“What do you want for a birthday/Christmas/anniversary gift?” “Nothing.” If you’ve ever had this exact conversation with the impossible-to-shop-for man in your life, we feel your pain and have a solution—this carefully curated list of the best gift ideas for men who love to travel. We’ve included options for every budget, from splurge to steal. 

Monos Metro Duffel

Monos’ Metro Duffel is perfectly sized for weekend trips, daily commutes, or the occasional gym run. The duffel comes with Monos’ genius Metro Kit, part of its trademarked QuickSnap Modular Kit System. This small bag can be used to pack toiletries or other travel essentials that you want to keep separated (but still close by). 

In addition to a roomy interior, the Metro Duffel has a laptop sleeve, inner side pockets (perfect for water bottles or umbrellas), and a built-in suitcase sleeve that converts to an additional pocket as needed. 

Choose from a variety of colors in sleek nylon or stylish vegan leather—both are water-resistant and easy to wipe clean.

Oxo Rapid Brewer

Do you know someone who takes his coffee seriously? Treat him to the Oxo Rapid Brewer so he can have perfect espressos, lattes, cold brews, or even espresso martinis anywhere he goes. This compact brewing system does not require electricity to make the perfect cup (making it a great choice for camping). 

Simply add ground coffee beans and water and steep for 2-5 minutes. Then, use the pump to extract the coffee through the stainless steel filter to dispense delicious, concentrated coffee that’s ready to drink as is or dilute. Everything but the pump can be washed in the dishwasher when you’re done. 

Solo Stove Pi Prime Pizza Oven

Shopping for someone who won’t stop reminiscing over that incredible pizza they had on a trip to Italy years ago? Help them recreate a taste of the dolce vita at home with Solo Stove’s Pi Prime Pizza Oven. Neapolitan pizza is typically cooked at temperatures higher than home ovens can achieve (ideally around 750°F), which is why you can never create a crust that’s as good at home as it was in a restaurant.

This at-home pizza oven uses propane and a demi-dome design to achieve temperatures over 950°F, giving the crust that perfect amount of char and crunch that you get in an Italian pizzeria. For a truly great gift, opt for the Pi Prime Pizza Oven Essential Bundle, which includes everything you’ll need to create the perfect pie: a Cordierite pizza stone, the Pi Prime Shelter (a cover that protects the oven from the elements), a 12″ bamboo peel, a stainless steel pizza turner, a heat-resistant silicone mat, and a pizza rocker blade to slice up your creation.

The Pi Prime is big enough to cook a pizza, but it’s small enough to be travel-friendly. Weighing just over 30 lbs., this pizza oven can be taken on car camping trips, to vacation rentals, or even to tailgates. 

MTailor Custom Jeans

Flying in jeans is rarely comfortable, but what if it could be? Treat your favorite fashionable traveler to MTailor’s Custom Jeans, and they won’t want to take their jeans off, even for a long haul. This bespoke clothing company creates jeans tailored to your body at a surprisingly affordable price.

All you have to do is download the app, scan your body, and MTailor will automatically record over 60 measurements to create the perfect fit. Next, choose your color and other details including silhouette and even thread color, and MTailor will handmake your custom jeans. 

The jeans come with a money-back guarantee—if you don’t like the pants, MTailor will remake them or give you a full refund.

Randolph Archer Sunglasses

Any stylish traveler in your life would be delighted to receive a pair of Randolph’s Archer Sunglasses as a gift. An iconic American brand since 1973, Randolph’s sunglasses are all handmade in the USA. 

Each pair is made with meticulous detail, involving over 200 precise steps of hands-on craftsmanship. The Archer style is named after ballooning pioneer Samuel Archer King, making them a perfect fit for your favorite adventurer. Plus, the polarized lenses are equipped with a trademarked Vector Anti-Reflective & Blue Wave technology that helps reduce glare, even on the water. 

Todd Snyder Slim Fit Sea Soft Irish Linen Shirt

Linen is one of our favorite travel fabrics—it’s lightweight, breathable, and thermoregulating. Upgrade his travel wardrobe with Todd Snyder’s Slim Fit Sea Soft Irish Linen Shirt. Crafted from Baird McNutt’s renowned washed linen fabric, this shirt is comfortable for even the longest journey. Sourced from one of Ireland’s oldest linen mills, this top will last through many miles. The shirt’s slim fit silhouette and classic button-down design are ultra-versatile, ensuring it will gain a spot in his suitcase on every trip.

North Drinkware

Commemorate a memorable trip with a whiskey or pint glass from North Drinkware. These hand-blown glasses feature the outlines of famous mountains molded into the bottom.  

Choose from mountains across the United States or Japan—or opt for a generic geometric mountain shape that will remind someone of all their favorite hiking trips. 

Royce New York Leather Passport Cover

Shopping for a frequent international traveler? Help him travel in style while keeping personal data secure with Royce’s elegant full-grain leather passport case. Built with integrated RFID shielding technology, this handsome accessory safeguards sensitive information without sacrificing sophistication. 

The thoughtfully designed interior features a dedicated passport pocket, a convenient slip pocket, and four card slots for seamless organization. It’s available in multiple colors so that you can pick his favorite. 

Thermos Icon Food Jar

For anyone who frequently complains about overspending on road trip snacks or grumbles about in-flight meals, the Thermos Icon Food Jar is the perfect solution to enhance their travel experience. This stainless steel jar features Thermos’ signature vacuum insulation technology, keeping food hot for up to 14 hours and cold for up to 24.

You can fill it with soup, pasta, or any dish you desire for a convenient, affordable, healthy travel meal surpassing what you’d find on a plane. (Just remember to avoid packing anything that could be considered a liquid if you’re flying.) Plus, a folding spoon neatly tucks into  Comment end the top, so you’ll always have something to eat with. 

Icebreaker Tech Lite T-Shirt

Icebreaker’s Tech Lite T-Shirt is the perfect travel shirt. Made of 100 percent merino wool, the Tech Lite is breathable, odor-resistant, and makes an excellent gift for adventure travelers. The offset shoulder seams help reduce friction, a key feature if you plan on carrying a backpack while wearing it. 

We recommend this shirt for everything from long flights to hiking, to trips where you might not be able to do laundry. 

Snack’d World Sharing Subscription Box

For the foodie traveler, you can’t go wrong with Snack’d World’s Sharing Subscription Box. This tasty treat includes over 20 snacks you’ll only find abroad. The selection covers a variety of countries and cuisines around the globe and includes sweet and savory options, plus two drinks. 

Apple AirTag

Any traveler would love to receive an Apple AirTag. This tiny little gadget has endless uses when away from home. You can place it in checked luggage (or a carry-on that you’re forced to gate-check), put it in the hotel room safe to automatically remind you to clean it out before you check out, or attach it to your keys and keep track of it with your phone.

A four-pack of AirTags is available on Amazon for less than $100 and makes for great stocking stuffers (or an emergency gift to have on hand).

Tasc Everywhere Polo

Do you know someone who needs to upgrade his travel wardrobe? Gift him Tasc’s Everywhere Polo. Tasc takes the traditional polo shirt and improves it by adding a bamboo fabric that’s temperature-regulating, anti-odor, and moisture-wicking. 

The self-collar features permanent stays, and river shell buttons add a bit of extra style, making this polo suitable for everything from the golf course to the office.
