If you have a frequent flier on your nice list this year, knowing what to give them can feel a little intimidating. The good news is that giving them something that enhances their traveling experience with form or function is a pretty easy way to ensure that they will get good use out of your gift. Traveling is a little different than it was a few years ago, and it can quickly go from fun to stressful, so a gift that brings some playfulness and wonder back into the act is always a thoughtful one.

We know.. A travel pillow can feel like a strange gift, but not when it’s this colorful and well-designed.
