On average, people spend around an hour per day on the go. And the right travel swag can make every journey more comfortable and enjoyable.
Travel is a part of our lives, whether it’s a short business trip or a long-awaited vacation. So, help your employees and business partners travel in comfort like never before.
We’ve handpicked 16 branded travel items that combine style and practicality.
Top 16 travel swag ideas
1. Memory foam travel pillow
We’ve all been there: neck strain on planes or car rides ruins your chance to relax. A memory foam travel pillow solves this by supporting your head and neck at every angle.
Our clients, for example, love Cabeau’s travel pillows. They have adjustable straps that lock the pillow to the headrests, stopping your head from flopping forward. All you need to do is to strap it in, lean back, and enjoy the ride.
2. Leakproof travel containers
Whether you are planning a two-week vacation or a two-day business trip, you always take a set of toiletries like shampoo, shower gel, or vitamines and medicines. Leakproof capsules are must-haves to keep these items safe and spill-free.
We recommend Cadence capsules. These chick travel containers have a magnetic snap and are 100% leakproof, so you won’t need to cross your fingers hoping your items stay safe. Plus, they have an aesthetic and minimalist design, a soft touch, and are compact enough for cabin luggage.
3. Sleep mask
A quality sleep mask is a thoughtful gift that will save your traveler’s night when sleeping on a plane, car, or bus. Choose a mask with a soft material and cushioned edges to allow space for your lids and lashes.
Our clients prefer sleeping masks by Cabeau for their soft material, adjustable nose bridge, and head strap that holds the mask in place. Made from breathable fabric, these masks don’t press on your eyes and allow for uninterrupted sleep. Cabeau’s mask won the “Best Sleep Mask” award in Glamour’s magazine Beauty & Wellness Awards coverage.
4. Cabin travel bag
A sleek cabin bag is a safe bet for all travelers. Opt for minimalist designs and quality materials like waterproof PU-coated nylon or high-density ABS plastic to ensure durability and practicality.
5. Compression socks
Socks might seem like a boring gift, but not compression socks. For long-distance travelers, compression socks are a lifesaver. They improve circulation, reduce fatigue and pain, and minimize swelling. Look for breathable materials like bamboo or organic cotton for softness and comfort.
6. Portable power bank
A portable power bank is a must-have for people always on the go. Opt for compact yet powerful items (2000-3000mAh) that won’t take up much space in the traveler’s bag.
7. Accessory bag
An accessory bag is a practical travel merch that’s just as useful in daily life. It easily holds toiletries, accessories, and other essentials. A simple, minimalist design will appeal to the majority of travelers. Also, look for a spacious main pocket and a secure zipper to keep everything organized and safe.
8. Travel organizer
When traveling, small documents like passports, luggage tags, and tickets always seem to have nowhere to go and are easy to lose. A branded travel organizer is a perfect gift that takes the stress out of the journey.
Look for lightweight options with multiple compartments to keep everything neat and easy to find.
9. Lip balm
Airplane cabins tend to have dry air, so it’s a great idea to complement your travel swag box with a lip balm. It’s a thoughtful essential for on-the-go hydration.
In our travel catalog, we offer lip balms in paper-tube and round metal case options, both with SPF15 protection.
10. Branded earplugs
Transport noise can make it challenging to fall asleep, even at night. Especially when your neighbor is snoring or a child is crying. That’s why earplugs are a great travel swag idea.
Loop earplugs not only look elegant in a custom case but also are known as the most efficient sound blocker. They filter out disturbing background noises when it’s time to rest and relax. Plus, they come in various models tailored to different needs. We recommend the Quiet series, offering 24dB of noise reduction.
11. Pocket hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer is simple yet practical travel merch that keeps hands clean on the go. We recommend choosing compact, refillable options that fit easily in any bag or pocket. Also, go for formulas with added care, like aloe vera or shea butter, to keep your hands hydrated.
In our travel catalog, you will find a hand sanitizer with a hydrating formula enriched with aloe extract. The 50ml bottle comes in a variety of scents: rose, vanilla, mango, coconut, and fig.
12. Passport holder
A custom passport holder keeps travel documents like passports and tickets secure and organized. For a touch of luxury, opt for high-quality materials like cowhide leather and designs featuring logos from premium brands. For example, many of our clients choose Cerutti and Hugo Boss passport holders.
13. Universal travel adapter
A universal travel adapter is a go-to accessory for charging devices anywhere in the world without worrying about plug compatibility. Add your company’s logo and practical travel merch is ready to go!
14. Weekend bag
A branded weekend bag can be used for multiple purposes, such as going to the gym, traveling, or everyday use. Choose lightweight, waterproof PU-coated fabric to keep it durable and perfect for frequent use.
In our catalog, we offer a weekend bag that folds into a wallet-sized pouch for easy storage but expands to hold a surprising amount of gear.
15. Bamboo T-shirt or long sleeve
A comfortable T-shirt is a must-have for stress-free travel. Choose soft and lightweight fabrics like bamboo jerseys. It’s perfect for flights because it keeps you cool, dry, and cozy. Plus, it doesn’t absorb odors and feels weightless on your skin.
16. Travel tag
Help your employees spot their luggage quickly with a branded travel tag. This small, practical item reduces the risk of lost luggage—and gives your company extra visibility as it travels with your employees worldwide.
