Gift ideas for business travelers
Best gifts for business travelers
A new cabin or checked luggage, a perfect laptop case, a great suit, good shoes, new socks, or a new powerbank?
What to offer to a businessman, a gentleman, a white collar globetrotter? This question never gets old…
As a traveler, living with my luggage and nothing else, for more than 4 years, here are some advice. If he works in suit, travels some or all the time, these are essential to a business gentleman.
Make him ready to travel
A good baggage is always appreciated – for the perfect sets, what he needs is:
– a cabin luggage for the short 2 days business trips. You want it soft, because it will handle a lot, and sometimes you need to get a few centimeters more or less,
Samsonite Neopulse Suitcase 4 Wheel Spinner 55cm Cabin Metallic Black
– a large luggage to take his life with him. You will want this one hard, because it has to survive without you and endure things you won’t see. Also select it with wheels as large as possible, as they are generally more resistant to shocks,
Samsonite Winfield 2 Hardside 28 Luggage, Purple
– a good laptop case. It must look good, but also be practical, and of course keep safely a laptop.

Make him work and travel in style and comfort
These are what he needs in his wardrobe, to go to office or to go to an ambassador’s cocktail:
– a proper and tailored suit, don’t hesitate to visit the shop two times after the first try to make everything fit perfectly,
– socks that looks as good as they feel (or maybe the inverse?), the ones in Scottish cotton are perfect with suits, and adding some colors is a great office idea to match the tie,
Graham Cashmere Men’s Cashmere Rib Socks Gift Boxed
– good shoes, he can’t complain that it is too hard for men to find good working shoes, go for a Richelieu model, which goes perfectly with suits and is the best style to spend time in airport business lounges,
SYYANN Men’s Retro Leather Manual Pack Wingtip Oxford Shoes Business Black Brown SL77105
– a nice tie, go for a plain one and you won’t make any mistake,

– customized cufflinks or engraved tie clips and he will definitely stand out in his next presentation – and thank you for that.

Keep him comfortable with these accessories
– A luggage scale, always helpful when on the move, to make sure he can fit this one more bottle of champagne for you,
Etekcity Digital Hanging Luggage Scale, Rubber Paint, Temperature Sensor, 110 Pounds, Silver
– A proper toiletry bag, you want it to be foldable, so he can chose how to fit it in his luggage (folded or not), and you want to be able to hang it in any hotel room,
– a large capacity powerbank, so he can charge his tablet once, or his smartphone 4 / 5 times, or both at the same time, on the move or just when he’s too lazy to reach the plug,
– and a portable one, that he can keep in his jackets anytime and use discreetly for one phone charge,
– a proper micro USB cable, if he uses most of the Android or Windows phone, to make sure he can always exchange data with computer, and charge properly all his devices.
Travel gift ideas for him
There are plenty of choice to content even the man that is never at home.
For a good gift idea, think about what he uses everyday and actually needs to renew regularly, which he always has with him: bags, suits, shirts, underwear, socks…
He surely doesn’t have time to shop for any of them and will thank you to do it for him!
