Versatile and stylish, CabinZero backpacks are ideal for daily commutes. Whether you're heading to school, a restaurant, any of our CabinZero Backpack makes carrying your essentials effortless. We recommend the 28L or 32L sizes for a neat and organised day.

For Beach Lovers

A water-resistant rucksack is an essential to any beach excursion. Think lazing under the palm-pronged white or having some splashing fun, all the while your belongings are safe and secure.

How To Choose The Best Christmas Travel Gift For Someone Who Likes Travel

Picking the best presents for the wanderlust in your life is just like anything else, you have to put your thoughts into it. Don’t just grab whatever that is on sale or cheap, think about how it can be of help to them on the road. A little effort can go a long way towards making their trip more comfortable and enjoyable.

Consider their travel style: Ponder upon the type of traveller they are. Are they a backpacker, a luxury traveller, or somewhere in between? A practical gift like a pack with RFID-pockets and lockable sliders can provide both convenience and security in their global adventures.

Know their styles: being chic is as important as being practical when it comes to Christmas travel gifts. From our extended range of colourways, you can find a CabinZero pack that will match everyone's style.  While black is a timeless classic, consider opting for something different like Smokey Violet or Deep Ocean for a change.

Gift cards or vouchers: If you're unsure of their specific preferences, these can be a great alternative. They allow them to choose items that suit their needs and style. Opt for a gift card with a substantial value and keep an eye out for sales and promotions to maximise its worth.

A heartfelt note: A handwritten note expressing your love and appreciation adds a personal touch to your gift. It's often the small gestures that resonate the most.

Can You Bring Christmas Gifts On A Plane

The answer is yes, but with a catch. If you're planning to fly with Christmas gifts, there are some important considerations to keep in mind:

Leave The Gift Wrapping Until You Reach Your Destination

The TSA and airport staff may need to unwrap any gifts for inspection. So, if you've spent hours meticulously wrapping each gift with care, be prepared for the possibility of an agent unravelling your hard work. Consider packing wrapping paper, tape, and bows separately. You can always wrap the gifts once you arrive.

Decide Between Carry-On Or Checked Bags

Given how checked bags are handled, it’s wise to keep precious and fragile gifts in your carry-on. Most airlines allow a personal item or carry-on, so you can use a travel backpack to bring your gifts home safe and sound. The best part? You can avoid any additional baggage fees!

Don't Forget About The Size And Weight Limit

Make sure to check the airline's guidelines to avoid any surprises at the airport. Some items, like musical instruments or sports equipment, may have specific rules or fees.

Typically, carry-on bags should not exceed dimensions of 22 inches x 14 inches x 9 inches, including handles and wheels. Checked bags’ total dimensions should not exceed  62 inches.

Be Mindful Of Prohibited Items

Knowing what items are prohibited in carry-on and checked baggage is key to ensuring your gifts make it to your destination safely and without hassle.

Carry-on: don’t pack prohibited items, such as liquids, gels, or aerosols exceeding 3.4 ounces. Sharp objects such as knives is also a no-go.

Checked bags: don’t pack flammable materials, ammunition, or fireworks. Check the TSA’s comprehensive list of what can and cannot be carried on board here.

Check destination country, airport, and airline-specific rules for additional restrictions.

Consider Shipping Your Gifts Ahead Of Time

If you have a lot of gifts to bring or if you are worried about them getting damaged in transit, why not let the carriers or sellers do the hard work? 

Be Prepared For The Unexpected

Use bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or other protective materials to prevent your gifts from being jostled around in your luggage. Keep gift receipts with you in case TSA officers need to inspect them. If your items are inspected or confiscated, remember to stay calm and cooperative.

Everyone is stressed during the busy holiday season, and a little smile and cooperation is sometimes just what you need to brighten everyone's day.
