10 Perfect Gifts for Business Travelers

Short of gifting them first-class seats, these are the best things you can give a business traveler.

Getting to jet around the world on your company’s dime sounds like a dream. But it can be stressful to attend meetings while battling sleep deprivation, jet lag and wrinkled shirts.

If you’re looking for a perfect gift for a business traveler, we suggest going for these 10 outstanding items designed to make life and work easier. Trust us, they’ll be eternally grateful.

A Slick Card to Keep Track of Your Luggage

Peeble Bee Store / Amazon

Losing a wallet or luggage is the fear of every traveler. But when you’re traveling for work, the stakes are simply higher. Gift peace of mind with a Peeblebee card.

This item works similarly to Tile, but we like that it has a rechargeable battery, is water resistant, and can be used with Apple’s Find My feature or with the Peeblebee app. It is also slick enough to fit in a wallet, a pocket or any size of luggage.

It’ll be easy to track down valuables if they get lost.

A Screen Protector that Guarantees Privacy

WS Vendor / Amazon

There’s nothing worse than trying to work in an airport and feeling like everyone is looking over your shoulder. In reality, you’re never important enough for anyone (and we mean, anyone) to actually care about what you’re doing. But the psychological distress is still there.

Gift this to the person who spends 95 percent of their airport/flight time working from their laptop.

A Foldable Laptop Stand That Will Save Their Neck … Literally

Obvus

Trust us, anyone who works with laptops needs a laptop stand. And anyone who works while traveling needs a foldable stand they can take wherever they go.

Seriously, this is an item that all our friends and family are sick of hearing us rant about. But the truth is that we don’t know what we would do without our stands. This will earn you the eternal love of whoever receives it.

And a Foldable Keyboard to Go With It

Obvus

The one caveat laptop stands have is that they make a separate keyboard necessary. And while that means carrying one more piece of gear, it also makes the whole remote work experience much more ergonomic.

Obvus’ foldable keyboard stands out from the crowd with its ability to get smaller when being packed into a bag. The keyboard is so thin, it’ll barely take up space in your laptop bag.

Earbuds Designed for Better Sleep

Bose Store / Amazon

Is there anything worse than trying to sleep on a plane? Not only is it almost impossible to be comfortable, but the loud sounds of engines, children screaming and air vents are too much to ignore.

Enter Bose’s sleepbuds, designed specifically to help people catch some shuteye. Instead of giving you podcasts and music, these earbuds play relaxing sounds that drown out all the distracting sounds to help you relax.

A Hardshell Suitcase With a Laptop Sleeve

Away

Before Away’s revolutionary carry-on, travelers had to choose between the lightness and sturdiness of a hardshell suitcase and the convenience of outer pockets in a traditional suitcase.

The dilemma is no longer relevant since the beloved brand has made a hardshell suitcase with an outer pocket where you can put your laptop. Airport security lines just got much less dreadful.

A Garment Folder for That Clothing Item That Needs Extra Care

If the person you’re buying for has to go to a meeting right after checking in, this Eagle Creek folder will be a lifesaver. You simply put in your shirts, slacks and other garments, fold them and when you unpack, your items will be as perfectly ironed as they were when you packed.

The folder holds up to 15 items and has pockets that help compress them. So, you’ll also be saving space.

The Item Every Pro Traveler Raves About

Pro Packing Cubes / Amazon

We are not exaggerating when we say packing cubes changed our lives six years ago. Now, we never travel without them, even on a short weekend trip.

They’re simply the best way to keep everything in your bag organized. And they help compress your clothes so that you can fit more in less space. For a business traveler, these are both important things.

A Portable Library

Amazon

When the first Kindle was released in 2007, it forever changed the way people read. Sure, it will never be able to imitate the smell of an old book, but it does allow you to carry more books in your pocket than you could ever read.

Give your business traveler friends a much-needed break from the computer with the 32 GB Kindle Paperwhite edition. Besides handy wireless charging, it has an auto-adjusting front light, so it can be more gentle on the eyes. As a huge plus, it’s waterproof. In the unpredictable world of travel, that’s always a good thing.
