For book lovers who want to travel light, an e-reader is an easy way to bring an entire library without weighing down a carry-on. Cate M., an American Airlines flight attendant, says her Kindle is her favorite travel accessory. “My Kindle Paperwhite is always in my bag, with multiple books downloaded on it. I read so much when I’m flying, and as much as I love the feel of a real book in my hands, bringing three books with me every trip just isn’t feasible.” She also uses her library card to download e-books for free. The latest Kindle Paperwhite features a 7-inch glare-free screen, a waterproof design, and up to 12 weeks of battery life.

A perfect complement to a tablet or e-reader gift, a remote page turner lets you flip pages without constantly reaching for your device. Cate says, “It makes reading on the Kindle so much easier! Whether you are snuggled up on the couch or at the beach, this page turner can keep your hands free and allow you to drink coffee or have some snacks while reading.” The device uses radio frequency (RF) technology, which means you simply tap the button on the ring to turn the page — no need for WiFi or Bluetooth. It's compatible with most Kindle models and select tablets, including iPads.

Give the gift of a good hair day with this travel-friendly thermal blowout brush. Corporate flight attendant Gabrielle Rodriguez says it’s her favorite hairstyling tool for use on the go: “It’s dual voltage, so I just use an adapter anywhere in the world I am. I don’t really like trying to style my hair with a blow dryer because the ones in hotel rooms are all so different. This is quick and easy to use and gets me out of my room and onto my layovers in 15 minutes.” Gabrielle recommends pairing this brush with a good travel adapter and a heat-protectant spray to keep hair healthy and protected during long travel days.

Flight attendants visit more countries than the average traveler, so they know a thing or two about keeping their electronics charged anywhere in the world. Gabrielle recommends this universal travel adapter, compatible with power outlets in more than 200 countries: “I was gifted one when I graduated from flight attendant training,” she says. “I keep one or two in my bag for any trip I work. If I have a last-minute change of schedule, I have my adapters ready for anywhere I’m sent.” The 100W adapter has four USB-C and USB-A ports, along with an intelligent chip that adjusts power output to help protect your devices and enable fast charging.

Frequent travelers will appreciate these zipper pouches that keep small travel items tucked away and organized. They’re a favorite among flight attendants like Gabrielle. “These reusable bags are so easy to keep near my packing area and so versatile,” she says. “I use them for everything. I store my chargers in one and even my purse items, so transferring them into my purse at home is easier. I also love that I’m not using single-use plastic bags.” Made from lightweight, waterproof, tear-resistant mesh with color-coded tops, the bags come in a range of sizes and colors.

This hoodie is perfect for staying snug during long flights and cozy in chilly airport terminals. Cate says it’s one of her favorite recent travel purchases because it’s comfortable and functional. “It’s so warm and cozy, there are so many pockets, and it has a built-in eye mask. The hood is big enough so that when you are using it, it covers your whole head and the eye mask covers your eyes.” There are eight pockets in total, and with more than a dozen colors to choose from, this hoodie is a great gift to keep the frequent flyer in your life stylish and warm on the go.

Looking for a chic bag that can be used as a personal item to maximize your carry-on allowance? Jackie Z., an American Airlines flight attendant, recommends the Luka Mini Duffel: “I got this bag for Japan travel and [in my opinion], it’s perfect. Fits under the seat, doesn’t feel heavy, fits all my personal items.” The bag is packed with practical storage features, including a hidden security pocket and two exterior water bottle pockets. Jackie loves the bag so much that she also has the regular-size Luka Duffel, too, which makes a great carry-on.

Any flight attendant will tell you that self-care is important, even (or especially) when you’re away from home. Sheet masks make a thoughtful gift for a frequent flyer in need of a refreshing skin boost. Gabrielle uses individually wrapped face masks during busy travel weeks: “I feel like after a few days of flying, my skin starts to look dull and tired, which makes me feel dull and tired. These are the perfect pick-me-up for both problems.” Whether it’s after a busy day of sightseeing or a long night at the airport, these hydrating sheet masks slip easily into a carry-on for a little spa moment on the go.

This practical gift is perfect for the traveler who seems to have everything. A dedicated laundry bag keeps worn clothes separate from clean outfits and makes unpacking a little easier when you get home. Gabrielle loves that this bag is reusable: “I started using the plastic bags the hotel rooms usually have, but that was a lot of plastic waste, and the bags weren’t very durable. The hotel plastic bags also don’t close completely, so dirty clothes can still fall out.” Designed with travel in mind, this bag holds up to 22 pounds of laundry while weighing only 2.6 ounces. Even better, it’s machine washable, making it easy to refresh after each trip.

Keep dirty shoes separate from fresh clothes with these handy travel shoe bags. Gabrielle has been using them for more than a decade — as long as she’s been flying. “Shoes are so dirty, especially after walking around big cities all day,” she says. Depending on shoe size, each bag fits one to two pairs, making it easy to keep muddy sneakers, dusty sandals, and other dirty shoes contained. It’s one of those small upgrades that can make a big difference.

For solo travelers or anyone who wants peace of mind, a portable door alarm makes a unique and thoughtful gift. Cate recommends this door stop alarm for hotel stays: “It’s easy to carry with you and gives a nice added layer of protection.” She adds a word of advice: “The alarm is really, really loud! Make sure to switch it off before you put it in your bag, so as not to set it off by mistake.” Small and portable, it’s an easy addition to a travel safety kit.

For the traveler who loves being camera-ready, this mini curling iron makes a great gift. Plus, its dual-voltage design makes it suitable for use in many countries — just ask Natalia M., an American Airlines flight attendant. “I got this when I was based out of San Francisco, and I love flying standby to different countries, and I have never had an issue! It’s amazing!” She adds that it even works on thick, curly hair. The versatile tool can also be used as a hair straightener, making it a convenient two-in-one option for travelers who want to pack light.

Compact and chic, this padded nylon bag fits much more than you’d expect, from a 32-ounce water bottle to an iPad Air. It’s ideal for the traveler who is always off on weekend getaways or spends hours exploring new cities on foot. Jackie says, “I’ve stuffed so much into it, and it has not hurt my shoulders the whole time.” Made from recycled nylon, the water-resistant bag comes in a range of colors, and the wide, adjustable strap is designed for comfort.
