Those noise reducing ear buds are so perfect for me. I travel a lot, and I can't stand the low buzz that you can hear on a plane.
I need all of these in my life. A good pair of earbuds and something to distract yourself is key for travel.
These are all great gift ideas and you can't beat the prices!! I especially love the USB port! Who doesn't need one of those??
Great list. We can never have too many earbuds around here, lol, someone is always losing theirs.

I can't believe these gifts are under $5. Got a lot of friends who love to travel. Thanks for the suggestions.

I love these ideas, especially the Karma and other travel games. They are GREAT when you are traveling and don't want the kids on their electronic devices the entire time. I'm doing a stocking stuffer post soon and will be sure to link to this post so your ideas are included!
Can I buy like a dozen of those candy bars? Chocolate...sea salt... omg. I really want one right now, actually! But perfect for gifts, of course, too!
that is my favorite kind of chocolate! It'a so good. I wish there was noise canceling head phones that didn't go inside the ear!!
This is a great round up! I've been traveling lately and always forget to bring my own USB port
It's always nice to have ear buds that work well and are durable! I like the idea of chocolate too. YUM!

We travel so much! These would be fantastic for all of the road trips we take with a full vehicle. I'm digging the rotatable hub!
You can never had too many sets of earbuds, especially if you're taking mass transit.
I am big on traveling, and had no idea you could get headphones like that for only $5!

You did a great job with this under $5 gift guide you cant beat that. I adore the Chocolate xoxo brand I always buy these at my locals farmers market!
That four port hub is like a gift from the electronic gods. I can't believe how inexpensive it is, and will simplify so much! Buying it. For myself. And ten more, for all my favorite friends
I could have used that multi-USB port when we were on our Florida trip. I had so many plugs to keep track of, it would have been nice to have them all in one place.
These are all great gifts and they are under $5! I think most of my friends would love the Chocolove XOXOX Dark Chocolate With Amond & Sea Salt bar. I know I would.
I’m sure my friend would love all of these, They love travel and gifts.
