A Frequent Flyer’s Holiday Picks: The Best Gifts for Travel
In 2024 alone, I’ve clocked in over 23 flights across multiple continents, spending countless hours lugging my belongings through cramped overhead bins, unpredictable baggage carousels, and narrow airplane aisles.
If anyone knows the difference between a mediocre bag and one that truly makes travel easier, it’s me.
And one brand that consistently stands out in my world of constant travel? Biaggi Luggage.
“Their pieces are super clever—no more wrestling with rigid, bulky suitcases that swallow up half your closet space when you’re not traveling.”
The following bags and packing cubes were the ones I grabbed the most across my 20+ flights in 2024. They’d make for a great gift for any family member or loved one, and Zipcubes are the ultimate stocking stuffer!
Runway Carry-On Suitcase + Zipcubes Bundle
Sale Price: $174.29 (62% Off)
This has been my go-to carry-on for domestic and international travel in 2024. Trust me when I say this suitcase has it all… It opens from the front rather than clamshell, which lets me fit more and takes up less space on the ground. The front flap also contains a padded pocket for laptops/tablets, so it’s easy to cruise through security at any airport.
Why I Love It: It keeps me organized and lets me pack a lot into a suitcase that boasts so many useful features. Did I tell you there’s a waterbottle pocket on the back? It expands if you need more space too.

Hangmates Hanging Toiletry Zipcube
Sale Price: $29.99 (50% Off)
Ever check into a hotel room that has a bathroom with no counter space?
As a girl who cares about her skincare routine, it was always a struggle if I couldn’t fit my products anywhere, so I’d rummage through a bag until I found this clever toiletry zipcube.
Why I Love It: Biaggi’s version conveniently hangs so you can save counter space while seeing all your beauty products and skincare in one place.
Even my husband raves about this one!
Sale Price: $49.99 (50% Off)
When packing for weekend trips that don’t need a suitcase, I rely on my Carry Cube Backpack. I’ve brought it camping, countless roadtrips, and for business day trips.
It’s not your regular student’s backpack, it’s the perfect backpack for someone packing clothes, shoes, and their laptop for a quick trip where everything has its place.
Why I Love It: The detachable packing cube on it is perfect for an extra pair of shoes when going on a weekend trip. In my case, hiking boots vs my regular sneakers or flip flops.

Zipsak Boost Max - I always fill it up with souvenirs and it never fails me!
Specifically for my international travels where I’m planning to shop a lot of souvenirs, I always bring my Zipsak Boost Max. This genius bag shrinks down and fits into any other suitcase so that I can pack it inside a checked bag on the way to my destination, and fill it up there to bring back expanded.
Why I Love It: It folds down when you’re done, so it’s not one of those enormous suitcases hogging up your closet space year-round.
My Recommendation? Start with the Runway Bundle for your carry-on and fall in love with the organization that Zipcubes bring. Consider adding the Zipsak Boost Max for checked luggage if you plan on traveling abroad next year.
Throw in the Carry Cube Backpack or Tote (or both!) as your personal item or for a quick weekend getaway if you frequently travel domestic.
“Take it from a gal who has practically lived in airports this year: Reliable, foldable, and well-designed luggage is worth its weight in gold.”
