Let’s just be honest: men are harder to buy for. My husband never asks for anything, never complains about anything, and if he truly needs something, he buys it for himself—can you imagine? He’s the perfect man, which makes it really difficult to know what to get him for birthdays and holidays! But over the years I’ve figured out what’s really useful for him—and other traveling gentlemen! With Christmas here and Valentine’s Day around the corner, here are my top picks for traveling men!

Solid Cologne

That liquids bag fills up quickly! Solid cologne is very useful on travel: long travel days, scarce showers, tight spaces like airplanes, you get the gist.

Packable Jacket

Again with the clothing! The packable down jackets you see everyone wearing these days really are warm, but the very best part is that they pack up into their own pocket and take up practically no space in one’s luggage!

RFID Theft-blocking Wallet

Travelers save their money, so it makes sense that they’d want to protect it! An RFID-blocking wallet does just that: it blocks would-be scammers from scanning your loved one’s credit cards and taking the information for their own gain. This wallet is a traveler’s essential!
