Adidas is going big on gear for the quickly approaching 2026 FIFA World Cup with new vintage-inspired pieces fans are sure to fall head over cleats for. To celebrate the upcoming soccer (or fútbol) tournament, the brand has released a smattering of brand-new merch, including the Bringback collection, full of retro clothing items, and the Trefoil Away Kit collection, which reintroduces Adidas’s old-school Trefoil logo on new ’90s-style away jerseys inspired by the archives.

The Bringback collection was released in January 2026, and features styles that support top competing nations around the world, like Argentina, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. The collection is primarily made up of unique off-field wear, like oversized, knit, and V-neck pieces based on older kits, as well as edgy, upcycled styles. The Trefoil Away Kit collection, on the other hand, was unveiled in March and covers the on-field side of things—everything was designed for elite players to wear themselves, but is also available for fans to purchase. For those who might not know, the Trefoil is Adidas’s original logo: a three-leaf symbol introduced in the 1970s and used on classic soccer kits around the world before being replaced by the modern logo in 1990. The new collection features official away jerseys for 25 partner federations—each boasts a Trefoil on the chest and leans heavily into nostalgic ’90s design.

As for what’s already in my shopping cart from these new drops? Colorful, oversized jerseys with retro-inspired graphics, denim track jackets that look like they’ll be as comfortable on a plane as they would be in a stadium, and some adorable reconstructed jersey tops I wouldn’t mind donning in the stands. And don’t get me started on the new bags and accessories: the Airliner duffels, mascot totes, and crossbody bags are stamped with World Cup iconography and have major collectible appeal.

Adidas’s archive-driven approach underscores why the brand has long been trusted by players and fans alike: it knows the tournament, the culture around it, and how fans actually engage with it. This isn’t just any sports gear—it’s a wearable record of soccer history all around the world, designed to move with you, mark the occasion, and endure (with style) long after the final whistle. Here’s what to shop from Adidas’s FIFA-forward new designs.

Reconstructed jerseys

Endlessly cool and timeless, these restructured classics are some of the hottest drops we’ve seen in the wake of the 2026 World Cup. Shop reconstructed and remixed jerseys—some of which have even been turned into chic one-shoulder tops—from your favorite national teams below before they sell out.

7 Luxury Game Sets to Play at Home and On the Road https://www.globalfinancesdaily.com/7-luxury-game-sets-to-play-at-home-and-on-the-road/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=7-luxury-game-sets-to-play-at-home-and-on-the-road Mon, 08 Dec 2025 18:28:19 +0000 https://www.globalfinancesdaily.com/7-luxury-game-sets-to-play-at-home-and-on-the-road/ The holidays are quickly approaching and with them comes the eternal question: what’s the best gift to give that’s not already under everyone’s tree?

The holidays are quickly approaching and with them comes the eternal question: what’s the best gift to give that’s not already under everyone’s tree? So forget cashmere socks or packing cubes (as much as we love them), and instead consider the type of present that pulls double duty: luxury game sets.

We’re not talking about a deluxe edition of Scrabble, here. We mean board games and card sets so elegant and chic that they can act as a statement design piece in someone’s living room, or come with carrying cases that also serve as sleek travel accessories. And of course, unlike a paperweight or vase, you can actually play them.

There’s also no better time to get reacquainted with everything from backgammon to dominoes than the holiday season. As the end of the year (hopefully) slows down, it gives all of us a much-needed opportunity to decompress with friends and family, whether at home or on vacation. And what brings everyone together better than a rollicking poker night or even playing Go Fish? Below, find seven of our favorite luxury game sets to gift this season, from playing cards to Tic-Tac-Toe.

While a roll-up travel backgammon set isn’t a new concept‚ you’d be hard-pressed to find one chicer than Dior’s. Designed by Cordelia de Castellane for the CD Entrelacés collection, the cotton and cowhide leather piece features an eye-catching blue, red, and orange pattern on the outside, and sleek acrylic backgammon chips in beige and navy. And at just 12 inches when rolled, it’s easy to toss into a tote bag before a trip to the beach or park.

MZ Wallace

MZ Wallace x Bananagrams game pouch

Do you have a friend who really likes Bananagrams? Like, really likes it? Rather than gifting them a plain ol’ set of the word game, level up with this Bananagrams purse from MZ Wallace. Wearable as a crossbody and featuring MZ Wallace’s signature quilting in a cheery yellow, the interior easily fits a full-size, banana-shaped game pouch. Use the adjustable, brown webbing strap to tailor its fit exactly to your specs, whether worn tight like a fanny pack or low and slouchy.

Prada

Saffiano Leather Tic-Tac-Toe set

Forget playing Tic-Tac-Toe on a piece of scrap paper: Prada just elevated the elementary school game to elegant heights with its travel-friendly, leather-accented set. Composed of a black Saffiano leather case that unzips to reveal a metal and red leather-lined game board and coordinating Prada-branded playing pieces, the game is small enough to fit in a weekender bag or backpack, but stylish enough to leave out on display. Plus, the square case can double as a small travel pouch when not carrying the game board. Two for the price of one?

Tiffany & Co.

Facets poker set

For a poker night that channels more Monaco than Las Vegas, consider scooping up this refined set from Tiffany & Co, which comes with two decks of playing cards, leather-accented silver chips, and dealer coin embossed with the brand’s signature blue. And, in an ode to the jewelry house’s legacy, the whole set is housed in a Nappa leather box (also in Tiffany blue) that’s reminiscent of a faceted gem.

Hermes

Samarcande II chess set

For a chess set that doubles as a statement decor piece, look no further than this mahogany and leather number. Hermès, of course, is best known for its impossible-to-snag leather handbags, like the famed Birkin and Kelly, but the brand’s range of home goods should not be overlooked. Its chess set, made of mahogany and cassia woods, is a perfect example why. It features hand-sculpted sycamore and jackfruit wood pawns with Clou de Selle engraved stainless steel weights, and even saddle-stitched handles of taurillon H leather. Drawers on either side ensure safe keeping of your king, queen, and all your pieces when not in use.

Dolce & Gabbana

Domino box set

Today Dominoes may be more well-known for its role in viral toppling videos, but if you’re looking to get back into the actual game, a stylish set can help. One of our favorites is this gorgeous set from Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana, which features pieces and a box printed with a motif based on an archival scarf design inspired by Carretto Sicilano. Plexiglass-constructed dominoes mean they’re durable, and everything fits neatly in a removable tray when not in use.

Your playing cards deserve more than to be kept in the kitchen junk drawer. And what better way to upgrade than in a two-tone, Nappa leather-covered wooden box from one of Italy’s most storied brands? Fashion house Fendi created this card set to be as much an objet d’art as useful, which means the beige-and-yellow case embossed with the house’s logo is equally at home on your living room shelf or opened on your dining room table. We also love the cards themselves, which are printed with a macro-sized Fendi double-F logo.

The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics are finally starting to feel really, really real—because Ralph Lauren just dropped its Team USA 2026 collection. The all-American designer (whose “Christmas aesthetic” is likely taking over your social media feeds as we speak) has been outfitting US Olympians and Paralympians for nearly 20 years, and the same will be true for these upcoming Games. But you don’t need to be an outstanding athlete to get the gear—in fact, you don’t even need to leave your couch. You can buy Team USA’s iconic Opening and Closing Ceremony uniforms—as well as a whole host of other limited-edition pieces designed in honor of the 2026 Games—right now on the Ralph Lauren website. And it’s great timing, honestly, because the holidays are just around the corner.

If you’ve got an Olympics fanatic, Team USA die-hard, or even just an Italy obsessive in your life (including yourself), these patriotic pieces would make for incredible gifts—especially if they’ve got plans to travel to Northern Italy to attend the Games. From a sleek toggle coat that will be keeping the country’s finest warm to a timeless turtleneck that can be passed down for generations, this collection has a little bit of everything for everyone. The only downside? It’s already so popular, items have been flying off the metaphorical shelves. So if there’s a piece that catches your eye, channel your inner speed skater and move quick while it’s still in stock. (We’ll also keep updating this story with news of restocks, so keep your eyes peeled!)

Ready to shop? Scroll down for our favorite women’s clothing, men’s clothing, and accessories from the new collection. And if you are lucky enough to be headed to Italy for the Olympics in the new year, start building your wish list—you’ll be able to snag pieces from Ralph Lauren locations in Milan and Rome, as well as at a special pop-up shop at the Rosapetra Hotel in Cortina during the Games.

Cabeau Inc

Evolution S3 travel pillow

Kusshi

Everyday makeup bag

From the water-resistant, brightly colored inner lining and trio of interior pockets to the compact, flat-bottomed shape and three-sided zipper, every last detail of this makeup bag has been cleverly designed for trouble-free rummaging and organization.

Brooklinen

It’s a favorite of several Traveler editors for catching some z’s on long-haul flights. The best-selling mask is available in five solid colors and two prints.

Tumi

Jewelry case

The hard outer shell of this case protects jewelry during travels, while little nooks, slot rolls, and hooks keep earrings, necklaces, and bracelets separated and tangle-free. It’s small enough to pack on quick trips while being roomy enough for destination weddings and longer vacations.

Mark & Graham

Fillmore vegan leather passport case

Choose from a variety of fonts, colors, and designs to customize a passport cover for the international traveler in your life. Pro tip: A bonus of going with a brighter color is that it’s that much easier to find in your bag when you need it.

Portable charger luggage tag

This portable battery pack from Calpak doubles as a luggage tag thanks to its sleek faux leather case, which can be attached to your suitcase. In other words, you’ll never get caught at the gate with a dead phone and no access to your boarding pass.

The Everything cube

True to its name, this bag can be used for a variety of things; it’s roomy enough to fill up with snacks, charging cords, or the jumble of in-flight necessities that usually float around in the bottom of your tote. It has a water-resistant lining and multiple interior and exterior pockets for easy access.

The Wander Club

Wanderchain

Think of this as the modern version of the pressed penny souvenir: The vegetable-tanned keychain can be customized with engraved tokens for every state, country, or continent visited. Plus, as a member of 1% for the Planet, the company donates a portion of each order to sustainability initiatives.

Aloha

Cabin crew kit

Known for Hawaiian-themed travel accessories crafted from the brand’s proprietary Splash-Proof material, Aloha’s bags are lightweight, water-resistant, and very packable.

Dewenwils

Rechargeable book reading light

This tiny, portable reading light packs a powerful punch. It attaches securely to your book and has a swiveling head with two brightness levels. Plus it’s rechargeable via USB, with a battery life long enough to cover multiple page-turners’ worth of reading.

Counterpart

Retractable charger

Sure, you can find random ways to organize and corral all those charging cords when traveling, but here’s a more streamlined solution. This aesthetically pleasing USB-C charger has fold-down prongs and a four-foot cord that conveniently retracts back into itself.

Outdoor gear

High Camp Tumbler set

Whether serving your beverage neat or on the rocks, these insulated stainless steel tumblers are designed to last through countless happy hours in the backyard or backcountry. They also pack up neatly in a wool felt case for easy carrying.

Owala

SmoothSip Slider tumbler

Owala is known for its fun-colored water bottles, but its travel mugs are equally amazing. This light pink, 20-ounce mug keeps hot coffee or tea hot for hours and is completely leakproof.

Wise Owl Outfitters

Camping hammock

Lounge comfortably in your own backyard with this outdoor camping hammock. It folds down into a small storage pouch, and is incredibly lightweight while still able to hold up to 400 pounds of weight.

Mpowerd

Solar inflatable lantern

Just as appropriate for camping as for mood lighting in the backyard, this inflatable light is completely solar powered, so there are no cords or batteries to mess with. It cycles through eight different colors and lasts up to six hours on a single charge.

Third Eye Headlamps

TE14 headlamp

Whether you’re going off the grid or want to read in bed long after your partner has fallen asleep, this artist-designed headlamp is great for lighting the way, hands-free. Choose from over 20 strap patterns and 4 headlamp colors for customized gear that doesn’t look overly outdoors-y. The battery-operated light has 6 settings that range from SOS-style flashing white to night vision-preserving red light that’s ideal for wildlife viewing.

Nomadix

The Original towel

Made from certified post-consumer recycled plastic, this ultra-absorbent towel can be used for yoga, camping, the pool, and pretty much everything in between. It’s also guaranteed to stand out on the beach courtesy of the vibrant print options available, from classic stripes to national park-inspired patterns.

JBL

Go 4 portable speaker

Waterproof, dustproof, and practically everything-proof, this pocket-sized speaker is perfect for streaming your favorite tunes or podcasts while on the go. It’s available in eight fun color combos, and the best part is you can bring it on your beach vacation without a care when it inevitably gets sand kicked on it.

Swiss Army

Classic Knife

For any outdoorsy traveler on your list, you can’t go wrong with a classic Swiss Army knife. It fits in a small fanny pack or sling bag and comes in handy for hiking or camping adventures.

Patagonia

Capilene midweight liner gloves

Every traveler needs a warm, well-made pair of gloves come winter. This ultra-soft, moisture-wicking pair from Patagonia are as great for cold-weather hikes as they are for city sightseeing.

Quince

Mongolian cashmere pom pom beanie

Crafted from luxuriously soft Mongolian cashmere, this cozy beanie from Quince will be appreciated by snowboarders and après skiers alike. Plus, who can resist a pom-pom during a bout of winter gloom?

Gutimo

Rechargeable hand warmers (pack of two)

A set of rechargeable hand warmers like this two-pack can keep your fingers warm for up to 12 hours after a three hour charge, and mean you don’t have to abandon exploring some magnificent winter wonderland vistas.

It’s the kind of smart, ultralight gear you’ll be glad to have on hand, whether you’re trekking through the backcountry or navigating an off-the-grid escape.

Clothing, shoes, and accessories

Bombas

Gripper slipper

This sock-meet-slipper bootie has a soft brushed lining and grippy bottoms and comes in everything from heathered neutrals to festive Fair Isle patterns.

Everlane

A warm cardigan is an essential for chilly fall and winter mornings. Throw on this one to run errands, venture out to a museum, grab coffee (or a cocktail), and, well, pretty much anything in between.

Quince

Mongolian cashmere crewneck sweater

Another one of our favorite staples from Quince is this cashmere crewneck. Its super-soft, lightweight, and works for just about any winter getaway.

L.L.Bean

Boat and Tote

L.L.Bean’s classic Boat and Tote bag holds everything you need for a day trip and packs completely flat in your carry-on. It’s great for souvenirs or to have just in case.

Baggu

Pleated baggu bag

Parachute

Classic Turkish Cotton slippers

Crafted from 100% Turkish cotton terry, these plush slippers are like a spa robe for your feet. To complete the cozy at-home look, add Parachute’s matching Classic bathrobe to your cart, too.

Commbi

Everyday socks

Leave it to the makers of uber comfortable slides and mules to create cozy, breathable socks. These are soft without being overly so (and risking pilling or wearing down too quickly), with just the right amount of stretch and thickness to pair comfortably with shoes or wear alone for padding lazily around the house or a hotel room.

Beauty and wellness

L’Occitane

Hand cream set

A good hand cream is an in-flight must, and in terms of hydrating and nourishing, this travel-friendly set from L’occitane is about as good as it gets. It comes with three 1-oz. tubes in classic shea butter, almond, and lavender scents.

Le Labo

All-In-One cleanser

Infused with aloe and botanical extracts, this skin-softening cleanser from New York City–based Le Labo can be used head-to-toe—taking a simple act of hygiene to the next level with its classic yet luxurious scent of lavender, bergamot, and violet.

Act+Acre

Scalp gua sha

There’s nothing more relaxing than a soothing scalp massage. This beautiful, weighty comb is carved from jade (and comes in varying shades of serene green); it is designed to relieve tension and help stimulate circulation. It’s perfect for pairing with your favorite hair treatment for a calming self-care ritual.

Aesop

Ginger Flight Therapy roll-on

Whether you’re looking for relief after a marathon of luggage-laden travel or a little help unwinding from back-to-back Zoom meetings, this soothing botanical blend of lavender, ginger root, and geranium provides just the right dose of self-care in a TSA-approved roller ball size. Pro tip: Dab it on your pulse points and pair with an eye mask and noise-canceling headphones for brief moments of zen.

Merit Beauty

Mini Great Skin Serum

Give the gift of great skin with Merit Beauty’s best-selling serum. This mini size is TSA-approved and fits nicely in any Dopp kit.

Kate McLeod

Grounding stone

Formulated with five ultra nourishing oils and butters (cocoa, sweet almond, apricot kernel, fractionated coconut, and avocado), this sculptural moisturizer softens as it comes into contact with warm, dry skin. Bask in the calming mix of woody vetiver and zesty bergamot, and use it as a massage stone for an incredibly relaxing and indulgent self-care ritual that rivals a day at your favorite spa.

111Skin

Jetsetter wallet

Created by a plastic and reconstructive surgeon, 111 Skin is beloved for its super luxurious, highly effective products—and the brand’s brightening, firming, invigorating under-eye masks are no exception. This trio is perfect for stashing in your toiletry bag and saving for jet-lagged mornings or anytime your complexion is in need of a pick-me-up.

Rhode

The peptide eye prep set

Merit Beauty

Flush cream blush

Merit’s Flush cream blush is just the right size to keep in your purse for quick, on-the-go touches. It melts effortlessly into the skin and makes blending in your blush easier than ever.

Touchland

A luxe alternative to your standard hand sanitizer, this trio is packaged in a pocket-friendly shape, has hydrating aloe vera, and, thanks to delicate, pretty scents like lavender and vanilla makes you want to have it with you at all times.

Home goods

Bee Harmony

Honey flight

Raw, sustainably sourced, and utterly therapeutic, these wildcrafted honeys are hand-harvested from apiaries around the country. Break up the set to gift as foodie stocking stuffers—or hoard one or two for yourself.

Fazeek

They also double as a fragrant ornament, and thanks to the ornate packaging, require no additional wrapping.

Assouline

From Louis to Vuitton coffee table book

Louis Vuitton has always been on the move. Before the French fashion house became a fixture on runways and red carpets, it was a problem-solver for travelers—crafting trunks that could survive ocean crossings, train rides, and rough handling on bustling platforms. Now, a new 406-page book, From Louis to Vuitton, published by Assouline, celebrates the brand’s history of innovation, and retraces how its own identity was shaped by transportation itself.

Told through 320 images, the tome begins with the invention that changed everything: the flat-topped, stackable trunk. The piece of luggage wasn’t just elegant, either; it was practical, designed to fit neatly in the holds of ships and on train carriages. Across the century and a half that followed, Louis Vuitton adapted its craftsmanship to every mode of transport imaginable: rail, sea, air, and now, the racetrack. From Louis to Vuitton charts the house’s relationship with movement in all its forms. The Hemingway literary trunk, built to hold manuscripts on the go, sits alongside modern creations tied to F-1 and the America’s Cup.

History and innovation sit side by side throughout the book. Find sleek imagery of Formula 1 cars and sailing vessels adjacent to archival photos of the Asnières workshop, founded by Louis Vuitton in 1859. It’s where each bespoke trunk and hard-sided case is still handcrafted by artisans using a blend of 19th-century techniques and modern technology today.

In collaboration with Formula 1, Louis Vuitton now also designs the official trophy trunks—handcrafted in the Asnières workshop and custom-built from poplar wood and coated canvas, reinforced with brass corners and leather trim. The trunks travel the F-1 circuit from Monaco to Miami, designed to protect the championship trophies through every transfer, handling, and race-day commotion. On the water, its partnership with the America’s Cup follows a similar philosophy: artisans spend more than 400 hours creating bespoke, water-resistant, and compact trunks to house both the Auld Mug and Challenger trophies.

Even the book’s limited-edition case—with just 54 custom trunks produced—ties back to that lineage. Vuitton has long made trunks for books, like Hemingway’s to one-of-a-kind commissions for collectors. Regardless of their purpose, Louis Vuitton’s early trunks were meant to last—coated canvas, brass corners, and reinforced stitching made them companions to invest in—and those same design principles continue in the house’s contemporary luggage: lightweight aluminum frames on the Horizon cases by Marc Newson, double-zip security systems, and interiors designed for increased structural strength and packing space.

More Louis Vuitton bags we love

Here, we round up a few modern-day pieces from the book that you can purchase for a timeless travel collection of your own.

Women’s clothing

When it comes to travel-friendly clothing, comfort and versatility are key; however, that doesn’t mean you have to forgo style altogether. Ideal for year-round wear, the basics below—many of which are among the department store’s bestsellers—offer the perfect combination of all three, including Spanx’s buttery soft AirEssentials wide-leg pants (which, as you can guess by their name, are ideal for long-haul flights) as well as stretchy, moisture-wicking leggings that can be worn in the gym and while sightseeing. We’ve also highlighted some of our favorite tops, including an oh-so-cozy crewneck and a timeless T-shirt for layering under your favorite cardigan or jacket on chilly planes.

Consider snagging a pair of waterproof boots for rainy weather, slip-on sneakers for everyday wear, or running shoes that double as kicks for your next hiking adventure. Ahead, our favorite footwear from Traveler-loved brands like Ugg, Birkenstock, Hoka, and more.

Ugg

Coquette Shearling-lined slipper

Options abound, from compression socks to help reduce swelling and boost circulation while in flight to handy Dopp kits and space-saving folding jewelry cases. To make the journey to your giftee’s destination all the more enjoyable, stock up on accessories like memory foam travel pillows or a sumptuous silk set—complete with a sleep mask, pillow case, and scrunchies—from Blissy so they can catch up on z’s from (almost) anywhere.

We’re also rounding out our picks with functional yet surprisingly fun finds, like the Nori portable steamer for wrinkle-free outfits and travel-themed bag charms that add a playful touch—and make luggage easier to spot at baggage claim. We also highly recommend checking out Cadence’s magnetic capsules: this set of chic, TSA-compliant travel bottles are completely leakproof and keep hair products and skincare essentials organized on the go.

Luggage

Splurging on a frequent flier? Consider upgrading their luggage. Nordstrom offers a robust selection of suitcasescarry-ons and checked options included—weekenders, and backpacks bags from popular brands like Rimowa, Dagne Dover, and Tumi. If they often take longer trips, the bigger the suitcase, the better—and you can’t go wrong with Rimowa’s 30-inch check-in option. We also love durable carry-ons from Béis and Monos. For shorter sojourns, consider a duffel like Béis’s popular Weekender bag that holds enough for a two-to-three day getaway.

In addition to roomy totes from fan-favorite brands like Cuyana and MZ Wallace, we also included a handful of convertible bags, which, as the name suggests, mean they can be carried at least two ways (think: a crossbody bag that converts into a clutch or a backpack that doubles as a tote). We’re also eyeing the Brooklyn 28 shoulder bag from Coach for carrying essentials effortlessly from day to night.

MZ Wallace

Medium Metro Tote Deluxe

Top picks:


Jump to the best gifts for teens by category:


For tech-obsessed teens

Apple AirPods Max headphones

A pair of noise-canceling headphones, especially ones as sleek as the Apple AirPods Max, will be much appreciated by any teen traveler. Not only are they great to block out noise on a flight, they’ll get use on bus or car rides to school, too.

Sony ZV-1F Vlog camera

If you know a teen who’s eager to get into content creation, you might just want to gift them a high-quality vlogging camera like this one from Sony. Enjoy features like its self timer, face priority, and active mode stabilization—in case your hand gets shaky.

Camp Snap digital camera

I’m gifting a few people on my list this Camp Snap digital camera. The lightweight, screen-free digital camera is perfect for travel and fits conveniently in a sling bag or fanny pack. It gives that retro aesthetic you want of your cabin trip upstate or your camping getaway with friends. It’s easy to use, nice to look at, and offers three different film styles (standard, vintage, and black and white).

Camkory FHD 1080P

Commerce writer Jessica Chapel raves about this under-$50 digital camera. “It’s the perfect gift for on-the-go beginners who are bored of their phone pictures,” says Chapel. Get this for any young traveler who wants the fun a digital camera offers without the hefty price tag and all the fuss of fancier models. It’s available in pink, purple, green, black, and white.

Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition

If the bookworm in your life doesn’t have a Kindle yet, what are you waiting for? It’s lightweight, easy to pack, and keeps you entertained on the go.

JBL Go 4 portable speaker

I bring this JBL portable speaker with me everywhere: to the beach, the park, and my own backyard. Its surprisingly small for how loud it can be if needed, meaning they’ll never question if it’s worth the (minimal) packing room.

Apple iPad Mini (6th generation)

Any teen will appreciate an iPad, especially the lightweight mini that’s easy to travel with. It fits nicely into any travel backpack without adding the bulk of a laptop.

Apple Pencil Pro

The Apple Pencil Pro lets you take notes, sketch, and illustrate on your iPad with ease. If drawing or creating custom graphics is their thing, they’ll love this creative tool.

Nintendo Switch

Know a teen who’s newly obsessed with gaming? Gift them the popular Nintendo Switch.

Audio-Technica bluetooth record player

Everyone loves music—and any teen will enjoy the look of this sleek, modern record player in their room.

Hatch Restore 2

If you’re stuck on what to gift the teen in your life, we suggest something that will make their busy morning and nighttime routines a little less hectic, like the Hatch Restore 2 alarm clock that gradually wakes them up much more gently than a phone does.

For teens who spend most of their time outdoors

Wekapo Inflatable Lounger

This inflatable lounger is portable, so you can bring it for a trip to the beach, onto the quad, or to watch outdoor movies.

Sewanta camping hammock

Who wouldn’t want a portable hammock? It’s ideal for camping trips and backyard fun.

Carhartt knit cuffed beanie

This knit cuffed beanie from Carharrt is a bestseller for its supreme warmth and classic style.

Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Mini Hip Pack

Patagonia’s ultralight hip pack is made for hiking, camping, sightseeing, or any other outdoor adventure when you want to stay hands-free.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

The Lululemon Everywhere belt bag is a favorite among teens (and our editors) for its size, style, and versatility.

Nike sling bag

Nike’s sling bag is a great pick for travel days when you just need a few essentials. There’s enough room for your phone, a snack, wallet, and some sunnies.

Béis The Water Bottle Sling

For those days when you’re hiking or walking and only need your water bottle and a few small essentials, take the Béis water bottle sling with you.

Stanley Quencher H2.0 Flowstate tumbler

The Queen Bee of water bottles, we guarantee your teen will appreciate a new Stanley tumbler. It keeps water cold all day long, has a large handle for easy carrying, and just looks good!

Owala FreeSip water bottle

Owala’s FreeSip water bottles are trending for their fun colors and unique look. We also love how leakproof it is, making it the ideal choice for road trips and flights when it might get knocked around.

For teens who follow TikTok beauty trends

Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Jet Set

Sol de Janeiro’s body products smell amazing—seriously, they are so good. This set comes with three bestsellers, including the viral Bum Bum Cream.

E.L.F. Cosmetics Glow Reviver lip oil kit

The E.L.F lip oils offer a nice shine and pop of color without being sticky—and they’re very compact.

Canitor spa set

If your teen spends hours watching makeup “get ready with me” videos on TikTok, get them this set. It comes with headbands and a clip to keep hair at bay while applying makeup or washing your face, and two covers for your wrist (so no water drips down your arm—annoying!).

Shark FlexStyle Air Drying and Styling System

If you really want to spoil the teen you know, surprise them with the Dyson Airwrap or the Shark FlexStyle. (Not sure which of these hair tools is right for your giftee? Check out our in-depth comparison here.)

Summer Fridays Mini Cloud pouch

This Mini Cloud Pouch from Summer Fridays holds plenty of travel beauty essentials, from lip balm and hand cream to hair ties and clips.

Yoolife makeup bag

Makeup bags are a must! We love these that come with your giftee’s initial. (For a slightly elevated option, I can’t recommend this one from Parallelle enough.)

Rhode Peptide Lip Treatments

If they are obsessed with Hailey Bieber (guilty), they’ll love trying out all four scents of Rhode’s Peptide Lip Treatments. The shades included are vanilla, salted caramel, watermelon slice, and unscented.

Rhode Fall lip case

And once they are hooked on Rhode’s yummy lip treatments, they simply must have a matching phone case that holds their current shade.

Kitsch satin heatless curling set

Heatless curls are all the rage right now. It’s better for your hair and pretty easy to use once they get the hang of it (some travelers even apply these on a long flight!).

Slip Silk Sleepmask

Speaking of long flights, everyone needs a silky, soft sleep mask to block out light while traveling. I bring one with me on every trip.

For fashion-forward teens

Patagonia Retro Pile jacket

A cozy fleece jacket like this one from Patagonia will last for years to come and really keeps you warm.

Patagonia Better Sweater jacket

Another super-soft pick we love from Patagonia, the Better Sweater jacket is so versatile and lightweight enough to pack even in a carry-on.

Lululemon Define Jacket Nulu

This light pink shade of Lululemon’s Define Jacket is simply adorable! It’s great for a pilates or yoga class.

Lululemon 28” Align pant

Lululemon’s Align leggings really are one of the best—stretchy, supportive, and high-waisted, they last for years.

Aritzia The Super Puff

A winter coat is one staple you don’t want to skimp on. The Super Puff is so, so warm and will hold up well after years of wear.

Nike Sportswear Club hoodie

If you’re not sure what their personal style is, you can’t go wrong with a simple hoodie, like this one from Nike. It’s versatile enough to wear to the airport, to class, and lounging at home.

Adidas Samba OG sneakers

The Adidas Samba OG sneakers have been trending for some time now, and for good reason—they offer a sporty yet chic look and are actually comfortable enough to wear for a full day of walking.

Gola Elan sneaker

Another trending pair of kicks we’re loving—the Gola Elan sneakers. The fun blue hue makes them a bit more unique, adding a pop of color to any outfit while still providing ample support .

Ugg Scuffette II slippers

Upgrade that old, dirty pair of slippers they’re wearing with this fan-favorite from Ugg. They feature the brand’s signature super-soft interior that keep you warm and cozy.

Ugg Tasman slippers

The Tasman offers all the warmth and comfort of a classic Ugg slipper with just a little more support, making them suitable to wear outdoors or the airport.

Coach Tabby Shoulder Bag 20

A versatile shoulder bag is a must-have, especially one that’s both equally chic and practical like the Coach Tabby. It can worn as a crossbody, too.

For teens planning a trip next year

Away The Bigger Carry-On

Any traveler will appreciate a new piece of luggage as a gift this season. Away’s Bigger Carry-On is one of our tried-and-true favorites for its roomy interior, durable shell, and minimalist design.

Beis The Carry-On Roller

We also recommend The Carry-On Roller from Béis. It’s decently priced and offers lots of organizational features on the inside. There’s also a built-in weight indicator so you never have to worry about extra baggage fees.

Calpak Evry Starter Bundle

If you’re shopping for a new traveler, gifting them a luggage set like this from Calpak is a smart choice. This offers everything they’ll need, including a carry-on, checked suitcase, packing cubes, and a shoe bag.

Calpak Luka duffel

If they’re always headed on weekend trips with friends or coming back home from college for holiday breaks, a good weekender is just the thing. I recommend this duffel bag from Calpak for travelers of any age—there are endless pockets, a shoe compartment, and the super-soft handle is easy on your shoulder.

Dagne Dover Dakota Backpack (Small)

Thinking of gifting them a new backpack for school? Consider Dagne Dover’s ultra-soft and sleek Dakota backpack.

Calpak Insulated Lunch Bag

If they always bring their lunch to school or love to go on picnics in the park, this insulated lunch bag is a nice upgrade. I bring this one with me to the office every day and always receive compliments.

Parima jewelry case

A jewelry case is an essential for travel, otherwise all your favorite necklaces and bracelets will end up tangled. This cute, compact option can be personalized, too.

For their stocking

Apple AirTag

Losing your luggage is every traveler’s worst nightmare. AirTags help you keep your belongings and give some peace of mind to both teens and their parents.

iWalk small portable charger

A portable charger really is the ultimate travel essential. This one is compact enough to fit in your jacket pocket or a small fanny pack.

The Five Minute Journal

The Five-Minute Journal encourages daily mindfulness—even when you don’t have a lot time. It features simple prompts that encourage gratitude, goal setting, and reflection.

Hoyle waterproof playing cards

The waterproof playing cards are nice for the beach, camping trips, or really anywhere you’re traveling.

Octobuddy silicone phone case

The Octobuddy can be suctioned to mirrors, windows, and any smooth surface for hands-free video and pictures on your phone.

Kimwood clip on ring light

If they’re always taking selfies or recording TikToks, gift them this mini ring light that clips right onto their phone.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm

The Lip Butter Balm from Summer Fridays is a must-have for any purse, backpack, or makeup bag.

Touchland Power Mist hand sanitizer

Okay, hand sanitizer isn’t glamorous—or is it?—but it sure is practical. This slim case is easy to stuff in a purse or pocket to ward off germs.

Need some more inspo? Check out Traveler‘s Amazon Storefront for even more of our favorite travel gifts.

Spend any time in New York City and you’ll invariably encounter a shop selling “New York City Gifts.” And while there’s nothing wrong with a miniature Statue of Liberty or “Daddy’s Little Meatball” T-shirt in theory, the versions of these items you’ll find at street level are pretty poorly made. And annoyingly, these stores rarely list prices, operating on the fact that they can probably sell the same thing to two sets of customers at wildly different prices.

Hopefully, you know how to haggle. If you don’t though, there are ample ways to collect souvenirs of your time in New York that don’t require the skill. Plenty of New York City institutions will ship their collectibles directly to your house. You can get relics from the city’s best museums, foods from its best restaurants, even models of the cars from the occasionally functional subway system. Best of all, you won’t need to make room in your already rotund suitcase to bring them back home.

Read on for 40+ of the best NYC gifts for locals, former residents, and anyone enamored with the Big Apple.

Our top picks for NYC gifts:


Food gifts

Rubirosa Pasta Sampler

For over a decade, Rubirosa has been slinging delicious pies and pastas that have earned it fans like Meghan Markle, who referred to it as the “holy grail” of pizza, and Michelin reviewers, who deemed it worthy of a Bib Gourmand in 2012. If you miss the chance to visit the cozy Nolita space, buy its pasta sampler, or a box of its sauces and olive oil, to make at home.

Frankies 457 Calabrian Chili Oil

You have to actually visit Cobble Hill staple Frankies 457 in order to try its best dishes, like the cavatelli that’s paired with hot sausage, sage, and brown butter. But you can get the absolutely luscious, spiced olive oil they often drizzle on the pies at their pizza place next door. It’s a very delicious consolation prize.

H&H Bagels One Dozen Bagels

There is a cheaper way to get bagels back home—namely, just buying a dozen from whatever great shop is closest to your hotel the morning of your flight and putting it in a plastic bag. If you forget though, these H&H bagels will save you a lot of grief from whoever is waiting for you at home.

Di Fara Pizza Neapolitan Pizzas, 2-pack

Di Fara is located so deep into Brooklyn that even most New Yorkers haven’t been. Make sure whoever is lucky enough to be with you when you pull these out of the oven knows they’re being treated.

Heatonist Hot Ones Hot Sauce 10-pack, Season 25

Fans of “Hot Ones,” the show with hot questions and even hotter wings, should know the team sources its hot sauces with the help of Heatonist, a hot sauce emporium in Brooklyn. To get someone to try the 10 sauces celebrity guests are subjected to, just tell them it’s a condition of New York City citizenship.

Peter Luger Dry-Aged Bone-in Rib Steaks

Even though it’s been open since the 19th century, Peter Luger can still be a tough reservation to claim. Not to worry, if you’re at all competent behind the stove, the extremely high-quality products you can buy from the restaurant’s butcher shop are tough to ruin.

Sey Coffee Subscription

A monthly subscription to coffee roasted at Sey, an excellent coffee roaster based in Bushwick, will ensure you’ll always have the taste of New York within arm’s reach.

St. Agrestis Negroni, 4-pack

If you got to spend any time talking to New Yorkers during your trip, especially at bars, you know we love to argue. Bring these bottled Negronis, a divisive cocktail, to any party you worry will be a snooze fest—they’re sure to get the people talking.

Home goods

Great Bars of New York City: 30 of Manhattan’s Favorite Storied Drinking Establishments by James and Karl Murray

A love letter to the many wonderful watering holes New York currently has on offer and the many movements, relationships, and memories that began in them.

Ricky Flores “Congeros” (1984) print

Ricky Flores is a photojournalist based in the South Bronx. He’s won awards for his work covering 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy, but don’t sleep on his more intimate portraits of life in his home borough.

Original NY Coffee Cup, ceramic version, 2-pack

Just because you’re already back home, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t drink your coffee like it came from a cart on the street.

Staten Island Ferry ornament

For the many New Yorkers without cars, the Staten Island Ferry is the only way to get to our city’s most forgotten borough. Luckily, the apricot-hued ferry is a true looker.

Monet Sunflowers glass vase

Contrary to popular belief, you do not actually have to put sunflowers in this vase.

NYPL Library Card ornament

Having fun isn’t hard—when you’ve got a library-card-shaped-Christmas ornament.

Sanitary Inspection Mug

Depending on how much you like your giftee, you can either get them an “A” or a “Grade Pending” mug.

NYBG Wonderland Wildflower Seed Mix

Queens Unisphere coaster

Designed for the 1964 World’s Fair, the Unisphere has stood tall in Flushing Meadows, Queens, ever since. If you didn’t get a photo in front of it, at least you were able to bring one of these home.

Bacon, Egg & Cheese Breakfast Sandwich ornament

The bacon, egg, and cheese (pronounced: “baconeggncheese”) is elegant in its simplicity. Hot tip: It’s better if you ask for extra black pepper.

Yafa Bakhoor Sena

This aromatic resin, a traditional form of incense often used in Yemen, has notes of amber and wood.

Clothing, bags, and accessories

Old Jewish Men of New York Meats Jersey

Let’s go [checks notes] Meats!

MoMA NY Yankees 9TWENTY Corduroy adjustable baseball cap

A Yankees cap you can pull off even if you have no idea what a “walk-off” home run is.

Shop Rat embroidered mini tote

Brand new merch from the mind of Emilia Petrarca, whose newsletter celebrates the best shopping the city has on offer. Plus, the rat is so cute!

The Original Chinatown Ice Cream Factory necklace

Hopefully, you actually made the trip out to the Ice Cream factory and tried the matcha Oreo. If you didn’t, this necklace will certainly serve as a reminder never to make the same mistake again.

Paste I Heart NY T-Shirt on a T-shirt

We heard you like the “I Heart NY” shirt, so we put it on another shirt.

Nathan’s Famous Green/White Oversized Golf umbrella

Why shouldn’t your next new umbrella also signal your love for frankfurters?

Variety Coffee Tote

A capacious tote bag from one of New York’s best coffee chains that can still probably serve as a “personal item,” especially if there’s a treat in it for your gate agent.

Casa Magazines canvas bag

A mecca for print magazine fanatics, carrying over 2,000 titles. That includes a bunch you’ve heard of (like this one) and plenty you’ll likely never see again.

Allmansright UltraGrid Kross

In case you think all the apparel makers in New York only care about high fashion, let Allmansright correct the record. The Bronx-based label produces sturdy, ultralight stash bags and packs that’ll keep all your stuff protected during your next camping trip.

MRD Cosmetics Ambrosia Eau De Parfum

Marché Rue Dix is a restaurant, boutique, and salon in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. You can also buy the cosmetics and skincare used in the salon à la carte, including its vibrant liquid lipsticks, nail salons, and fragrances.

Collectibles and more

James Paulius Blockitecture Big Apple Collectors set

Slightly cartoonish, but extremely adorable recreations of the Crystler Building and One World Trade Center, the latter of which is where this magazine is made!

NYC Taxi Car

A big yellow taxi you can be sure won’t take away your old man. Unless, of course, he happens to be much smaller than your average city rat.

Wall Street Bull Sculpture

Minus the depressingly long line of people who are waiting to cradle its reproductive bits.

MTA Motorized Subway Train set

No one needs to know that you Ubered the whole time you were here. This set will eliminate any questions.

Museum of the Moving Image enamel pin

Tell me you’re a film buff without telling me you’re a film buff.

The Met New York Snow Globe

Were you disappointed it didn’t snow during your last visit to New York? It’s always snowing in the globe version.

Books Are Magic Cougar keychain

The friendly bookstore’s least-friendly keychain.

Rockaway Beach magnet

Reminder: New York has beaches!

ONLY NY DSNY Trash Can pen holder

Proof that even our trash cans can be weirdly chic.

Joe Coffee New York Pigeon enamel pin

Just don’t call them sky rats!

Coming Soon lighter

Evidence you were cool enough to visit the downtown temple to colorful vintage furniture and art, even if you don’t necessarily have the funds to afford any of it.
