Our 2021 Gift Guide

When I travel, slippers are a decadent luxury. These lightweight, packabe versions for men and women are a great - and seldom thought of - addition to your loved one’s bag.

Among the many packing cubes out there, our BluffCube made its mark. Its compression top and full side access zipper make it both the most compressible and accessible packing cube we’ve seen. Perfect for travel and outdoor trips, alike.

Basic laptop sleeve right? Not so fast. This one has a durable, but also beautiful fabric weave and a full wrap around rubber bumper, all with a small, minimalist profile.

I always pack one of these lights with me when I travel, and find they're an easy gift when you can’t see in hotel rooms with poor lighting. PS. They work great on a plane too.

The whole purpose of the light phone is to disconnect. This can help your loved one achieve the distance they are looking for, without falling off the map.

I find these journals inspiring. I carry the “Dope Rhymes” version, because you know - that’s what I put in my journal. Pick the right message, and your loved one will carry it with pride.

This cord can be the backup version you stash to never be without. Or, it can be the daily go-to that addresses all your needs. They offer both short and long versions, both of which make great gifts for bailing out someone in a pinch.

If you know someone who is always on the go, I’ve spent years looking for the best reusable cutlery to pack in my bag. These are my current favorites, with all three pieces that are just right - and pack down small.

The only drawback of metal utensils is that they cause havoc at airport security. For those moments, I carry this plastic version, which I’ve never had a problem with.

I hate a mess of unorganized keys in my pocket. That’s why we teamed up with KeySmart to create a Bluffworks version. There is a small little place in the right front pocket of your Ascender chinos specifically designed to carry a Keysmart. Your loved one will handle this gift every single day.

Picture this: I am in Imosuane, a dusty village in Morocco with excellent surf but - it’s noisy at night, due to the stray dogs that sleep all day, and bark all night. Glad I had my SleepBuds. I use these every night at home, plus on planes, and at my destination to fully recharge. An impactful gift for someone who struggles with sleep.

I had never used a neck pillow, until Candy Cane came along. It’s inflatable, folds up super small, and does a better job than a standard horseshoe pillow. Now, it rides in my bag with me. It is an unexpected and useful gift for a frequent or long haul traveler.

This watch is my favorite. Its classic looks and solar powered drive mean it can go a long time without worry or break down. Someone lucky enough to receive this from you will wear it for years.

This scarf has got pockets. That’s the secret we packed into this go-anywhere accessory made out of our popular Threshold fabric. Perfect for staying warm on a cold plane, while keeping necessities close at hand.

I have high expectations for my footwear. I want good support, comfort, and durability packed into one shoe that is small enough for travel. The solution by Tropicfeel is a great addition to someone’s packing list.

As my son grew, we got this helmet-to-helmet communication system for staying in touch while biking in NYC. A special gift that makes activities together more fun.

Being organized makes us feel better, and this pouch’s soft structure, plus super internal organization system helps keep your personal care items well organized on the road.

$42 - Stryx, $12 - Pipette

News flash - we need daily SPF and moisturizer. Solving the problem of what to use - for men and for women - is a helpful gift for someone who hasn’t taken the time to figure it out.
