Christmas is just a few days away. Whether you're looking for last-minute wishlist additions for yourself or shopping for a traveler, Amazon is offering deals on many travel products — with many prices still matching Black Friday deals!

My wife and I have been digital nomads for more than eight years. Over that time, we've gotten very picky about what travel items and supplies we haul around the world. Here are 10 of our favorite travel items that are on sale now on Amazon.

Luggage Trackers

Luggage trackers have become a nearly essential travel tool — even if you are Team Carry-on. And I learned just how critical these can be when I accidentally left my passport wallet on a flight to Madrid back in 2023. Thankfully, I had a Tile Slim tracker tucked in the passport wallet, enabling me to track its progress until I was reunited with it.

Whether you're tracking your bags or just your car keys, now is a great time to buy trackers. A four-pack of Tile trackers is currently discounted to $52.99. Buy here.

Use an iPhone instead? Apple AirTags are going to be the way to go. You can pick up one AirTag for just $24 (buy here), or stock up with four AirTags for just $64.98 (buy here):

Bose QuietComfort Noise-Cancelling Headphones

Planes can be loud. Whether you want to drown out the noise or want better sound quality when watching a TV show or movie, noise-canceling headphones can be clutch for travel. Although they aren't the smallest item to pack, I carry my Bose QuietComfort 45 noise-canceling headphones with me around the world.

Amazon has dropped the price on a similar set of Bose headphones as much as 43% to as low as $199. Check your options and buy it here.

BESTEK Travel Power Converter Box

Nowadays, most electronics don't require power conversion. However, not all hotels have ample power outlets. That's why we carry a BESTEK universal travel converter with us for our travels — both domestically and abroad. This small box converts one two-prong power outlet into three three-prong U.S. outlets plus four USB-A outlets. For any electronics that can't handle different voltages, it converts the power to the 110 volts we use in the U.S.

This converter box is currently discounted by 15% to $32.99. Buy it here.

Anker Power Bank

Whether you're hoping to work on the road or just keep your cell phone charged, having access to power is essential. That's why we carry power banks in our carry-on bags to ensure our phones and laptops always have power — even on long-haul Turkish Airlines flights without power outlets.

The 25,000 mAh fast-charging 165W Anker power bank I use is currently on sale for just $87.99 — that's 35% off the standard price. Buy it here.

Compression Socks

Blood clots are a hazard of long-haul travel. And, unfortunately, I know personally just how much they suck to deal with, especially overseas. That's why Katie and I make sure to wear compression socks whenever we fly for more than a couple of hours. These lightweight knee-high socks leave our legs ready for exploring a new city on arrival, rather than swollen and achy.

I've mostly been wearing Dr. Motion compression socks, but they're not currently on sale. However, you can save up to 44% on a three-pack of similar socks. After the discount, a three-pack of socks costs just $14.99 — or just $5 a pair. Buy it here.

Osprey Farpoint Travel Backpack

Since going nomadic in June 2017, my wife and I have hauled our clothing, gear, and supplies around more than 75 countries in Osprey Farpoint backpacks.

When we've periodically used rolling suitcases — such as when I had surgery on my back — we learned just how much we prefer having a travel backpack to a rolling suitcase. Not only does a travel backpack free up a hand, but you also don't have to worry about rolling your suitcase across cobblestone, brick, or muddy ground.

Three versions of Osprey Farpoint backpacks are on sale now:

Fitbit Activity Tracker

From sleep tracking and step counting to silent alarms and, yes, even telling time, Katie and I rely on our Fitbit activity trackers throughout our travels. We currently have older Versa models that are no longer for sale. But, several Fitbit activity trackers are on sale. Make sure to compare the features to see which version makes the most sense for you:

Ski Bib

Ski season is just kicking off in the Northern Hemisphere. Whether you plan to hit the slopes in the Rockies or in Japan (a personal favorite), you'll save a load of money by getting your gear from Amazon rather than at the slopes.

For the past couple of seasons, I've use the Arctix Men's Essential Insulated Bib Overalls — ordered from Amazon to a locker in Colorado. This exact set of ski overalls is on sale for 47% off. Buy here:

Nuun Hydration Tabs

Travel can be exhausting. Buying water or sports drinks can be expensive — particularly in touristy destinations. Depending on where you're visiting, tap water taste can vary from delicious to hard to swallow. That's why we pack several canisters of Nuun electrolyte tablets. We can pop one of these tablets in our water bottle, fill it up, and have a nice-tasting and reinvigorating drink in about a minute.

You can currently snag a four-pack of 10 tablets for $17.49 — 42% off the typical Amazon price. Or see all of the discounted Nuun options here.

Melatonin Tabs

One of the clutch supplies we carry with us on every trip is melatonin. This sleep support supplement helps us doze off when we need help adjusting to a new time zone — or when a busy day of work still has us buzzing late at night. Just be careful if you haven't taken melatonin before. I recommend getting the 3 mg tablets and starting with one. If you don't find that effective, you can always double it.

You currently can pick up a whopping 240 quick-dissolving melatonin tablets for just $7.74 — which is 29% off the standard price. Buy it here.
