Either way, you can't go wrong with Rimowa's cult-favorite classic checked bag.
Master & Dynamic MW75 Active Noise-Cancelling Wireless Headphones
For the mom who loves travel and tech, might we suggest a luxurious new travel gadget for Mother's Day?

Rothy's The Travel Pouch Set
As any frequent flyer knows, a few well-organized pouches containing in-flight essentials are a total game-changer. And sure, she probably has a few worn-out bags at home, but this is the time to treat her to some upgrades—case in point, these Rothy's pouches, which are lightweight, just structured enough and crafted from the cutest crochet-style open knit.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
For the jet-setting bookworm: a new Kindle, so she can store all the books she wants in this one petite e-reader. The latest Kindle Paperwhite is lightweight and easy to stow in her bag, ideal for both long flights and shorter jaunts.
Tumi Just in Case Tote Bag
Tumi's Just in Case foldable tote is an essential for the on-the-go mom. It's almost shockingly lightweight and incredibly spacious; the zippered bag folds flat so that it's entirely packable; when it's unfolded and in its tote form, it offers tons of space for all her carry-on essentials.
Smythson Passport Cover in Mara
Smythson makes organization ridiculously chic—their stylish passport holder is a fashionable and practical way of storing her essentials while adventuring around the world.
Primally Pure The Jet Set
TSA-ready skincare is a must, but so is bodycare—especially for the mom who doesn't like to leave it to chance when it comes to amenities. This set from Primally Pure includes travel-sized versions of soothing products like their body wash, body butter, lip balm and deodorant, all in a jet-set ready bag.

July Packing Cells Eight Pack
Packing cubes are a game-changer when it comes to not only keeping organized (sense a pattern here?) while traveling, but also managing to bring along a few more items in your bag than you would otherwise. This eight-pack from July is ideal for storing her travel essentials.
Away Carry-On Flex Suitcase in Coast Blue
Upgrade her banged-up carry-on with one of Away's sleek suitcases. This style has an expansion feature for even more room, because sometimes, you just need extra space. It comes with a luggage tag, and if you want to make your gift extra special, consider personalizing it with her initials. It's sure to be her new favorite travel bag.
La Prairie Skin Caviar Eye Lift
We talk about La Prairie's eye lift serum a lot, and that's because it's that good—it's infused with both caviar infinite and caviar micronutrients. It's undoubtedly a splurge, but if anyone's deserving of the most indulgent self-care, it's mom. This eye serum helps to re-sculpt the eye contour, for the ultimate in firming, smoothing and lifting. It's the perfect gift for the traveler—she'll look well-rested in no time.
Lake Pajamas Alice Nightgown in Blue Seersucker
If your mom loves elegant, whimsical sleepwear (because honestly, who doesn't?), she'll be delighted to receive Lake Pajamas' blue seersucker nightgown. Crafted of 100 percent Pima cotton, it's the most adorable nighttime attire for summer—and all her upcoming beach trips.
La Mer The Hydrating Infused Emulsion
A selection of TSA-approved skincare and beauty products is essential for any quality toiletry bag, but mini doesn't mean boring. Elevate her on-the-go routine with petite indulgences like this La Mer hydrating emulsion; it's an ultralight formula that helps hydrate, soften and smooth skin.
Jenni Kayne Cashmere Cocoon Cardigan
A 100 percent cashmere cardigan sweater is always a great gift, and happens to make for an optimal layering essential when on the go—seriously, why are planes always so freezing?
Beauty Sleep & Wool Cashmere Travel Spray Duo
For the woman who takes the finest care of the finest things, even while on the go. This two-piece travel set from The Laundress will keep her bedding and knits fresh and wrinkle-free, no matter where she's off to.
