The Ultimate Travel Essentials for the Jet-Setting Professional

A great travel experience isn’t just about timely departures, smooth connections, and easy arrivals. With all of the components that have to fall into place, there are a lot of situations with travel that are beyond control.

However, providing your recipients with company gifts that set them up for success ahead of time is a great way to ensure more comfortable, stress-free travel. These travel essentials are the perfect gifts for clients, executives, partners, or employees that have to fly frequently for business. 

Here is where you can find all of our adventure / travel essentials all in one place. 

Packing well is the key to having a successful (and comfortable) business trip.

First, your recipients need the right bag for the job. This is essential when setting them up for success on a business trip. A great bag should be not only compact (for storing in an overhead compartment, or even better, under the seat), but also well organized for keeping everything easy to access and safe.

Our favorite bags, perfect for professionals that travel for work:

Timbuk2 Messenger Bag
