Maybe before you buy anything, ask if its something they want or don't already have. For instance, I have nice eye masks (the kind where they bubble out above your eyes so they don't touch your eyes or eyelids are awesome), and love them, but it would be a waste to get another few as a gift. Same for noise cancelling headphones- I love mine, but getting another pair as a gift would be a waste.
I travel a lot, and ditto. I am very particular about what I bring with me, so much so that it's now a routine and I don't want a duplicate of my headphones or really of my 'gear'. I'm also not going to start using a passport holder for example. I don't care about luggage tags. So those gifts would be a waste. The suggestions from other PP's are great if someone is just starting to travel and they haven't figured out HOW they travel yet... pashmina vs light jacket, small pouches for stuff vs everything in a laptop sleeve. For someone who is already a frequent traveler, I'd find out what they use for toiletries and beauty routines at home and on the road, and give them mini travel-sized versions of them - kiehl's or sunday riley or etc.
