Fun Gifts for Women Who Love to Travel

Finding the perfect gift for the women in your life can be hard. So we asked the experts: our TravelingMoms. These are the things we never leave home without. (OK. Some of them are the gift ideas we put on their own wish lists this year. I’m looking at you, girlfriends getaway without the kids!) Go ahead and forward this to the person who is buying for you. We won’t tell.

Best Travel Gifts for Women Under $20

Waterproof Phone Pouch

Long gone are the days when mom is stuck on the sidelines holding the phones or taking the photos! With this Waterproof Phone Pouch, she can be front and center for the fun while still having the opportunity to capture memories with her phone. This waterproof phone pouch is perfect for a day at the waterpark, kayaking or any adventure where her phone needs to stay protected and hands-free.

Bagail Set of Packing Cubes

We love, love, love, these packing cubes! They make packing so easy, especially with kids. We can pack more into each travel bag and suitcase and unpacking in the hotel room is easy — simply slip the packing cube into the drawer. Our TravelingMoms recommend buying different colored cubes for everyone in the family, so it’s easy for the kids to identify their stuff. (We like the zebra-stiped bags!)

In Car Air Purifier

This is the year to give mom (maybe to give yourself!) an in-car USB Humidifier Air Purifier. We’ve all road tripped with kids. We KNOW what the car smells like during a long road trip. This air purifier is the answer. And when the kids get antsy and you’re ready to threaten to “turn this car around,” you can instead pop in a nice, soothing lavender scent to calm the masses.

Travelambo Women’s Wallet

We love how simple, sleek and functional this wallet is and we love that it has an RFID blocking bifold to protect personal information and credit cards and a zipper pocket.

Scratch Off World Map

We TravelingMoms haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on our list! This unique gift is a fun way for any frequent traveler to keep up with where they’ve been and where they want to go next. Right now, it’s the stuff that dreams are made of! If she isn’t already a world traveler this will motivate her.

Personalized Passport Holder

This passport cover will go everywhere with her. Frequent travelers love the stories that their passports tell. That’s why we think this is such a great gift idea!

Gifts to Make Mom’s Life Easier

We’ve partnered with Evenflo to offer TravelingMom readers a 22% discount on baby gear. Evenflo has been a go-to for our writers for years and we’re thrilled to share the Evenflo line of baby products with the next generation of traveling families. 

Sometimes getting a mom something she needs is the best gift of all – even if she doesn’t yet realize she needs it! 

While you may not think of a car seat as a great gift for mom, the Evenflo Revolve360 is the car seat she has always wanted. . 

This genius-level design sets the gold standard for car seats. Why? Because it swivels. That eliminates the need to hunch through the door of the vehicle and bend over the seat. Just swivel the seat to face the car door, buckle in the baby and swivel it back. No back strain for parents. 

We don’t want to oversell it, but every time she buckles the baby in and swivels the seat around, she will think of you fondly. And this seat works for kiddos from infant through toddler age. 

This Evenflo deal is also a great way for grandparents to give their kids a break. Use the 22% discount to outfit your house for baby’s visit. Whether you live near or far, having basic baby gear on hand helps in two ways:

• You can easily keep the grandkids for a visit, giving parents the ultimate gift: time to themselves. 
• When the whole family comes to visit, they won’t have to bring all of that gear  with them. 

We recommend buying  baby gates, a high chair, playpen and activity center. 

Then give mom a certificate for a weekend to herself because you’re fully equipped and ready to take care of baby!

Gifts for Women Under $50

Fracture Glass Prints

Every traveler has the same problem: a hard drive full of great family vacation photos that rarely (never?) get looked at again. Fractureme.com is the perfect solution: Choose your favorite photos, upload them to the site and — voila — a wall full of glass prints showcasing her gorgeous memories of a wonderful trip. It’s a gift that any traveler will treasure.

Wanderlust Airplane Necklace

We love this airplane necklace because it’s a beautiful and practical way to celebrate her love of travel! Pick one up for yourself, your friend or that special wanderer in your life.

Womens Foldable Brim UV Sun Protection Hat

One of my favorite travel accessories is my foldable wide brim hat. I keep it in my purse or backpack and have it ready at all times for a day at the beach or shopping downtown.

Personalized Heart Map Print

Turn your favorite memories into a beautiful handcrafted gift with this Personalized Heart Map Print. This custom-made gift can showcase your favorite vacation memories, home locations or even bucket-list destinations.

Portable Indoor/Outdoor Lock Box Safe

Help her keep the things she cares about safe while traveling or spending the day at the beach. Keys, wallets and air pods can all get locked away in safety with this portable lockbox safe. Anyone who has had important items stolen while traveling knows that this gift is one that keeps on giving.

Travel Journal

I remember a group trip that included a British woman who spent her afternoons painting watercolor pictures of the Galapagos Islands in a beautiful travel journal. I can’t paint, but I can write and I love recording my trip highlights in travel journals. I still sometimes wistfully re-read my journal from my first big international trip — a five-week journey around Australia.

Carry on Cocktail Kit

This fun cocktail kit is perfect for her next flight. It has everything she needs (minus the alcohol) to make her favorite drink on the plane. Choose her favorite–Moscow Mule, Margarita, Bloody Mary or even an Old Fashioned! In case she doesn’t have a flight booked soon, give her the bottle of booze, too. That way she can make the cocktail at home while she dreams of her next trip.

Travel Scarf

No matter where I go, I bring along a lightweight travel scarf. It can act as a blanket, roll up into a travel pillow, become a head covering or fashion accessory. This high-quality version even has a hidden pocket at the back of the neck for inserting hand warmers to keep her warm on that frigid plane ride or on a long road trip. It’s super soft and machine washable! A great travel accessory for anyone.

Lay-N-Go Cosmetic Bag

My 24-year-old daughter loves this one! She uses it every day at home and always takes it on the road with her. It’s one of her travel essentials. The Lay-n-Go Cosmo Bag’s brilliant design lets her see all of her cosmetics and skincare essentials and clean up with the pull of a drawstring. This toiletry bag rolls up for packing then flattens to a 20” diameter circle that makes it easy to see everything inside. To sweeten the deal, this makeup bag’s collapsible pouch design is machine washable for those inevitable product spills and powder breaks.

Moon Lamp

No matter where she goes, you love her to the moon and back. This is a great gift that will remind her of that.

Inflatable Travel Foot Rest Pillow

Have you seen these inflatable travel foot rest pillows? What a brilliant travel gift idea! It should become a best seller! It can be used to take a load off and to rest feet and legs while on a train, bus or airplane. Or, my favorite, at the airport during those agonizingly long layovers between flights. Way more useful to travel lovers than a neck pillow.

Stitch ”Ohana Forever” Robe for Women

Is Mom a Disney-lover? This Stitch robe with ”Ohana forever” embroidered on the chest is a great choice! It’s made of cozy fleece so she can think of you while she’s snuggled up watching her favorite movie, Lilo & Stitch.

Wooden Wall Map

This is one of the coolest travel gifts that we’ve ever seen. This unique piece will be her new favorite home decor item! Not only does it look amazing but it is also a fun way for her to keep up with all of the places she’s traveled to — and dream about the places she still wants to see.

Gifts for Women Under $100

Personalized USA Travel Photo Map

Looking for a one-of-a-kind gift? She’ll love this fun and decorative Personalized USA Travel Photo Map to showcase her memories of adventure!

Anker PowerCore Essential 

We love this Anker Powercore Essential. This portable charger is slim enough to slip into a jeans pants pocket but powerful enough to quick-charge 3 devices at once! Everyone needs a power bank for juice on the go.

Tile Mate Key Finder

When you’re staying in a vacation rental or hotel, away from your normal key storage solutions, it’s easy to misplace important items, like your car keys. I can’t even begin to tell you how many times I’ve frantically searched for my keys after my kids used them to grab something from our vehicle after we stopped for the night. Tile Mate is a Bluetooth tracker to help you locate anything you don’t want to misplace while traveling. Travel Tip: Attach the Tile Mate to your kid’s backpack, your car keys, your purse and more.

Gifts for Women Under $200

Long-Distance Friendship Lamp

Stay connected to those who are far away with this WiFi Touch Lamp. When either person is thinking of the other, they can simply touch the lamp and the lamp will illuminate at both locations.

North Face Travel Backpack

She needs a durable backpack that can get her through every adventure! This North Face one is great because it can hold a lot and was specifically created for women.

A Year of Universal Yums

Does she still talk about the food she had while traveling or love to try new foods from around the world? Delight her taste buds with a single gift basket or give her snackable joy month after month with a yearly subscription to Universal Yums.

Allbirds Shoes

TravelingMom Founder Kim Orlando raves about these travel shoes. “I can walk for miles (and I do!) with no issue. They wash up perfectly,” she says. Every member of her family has at least one pair. They’re easy to pop off for TSA and comfy enough for a long flight.

Digital Photo Frame

This is NOT your typical digital photo frame. What makes this photo frame “special” is that you can send photos to an email address and then those photos will instantly appear on the frame. The Skylight Frame is a great gift for travelers who want to share their adventures with the folks at home. It’s also a lovely gift for a grandma who wants to see updated photos of her grandchildren. What a beautiful way to stay connected with the ones we love and miss the most!

USE CODE: TravelingMom for $10 off this incredible digital frame!

Cashmere Travel Scarf

Elevate the scarf by choosing this luxe cashmere version for double duty. It will keep you warm on the plane and becomes a go-to accessory after landing, serving as everything from a throw blanket to a fashion wrap.

Travel Experiences

Our TravelingMoms are all about “experiences” over “things.” So when we buy gifts for our travel-loving friends (or make our own gift wish list!), experiences are what we like. Finding the right experience can be a challenge, though. That’s why we were so excited to discover Tinggly’s unique “experience” gift boxes. It’s a gift that lets the receiver choose the experience she covets most.

Tinggly has boxes for travelers who like self-care, food, culture, romance or adventure. We vote for the “bucket list” box. It lets the receiver choose from among 600+ travel experiences around the world — from a hot air balloon ride over Temecula California to a photography tour of New York City’s Central Park to a food tasting tour of Naples, Italy, by vintage Vespa. So, essentially, you’re giving the experience-loving woman in your life a travel gift she can customize to fit her next trip.

Gifts for Women for $200+

Vitamix Blender

Do you know a woman who loves blended drinks–either the healthy ones or the kind they serve poolside? Gift her a Vitamix blender! It’s a TravelingMom favorite that she’ll want to take with her everywhere. Vacation rental? Cabin? Hotel? You bet! Plus, with the Vitamix 10-year full warranty, she’ll be able to treasure it just as long as she treasures the memories created.

Professional Photos

As a TravelingMom, two of my favorite things are my family and the travel memories we create together. Therefore, I can’t think of a more beautiful gift than that of professional photos taken on an annual family vacation or on a once-in-a-lifetime trip! That’s the beauty of Flytographer, you can book a photographer to meet you almost anywhere you plan to go.

Flytographer gift cards are easy to give and the one receiving the gift can control when and where they are used! Photographers are available at over 350 destinations worldwide.

Romantic Vacation Just for 2

If you’re looking for the ultimate gift idea, treat her to an adults-only Sandals Vacation. It’s all-inclusive, so she won’t have to lift a finger and there won’t be any end-of-vacation budget surprises. This resort has everything she needs for the perfect escape from all of her many responsibilities. Due to COVID-19, many of these all-inclusive resorts are have incredible sales making this type of vacation more affordable than ever. Now might be the time to splurge and we know she’s worth it.

The Gifts TravelingMoms Covet

As busy travelers and adventurers, our go-to travel products, gadgets and accessories are the ones that make our travels easier and more fun. From tote bags to hot tech, water bottles to weekend getaways, comfy travel clothes to a cute face mask chain, these are the best gift ideas that make our gift wish lists every year. We want your mom, sister, wife, daughter or best friend to have them, too.

These great gifts sell for as little as $15 right up to splurges of $200+. (But you know she’s worth it, right?)

Forget the gift card this year. Buy her a gift set of travel dreams. It’s just what she needs after the last 18 months!
