Every mom deserves a break, whether she's taking a solo trip, going away with friends, or heading on a family vacation. This Mother's Day, there's a variety of ways to make sure her travels — near or far — run as smoothly as possible. Our curated gift guide is designed to help her get the most out of each trip.

From a digital luggage scale that helps avoid extra baggage fees to packing cubes that make organizing her suitcase a breeze, here are the top gifts for moms who love to travel.

Silicone travel makeup brush holder

This easy-to-clean and stain resistant silicone case is perfect for storing makeup brushes on the go. The case, which comes in a variety of colors, keeps items secure with a magnetic closure. 

This container is $13.99, but you might also want to purchase the companion sponge holder for $9.99.

Refillable perfume atomizer bottles

For the mom who wants to smell good on-the-go, this compact gift is perfect!

Instead of stressing over how to travel with several perfume bottles, this easy-to-refill container allows users to carry 5mL (or more than 70 sprays) of their favorite perfumes. Four refillable perfume atomizer bottles cost $7.55.

Lighted makeup mirror

This thin, foldable mirror is perfect for moms who like to do their makeup in poorly lit hotel or Airbnb rooms. This lighted makeup mirror is rechargeable and features a stand that can fold on top of the mirror to protect it during travel.

The mirror is currently $34.99.

This 8-set packing organizer can be stowed in most carry-on bags, and comes with packing cubes for neatly storing clothing, as well as shoe, sock, drawstring, and cosmetics bags. It’s currently priced at $24.99.

Travel journal and photo album

Even if your mom doesn’t have a trip planned, you can still get her a gift that speaks to her wanderlust. This $30 travel journal and photo album will help her organize and store the memories from each trip in a compact place for years to come.

Travel charger for multiple devices

The tech mom on-the-go needs this magnetic foldable charging station. 

If you’re used to your mom haphazardly throwing all of her charging cords into a bag, this is a more organized and compact solution that still allows all of her devices to remain fully charged.
