Plan a Trip or Activity

Planning a trip for the special mother in your life may be the ultimate gift, however that can be tricky if you don’t know exactly what they’re looking for in their next adventure. This may be the time to start trying to dig for a little more information on what their next ideal travel itinerary may include. There are many sites that can help you start your planning journey, such as Tripadvisor.com to help you find your perfect accommodations.

Maybe you’re not feeling super confident in planning her next trip or maybe she has a new travel adventure already planned for the near future. How about surprising her with an activity, special meal, or spa treatment while on vacation? Viator is a great resource for planning unique excursions.

Journal

A beautiful journal to help her remember her travel experiences or anything else she may want to jot down.

Keepsake Travel Map

This is a beautiful keepsake to help keep track of all the places that she has visited by herself or with her loved ones. The entire family will enjoy checking the map and discussing the places they’ve been while dreaming and planning of the places they want to visit next! It’s also a great conversation piece when guests come to visit!

Toiletry Case

This is a must have item for every traveler. A hanging toiletry case keeps all of your personal items in one place and has a convenient hook to hang in a bathroom for easy access when showering or getting ready for the day.

Weekender Bag

This bag is so roomy and versatile! It’s great for a weekend trip or as a carry on bag.

Infinity Scarf with Secret Pocket

This infinity scarf has a secret! It has a secret zippered pocket, perfect for travelers to store their cell phone, credit cards, etc. This scarf is also super versatile and can be used as a shawl, blanket, cover-up, and whatever else you may think of!

Shutterfly Travel Tumbler

This travel tumbler is one of my personal favorites! Not only do I use it when I’m traveling, but I use it just about every day as well. As a busy mom, I set my coffee or tea down and forget about it for an absurd amount of time. This tumbler keeps my beverage warm for hours so I don’t have to reheat it once I return to it! It also gets bonus points for displaying pictures of my favorite little people!

Turkish Beach Towel

Make sure she’s traveling in style during her next trip to the beach or the pool. These beautiful Turkish towels are stylish, fast-drying, and sand-resistant! Who could ask for anything more?

Keepsake Jewelry

Can one really have too many pieces of jewelry? Hint-the answer is no, especially when they’re beautiful and unique pieces that remind you of your adventures (or your children, you can never have too many of those pieces either). Etsy has a plethora of gorgeous handmade statement pieces that are perfect for every occasion and every adventure.

Jewelry for Travel

Sometimes the preferred choice is to not bring important or special jewelry on trips. The trend that we’re seeing more and more is jewelry that is specific for travel. Silicone rings are becoming increasingly more popular as women (and men) are leaving their wedding and engagement rings at home. This is a great way to prevent these important pieces from being lost or stolen.

Pop-Up Floral Bouquet Mother’s Day Card

Don’t forget the card! This is the perfect greeting card for Mother’s day! Flowers are beautiful, but they inevitably decompose and your left with nothing. These beauties will last forever (or as long as she’s willing to have them around).
