She said "don't buy me anything." She meant "nothing that adds to the clutter." Travel is the answer. Here's a Mother's Day travel gift guide with ten ideas across ten price bands.

The guide

  1. $75 — Spa voucher. Enough for a good massage in most cities.
  2. $100 — Coastal lunch. A nice restaurant hotel at the shore.
  3. $150 — Hotel night upgrade. Bump her next trip from standard to suite.
  4. $250 — Weekend in her favorite city. A solo recharge.
  5. $350 — Friends' getaway fund. Toward a weekend with her sister.
  6. $500 — Full weekend. Two nights, nice hotel, somewhere she'd never splurge.
  7. $750 — A week with Dad. Low-key coastal week.
  8. $1,000 — Big birthday milestone. A proper trip.
  9. $1,500 — Solo sabbatical seed. For the "one day I'll…" trip.
  10. $2,500+ — Generational gift. The trip she's always postponed.

The right message

Because you never book it for yourself. Two years to use it, anywhere in the world. When you go, I want a postcard.
