Hot travel gifts for the vacationer in your life: Top picks ahead of Christmas

The right gift could help make the next adventure easier, more comfortable, more fun — or all of those.

'QUIET TRAVEL' IS HAVING A MOMENT; HERE ARE TOP US SPOTS WHERE YOU CAN EMBRACE THE TREND

Below, see some picks — from stylish luggage to carry-ons, cozy slippers and more — organized in a few key categories. 

A small, well-packed bag is the sign of a seasoned traveler. A sturdy, hard-shell suitcase with spinner wheels makes life easier on the go — and an expandable carry-on that slips over the handle of it is a must.

This Samsonite expandable luggage comes with a 10-year limited warranty and has locks "to deter theft, ensuring that only you or a TSA agent have easy access to your belongings when traveling," according to the Amazon listing.

Making everything fit in a small suitcase can be a challenge, but packing cubes are the way to go for compression of favorite items.
