One of the best Easter gifts for adults who like to travel is a travel backpack. This 40-liter backpack from Asenlin comes with three storage bags and pockets for necessities like laptops and water bottles. Built-in compression opens up space to pack everything in, while multiple handles (one at the top, another on the side, and shoulder/chest straps) make this backpack easy to grab and go.

A travel pillow is always appreciated as a gift for frequent fliers. The Travelrest Nest pillow is made of memory foam. It has a patented shape that the company claims prevents your head from falling forward and non-slip backing so the pillow stays put. It also comes with a compact pouch to keep it clean and easy to pack.

A sturdy water bottle can be an indispensable gift for travelers. An insulated Stanley Cup can keep drinks cold for up to nine hours (40 with ice) and hot for up to five hours, according to the company. It comes in virtually every color and design under the sun, but a pastel color fits the season.
Everywhere Belt Bag
A fanny pack can be a practical and stylish gift for adults who travel. The Everywhere Belt Bag from Lululemon keeps essentials within easy reach while exploring. It has two pockets (one exterior and one interior) and can be worn around the waist or across the body. We especially like the roomy, one-liter capacity for filling up with souvenirs.

Adults who travel will likely appreciate a gift of ear plugs for noisy hotel rooms and airplanes. Loop Earplugs purportedly reduce background noise up to 26 decibels and come with a travel case. They’re also made to fit all ear sizes and are comfortable enough to sleep in.
Monogrammed Luggage Tag
Monogrammed luggage tags can make it easier for travelers to find their suitcase on a crowded carousel. Etsy has luggage tags in endless styles that would make great gifts for anyone who travels. We love these vegan leather tags for their easy-to-spot vibrant colors and bold fonts.

Give the friend who likes to camp the gift of a packable hammock. Unfolded, this one can hold up to 400 pounds, according to the company, and comes with two straps and carabiners for setting up between trees. When it’s time to break down camp, simply pack the hammock into the included carrying bag and slide it into a suitcase.
Personalized Camping Mug
A personalized mug is a simple gift that an adult camper will likely appreciate. There are tons of customizable options on Etsy, but we love this forest design with multiple color options. You can’t microwave it—but you’re in the woods, after all. Sitting around the campfire sipping from a mug is part of the adventure.
Hat With SPF

A great gift for travelers who like the outdoors is a hat with sun protection. This one has UPF 50 against both UVA and UVB rays, according to the company. The moisture-wicking fabric helps keep your head cool and dry, and it comes in a variety of colors to suit anyone’s style.

Compression Socks
Compression socks may not be the most glamorous gift for a traveler, but they can be a necessity for many. They can help with blood circulation, swelling, and support during long flights or road trips. We like these colorful socks more so than the average medical-grade pairs.
Power Bank
