Mother’s Day is right around the corner. And I have to tell you, this year will be challenging for me. Usually, we do something outdoorsy and travel themed for Mother’s Day. And yes, when I’m talking about Mother’s Day, I am so obsessed with travel planning I plan my own Mother’s Day. With travel restrictions likely to stay in place until the end of May, it looks like that won’t happen. Instead, I’ve come up with these gift ideas for Mother’s Day that I, and other moms who love to travel, would enjoy.

Do you have a mom who loves to travel? Or have a friend that you can pass this list along to her spouse for hints? These Mother’s Day Gift Ideas are created by small business owners through Etsy. When you buy from this list, you’re supporting a small business, and probably a mom who loves to travel!

Vintage Travel Prints

I don’t know what it is, but I love those vintage and retro style travel advertising prints. They definitely make me want to travel more.

I’d recommend looking for a place that she’s been, so mom can look back fondly at your travels together. Or, find something that matches the decor of where you’ll think she’ll hang this travel print. The following are some of my favorites.

Remember, some of these may not come with frames, so keep that in mind when ordering.
