Upgrade her eye mask to one that’s made from pure silk, like this one from Slip. In addition to hair and skin friendly-silk, the mask features a contoured design that will allow eyes to move freely (which is important for deep sleep). The shape also helps to block out light, so you can sleep better even on a brightly lit plane.

With a padded laptop sleeve, two water bottle holders, luggage handle pass-through, and plenty of pockets, this is the perfect bag for short trips, gym sessions, work, and more.

The Departure Pant’s cooling fabric offers UPF 50+ sun protection, moisture-wicking, and plenty of stretch.

Vessi Weekend Shoes

Know someone who always packs too many shoes? Gift her Vessi’s Weekend Shoes, a stylish and comfortable sneaker that’s also waterproof—so it can replace bulky boots on rainy trips. These unique shoes will not only repel rain, but also other liquids and stains—so you can safely opt for the white color if that’s your style.

Travelers headed to a cold destination this winter (or who live in one) will love Tentree’s Cloud Shell Long Puffer Jacket, which feels like a wearable sleeping bag. It’s rated for temperatures as low as 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The sustainable jacket is filled with synthetic PrimaLoft Black ThermoPlume insulation, which is more eco-friendly than down. Features like a packable removable hood, a designated cell phone pocket, and a back neck hanger loop make this jacket great for travel.

Scent is powerfully tied to memory. Bring fond memories of travel home with the Pura Smart Diffuser, which offers destination-themed fragrances like Hawaii, Ski Trip, Havana, Big Sur, and more. Travel between two different moods with the touch of a button—the unique diffuser holds two scents that can easily be switched between. The smart diffuser can be paired with an app on your phone and controlled from anywhere in the world, so you can return from a trip to a great-smelling house.

Choose from dream vacation spots like Santorini, Maui, or Italy, and enjoy the long-lasting fragrance for up to five months.  

prAna Alpine Air Jacket

prAna’s Alpine Air Jacket is the perfect gift for women who travel to hike. This ultra-packable jacket stows away into its own built-in pocket, ready to be stashed in a backpack or carry-on. Despite its light weight, this layerable shell provides plenty of warmth. The eye-catching geometric quilting pattern gives this jacket a little bit more style compared to a regular active puffer jacket.
