Let’s face it, teens can be hard to buy for, but we found some great travel holiday gifts that are sure to hit the mark. From noise-canceling earbuds to cozy slippers, from personalized luggage tags to daypacks, we have plenty to keep your teen traveler happy.

Personalized Swag

Shutterfly has plenty of gifts for travelers. Bringing cables and wires when you travel creates clutter (and are often left behind), so the Wireless Phone Charger solves the problem. Never lose a bag again with Travel Monogram Luggage Tag, which can be personalized with photos, designs and colors. To keep the travel memories alive after the trip, gift someone the Travel Memories Photo Book, which lets you customize everything from photos, to layouts to color and text designs. If you’re strapped for time, you can have the professionals create the book with the Shutterfly’s “Make my Book” Free 24-hour Designer Service. Another useful gift is the Personalized Tote which can be used for the beach, day trips and more. The inner zipper pouch is a nice touch for your phone and wallet.
