Are you looking for the perfect gift for your traveling mom? This post will give you some great ideas!
Read our post, 10 Father's Day Gift Ideas For The Traveling Dad, if you are going shopping for dad while you shop for mom.
2. Passport Holder - Having a passport holder keeps your passport safe from damage, gives you a place to put your insurance card or other important info you want a safe place for. This one conveniently comes with an AirTag attached so that you can find it if you misplace it.
3. AirTag - An AirTag on her passport is a great idea but mom could use another one or two. Putting an AirTag in her luggage makes it possible for her to keep track of her suitcase when she is separated from it. Click this link - AirTag Wallet Holder - if you think mom would want her AirTag in the holder pictured above. There are other types of holders too. Keychain holders for the AirTag are very popular and would make a great gift for mom.
Your traveling mom probably uses her phone a lot more than usual when she's on vacation. A power bank would come in handy when her battery is done from taking one too many photos but she still has lots more she needs to take. This one is only a little bigger than a credit card, making it easy to travel with and use. Personalize this gift by picking one in her favorite color.
5. Packing Cubes
Packing cubes are great for organizing and makes it easy for mom to find that sweater she wants to wear without having to rummage through her entire suitcase. I love them for traveling in our RV and for when me and hubby are using the same suitcase. These particular packing cubes come in a few different fun patterns and would make a perfect gift for your traveling mom no matter how she is traveling.
6. Travelon Anti-theft Bag
Being a tourist in a crowed foreign city that Mom has never been in before can be very exciting but maybe a little stressful too. Give Mom a gift that will ease some of the stress. I personally love my bag. I never worry that I will get pickpocketed and that enables me to enjoy my surroundings more. Every zipper on my bag locks and the body and strap are slash proof making it impossible for a thief to vandalize.
A foldable travel bag is lightweight and doesn't take up much space at all in Mom's luggage but can come in very handy for those times when she doesn't have room in her suitcase for all the souvenirs she bought. Or maybe she discovers she packed one too many pairs of shoes and, at the airport, finds out she will have to pay overweight charges for her luggage. Luckily she has packed the bag you bought her and she can transfer some of the heavier items into it. Now she has a standard carry-on sized bag that won't cost her a thing to bring on the plane with her.
8. Travel candles
Does your mom have a great sense of smell? That can be a problem if her hotel room is not smelling as fresh as she would like it to. Candles would make a perfect gift for her. She'll always have her room smelling as wonderful as her vacation is making her feel. These are tealights so they are very small and very easy to pack in any of her bags.
9. STANLEY Adventure Quencher Travel Tumbler
If your mom is anything like me, she makes sure that she packs her insulated water bottle everywhere she goes, including on vacation. Why not get her one she probably wouldn't buy for herself but she would love to own. STANLEY Tumblers are all the rage right now, with the Quenchers being the most popular.
10. Kindle eReader
It is easy to pack as many books as she likes in her suitcase if Mom has a Kindle. The text is as clear in bright sunlight as it is indoors so Mom can read her Kindle whether she is at the beach or relaxing at the indoor pool. If mom has a library card, let her know that she can download the Libby app. She'll be able to borrow free ebooks, digital audiobooks and magazines from her local library.

Love most of these ideas and am considering the tumbler for my daughter for Christmas ...thanks for the ideas
ReplyDeleteI think your daughter will be thrilled with her Christmas gift! Thanks for checking out this gift list
DeleteFantastic ideas! I've never heard of the Air Tag--that's really cool! The passport holder would be ideal. I love traveling and I'm also a digital scrapbooker and memory-keeper, so I especially like that travel journal. Great gift idea. Thank you for sharing this post at the Will Blog for Comments #36 linkup!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I could introduce you to a product you didn't know about. I bought all my kids one to put in their luggage after my daughter's went missing!

DeleteI don't need these for mom! I need some of them for me -- especially the Travelon bag. I've heard many good things about this one. The airtag is pretty cool too. We're headed to the UK this fall -- time to shop now! And thanks for popping by yesterday, too!
ReplyDeleteI hope you love your bag as much as I love mine!
DeleteCatherine, these are fabulous gift ideas! The air tag in the suitcase is a wonderful idea. I placed an air tag on my car keys. Didn't think about luggage. And the tea candles, ingenious! All 10 are great. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteTake care and best wishes.
Aww thanks! I can't imagine not having my air tag in my luggage when I travel anymore!!
DeleteGreat ideas for travelers - but I had to smile at the Kindle. That's great everywhere including home.
ReplyDeleteYes but I only seem to get a chance to read when I'm on vacation! I need to make more free time for myself at home!! Thanks for stopping by to check out our list!
DeleteSome great ideas here! We travelled to Europe last year and I purchased one of the Power Banks for the Cell phone, my ebook and laptop - money well spent. Thanks for sharing at #WeekendTrafficJamReboot and I have selected your post as one of my favourites for this week. x
