Best Mother’s Day Gifts for the Traveling Mom

Mother’s Day is right around the corner — May 10 to be exact — so now is the perfect time to start shopping for the perfect gift.

For staying warm and cozy on a long flight, gift your mom an oversized pashmina or a comfortable shawl. She can wear either as a scarf or to wrap up for extra coverage. If your special lady likes to sleep while in transit, order a nap kit like this one from Brookstone. For $34.99, this kit comes with an eye mask, ear buds and an inflatable neck pillow.

Grab a few of your mom’s favorite magazines or a book she’s been dying to read. If your mom prefers reading from a tablet onboard, give her an iTunes gift card. Give a subscription to Birchbox. Many of the products in the monthly boxes are travel-sized. A water bottle from Nalgene or S’well is a great gift for staying hydrated on the go.

For something more personal, buy a framed map or painting of a meaningful destination. Or have some photos printed from a memorable vacation. Surprise your mom with a getaway. Opt for a quick weekend trip or a longer trip to a destination on her bucket list.
