Any frequent travelers out there? Got any gift ideas?
My mom and dad are frequent travelers. They have a lot of gear but I was trying to think of some other "must haves" for those who travel frequently. My mom asked for a new carry on so I figured I could make a little themed gift.

The carry on bag sounds like a nice idea. I love four wheel bags. You can also get a small bag that can be stowed under the seat.
Packing cubes.
A nice toiletry bag with compartments that you can easily separate things in.
Travel size toiletry containers.
USB chargers.
Adaptors if they go overseas.
I love to be organized when traveling so anything to organize the carry on is great.
Comfy cardigans for long flights.
Nice warm socks.
Passport covers?
Something to organize their tablets and phones.
Nice headphones.
Maps! Find out where they are going next and make a map package or buy a nice app or travel book.
I‘m not sure where they travel to, but in some locations you have to wash clothes by hand. A portable clothesline is great for this.
A framed map that they can check off all the places they have been to.

These are great ideas! I'm also adding an inflatable neck pillow, luggage tags, and one of those foot hammocks. It hangs off the tray table on the seat in front of you and you can rest your feet.

I love my portable luggage scale and my neck pillow and the packing cubes (especially the ones for shoes and toiletries).
If you are getting her a carry-on luggage, why don't you fill it with other items. It can even be like her favorite snacks to travel with or gum, gift card for coffee, magazines, eyeglass wipes if they have glasses, books or word puzzles if she likes to read or do those things on the plane, maybe she needs new headphones...
I would think of stuff like that in addition to purely travel themed.

If you're getting her a carry on, I would definitely fill it up with travel-sized containers of some of her favorite products or things like Tylenol, sunscreen, toothpaste, etc.
Also, electrical adapters/converters or a dual voltage straightener or hair dryer.
Maybe throw in a travel themed adult coloring book and pencils for those long flights, and a great travel book like 1,000 Places to See Before You Die

Phone charging power bank- possibly a short cable (5 inch) to go with it.
(Pay attention if it is a newer USB-C for compatibility with phone
