Mother's Day is fast approaching with just under a month to go. This year it falls on May 11, the second Sunday in May as usual. So, what are you going to get your mom? Don't be cliche and just send flowers. Give her something that doesn't get tossed out in a week or two. If you don't live nearby, think about giving something like a gift card to an airline to encourage her to visit. Or maybe she already loves to travel and you want to give her something that she can make use of while doing so. Here are a few ideas on items that might be worth considering. Maybe put together your own gift basket with a few of the smaller items listed here. There are also some ideas for the new moms or soon-to-be moms.

Apple AirPods Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds, Active Noise Cancellation, Hearing Aid Feature, Bluetooth Headphones, Transparency, High-Fidelity Sound, H2 Chip, USB-C Charging
An absolute must for any air traveler! I learned early on that when it comes to headphones you can't go cheap. A bad pair will just frustrate you and travel is already stressful enough. Let Mom get a break and watch her favorite movie on the flight comfortably using the next item (Twelve South) to convert the in-flight audio into wireless. Or maybe she just wants to listen to some quiet white noise on the plane while she catches some Z's.
Whatever she wants to use it for, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 have amazing sound and they have noise cancelling which is essential for a noisy environment like a plane. You get about 6 hours of listening time for each single charge and a fully charged case will give you around 5 charges for your AirPods so in total she'll have 30 hours (not continuous as the earbuds must charge in the case obviously).
Twelve South AirFly SE
We love this item. Combined with the AirPods she can use it on planes, in gyms, anywhere she needs want to convert a wired headphone jack to a wireless transmitter. It allows you to wirelessly transmit audio from in-flight entertainment, gym equipment, gaming devices, TV's or any 3.5 audio jack. AirFly Pro has a battery life of over 20 hours can even be used while charging with the included cable if it is running low on power. Other models are available the allow for 2 wireless headphones to connect simultaneously and some can also act as a receiver allowing someone to connect their iPhone music to an analog sound system as long as it has the 3.5 audio jack.
Napfun 100% Pure Memory Foam Neck Pillow for Travel
If Mom is are lucky enough to be flying long haul in a lie flat bed, she can get a good sleep with what the airline provides. If she isn't doing so, then she'll have to try and arrange their body in a barely reclined position you need to up her pillow game. Personally speaking the thing that makes my sleep nightmarish on a plane is the head bob forward always wakes me. I need a wraparound that will prevent my head from dipping forward too much when I sleep. This pillow does just that.
The pillow can be adjusted to position your head in a comfortable manner no matter that seat you are located in. Aisle, window, middle, you'll be able to find something that works. It is fully machine washable the cover can be removed to wash separately. Available in different colors and bundles that have sleep mask and earplugs as well.
MZOO Luxury 3D Contoured Sleep Mask
Can't give mom a pillow and not a mask to help out while she naps, right? Say goodbye to awkward fitting sleep masks that let light filter in, or that press uncomfortably on your eyelids. The modal foam mask is adjustable and has a solid 3 dimensional design that fits the contours of your face beautifully. There is even an eyecup built it to alleviate any pressure on the eyelids. Let her catch those 40 winks in bliss! The kit comes with a carry bag and earplugs.
We can't forget about the new Moms out there so here are a few essentials for traveling with baby.
HALO Sleepsack Swaddle 3-6 Months and Wearable Blanket 6-12 Months
These sleepsack swaddles are an absolute must for any parent and we absolutely swear by them for letting your infant get a peaceful sleep, either at home or on the road. I could not create a proper swaddle for the life of me so I cannot express how grateful we were to have found out about these when our daughter was born.
Newborns will often wake themselves up when their arms flail. The startle (or Moro) reflex is present in most young infants until they reach about 3 months old. The sleepsack can let you wrap your infant three ways. Arms tucked in, hand-to-face, or arms out. Arms tucked in is best for the youngest infants as it keeps their arms secured as well as ensures the baby is sleeping on her back.
The 100% Organic Cotton 2-Piece Gift Set shown here (49.99) is just one of many combinations with numerous styles, colors, and sizes available through Halo. Find the right size and age for your infant.
