"A mother is the truest friend we have." - Washington Irving
A mom is your first, built-in best friend and they deserve to be treated on Mother's Day and every day! We dropped the ball a little bit last year on the gift recommendations for travel-loving moms, but we're back at it!
It can feel overwhelming to sift through all of the travel-themed gifts out there nowadays, so below is a compilation of some of our recent favorites that would make for great Mother's Day gifts! We'd love for you to drop any of your current favorite travel items in the comments. You can also check out some of our previous gift recommendations that we still love HERE.
Quick plug: If you are looking for a great U.S. travel destination for a mother-daughter getaway this Mother’s Day, check out our blog post on that topic HERE.

Travel Favorites for Mother's Day:
1. AirFly
It's the worst when you can't use your favorite Bluetooth headphones while traveling on long-haul flights, so that's where AirFly comes in! It allows you to connect your Bluetooth headphones to the television screen at your seat.
It has been hard to find travel containers that are actually sturdy, leak-proof, and look good! These have been our recent favorites because they are also magnetic so that they all stay together.
We absolutely love our Rumpl blanket! It's the perfect outdoor blanket to bring to outdoor concerts, hiking, and similar activities. They are celebrating their 10-year anniversary May 17-27 and you can get 25% off their products! They have blankets that are themed for your favorite National Park and many additional options.
We always collect so many ticket stubs from museums, activities, etc. during our travels together, so a cute place to store your collection is a must! We love this one and can't wait to fill it up.
If your mom complains about her cute travel dresses getting wrinkled in transit, check out this bag that acts as a garment bag so that you can keep your favorite clothing items unwrinkled!
If you're looking to splurge a little, this little DJI camera has quickly become one of our favorite travel items! We use it to capture video clips for vlogs, and it is so compact and easy to use. It also captures photos, has great zoom, and easily connects to your phone to transfer files.
7. A shared experience!
This one always needs to be included! Some of our favorite gifts we have given each other have been shared experiences: Concerts, plays, a tour (like a Viator), and other fun ways to spend time together. Take a look at what events are coming up near where you live, or where you may be traveling, that you can get some tickets for!
For example, here's a shot from a tour we booked in Cancun called Xenotes that took us to beautiful cenotes. We wouldn't trade that experience for any physical gift!
No matter whether you buy your mom a gift, an experience, or something else, we hope you get to spend some great quality time with the mother-figure in your life on Mother's Day! Our hearts go out to those who have a mom that is no longer with us because Pam can relate. Their presence will always be felt on Mother's Day.
Happy early Mother's Day!
-Nikki + Pam
