Gift Ideas for Adventure Seeking Women for All Budgets
Noise Canceling Earphones
From one traveler extraordinaire to another, I am recommending two noise cancelling earphone options.
The AirPods Pro (affiliate) earbuds pair seamlessly with an iPhone if the adventure seeking women in your life are Apple products users.
These earphones also have the benefit of being small and lightweight. Perfect for any day of celebration. Don’t forget the AirPods Pro Silicone Carrying Case(affiliate).
The benefit to the Bose QuietComfort 20 Acoustic Noise Cancelling Headphones(affiliate) is that they are corded and offer less chances of falling out of an adventure seeker’s ears and getting lost as she sleeps on an airplane. Also, you can plug into the plane’s onboard system to watch movies or listen to music.
Luggage
Lightweight Samsonite Luggage(affiliate) is always a great option for travel especially if you are having to lift the luggage overhead to store in airplane storage bins, onto trains, or up flights of stairs when the Airbnb you have chosen has no elevator.
The North Face Recon Backpack for Adventure Seeking Women
I love this carry-on Backpack(affiliate) designed specifically for women and moms. It has a variety of features:
- a padded laptop or iPad (affiliate) section
- a large middle section for my camera insert (affiliate)
- lots of pockets
- expandable side pockets for a water bottle, easily accessible hand sanitizer, and Blistex (affiliates)
- a mesh front pocket
- a sternum strap
- a waist belt
Travelon Carry-on
If the adventure seeking women in your life would enjoy something a little more classy and stylish yet functional, try the Travelon Heritage Tote(affiliate). It features a zippered RFID pocket, cut resistant handles, and numerous pockets and abundant space.
PCA Sunscreen
For all adventure seeking women (and men) whether you are traveling or at home, I recommend the PCA Skin Active Broad Spectrum SPF 45(affiliate) sunscreen with zinc oxide. This sunscreen is sweat and water resistant and is an everyday essential. I’ve got my whole family, my husband included, hooked on this stuff. And it works brilliantly to protect beautiful faces.
Canon 6d Mark II Camera
Because I am one of those adventure seeking women who is all about taking pictures when I travel, my Canon 6d Mark II (affiliate) camera, lenses(affiliate) and accessories are perfect to bring along on vacation.
Is your mom, girlfriend, sister, or friend new to photography? Encourage them to travel lightly with an iPhone(affiliate) (they take some pretty tremendous pictures) or start with the Canon T8i DSLR(affiliate) for a little more control of their pictures.
I would also recommend that she check out my photography mentor, Audrey Ann at Live Snap Love. If all of your adventure seeking women friends want to UP their photography game, have them check out Audrey’s courses!
And look at crazy me! My camera in one hand and my Cell Phone(affiliate) in the other poised to take pictures. I have to jump in some pictures just so people know I was on vacation too!
Travelon Passport Wallet RFID for Adventure Seeking Women
The Travelon Passport Wallet with RFID(affiliate) is perfect for securely storing a passport, credit cards, and a little extra cash.
Portable Charger
Does your mom use a cell phone(affiliate) throughout the day on vacation (or even in the car pool lane) for taking photos, getting directions, checking maps, figuring out transportation, or researching on the internet, suggest she pack a Portable Charger (affiliate) so she can recharge her phone when needed. If Mom is using her phone for all of those activities, she will most likely use up her phone battery before the end of the day.
And…remind her to remember to pack all of the necessary charging cables.
Amazon Gift Card
What could be better than an Amazon Gift Card(affiliate) for the adventure seeking women? They get to choose exactly what they need for travel or photography, and you get the kudos.
If you (or your mom) don’t already have Amazon Prime (affiliate), try it out. The perks include FREE two-day shipping, being able to instantly stream movies and TV shows, access to books and music and online shopping lists, and more.
Special offer! Try Amazon Prime FREE for 30 days (affiliate)
If you are a student, you can try Amazon Prime for 6 months (affiliate) too!
I love Amazon Prime. Check out some of My Favorite Travel Things 👈 here
iPad
An iPad(affiliate) or tablet is definitely a travel must-have AND an adventure seekers must-have. I use mine for:
- Storing all information related to our vacation—dates, locations, activities, booked flights, hotel, and transportation
- Reviewing in the evening for the next day
- Unwinding or relaxing while reading an eBook
- “Facetiming” with family at home
- Watching a downloaded movie. Check out the options from Amazon Prime Movies (affiliate).
- Journaling throughout vacation
- Blogging on the long flight home
Travel Journal
In order for me to remember all of the events of each day as I travel, I use a Travel Journal to record dates, locations, adventures, mishaps, and funny moments.
Apple Watch for Adventure Seeking Women
Smart watches(affiliate), especially the Apple Watch Series 3 (affiliate) that I wear, come in a variety of shapes, colors, and tracking abilities. Perfect for making sure the family is always on time.
Toss in the Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Cable (affiliate) as well to make sure the watch is charged everyday and ready to go when you are.
Hanging Toiletry Bag
This BagSmart Hanging Toiletry Bag (affiliate) is convenient and organizes essential toiletries. ‘Cause, let’s face it, most adventure seeking women travel with beauty essentials too!
Travel Necklace
Who doesn’t love a little bit of bling? Travel Necklace(affiliate) anyone?
Or how about this Sterling Silver Digital Camera Pendant(affiliate)?
Or just a beautiful Floating Heart Necklace(affiliate), a token of just how much the adventure seeking women in your life mean to you.

Luggage Tags
Adventure seeking women don’t want to spend time looking for their Luggage(affiliate) at Baggage Claim. Help their luggage to stand out from the crowd with these durable yet trendy Metal Luggage Tags(affiliate).
Sunglasses
Won’t the women in your life look stylin’ in a beautiful pair of Sunglasses(affiliate)? With the added benefit of eye protection. Fashion and function all in one!

Thanks for the comment! We could all use a little extra love.
I love the AirPod pro. They are so easy to use. I need another pair. One of mine got lost.

Great ideas! Mother’s Day always sneaks up on me. I hope I get the noise canceling headphones. 🙂
such great ideas and inspiration!! really helpful, especially with mothersday coming up in a few weeks
I’m glad that you like the list.
Firstly, thanks for reminding me it’s nearly mother’s day! You’ve also given me some useful ideas. Thanks
Can’t forget Mom!
Airbnb gift card! I didn’t know that exists but I have a few people this would be good for!
I know. I didn’t realize it was such a thing either until I went searching.
Great gift guide! Nice ideas! Thank you for sharing!
These are such great suggestions! I have continued traveling during the past year, but I did have to cancel my trip to London. But hopefully next year! Until them I am enjoying seeing the US and all its beauty!
These are all things I’d love to get if I were a mom! My stepdad texted me that my mom wanted a glass kettle this year so that’s what I got her.
Send this list to your kids!
I think the rhino journal and the AirPod case (in that pretty muted teal) are my favorites! The hanging toiletry bag is super handy as well. Thanks for your careful attention in curating this list!
Thanks for checking it out. I love my AirPod case.
Your idea of sharing travel-inspired gifts just prior to Mothers Day this year is just fabulously timed, now that vaccinations for Covid are happening and travel will be opening up again soon. I love the selection you have included here and it really does get me quite excited to think we could be jetting off somewhere again shortly. Any Mom would be keen to receive a gift that prompts you to start planning some exciting travel destination again!
Fingers crossed we can use all of those travel gifts soon.
Great suggestions! I’m definitely keeping these in mind
Hope it is a happy mother’s day!
These are some great suggestions! I really like the hanging toiletry bag. They are so helpful during travel. They would even work well for keeping all of your chargers in one place!
Especially when space is limited. And making sure you have all of the necessary chargers is key.
Fantastic list…as usual! Love the AirBnB gift card idea. What says ‘adventure awaits’ more than that?
I love that-adventure awaits. Let’s cross our fingers for a few adventures in the months to come.
Great ideas! I can totally see my mom wanting some of these items (and I want some too!). Thanks for rounding up some ideas for Mother’s Day! There’s nothing like Mom.
Add them to your wish list!
Noise canceling ear phones for the win! And I really don’t know any moms who don’t appreciate nice new luggage. It sounds like these gifts are planting seeds to help a mom go on a much needed vacation! Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Wouldn’t we all love a vacation right about now?
These are great gift ideas! I laughed at your list at the beginning, because I’m feeling like “Safety Enforcer” has become my primary job as of late.
At certain points in life, safety enforcer is definitely a full time job. Happy Mother’s Day to you.
love that Northface backpack and now I want it for myself! haha
I love the female versions. It is my go-to backpack for all of my adventures. My husband likes his regular version as well.
Very thoughtful gift ideas!
Glad you like them.
How fun! I love that a lot of these are really useful items, and not just mom-themed clutter. These are so great for any mom who loves traveling, especially the travel journal – so cute.
Thanks. Just say no to mom-themed clutter. I love that you call it that!
Great gift ideas!! Love this!
Thanks!
A camera, portable charger and journal are top of my list. What an amazing list that you put together. Thank you!
Thanks. All must haves on my travel list.
