Whether you’re shopping for the introspective traveler in need of a new notebook to recount their latest experience or the outdoorsy adventurer who’s looking to stay warm while they hit the slopes this winter, Amazon is stocked with the perfect gifts for everyone on your list. So, we’ve rounded up the 11 best travel-ready stocking stuffers you need to snag before your holiday festivities commence — and as a gift to you, everything is under $10.
Tigari Passport Holder
There’s no stocking stuffer for a travel-lover that’s more fitting than a passport holder, and this faux leather pouch is currently on sale for nearly 50 percent off just in time for the holidays. This pouch is a great place to safely store your passport, boarding pass, and other important travel documents, and the back of the booklet is fitted with a clear plastic slot for your vaccination card, other ID’s, or really anything else you’d like to store in plain view. You’ll never struggle to locate your passport in your backpack again thanks to the six bright colors this holder comes in.
Amazon Basics Classic Notebook
Solo travelers will be happy to receive a nice journal to store their favorite memories from their trips, and this classic black notebook from Amazon is the perfect choice while it’s on sale for just $6. This hardcover notebook is well-equipped to handle the wear and tear of a long travel day being jostled around in a backpack, and 240 ruled pages provide ample space for months’ worth of thoughts. The book is even held closed with a convenient elastic attached to the back cover, ensuring the pages will never be torn out or folded in transit.
Pxhdcn AirTag Holder
While an Apple AirTag is an excellent (albeit pricey) stocking stuffer, these silicone, anti-scratch cases are a thoughtful accessory to hold the tracking device in place, and they even come in several eye-catching shades. The case is attached to a simple carabiner which simply clips to the interior of any suitcase or even on your keychain, and each set comes with five colors including black, pink, green, blue, and grey. If you happen to also snag a four-pack of AirTags, this set is a great addition to the gift.
Buttons & Pleats Wool Socks
They may not be glamorous, but a good pair of socks is always a thoughtful addition to any holiday stocking — especially if your loved one enjoys spending their time out in the cold doing winter activities like skiing, hiking, or snowboarding. These top-rated wool socks from Buttons & Pleats are currently on sale for an impressive 55 percent off at Amazon and are designed with a thick knit to keep feet insulated, alongside a compressive fit along the arches, and a moisture-wicking material. Not to mention a fuzzy interior makes these socks excellent for lounging around at home.
Sminiker Beanie Hat with Light
Adventurous campers and hikers are likely to find themselves outside in the dark this winter (especially now that the sun sets before 5 p.m.) So, this beanie is the perfect stocking stuffer as it not only offers a source of light, but will also keep your head warm despite the dropping temperatures. The simple hat is available in eight vibrant colors, although black is the only option under $10, and it’s made with a cozy acrylic knit that’s thick enough to insulate against the winter weather. The rechargeable battery included in the hat also offers up to 10 hours of use with each charge and can regain full battery in just two hours.
Kineed Waterproof Ski Gloves with Touchscreen
Winter sport aficionados will be thrilled to receive this insulated, waterproof pair of gloves in their stocking. With their adjustable wrist straps and a windproof exterior, you may even want to grab a pair for yourself while they’re just $10. The interior of these gloves is packed with insulation to fight off the cold, while the outer shell is breathable enough to wick moisture and keep your hands dry throughout the day (even from sweat). Plus, anti-slip palm grips are excellent for holding onto ski poles with ease, while the pointer finger of each glove is designed with material that’s compatible with touchscreens.
HotHands Body & Hand Warmers
Hand warmers are the gift that keeps on giving in the winter, and whether you’re buying for a skier or snowboarder, or simply a traveler who is tired of being cold, this value pack is sure to be a hit. These long-lasting hand warmers are ready for use within minutes of being taken out of the package and provide up to 18 hours of heat for a day on the slopes, so you can avoid being forced into the lodge to warm up. These large warmers can be held in your gloves, tucked into your boots, or even pressed against your torso for a more enjoyable winter at just $8.
FurArt Slim RFID-blocking Wallet
This best-selling wallet has earned more than 34,900 five-star ratings at Amazon and is undeniably one of the most functional and stylish stocking stuffers you could shop on a budget this year. Sitting at just $10, this minimalist leather wallet offers four slots for your cards and is fitted with a simple ring at the top which is easily attached to an AirTag so you can ensure it’s never lost. The highlight of this wallet is that it’s made with RFID-blocking material to provide an additional layer of protection against potential theft while remaining slim and easy to pack. You can even snag it in 34 bright and neutral colors.
Caoodkdk Electronic Cable Organizer
Charging cords always find a way to get tangled during travel, so this best-selling organizer will make for a great gift this holiday season — especially while it’s on sale for 50 percent off at Amazon. The waterproof exterior of this pouch will keep your items protected if you happen to get caught in a rainstorm or spill on your bag during your travels, and the interior boasts two spacious mesh pockets alongside three smaller pouches for optimal organization. From a portable charger to every cord you might need, this pouch is well-equipped for it all.
Vomna Mini Jewelry Travel Case
Along with cords notoriously getting tangled while traveling, necklaces and other jewelry are also at risk, which is why a compact travel case is the perfect gift and a thoughtful solution. This portable jewelry box from Vomna is broken into four sections which are designed to hold earrings, alongside several ring pillows and three hooks to hang your favorite bracelets or necklaces without them getting knotted. The storage area is easily adjustable for earrings of different sizes, and with four beautiful colors to choose from, you should have no trouble finding an option to suit every jewelry-lover on your shopping list.
Mrsdry Travel Toiletry Bottles
If you thought travel toiletry bottles couldn’t be stylish, then you haven’t seen this sleek four-piece set from Mrsdry which, at $10, is a simple and useful stocking stuffer to snatch up this year. Why buy small shampoo and conditioner bottles when you could save your money and fill these bottles with your favorite products so you’ll never have to travel without them? And not only are they TSA-approved, but they’re even leakproof and come in a convenient zippered pouch for easy storage while you’re on the go.
