It's generally agreed upon by all experienced female travellers that you should never travel without a scarf. Is it a pillow, blanket, shawl? Likely you'll use it as all three. Gift your bestie the ultimate luxury, an alpaca or cashmere scarf like this Cuyana one. She'll thank you later when she's toasty warm under the airplane's torturous air-conditioning system.

As tech seeps into every aspect of our lives these days, it's no surprise that the Apple Watch is a must-have for travellers. With access to texts, emails, maps and even a fitness tracker at the touch of a button, the Apple Watch makes life simple for the busy traveller.

Sony's newest headphones have easily become best in class when it comes to noise-cancelling. Babies crying? Can't hear em. Businessman talking obnoxious loud? Silence. Not only that, but they fit comfortably on the ears for a long period of time and have a battery life that lasts a whopping 30 hours.

This particular camera is not only stylish, but also features a smart flash that calculates exposure based on the distance of the subject for a just-right brightness and specific shooting modes for different environments.

Gresso Sunglasses

If your buddy is super into sustainability (shouldn't we all be?) Gresso sunglasses will make for the perfect gift. The company uses 3D on demand digital production, using one whole piece of material which reduces waste almost to nothing. Plus, the combination of titanium frames and strong Carl Zeis nylon lenses makes the sunglasses virtually undestroyable, meaning they'll last forever. 

   

Hydro Flask

There is nothing more important when travelling as staying hydrated. Water helps repair your skin and adjust to timezones, so a water bottle is the ultimate travel accessory in our books. Hydro Flask is our favourite for keeping beverages cold up to 24 hours and hot up to 12 hours. Not only does it come in a rainbow of fun colours, but it also has a lifetime warranty! 

   

Slip Silk Scrunchies
