Is your partner always on the road? Or do they get struck by the wanderlust bug? The capsule travel containers from Cadence are the perfect customizable gift. These magnetic, leak-proof little hexagons come with label tiles that can be personalized—choose from a list of icons or standard labels for common items (vitamins, conditioner, jewelry) or write your own for the ultimate in customization.

The fine jewelry brand is a TGT favorite for its ethical and conscious practices, so you can feel confident this shiny gift is also sustainable. Check out our complete Mejuri review here.
