I think Road Warriors can be especially challenging to shop for because they&#8217;re not home frequently enough to enjoy things for the home\/kitchen, they eat out all the time so restaurant gift certificates may not appeal to them, they have very specific tastes when it comes to travel \u2013 so if you buy a travel related gift, you better know what they want!  If I get another neck pillow and eye mask I might scream!\n<\/p>\n<p>So what do you get that person who spends more nights in hotels and in the air than at home?\n<\/p>\n<p>Gift Certificates &#8211;\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Gift Certificates that can be redeemed online (while they&#8217;re traveling) are very appreciated.  I like iTunes gift cards myself since I download a lot of TV shows and movies while I&#8217;m overseas\n<\/li>\n<li>Generic Gift Certificates such as an Amex Gift Card or Visa Gift Card that can be used anywhere for anything.  It may seem impersonal, but for a Road Warrior it&#8217;s definitely something that will be used and appreciated.\n<\/li>\n<li>If the Road Warrior has a favorite hotel brand, look for a brand specific gift card. You know they&#8217;ll use it!  Hilton offers a card through Amex and Marriott offers their own gift card. Now, if only Starwood would bring back their gift cards!\n<\/li>\n<li>Housekeeping gift certificate. I would love to get a gift certificate for a house cleaning since that&#8217;s the last thing I want to do when I come home!  If you know the person has a regular housekeeper, contact them. If not, look for a service in the area.\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Accessories \u2013\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Travel accessories are nice gifts \u2013 if you know it&#8217;s something the person wants or needs.  Don&#8217;t get them a neck pillow because you think every traveler needs a neck pillow. They likely have 3 already!  Try to find unique travel accessories.\n<\/li>\n<li>Small photo books \u2013 I love having a small photo book with me that contains pictures of my family.  It&#8217;s easy to pack and provides a reminder of great memories when you&#8217;re on the road.\n<\/li>\n<li>iPad, iPhone, iPod accessories \u2013 if your road warrior is a techie you can always look for cool new accessories for their iWhatever!  Someone got me a cable that connects my iPad to the TV and I&#8217;ve recently found many more hotels providing TVs that will allow you to connect.  This way I don&#8217;t have to look at my small screen, I can project right onto the big screen TV!\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Are you a road warrior?  What would you like to get? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s time to start thinking about what to get for the Road Warrior in your life this holiday season.
