Finding the perfect Christmas gifts for the women in your life? Instead of the usual candles or generic gift sets, why not give the women in your life a gift that sparks adventure and makes everyday life easier? Maybe it's something she'll use this Christmas holiday getaways.

Below we’ve rounded up Christmas gift ideas for women centred on travel and practicality, from chic backpacks to clever accessories.

These picks are not only great Christmas gifts for women in 2025, but they’re also packed with sentimentality and purpose. Whether you’re hunting for the best Christmas gifts for women who love to travel or brainstorming good gifts for women at Christmas who seem to have it all, this guide has you covered.

Christmas Gifts For the Mum on the Go

When it comes to gifts for women at Christmas who are busy mums, think practical, durable, and thoughtful. Moms are always juggling a million things, so a gift that makes her day-to-day or family travels easier will be truly appreciated. Here are some good Christmas gifts for women who are mums:

Classic Backpack

The Classic Backpack is a beloved, zero-hassle travel bag that’s lightweight yet spacious. It’s great for a mum’s everyday use, from carrying diapers and snacks to packing for a weekend away. And it fits as carry-on luggage no problem. These features make it one of the great gifts for women this Christmas who need practicality with a touch of style.

Bonus: CabinZero bags come in tons of colours, so you can pick her favourite (even “Sage Forest” or fun prints) to match her personality.

Hands-Free Hip Bag

Moms know the value of hands-free anything. A CabinZero Hip Bag (bum bag/fanny pack) is a fantastic little helper for errand runs or park days. She can keep keys, phone, and wallet secure around her waist while chasing the kiddos or pushing a stroller.

The best part is that hip packs are one-size-fits-all and unisex, so it’s an easy gift to give. A chic bum bag in her favourite colour strikes that balance between nice Christmas gifts for women and super functional gear she’ll use every day.

Best Christmas Gifts For the Mum-to-Be

Shopping for Christmas gifts for pregnant women is all about empathy and comfort. An expecting mom is preparing for a whole new adventure. The best gifts acknowledge this exciting (and tiring) time and help her feel ready and even a little pampered. Here are a few ideas:

A Roomy, Comfortable Classic Plus Backpack

Instead of a traditional baby hospital bag, why not give her a CabinZero backpack that she can use now and after the baby arrives? The Classic Plus Backpack in the 42L size is spacious enough to double as a maternity hospital go-bag or an overnight bag for those last pre-baby weekend getaways.

Its padded back and straps are actually a blessing during pregnancy. Carrying it is comfy and won’t strain her back too much. Plus, after the baby is born, she’ll have a high-quality travel backpack for family trips (it’s perfect as carry-on, saving hassle at airports).

The Classic Plus has that helpful trolley sleeve on the back, so she can slide it over a suitcase handle. Think about when she’s pushing a stroller and managing luggage, this little feature will feel heaven-sent.

Tech Pouch For Everyday Essentials

As her bump grows, bending and digging through a big handbag gets tough. A lightweight Tech Pouch that clips around her shoulder can hold her phone, prenatal vitamins, and snacks, keeping them within easy reach.

It can be an organiser for all her small items (use it as a mommy survival kit pouch). This little 2.5L pouch isn’t just for tech; it has elastic loops and pockets that could secure things like lip balm, tissues, earbuds, and chargers in one place. These are cool gifts for women at Christmas who appreciate order amidst the baby prep frenzy.

Gift Card

And if you really can’t decide, a CabinZero Gift Card with a sweet message is a lovely gesture. CabinZero gift cards are delivered instantly via email with zero extra fees, so she can pick out something perfect when she’s ready, be it a diaper-friendly backpack or just a treat for herself.

Best Christmas Gifts For Your Female Friends

Your girlfriends, work wives, ride-or-die BFFs, they all deserve something awesome this Christmas. When considering Christmas gifts for women friends, think about shared experiences and their personal style. The goal is a gift that’s fun and shows you totally “get” her. Here are some ideas for your gal pals:

Stylish Laptop Backpack in Fun Colours

Is your best friend always down for a weekend road trip or a last-minute city break? Gift her a CabinZero Classic Tech Backpack in a colour that matches her vibe. Maybe she’ll love the Zen Garden or Absolute Black for everyday use, or perhaps the quirky Orange Chill or a. Every time she packs it for an adventure (maybe one you two take together), she’ll think of you.

It’s a good choice if she’s more of a digital nomad type or takes her laptop everywhere. The classic Tech is basically the Classic’s smarter sibling: same size, but adds a padded laptop compartment and a water bottle pocket. Talk about a great Christmas gift for women who are your partners-in-crime.

Crossbody or Sling Bags for the Trendy Friend

If your friend is more into fashion and convenience than big backpacks, check out CabinZero’s crossbody offerings. The CabinZero Sacoche is a slim cross-body bag that’s surprisingly roomy and super chic.

Originally a Japanese travel favourite, it’s got pockets and even anti-theft zippers, making it ideal for concerts, festivals, or shopping in busy markets. This shoulder bag is lightweight and keeps her hands free for dancing, snapping photos, or hugging you when she unwraps your gift. These are cool gifts for women this Christmas because they blend trendiness with utility.

A comfortable travel T-shirt

CabinZero’s Ultralight Travel T-shirt is a perfect example of a Christmas gift for your female friend. Made from a premium Tencel™ Lyocell and Merino Wool blend, it keeps her cool on long train rides and warm in chilly cafés.

The fabric is cool and quick-drying, yet also temperature-regulating and odour-resistant thanks to the Merino content. It also wicks away moisture and never feels scratchy.

The odour resistance means she can wear it for long travel days or repeat usage on a multi-day trip without worry.

Pair a neutral tone with travel pants, or dress up a brighter tee with a scarf – it’s as versatile as any basic T-shirt, but with far superior comfort for long journeys. Gifting clothing can be tricky, but with this tee you have some leeway. The natural stretch and drape of the fabric mean it adapts well to different body shapes, and the quality materials make it feel as good as it looks. 

Unique Christmas Gifts For the Woman Who Loves to Travel

If you’re searching for women’s gift ideas for Christmas that will delight a traveller, look no further than travel gear that combines style with serious functionality. 

CabinZero ADV/ADV Pro

A reliable backpack is arguably the ultimate travel Christmas gift. If she’s the type to go off the beaten path or loves camping and hiking, consider the ADV or ADV Pro series. The name stands for Adventure, and these packs are loaded with features for the outdoors: internal frames, stowaway straps, hip belts for support, and multiple compartments for organisation.

They’re built tough and comfortable, so she can scramble up a volcano or backpacking a Southeast Asian country with equal ease. The ADV line is basically the most feature-packed of CabinZero’s range, designed for the serious traveller. That’s why they are a unique Christmas gift for women planning gap years or multi-country treks.

Dry Bags

For a woman who’s always chasing her next adrenaline rush or beach getaway, a CabinZero Dry Bag is an unusual but awesome Christmas gift idea.

These award-winning sacks keep her belongings completely dry in the wildest weather. She doesn’t have to worry about phone, camera, and clothes during that kayaking trip or when caught in a tropical downpour. The Adventure Dry bags even feature a removable zip pouch with an RFID-blocking pocket for safekeeping valuables, plus lightweight air-mesh straps so it can be worn as a backpack.

Packing Cubes

Another travel must-have (yes, bringing them up again). If she doesn’t have these yet, they will revolutionise how she packs. You could get the Ultralight Packing Cubes set for a backpacker counting every ounce, or the Lux Packing Cubes for a touch of luxury (they even come with a tracking tag in case luggage gets lost).

These cubes turn packing and unpacking into a quick, orderly task. For that, they are a nice Christmas gift for women who value efficiency on the road. It’ll bring a smile to her face when she uses them for the first time.

Travel Bundles

Can’t pick just one item? CabinZero has curated gift sets for women travellers that bundle the best gear into ready-to-gift packages. These bundles are essentially gift boxes for women at Christmas who travel, and they often come with a sweet discount to boot.

For example, the Budget Airlines Bundle pairs a compact under-seat backpack (perfect for those strict budget airline rules) with packing cubes. It’s designed to save her money and stress by eliminating checked bag fees. Truly a gift that pays for itself!

Then there’s the Weekend Away Bundle, which might include a mid-sized 30L backpack, a set of packing cubes, a TSA travel lock, and even a bum bag for day use. It’s everything she’d need for short trips in one bag. 

Finally, for the ultimate globe-trotter, the Round-The-World Bundle is the jackpot. It comes with a max-capacity carry-on (around 40-45L, basically as big as you can go without checking in) plus extra gear for long-term travel.

Christmas Gift Ideas For Older Women

Finding Christmas gifts for older women, such as your grandma, mother-in-law, or that mentor who’s like a second mom, is an opportunity to give something meaningful, not just another knick-knack. Many older women love to travel in their retirement or simply value practical accessories for their daily routines. Here are some great gifts for older women this Christmas:

A Mini Backpack

For daily errands, short outings, or use as a personal item on flights, the 12L Classic Flight backpack is a perfect pick. It weighs very little yet still offers useful features like a hidden RFID-blocking pocket to protect her wallet and passport from digital theft.

The size is just right for essentials. She can fit a water bottle, a light jacket, snacks, and her tablet, for example. In fact, the Classic Flight is designed to fit under an aeroplane seat as her second carry-on, so an older traveller can keep important items within reach during a flight (and avoid hoisting a bag overhead altogether).

And like all CabinZero gear, it has a water-resistant exterior and comes with the brand’s lifetime warranty, reflecting its durable quality. This little backpack comes in a range of colours from Original Grey to a cheery Orange Chill. You might choose a high-visibility colour to make it easy for her to spot, or a classic neutral to match any outfit.

A chic Sidekick Crossbody Bag

Designed to be sleek and lightweight (about 180g empty), the Sidekick can be worn comfortably over the shoulder or across the body, and its strap is soft and fully adjustable for the perfect length.

Despite its petite size, it’s impressively organised: a large main compartment holds a wallet, phone, glasses, and a few extras, whilst additional pockets on the front and back keep small items sorted. Importantly, this bag has an RFID-blocking pocket built in, shielding her credit cards and ID from electronic theft attempts.

Another security bonus is the integrated “tracing tag” (CabinZero’s Okoban system), which can help locate the bag if it ever gets lost. Style-wise, this bag strikes a nice balance: it’s sporty enough for travel days and walks, but chic enough for a lunch out. It comes in a range of colours: from classic Absolute Black and Original Grey to softer tones like Aruba Blue.
