10 Perfect Gifts For The Traveling Mom

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.

We have been doing a lot of traveling since we retired. We are so grateful that we are getting to live the life we dreamed of! Our kids know that they have traveling parents now and when they are looking for gifts for us, they keep that in mind . So for the benefit of my kids, and all kids and families with a traveling mom, this helpful list gives you 10 great gift ideas!

1. Travel Journal - Writing in a travel journal after a day of adventure is a great way to enjoy the day all over again. It's also a perfect way to remember all the small details of a fun vacation. This one won't take up much room at all in mom's suitcase.

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.

Keychain holders for the AirTag are very popular and would make a great gift for mom.

4. Power Bank For Cell Phone

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.

7. Foldable Travel Bag

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.
