Mother’s Day is coming up, and with it an opportunity to celebrate mothers of all kinds. This can mean your own mother, but it could also mean a grandmother or any other woman who’s had an influence in your life. If you’re looking for a gift for a mother who loves to travel, here are our top tips: <br> <br>
<br>
A quality powerbank
Have you ever been stuck at an airport with your phone at 17%, unable to find a plug socket, and worst of all – your boarding pass on your phone!? If so, you know just how important – and how stressful – it is to keep your phone charged while travelling. <br> <br> Powerbanks are only getting better and better, so there are many great options out there. Belkin makes a sleek but powerful powerbank which allows you to charge up to three devices at one time. Unlike older powerbanks, it holds enough of a charge for two full charging cycles. It comes in blue, black or pink, and for only £22.99, it’s a great investment. <br> <br>

Travel essentials kit
Travel kits are great for those who don’t want to bring full bottles of product on their trips, especially when travelling with hand luggage only. For Mother’s Day, why not splurge on a nicer set? Aesop offer curated travel kits inspired by cities which include both hair and skin care, and comes in a nice toiletry bag. At £55, it’s great value for money, and since many of the products included can also be purchased separately, she can keep topping up the kit and reusing it for many years to come. <br> <br>
<br>
Travel gifts cards
Gift cards may not normally inspire excitement, but there are situations where they are a perfect gift. If you know your mum has her eye on a particular destination, why not help her pay for part of it? And because you can choose what amount you want to put on the gift card, this one is suitable for any budget. <br> <br> A lastminute.com gift card can be topped up with £500, or if you’re looking to splurge, TUI offers both digital and physical gift cards that can be topped up with up to £1,000. <br> <br>
<br>
Packing cubes
Another perfect gift for frequent travellers is packing cubes. Packing your items in smaller cases is a great way to stay organised on your trip and ensure you can find everything quickly. These come at many different price points, but for a really nice gift, you can’t go wrong with Away packing cubes. Their starter set of six is £65 and comes in many different colours. It also comes with a 100-day guarantee so you can feel safe knowing she can use it time and time again. <br> <br>
<br>
Travel books
If mum isn’t planning a trip away any time soon, a coffee table travel book may be a good option. Why not pick her favourite city or a destination she’s hoping to visit? Louis Vuitton have published a series of travel books – and they’re not as expensive as you may think. Starting from £46, they’re a great option if you’d like to combine a love of fashion with a love of travel. Another popular option is the Assouline city books for £85 a piece. <br> <br>
