Tips / Travel

Looking for something even a jet-setting mom and dad will love? Try one of these ideas on for size.

Fitbit Charge 2 ($150)

For the parents who have a little trouble making sure they keep moving, gift them with this Fitbit Charge 2 … and then tell them to start making tracks, so you can keep them around as long as possible. The updated version measures heart rate, steps, cardio fitness level and more. It also offers call, text and calendar alerts, so they never miss your call again. It comes in several colors with interchangeable accessory bands, to match any of mom’s outfits.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 90 Neo Classic Instant Film Camera ($100)

For the parents continuously asking for help with their digital camera (probably the same digital camera they used to capture your 8th-grade graduation), the Fujifilm Instax Mini may be more their style. The camera produces quality photos, works in nearly any situation and produces great-looking photos almost instantly — perfect for sticking on the fridge, scrapbooking or showing off to friends.

Leather Passport Case ($44)

What’s more stylish and cutesy than matching leather passport cases? Plus, you can get them monogrammed with your parents’ initials for just $10 more. Choose from 13 different colors.

Savvy Travelers Squeaky Klean Kit ($27.50)

Whether your parents are still wrangling your younger, germ-attractant siblings or you’ve just frequently spotted them wiping down a tray table with Germ-X and a Kleenex, keep them clean on their next trip with this kit from Savvy Travelers. It comes with a pack of 10 surface-cleaning wipes, 10 electronic device wipes and one black light flashlight for checking out questionable situations.
