The holiday season is right around the corner. Save stress and time and check out a few must-have items for the active travelers on your gift list.

For on-the-go travelers, one way to stay hydrated and healthy is with the Hydrate Spark water bottle. A few unique features of the Hydrate Spark include a flashing light reminding users when it’s time to drink; a sensor inside the bottle recording how much you drink and syncs to the hydration app available on iOS and Android. The Spark allows users to easily sync water intake with fitness trackers, so based on your level of activity, you always know how much water you should be drinking. Bottles begin at $49.95, and come in a variety of colors.

Find travel-related gear from hats, shirts and backpacks from Serengetee. Started by co-ed friends in a travel abroad program, founders Jeff and Ryan began purchasing fabric along their travels all over the world to be turned into mainstream products and accessories for other avid travelers. The idea grew into Serengetee, a fashion site dedicated to U.S.-made products derived from international materials. Each piece represents another part of the world and each sale donates 10 percent of proceeds back to projects and causes in need around the world.
