If your mom feels most at home on the trails and in a national park, she'll appreciate a U.S. Park Pass. The annual card grants access to all national parks, monuments and, battlefields in the United States. At parks where per-person fees are charged, passholders can bring three adults in, so her friends or your family can tag along, too.

Treat mom to a new pair of hiking shoes for your next trek together. Merrell designed this pair specifically for women, with our specific toe splay, hip width, and arch propensities in mind. It's a good versatile hiker that she can wear as easily on trails as she can while running around town and heading out on long days of sightseeing. 

For the mom who is always on the road with a backpack in tow, get her something that fits her well.

For the mom who swears by Marie Kondo, make the organizer in her happy with Bellroy's Tech Kit; it's filled with loops and pockets to give every cord and earphone its proper place.

Packing cubes are a game changer—just ask the ladies behind The Home Edit, or Traveler editor Lale Arikoglu, who has raved about Paravel's personalized set. It come with four cubes—a large, a medium, and two small ones—all of which are easy to wipe clean and even easier to store (just nest them all into each other).

We love Courant's chic portable chargers, so it's no surprise the pebbled leather AirPod cases are just as cute. Plus, they make the slippery cases easier to grip, meaning there's less chance she'll dropping them when digging through her purse in the airport security line.

Now that she's back to her regular salon and spa appointments, a gift card will help her support her favorite spot and have a reason to book an extra appointment or two. SpaFinder makes it easy to search for places by location and service, so she can book something close to home or on her next vacation.

Boll and Branch, known for its soft cotton sheets (loved by three U.S. presidents, if you've somehow missed the podcast ads), makes another cozy waffle robe. It's a little thicker than Parachute's, and has large pockets and a soft fabric piping that gives it even more of a spa-like look.

If a visit to wine country isn't in her near future, a wine delivery is the next best option. Sign her up for a subscription, or pick out a handful of bottles based on her favorite varietals or wine regions.
