The guide for anyone who wants to give long-lasting, upcycled one-of-a-kind pieces. This is where you'll find the right bags and accessories for friends, family, and design aficionados.
FOR TRAVEL LOVERS
No matter who you like exploring the world with: we've got the right gear for every kind of travel buddy.
TYPE 01: THE TRAVEL GUIDE
Scheduled to the minute and packed to the max: this organizing talent brings everything, thinks of everyone and is prepared for any situation. Except a real crisis.
For maximum peace of mind, we recommend:
- a roomy travel backpack that fits into any luggage rack
- a high-vis travel tag including a finder's reward card
- a practical hip bag for your passport, compass, yellow card and lift pass
- a spacious toiletry bag for every kind of travel pharmacy
- an almost indestructible keychain with carabiner
TYPE 02: THE HUMAN COMPASS
Terrible at judging distances and weather, but relentlessly optimistic. We all know the travel buddy who's absolutely sure—sometimes for hours—that the sight you're looking for is just around the next corner.
Pack light, last longer. We recommend:
- a compact crossbody bag with room for a street map
- a quick-access wallet for the bus ride back
- a one-of-a-kind keychain that's as light as it's eye-catching.
TYPE 03: THE WILDCARD
No plan, no luggage, no complaining: this spontaneous traveler is up for anything. Except, of course, planning ahead. Essentials? You can always pick them up somewhere along the way.
Our gift tip: an elegant one-of-a-kind card holder.
FOR THE ORGANIZED
They like things neat and tidy. Some need loads of inner pockets for that, others just a well-organized smartphone.
TYP 04: THE MATRYOSHKAS
The kings and queens of bag-in-bag-in-bag-in-bag are perfectly organized. There's a matching case, pouch, sleeve or hiding place for every single object.
We recommend:
- a practical, compact messenger bag with room for all the essentials
- pouches in all sizes so valuables, stationery, cosmetics, etc. are always right at hand.
- a perfectly organized wallet with an extra splash of color
TYPE 05: THE HANDS-FREE CREW
The main thing: wear it crossbody! The most important thing for these people: free hands and empty pockets. So everything gets slung over a shoulder, whether it’s the compact bag for hectic days, the bare essentials for long nights, or just the laundry-room key.
We recommend:
- a small crossbody bag with a secret compartment
- a wallet for everyday treasures and up to 23 cards – plus a strap!
- a crossbody smartphone case
- a classic keychain with a pop of color
TYPE 06: THE DIGITAL NATIVES
If all you ever need is an iPhone and two or three cards, you deserve a smart, modular setup. Our CIRC-CASE system offers everything digital nomads and people with a soft spot for clever accessories could wish for.
We recommend:
- our circular iPhone case made from old ski boots
- a card holder for carefree, cash-free days
- a neck strap so your hands really stay free
- everything combined as a compatible, all-around hassle-free system
FOR THE CHARACTERS
Some people spend half their lives on trains, at uni or in the office. Some like things simple and thought-through. And others have such exclusive taste that they're a real challenge to shop for. Is it difficult to give the people in your life stuff they'll love? Not with these tips.
TYPE 07: THE STRESSED-OUT ONES
For anyone whose second home is the train or bus and whose desk is their power spot, our gadgets for the constantly busy are a safe bet. Alternatively, we recommend a little digital detox.
Nice gifts for workaholics:
- the backpack that almost passes as a mobile open-plan office
- the matching truck tarp sleeve for their laptop
- the circular, customizable iPhone case
- an agenda––ideally with a protective cover too
- a good-looking keychain
TYPE 08: THE REFLECTIVE TYPES
Bright courier bags are too garish, classic FREITAG silhouettes a bit too classic? Surprise these people with our stripped-down, smartly designed Reflected Bags made from recycled PET fabric, finished with truck reflectors and an individual tarp pouch.
We recommend a reflective selection:
- an extra-roomy, volume-adjustable cargo backpack for heavy loads
- a toiletry bag that also shines as a bag-in-bag—ideally in the same tarp color
- a night-visible sling bag for those moments when you don’t need much but you do want to be seen
TYPE 09: THE HARD-TO-GIFT
You can never get it quite right with them. Still: with thousands of one-of-a-kind pieces, FREITAG is bound to have something even your pickiest favorite person will like.
Our recommendation: a FREITAG voucher. After all, you've done your best.
