky headphones and earbuds make it hard to get comfortable enough to drift off to sleep, and that’s why SleepPhones make the perfect gift. This comfortable set of headphones fits flat against your ears and looks like a headband—it can also be used as an eye mask—and is a great way to snooze comfortably on your next flight.

For a high-tech gift that caffeine-dependent travelers don’t have (but definitely need), check out the MiniPresso, a portable espresso maker. This portable gadget can save the day whether they’re waking up for an early flight or just need a little boost before a big day of sightseeing.
