We all have that one friend who never seems to be in the country. Whether they spend their days lounging on Bali beaches, shopping in Shibuya or seeking thrills on the Swiss Alps, they’re always jetsetting off to their next adventure. If the frequent flyer of your friend group is finally in town to celebrate this holiday season, this is the gift guide for you. Below, see the best travel essentials to gift your globetrotting friends before they get on their next flight.
