26 Gift Ideas for Tech-Savvy Travel Agents (+1 Bonus Gift for Ultimate Workflow)

Travel agents are some of the hardest-working people on the planet — and ironically, they’re also the hardest to shop for.

They already own the packing cubes.

They already have six water bottles.

They’ve already been gifted every variation of a world-map tote bag.

And, probably lots of mugs, too.

So here’s a curated list of gifts that are actually useful, genuinely delightful, and deeply appreciated by people who spend their days navigating suppliers, itineraries, client demands, and last-minute “is it too late to book for Christmas?” requests.

The Ultimate Gift Guide for Travel Agents

Not sure what to get for the travel agent you know and love? Here are some quick, last-minute gift ideas to put a smile on their face and make their day-to-day a bit easier. But, if you want to give them the ultimate gift, you'll have to scroll to the bottom.

For now, you can try and snag some of these.

Tech Gifts

1. A portable wi-fi hotspot

For travel agents, internet isn’t a luxury — it’s the job. And yet, hotel Wi-Fi is often… aspirational at best. A portable hotspot gives agents their own secure, reliable connection anywhere: in airports, taxis, cruise terminals, remote hotels, or cafés with spotty service.

It lets them send quotes, update bookings, check supplier portals, run video calls, or rescue a client mid-travel meltdown without relying on someone else’s network. Compact, rechargeable, and easy to set up, it’s one of those gifts that quietly becomes indispensable.

Price: Starting at $89.99

2. Loop earplugs

Travel agents work everywhere — planes, trains, hotel lobbies, coworking spaces, and the corner of a loud café when a client suddenly wants to review a 12-day Italy itinerary. Loop earplugs help them tune out the chaos without blocking everything. They reduce noise, not awareness, so agents can stay focused, take calls, or draft proposals in peace. A tiny gift that dramatically improves concentration on the go.

Price: $27.95

3. Bluetooth tracker (like Tile by Life360 Mate)

Agents are always carrying something important: luggage, backpacks, laptop bags, sample gear, or that magical “documents folder” they swear never to lose. These (much more affordable) trackers add a layer of security — and sanity. Perfect for travel days, trade shows, or FAM trips where things get tossed around. A small gift that prevents big headaches.

Price: $14.99

4. Bluetooth label maker

Organization is an agent’s superpower, and a Bluetooth label maker takes it to the next level. They can instantly tag client folders, charger cables, sample packets, tour documents, mailers, or FAM-trip gear. It syncs to their phone for quick printing and makes their workspace (and bags) look satisfyingly put together.

Price: $16.20

5. A ring light for laptop

Clear, flattering light can turn a simple client video call into a professional consultation. A ring light helps agents look polished for supplier calls, webinars, sales pitches, and content creation. It’s compact, portable, and surprisingly powerful — ideal for agents working from multiple locations.

Price: $14.90

6. High-quality blue-light glasses

Long days comparing quotes, managing bookings, and scrolling supplier extranets can fry anyone’s eyes. Stylish blue-light glasses = fewer headaches, better focus, and a cute accessory.

Price: +/- $15.00

7. Airplane paperclips

Okay...even though a tech-savvy travel agent would ideally have less of a need for paper-clips than travel agent using legacy systems, these creative paper clips are perfect. For travel pros that are organizing contracts, travel insurance forms, and vendor documents for clients who still prefer paper over electronic, these will certainly get noticed. Just don't use them for your own printed out spreadsheets, please.

Price: $9.99

8. A smart notebook (like a Rocketbook)

Travel agents write constantly: notes from supplier calls, itinerary ideas, client preferences, packing lists, content ideas. A Rocketbook digitizes everything instantly. They write normally, scan with their phone, and the notes sync to email, Drive, or their CRM. It’s eco-friendly, organized, and oddly fun to use.

Price: Starting at $26

9. Mini travel projector

For agents who host small client nights, destination presentations, or group planning sessions, a mini projector is clutch. It lets them showcase itineraries, destination photos, videos, and slides on any wall. Tiny, portable, and far more impressive than flipping through PDFs on a laptop.

Price: $99.99 (But, there are cheaper ones!)

10. A magnetic, levatating desk globe

A statement piece for Zoom calls, client consultations, or simply daydreaming between itineraries. This high-tech globe reminds agents why they do what they do, while being able to quickly spot that destination on the map.

Price: $30.00

11. A car mount + charging set

For agents who drive to client meetings or local sales calls, a sturdy car mount is essential. Combined with a fast charger, it becomes a mobile command center. They can navigate, take hands-free calls, and keep everything powered while on the move.

Price: $19.99

12. A portable laptop stand

Working from a hotel desk, an airport lounge, or a client’s dining table isn’t always ergonomic. A portable laptop stand creates a comfortable setup anywhere, preventing back and neck strain during long booking sessions.

Price: Starting at $22

13. An external webcam cover

A small but thoughtful gift. Agents take tons of calls from home offices, hotels, and shared spaces. A simple and small webcam cover slide prevents accidental appearances and gives peace of mind — especially when using multiple devices.

Price: $5.59

14. A portable/foldable LED lamp

Agents often work early mornings or late nights in hotel rooms or shared spaces with questionable lighting. A portable LED lamp gives them a bright, adjustable workspace anywhere — without disturbing sleeping partners or kids.

Price: $31.99

15. A portable sanitizing wand

Travel agents set up shop in many places: airport desks, plane trays, hotel tables, coworking spaces. A portable sanitizing wand makes quick sanitizing effortless and travel-friendly. Lightweight, practical, and perfect for constant travelers.

Price: $24.28

16. A digital luggage scale

For agents who travel frequently, pack samples, or demonstrate packing tips — a digital luggage scale removes the guesswork. It’s also a lifesaver when rushing to check luggage on FAM trips or long-haul flights.

Price: Starting at $7

17. A portable second monitor

Life-changing. With a portable second monitor, agents can easily compare itineraries side-by-side, build proposals without endless tab-switching, and keep email open while quoting.It boosts productivity instantly — and they will tell everyone about it.

Price: $50-$100+

18. Touch-Screen Gloves

Whether they’re texting clients from a cold airport curb, pulling up an itinerary outside a hotel, or checking supplier availability while waiting for an Uber, travel agents never really stop working. even in winter.

These touchscreen gloves let them tap, scroll, and type without freezing their fingers off. Warm, practical, and surprisingly stylish, they’re the perfect stocking stuffer for the agent who’s always connected, always coordinating, and always one message away from saving a trip.

Price: $5.00+

19. Electronics organizer pouch

Every travel agent has a drawer of chaos — tangled cords, rogue SD cards, adapters from trips long past, and the one cable no one recognizes but everyone is afraid to throw away. This pouch is the solution: compact, waterproof, and designed for agents who hop between home office, airport lounges, and client meetings.

Price: $9.99

Subscription Gifts

20. A ChatGPT subscription

AI is no longer a novelty, but a daily workflow tool for modern travel agents. A ChatGPT Plus subscription helps them draft client proposals faster, rewrite itineraries cleanly, generate social posts, summarize supplier PDFs, and answer complex travel questions without digging through dozens of tabs.

It’s like giving them a digital assistant that works 24/7, needs zero training, and instantly saves them hours each week. A practical gift that pays for itself almost immediately.

Price: $20/month for the Plus

21. An accounting software subscription

Travel agents juggle bookings, commissions, deposits, refunds, supplier payments, and year-end reporting — often across multiple platforms. An accounting software subscription (like QuickBooks, FreshBooks, or Wave’s paid features) turns that chaos into something clean, automated, and actually manageable.

It helps them track commissions, categorize expenses, invoice clients professionally, and stay tax-ready without spreadsheets or panic. It’s the kind of gift that saves hours, reduces stress, and pays for itself long before peak season hits.

Price: Get 30% off site-wide

23. A password manager subscription

Travel agents juggle more logins than almost any profession — supplier portals, airlines, GDS systems, CRMs, booking platforms, insurance sites, and agency tools. A password manager keeps everything secure and auto-fills instantly. It’s the gift of fewer resets and far less frustration.

Price: Save up to 50% at LastPass

24. A travel industry community membership

While travel agents may be focused on staying ahead of their competitors, there's a lot of value in being part of a community of other travel agents and tour operators who may be experiencing similar ebbs and flows. Many of these communities are free or have free aspects, but in order to get the full perks — like coaching calls, access to resources, etc. — you may need to pay up. But, what you get is so worth it!

25. A travel industry digital subscription

Tech-savvy travel agents are the ones that stay up-to-date on the latest industry news. The problem is, access to some of the most detailed reports out there aren't for free. Gifting something .like a Skift subscription could help travel agents stay ahead of the research curve.

Price: If you're a member of their mailing list, you can get 30% off on various plans

26. A Canva Pro subscription

Travel agents create a ton of visual content — itineraries, social posts, flyers, client packets, and polished trip summaries. Canva Pro gives them pro templates, brand kits, premium fonts, background removers, and a huge asset library, making everything look clean, consistent, and professional without hiring a designer.

Or, if you want to go bigger, you could gift them access to a platform with a white-label setup, so their entire booking experience is branded automatically. More on that, later!

Price: (+/-) $12/month for the Pro version (and, they are having a 50% off sale)

27. Searchable, bookable supply

Sure, the gadgets are fun. The gloves are warm. The notebooks are useful.

But if you ask travel agents what they really want? Most will say the same thing:

“I just want to find good supply without digging through a million places.”

Because at the end of the day, the hardest part of an agent’s job isn’t the client calls, the research, or even the quoting.

It’s the fragmentation.

• The outdated PDFs.

• The hidden rate sheets.

• The supplier portals with missing availability.

• The endless back-and-forth to confirm something simple.

• The feeling of “Why is this so hard?” when a client wants a trip that should be straightforward.

  
  

So while all the other gifts on this list are lovely (and genuinely helpful!), the one thing that would make the biggest difference in their day-to-day is simple:

One place to quickly search, compare, and book multi-day tours, with confidence.

Imagine if agents could:

• Stop guessing what’s available.

• Stop chasing suppliers for pricing.

• Stop copy-pasting itineraries from scattered sources.

• Stop managing five tabs just to answer a basic question.

• And instead, actually sell — without the friction.

  
  

That’s the kind of gift that doesn’t just make their day easier. It changes how they work.

A Real Example: Incredible Journeys x Tour Amigo

When we partnered with Incredible Journeys, the goal wasn’t to “add technology.”It was to reduce the noise.

Their agents needed:

• clearer access to multi-day supply,

• more consistency in content and pricing,

• fewer manual steps,

• and a way to serve customers quickly without all the digging.

  
  

So we built a white-label solution that pulled everything together in one place — searchable, organized, and actually usable.

The result wasn’t “more tech.”

It was more clarity.More efficiency.More time for agents to focus on clients rather than logistics.

And that’s really the takeaway:when supply becomes easier to find, everything becomes easier — quoting, selling, upselling, servicing, and even building trust with customers.

This Holiday Season: Give Them Something That Makes Their Work Lighter

Travel agents don’t need more clutter for their office.

What they want is simplicity, accuracy, and a cleaner way to access the trips their clients are actually asking for.

If there’s one thing that truly supports a travel agent’s work, it’s a system — any system — that reduces the manual searching and brings supply into one cohesive view.

Tour Amigo just happens to be one option that does this well, but the core message is universal:

The best gift you can give a travel agent isn’t a thing. It’s making their job easier.
