12 best gifts for digital nomads

Presents for globe-trotting online workers

Remote work has exploded over the last few years, but for digital nomads, it’s nothing new. For years, some digital nomads have enjoyed working from hostels, Airbnbs and beachside hammocks, while others travel the globe for other reasons. Remote workers have long taken advantage of flexible arrangements to travel, and more companies plan to offer remote work options for their employees. Ultimately, it seems like the trend of online work is here to stay.

It can be hard to pick a present for a digital nomad. Most need to travel light and can only fit so many possessions into a backpack or suitcase, but there are plenty of products that will help them enjoy their days on the road even more. Here are some suggested gifts for the digital nomads in your life.
