You know it’s coming. It happens every single year. It’s Mother’s Day. So what will you do to help celebrate one of the most important women in your life? Is it flowers, a card, dinner? Perhaps you are ready to think outside the box. Umm if my Hubby is reading a trip to Paris, New York or weekend sunning on beaches of powdery sand would be all kinds of perfect.
But when schedules, budgets or just plain real life doesn’t allow for such extravagance there are still plenty of ways to make your Mama happy on this special day. If your Mom loves to travel, like me, here are 8 choices for gifts that are sure to make her swoon.
A Portable Jewelry Box. This pretty little Travel Jewelry Box from Vlando is perfect for your next trip. A great find for only $15.99 on Amazon.
Some travel-inspired jewelry to go in that box of course. I have to admit, I’m kind of in love with this piece, a little love of the world to wear around your neck, the “In Love with the World Medallion” globe necklace. On sale right now for only $75 at one of my favourite places for gift buying Uncommon Goods.com.
Mophie Powerstation XL
“With super high-output charging speeds and an unmatched 6000 mA battery capacity, the power station duo was designed to power two USB devices simultaneously – including the iPad or other power-hungry tablets”.

The Go Pro Hero Session 5
Such an easy way to capture those moments you simply don’t want to miss! Portable, operates with the touch of just one button and will change the way you take video. Oh, how I need one of these!

Belkin MIXIT Lightning to USB Leather Tassel. Did you remember the charger? Where is the charger? Damn, I left the charger will never be uttered again. Not with the Belkin Lightning Cable Tassel firmly attached to my favorite bag. Compatible with Apple iPhones / iPads and other lightning charged products and available in a variety of colours it might be smart to grab a couple, you know, to match with your fave carry-on purses.

Scratch Off Travel Map
Using just an eraser you can update your very own world map after every trip, adding layers of colour to the distinctive black and gold map. The pictured map is a deluxe version found at both Uncommon Goods and Amazon!
A portable keyboard. Sometimes when on a quick trip you don’t want to pack up your entire laptop, but still want the capability to be able to send off long e-mails or write about your latest adventures in your notes. Enter the Zagg Pocket Keyboard. Perfection when you need your phone to be, well, a laptop! Just unfold and attach.
Headphones. A good, but pretty pair of noise-canceling headphones are a dream come true for a savvy traveler. My choice, Beats by Dr. Dre. Retailing for $399.99 they may be a higher price point, but when they help to guarantee a quiet flight, they are priceless.
I hope you find some shopping inspiration for the traveler on your list, and I hope my Hubby gets the hint! Happy Shopping and Happy Mothers Day!

That map and the necklace with the globe are such great ideas for my sister. She would go bananas for either of them.

I love the idea for a Go Pro camera, I think it is something that our whole family would enjoy and since I love getting out with hubby and kids exploring it would be perfect gift!
