Finding the perfect gifts for your family and friends can be a challenge. To offer a unique perspective on our gear, and give you the holiday inspiration you may be looking for, we turned the spotlight on some of our team members to see what products they’ve been rocking and why we think they’ll make great presents for your loved ones.

Noah’s love for ChargeKey goes way back. In fact, it was heavily inspired by one of the very first products Noah developed with Nomad. 

After meeting co-founder Brian in Santa Barbara in 2012, Noah brought his dream of effortless portable charging to life with ChargeCard. ChargeKey, developed almost 10 years later, takes ChargeCard to the next level with its ultra-compact design and scratch-resistant cable tips. It fits seamlessly on even the most chaotic keychain, making it the ultimate charging solution for the modern nomad and the perfect stocking stuffer for your loved ones.

Augie’s worked remotely for Nomad for almost five years now. He’s bopped around California, from Santa Barbara to Mendocino, before finally settling down in Mammoth, where he volunteers as a ski instructor. We asked him what Nomad gear he uses to charge his iPhone 13 and he said Base Station Hub Edition in Walnut.

Base Station Hub Edition charges up to 4 devices simultaneously, 2 on its wireless charging pad and 2 more from its rear USB-A and USB-C ports. Plus, the wood gives the charger a sophisticated look, making it a great gift for the friend in your life who appreciates the finer things.

Sean spends his weekends rock climbing in the Santa Barbara backcountry. When it comes to picking out a band for his Series 6 Apple Watch, he turns to Sport Band time and time again. This durable band seamlessly complements his active lifestyle, providing the reliability he needs for Mondays at the office and Saturdays in the mountains. 

Sport Band is made of soft yet durable FKM rubber, making it an ideal Apple Watch accessory for outdoor activities. The band features interior ventilation channels to maximize breathability and its pin-and-tuck closing mechanism is reliable even with drops and drags across rugged rock faces. Plus, after particularly sweaty hikes, Sean appreciates being able to give the band a good scrub with a sponge and gentle cleaner. 

Sean’s rocking a 45mm/49mm Lunar Gray Sport Band but most colorways are available for the smaller 40mm/41mm watches. Shop the entire collection here.

If you know KP, you know she’s always listening to music. She jumps between genres but she’s been in a punk rock phase for the past few weeks and it's looking like she's not coming out anytime soon. After exchanging our Spotifys, I asked her what her favorite Nomad accessory for her AirPods Pro is. She took a few minutes to think on it, but ultimately said Modern Leather Case for AirPods Pro.

KP’s been using her Modern Leather Case for almost a year now and she loves the way it’s developed a rich patina totally unique to her. Plus, she loves that she can throw her AirPods in her backpack without worrying about scratching them. 

KP has the Rustic Brown Modern Leather Case but there’s a colorway for everyone. Shop them all here.

Lianna is based in Santa Barbara but spends the holidays with her family in Sacramento. We asked her what her favorite new Nomad product is and she said she couldn’t do the long drive home without her Charge Mount. 

The mount snaps easily into her car’s vents and holds her iPhone upright so she can view Apple Maps and FaceTime her mom with traffic updates. Lianna loves that she can effortlessly adjust her iPhone with the mount’s smooth attachment joint and she appreciates that it keeps her iPhone juiced up even when all her apps are up and running. 

Have a buddy that commutes home like Lianna? Charge Mount may be the perfect present for them (and will totally win “most useful gift of the season”).
