But if you are looking for a gift specifically for your traveler friend, you are a bit lucky. Here, the choices aren’t too vast, especially regarding luxury gifts. However, it will still be a challenge to find a great gift that they will not only love but also a gift that they never want to leave behind.

But not to worry! In this guide, I’ll discuss the luxury travel gifts for him that he might be too stingy or unbothered to buy for himself. Surprise him with one of these luxury travel gifts, and he will undoubtedly be overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. Well, he’d better be overwhelmed!

While we’re at it, check out the best credit cards for churning for points. The right one could help in buying some of these luxury gifts!

Best Luxury Travel Gifts for Him

While looking for the best luxury travel gifts for him, you should narrow down your options according to his preferences. For instance, if he’s low on tech supplies, maybe get him a new power bank or a charger for his laptop. Likewise, if he’s into mixology, get him a portable cocktail set.

Some men also like to be put together, even on the road. For such individuals, a grooming travel set will be an ideal gift.

But enough hypothesizing! Now, check out these incredible gift ideas!

Grooming Gift Sets

As mentioned earlier, grooming gift sets are a smart way to gift your man everything he’ll need to stay sharp. Instead of shopping separately for essentials, you can buy him a perfume, shaving, or beauty set.

One good thing about this gift set idea is that you’re getting your male traveler friend more than one gift in one package! Also, it’s cheaper than buying each of these gifts in the gift box separately.

1. Kenneth Cole Gift Set

This Kenneth Cole Gift set is among the best luxury travel gifts for him if he likes to smell good – at least, he might want to after a sweaty flight. Since it contains four pieces, this set will last him for several trips, remembering you during each application. It has three formulations from the company: Intensity, Energy, and Serenity.

The different scents offer flexibility and choice. He can embrace his individuality depending on the occasion or his mood – or how ripe he is.

Also, the fragrance is quite vibrant since the top notes are energizing while the base notes are a bit sensual. Like that as an idea and want more options? Check out these other travel-sized cologne options.

2. Braun Hair Clippers for Men

Being in a foreign country, your man probably won’t have the time to look for a barber. After all, most travelers are on a tight schedule because they want to see as many spots as possible in a day.

So, how about getting them a hair clipper set? It would quickly solve any hair-trimming and shaving problems for them during their travels!

The Braun Hair Clipper set is a perfect gift example. For starters, it comes with nine styling tools. This makes it suitable for body grooming, nose trimming, medium hair trimming, and medium to long beard shaves.

The four combs in this set have a length range from 0.5mm to 21mm. Moreover, the blades are sharp enough to last the test of time.

A single charge will keep the trimmer running for up to an hour. That’s more time than you’ll ever need. The best part? The hair clipper is 100% waterproof so your man can use it in the shower too. Also, if his luggage or backpack gets wet due to unpredictable weather, the hair clippers will be safe!

Luggage

Is he still using the luggage he bought for his first international trip? Well, it’s time the old college kid luggage goes bye-bye.

When finding luxury travel gifts for him, don’t skip the backpacks, handbags, tote bags, and laptop bags. A man certainly needs a piece of good luggage!

3. Briggs & Riley Sympatico-Hardside Spinner Luggage

First, I must say that the color palettes of this spinner luggage are gorgeous. Also, the matte finish will match most men’s tastes.

However, if he doesn’t like the beautiful brown color, as shown above, there are seven other options too. So, you might want first to find out what color appeases him.

This hard-side luggage case has 25% more packing space than most other bags of the same size. Moreover, it comes with a lifetime warranty and has been reviewed as premium luggage by the New York Times.

Luggage getting damaged during a commute or because of the airlines is a common problem. Luckily, the Briggs & Riley warranty covers this.

Even better, despite being sizable and spacious, the bag is lightweight. And if you are worried about safety, it has a TSA-approved built-in lock.

4. DELSEY Paris Helium Aero Hardside Expandable Luggage

The Delsey Paris expandable luggage is available in eleven colors and has a polycarbonate shell for ultimate durability.

Due to its rigid construction, the bag is resilient to physical damage during air or road travel – which, let’s face it, is more likely to happen if a man is in charge of a suitcase. Also, the four spinner wheels allow multi-directional rolling, ensuring that the traveler doesn’t have to carry any weight.

The bag has two lined compartments on the inner side to keep the clothes wrinkle-free. Plus, there are multiple smaller pockets to store his toiletries, accessories, and other items.

Also, the headphones connect to the user’s phone, allowing them to use voice assistants. While the wearer replies to emails, Alexa plays music or helps to find a nearby hotel!

These Sony headphones also have a Quick Attention Mode. With the noise-cancellation on, the wearer only has to put his hand on the right ear cup to have an easy conversation. Plus, the music and voice assistance controls are just a tap away.

However, I mainly added these headphones to this list because of their long battery life. They last up to 30 hours, providing an uninterrupted all-day listening experience.

9. Anker Life Q30 Hybrid Active Noise Cancelling Headphones

If you want something a bit more affordable but still good enough for a luxury gift, the Anker Life Q30 headphones will do the trick. For starters, these headphones have active noise cancellation and hybrid technology to block out disruptive sounds. The hybrid tech uses two microphones on each ear cup, which filters about 95% of ambient noise, ensuring you enjoy your music without distractions.

In addition, these headphones offer noise cancellation options depending on where you are. For instance, the Transport Mode minimizes engine noise while on a flight, the Indoor Mode reduces ambient noise in busy offices, while the Outdoor Mode cancels out wind and traffic noise.

And that’s not all; these headphones have 40 hours of battery life and come with a USB-C charging cable. As for comfort, they are made of memory foam with a stainless steel slider and pivoting ear cups. So your man won’t feel discomfort while wearing them on long flights or work trips.

The 2-piece set from Ralph Lauren contains a scarf and a hat. It’s made of 35% lambswool, 30% viscose, and 35% nylon.

For the Boozers

If your man has some bartender capabilities or a penchant for plonk, mixer sets will be the best luxury gifts you can find for him. Fortunately, many of the options here don’t cost a kidney – although drinking to excess is bad for the liver.

25. Genuine Leather Apple AirTaG Wallet

No one wants to lose items during travel—especially not a wallet.
