Mother’s Day Gifts For the Traveling Mom

You inherited your love of travel from your mom, but what do you get the woman who already has the perfect set of luggage and snazzy travel gadgets?

  1. Harness your inner child and make a personalized photo book using pictures from a family vacation or your mother’s favorite trip.  Monitor sites like Snapfish and Shutterfly for sales as their customized photo books often go on sales  around holidays.
  2. Celebrate mother’s worldwide by shopping for Fair Trade Gifts that are made or harvested by women or are sold by an organization whose mission statement includes advancing women’s rights.  Popular Fair Trade gifts are coffee, tea, chocolate, and jewelry.  Fair trade flowers are another option.  If you want to earn airline miles when purchasing your mother flowers, consider ordering via FTD which has bouquet options that are made from fair trade flowers.
  3. Consider treating your mother to an afternoon at the spa such as the Trump Soho, which offers an authentic Turkish or Moroccan Hammam experience.
  4. Purchase an iTunes gift certificate through an airline shopping portal such as United Airlines, which will allow you to earn one mile for every $1 spent.
  5. Top off your mother’s frequent flyer account for her next trip by gifting her miles.  US Airways is currently offering a 100% bonus on all miles purchased.
  6. Take your mother on a day trip to England without ever leaving your city.  Find a hotel or restaurant in your city that offers High Tea service.
  7. Purchase an ethnic cooking class for your mother and you to take together.
  8. Buy a photography class for your globe trotting mother.
