Best Black Friday Deals for Travelers of 2023

I think we all could use some shopping therapy after the chaos of Thanksgiving.

So why not spend some money investing in travel essentials that will make your next trip feel extra special?

I’m looking forward to treating myself to some new travel-inspired gifts this holiday season. 

Read on to find my list of the best Black Friday deals for travelers. 

Luggage

AMERICAN TOURISTER Disney Hardside Luggage with Spinner Wheels 2-Piece Set

This is one bag that’s easy to spot in the chaos of baggage claim.

Don’t worry if Disney isn’t your vibe, it also comes in an array of solid colors. 

It has a 10 year warranty and has multi-directional spinner wheels. 

Currently, this hardside luggage is on sale for 30% off on Amazon!

Samsonite Centric Hardside Expandable 2-Piece Set

This rose suitcase is a fun way to add a bit of color to your luggage collection. 

If you aren’t a fan of the soft pink shade, they also have black, grey, blue, and navy to choose from.

This sleek Samsonite luggage is currently 46% off on Amazon.

Away Luggage

Like most people on social media, I’ve been dreaming of investing in Away luggage for the last few years. 

The issue is that they rarely have any sales or deals because the brand is so popular. 

That’s why it was exciting to see that this week, they have a special sale where you can get up to $100 off when you purchase three pieces of luggage.

Use my referral link and get $20 off the purchase of your own bag (heads up—I’ll get a small referral credit if you make a purchase to further fund my Away bag addiction)!

Handmade Leather Travel Duffel Bag

If you need a new carry-on duffle, this is the one to go for. 

I really like that it’s handmade and leather, so it’ll stand up to all of the travel you’ll (hopefully) be doing this year.

If you want to score it at 20% off of on Amazon, move fast, I have a feeling this beauty will sell out.

Travel Backpacks

Kenneth Cole Reaction Backpack

This minimal and water resistant backpack is perfect for anyone on the go. 

It’s TSA checkpoint-friendly, and can easily fit a 16” laptop or tablet, making it a solid personal item for any frequent fliers. 

It’s now 20% off on Amazon, making it a bag I’ll be monitoring this week.

Travel Essentials

Samsung Galaxy Buds

I think most of us have an awful time keeping track of earbuds these days. 

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve almost been late for a flight because I’ve lost an earbud. 

Now I always have a spare pair ready to go.

These earbuds are an easy investment to make in a spare pair with 50% off on Amazon.

Bose QuietComfort 45 Bluetooth Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones

If headphones are more your speed, check out these noise-canceling Bose headphones, currently on-sale for 24% off on Amazon. 

Veken Packing Cubes

If you haven’t tried packing cubes, do yourself a favor and buy this set while it’s 32% off on Amazon. 

I promise you, using packing cubes will change your life and leave you more organized as you unpack. 

International Travel Adapter Universal Power Adapter

I would always forget to pack a converter or end up picking the wrong one when traveling internationally.

Now I’ve got an international power adapter like this one that works in over 150 countries. It lives in my luggage, and I never have to worry about if I’ve packed the right adapter.

If you don’t have a universal adapter, I highly suggest adding this one while it’s 20% off on Amazon. 

Airplane Foot Hammock

I’ll be the first to admit that this foot hammock looks crazy, but it really helps on long flights.

It attaches to the tray table and helps your legs stay elevated, which reduces swelling and soreness. 

With 15% off on Amazon, what’s not to love?

Express VPN 

Buying Express VPN is one of the best investments that I’ve made this year. 

With it, I’ve been able to cloak my location in order to keep up with all my favorite streaming shows. 

It also hides your IP address and keeps your data encrypted, making all your online activity private no matter where in the world you are. 

Express VPN is currently offering a Black Friday deal of three months free when you sign up for a 12-month membership. 

Travel Photography 

GoPro HERO10 Black

I’ve been wanting a GoPro for ages, and now that their latest model is 36% off on Amazon, it’s a simple decision.

The GoPro HERO10 Black has a front LCD and rear touch screens, can live stream, take video and photos, and all while self-stabilizing. 

Oh, and did I mention it’s also waterproof? Seriously, this camera does everything!

Rove R2-4K Dash Cam Built in WiFi GPS Car Dashboard Camera

If you’ve been dreaming of starting a travel YouTube channel, or even just shooting videos for social media to impress your family and friends, then check out the Rove R2-4K Dash Cam.

It’s currently 33% off on Amazon, so why not invest in everything you’ll need to shoot on the road videos like a pro? 

DJI Mavic Mini Drone FlyCam Quadcopter

Every photographer wants a drone in order to take epic aerial shots of the new places they’re exploring. 

This one can fly for up to 31 minutes, has a three-axis gimbal for a steady shot, and has obstacle sensing. 

Now that this one is 20% off on Amazon, I think this may be my big splurge of the week! 

HP Sprocket Portable Instant Photo Printer 

Instant photos are making a comeback this year, and thanks to this portable mini printer, you can turn your phone photos into printouts in no-time!

With 32% off on Amazon, you’ll save big on this cute little device. 

Fujifilm X-E3 Mirrorless Digital Camera and Lens Kit

This a camera that I have seen tons of YouTubers using to create content. 

In fact, it’s been on my wish list for a while now, after seeing some of my favorite content creators using it.

This week you’ll save 7% on Amazon purchasing this popular device that will make filming yourself a breeze.

The ZHIYUN Store

This Black Friday and Cyber Monday, head over to the ZHIYUN Store to get up to 50% off of devices. 

They’re a well-known company that produces two and three-axis gimbal selfie sticks, and gimbals for larger cameras.

I recently got their Smooth XS selfie stick and am already looking forward to expanding my collection to include a camera gimbal.

Unique Gifts For Travelers

Feelcare 10 Inch WiFi Digital Picture Frame

A digital picture frame is the perfect, thoughtful gift for any constant travelers. 

I always have mine with me to make wherever I’m staying feel more like home.

This digital picture frame with WiFi is an outstanding model to buy as a gift (or for yourself) and is 20% off on Amazon this week!

Kindle 

I’m one of those people that for years refused to invest in a Kindle because I love the feel (and smell) of an actual book.

This past year a very special someone gifted me a Kindle, and it was a total game-changer, especially for travel. 

Right now you can score one at a solid discount making it an easy decision gift for the avid reader on your shopping list.

Bose Bluetooth Speaker 

I always travel with a mini speaker. I love using it in my room and at the beach or pool.

This model from Bose is top of the line and currently 25% off on Amazon. 

XL Scratch Off Map 

I love using a scratch-off map to visualize all the places I’ve been to. 

Plus, it’s a great conversation starter when I have guests in my home.

This version even features the individual flags of each country.

I love giving other travel fanatics this fun map. Why not cross someone off your list with this gift while it’s 57% off on Amazon?
