USB Battery Packs
Pilots carry a lot of electronics. At the minimum, pilots carry around a tablet, a phone, and at least one other device (GPS, communicator, etc.)
These devices need power, and pilots can’t just cross their fingers and hope to find a free charging station like civilian travelers do. Commercial pilots also don’t want to worry about charging everything up, the minute they get to a hotel.
That’s why USB battery packs make such great gifts for pilots. While it’s not the most sentimental gift,
When shopping, get a battery pack with multiple outlets, so that several devices can be charged simultaneously. And don’t be stingy on the output – higher mAh = more charge.

I don't carry a GPS. Or a "communicator." Are those transceivers, or the star trek kind? Maybe a name badge one can tap, and talk to the mother ship (although why one would want to is another matter).
Maybe its a millennial thing.
Hard Shell Luggage
This one is self-explanatory. Pilots need to haul their stuff, every day of work. Luggage for pilots isn’t something they take out of the closet every 6 months.
Because of the frequent use, make sure to go with a hard shell. The constant travel requires a quality piece of luggage that can withstand the wear and tear of daily use.

Christmas presents...the best my wife has bought (bless her soul) is a Glock. Several, actually. But I'm quite happy with a chocolate orange and a bag of almonds. I'm more concerned about what to get everyone else, and just lately I'm thinking this year a better present for everyone would be a card noting that a donation has been made in their name to the folks in Paradise...
