Apple AirTag
Apple AirTags are among Travel + Leisure’s top-rated luggage trackers, and uses for these traveler-loved security tags extend well beyond keeping tabs on checked bags to house keys, backpacks, parked cars, and so much more. They instantly connect to your iPhone or iPad and help travelers know if their luggage made it onto the plane, per one reviewer. Grab multiples for stocking stuffers while they’re on sale, and gift peace of mind for $24.
Apple 10.2-inch 64GB iPad Wi-Fi (9th Generation)
It’s no surprise 1,000 of these have sold since yesterday: Zoom meetings, video games, and in-flight movies are difficult on a tiny smartphone screen. This Apple iPad is well-suited for any tablet tasks with its 10.2-inch retina display and 64MB capacity — and it features the headphone jack and Home button that disappeared in later iPad releases.
Beats Studio3 Bluetooth Noise Canceling Headphones
The noise-canceling Beats Studio3 headphones boast 22 hours of playtime on a single charge to last through long travel days, plus a handy quick-charging feature that gives you three hours of use within just 10 minutes. Shoppers said that the sound quality is amazing and the over-ear cushioning is comfortable for long periods of time. When not in use, they fold down to fit into a protective carrying case, and at just over 9 ounces, they won’t weigh your belongings down.
FitRx Percussion Massage Gun
Long flights in cramped seats can leave you stiff and sore, but a portable massage gun can help shake off all that post-flight tension. The FitRx Percussion Massage Gun has six speeds and four attachments — for even those hard-to-reach spots like between shoulder blades — and at under 2 pounds, it’s ideal for travelers who don’t want to suffer from aches and pains while on vacation.
JBL Clip 4 Bluetooth Speaker
Earbuds are great for daily use and solo travel, but when you have friends or family in tow, you’ll want a portable speaker for long hikes, beach days, camping trips, and relaxing at your hotel. Our testers’ favorite clip-on portable speaker, the JBL Clip 4 doesn’t skimp on sound, despite its small size. Its lightweight design slips easily into luggage, and when you get to where you’re going, its integrated carabiner will clip onto backpacks, belt loops, beach bags, and more.
