Best Tech Gifts for Frequent Travelers in 2025

Why we like it: It’s a very lightweight and simple power bank

The NITECORE NB Plus 10,000 mAh Lightweight Power Bank delivers just enough juice to fully recharge most phones, yet remains compact enough to slip into your pants pocket. Its carbon-fiber shell adds durability without much weight, and dual ports offer flexibility for charging two devices. While its actual output is modest relative to its rating, it’s a solid everyday travel companion and can make a thoughtful gift for the friend who’s always running low on battery but wants gear that won’t weigh them down. That said, there's also the NITECORE NB Air USB-C 5000mAh Power Bank if something smaller is much preferred.

Why we like it: Surprisingly versatile for its size

Continuing the Nano line's philosophy of shrinking everyday charging devices, the Anker Nano Travel adapter is compact, lightweight, and optimized for global travel convenience, delivering USB-C charging in a packable footprint. Its modest wattage output is perfect for plugging smartphones and tablets directly into the USB-C ports. It's compatible in over 200 countries and regions, so it can tackle almost any plug anywhere in the world. For someone planning trips or just looking to consolidate chargers, this adapter makes a gift that helps reduce clutter and bulk in a tech kit.

Why we like it: It's really small, even by GaN standards.

The Rolling Square Supertiny 65 W GaN Charger lives up to its name; this charger is among the smallest single-port GaN units available in this power range. It's so compact that it nearly disappears into a tech pouch, yet is powerful enough to power laptops, tablets, and phones. Heat management and safety features make it dependable for everyday travel. So, if you have a friend who still insists on traveling with the same bulky charger their phone came with, this will surely spare them precious ounces.

Why we like it: It has an IP67 rating, so water and sand aren’t an issue

To date, members of the Pack Hacker team have given the Altec Lansing Mini H2O Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker as a gift twice. It has an IP67 rating, so they can take it to the pool or beach without worrying about water or sand. Plus, the sound quality is suitable for such a small, budget-friendly speaker. They’ll get some clipping at the high end, and the bass isn’t perfect; however, for less than $20, you can’t go wrong with this speaker as a gift!

Why we like it: It's easy to slip into wallets

We're sure there's a good rationale behind the Apple AirTag's round shape, but that doesn't make stuffing one into a wallet any easier. Enter the Tile Slim Tracker, a credit-card-thin Bluetooth tracker that slips into wallets, passport holders, or the tight pockets of a travel backpack. With Tile’s app and network backing, you can locate a lost item even when it’s not nearby. For someone who frequently loses keys, bags, or wallets, it’s a low-obtrusive but high-peace-of-mind gift that blends into their daily carry.

Why we like it: The a built-in cable means one less cable potentially left behind

The Anker Nano Charger (Built-In Retractable USB-C Cable) features a 35-watt output, providing powerful and fast smartphone charging while remaining lightweight. Its size makes it a friendly choice for travel, and the built-in cable removes one more cord from your kit. For a gift, it’s ideal for someone who wants a no-nonsense, compact charger that works out of the box.

Why we like it: It works as a tracker and a digital business card

The Rolling Square AirCard is the perfect gift for the techie in your life or the person who is constantly losing their wallet. The card slides into most wallets without issue and uses the Apple Find My network to ensure they can track it no matter where they end up. Plus, they can use it as a mobile business card, and good samaritans who find the card (likely inside your giftee’s wallet or rolling luggage) can scan the QR code to return it to them! This also works with NFC scanners, which is a perk if somebody doesn’t know how to use a QR code or has a broken camera.

Why we like it: A Qi2 wireless charger that doesn't look gaudy? Yes please

Sleek, puck-sized, and toting convenient wireless charging, the Twelve South ButterFly SE 2-in-1 Qi2 Charger elegantly handles both an iPhone (via Qi2) and Apple Watch simultaneously. It unfolds like a compact candy box, and its soft aluminum and vegan-leather strap lend it a premium feel. Because it doesn’t include a wall charger, your giftee will need to supply one. Still, the tidy form factor, magnetic alignment, and travel-friendly size make it an appealing gift for someone who values minimalist setups at home or on the go.

Why we like it: It can charge two devices and operates as a battery bank

In the modern age, even while traveling, you may have multiple devices to charge overnight. That’s a lot of cables if you use conventional means to charge every device. Luckily, the ESR HaloLock 3-in-1 Travel Wireless Charging Set can charge two devices at once, making it an excellent gift for tech-heavy users in your life. The device's primary use is to charge an iPhone wirelessly, but it also functions as a battery bank and can charge AirPods and an Apple Watch. They can charge two devices simultaneously, with the third part of the 3-in-1 system coming from the battery bank that they can take on trips around the city.

Why we like it: It’s small enough for travel and capable enough to be used at home

The Logitech MX Keys Mini Wireless Keyboard is one of our most recommended keyboards because of how versatile it is. We find it capable enough for use at home, small enough to slide into a travel backpack, and durable enough for use while on the road. This makes it the perfect gift for someone looking for a keyboard. It has a backlight, which is handy for use at night, and the keys feel substantial, which isn’t always true for travel keyboards. Plus, they can connect it to three devices, which is great for work, play, and gaming.

Why we like it: It comes in fun colorways and is portable

Sometimes, gifts should be practical. That said, just because something is reasonable doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. The Logitech Pebble comes in unique colorways, so you can get one that matches their vibe and is small enough to pack anywhere, so they won’t have to worry about it sliding into their tech pouch or travel backpack’s admin panel. They can connect it to up to three devices covering work, pleasure, and gaming. This isn’t the most function-heavy mouse; however, it's an excellent shout for the price and usability.

Why we like it: Decent wattage and a built-in cable provide dependable on-the-go charging

The Anker Nano Power Bank (10K, 45 W, Built-In Retractable USB-C Cable) is a feature-rich power bank with surprising punch: its retractable USB-C cable offers multiple length settings, and its 45 W output handles phones and tablets without a hitch. It supports pass-through charging so devices and the bank itself can charge together. Though its thicker profile makes it less elegant in slim tech pouches, its display, versatility, and reliable performance make it a practical gift—especially for travelers who hate forgetting a cable.

Why we like it: It has SIM and Micro SD storage options

We’ve all got that friend or family member (looking at you, Aunt Eileen) who loves to tinker with things. The Yesimla USB Adapter & Cable Kit is the perfect gift for that person in your life because it gives the technological tinkerer the tools they need to work on the go. It has a cable and adapter capable of charging USB-C, USB-A, Lightning, and Micro-USB devices, can store SIM and Micro SD cards, and has a SIM removal tool for changing cards on the go. Don’t get Aunt Eileen one, though; she already has one!

Why we like it: It fits into tight, hard-to-reach spaces

If you’re looking for a gift for someone constantly staying at hotels or Airbnbs for work, the Twelve South PlugBug Slim is an excellent shout. It’s a standard plug with a USB-C port; however, it’s incredibly skinny, and the port is on the bottom, which is handy for tight spaces and awkward outlets. It maxes out at 20 watts of output, which isn’t enough for large devices like laptops or some tablets. However, for phones and other small electronics, it’s a solid solution for people constantly needing to plug into awkward corners!

Why we like it: It can charge almost any device on Earth

The Rolling Square inCharge XL is an all-in-one cable with USB-C, Lightning, Micro-USB, and USB-A ports. This version of the cable comes in one, 6.5, and 10-foot versions, so you can snag one that works for their specialized needs. The build quality is top-notch, and you’ll find Aramid fiber, nylon, and Zinc aluminum alloy on the materials list, all of which hold up well. This cable can charge almost anything, making it a solid all-in-one gift for the tech lover in your life.

Why we like it: Simply slap this power bank onto the back of a phone for convenient charging

Magnets make everything better, right? Meet the Ugreen Uno Magnetic Wireless Power Bank 10,000 mAh. It snaps to the back of compatible iPhones and wirelessly provides up to 7.5 watts of power with wired output also available—just note it trades off speed and flexibility for elegance and simplicity. Its compact shape and wireless convenience make it ideal for friends who are peeved by tangled cables. Plus, you can check the remaining battery with some cute digital faces. What’s not to love?

Why we like it: They can use it for meetings, work, or fun videos and Facetime calls

Some people live on their computers. Whether it’s for work, play, or something in between, the Rolling Square EDGE Pro Full Kit will help the computer lover in your life get more out of their devices and increase productivity. It attaches to the back of a computer so they can attach their phone, tablet, or light to add functionality. You need two magnets for a tablet, but a phone works with one. They can add more light for an important meeting, use an iPad as a second screen to get work done or mount their phone to watch TikTok videos while auditing accounts. The Rolling Square EDGE Pro Full Kit can make both more enjoyable and productive for those who use their computer for work and play.

Why we like it: It functions as a full-size Nintendo Switch dock in a much smaller footprint

We all know somebody who constantly brings their Nintendo Switch everywhere—the Subway, school, family gatherings, you name it. They’ve got the dock and everything. If only there were a way for them to travel without bringing such a large accessory! Enter the Genki Covert Dock Mini. It’s shaped like a standard wall plug (and can function as one in a pinch) but works to connect their Nintendo Switch to a TV without needing the huge dock that comes with the gaming system. It’s a game-changer for travel, literally!
