Present the traveling mom with a travel organizer wallet that allows her to keep all relevant documents within easy reach and well organized during her travels. Many travels involve crossing borders and the traveling mom must have all passports, visas and other necessary documents ready and organized for bureaucratic procedures. A travel organizer wallet also allows the mother to make sure that she has all needed tickets. If the mother prepares the wallet before her travels and knows in which pouch she'll find each category of paperwork, she can make sure that nothing gets lost.
Purchase a big handbag for the traveling mom. Buy one that has dividers so that she can separate her own items from those of her children. Make sure that it will hold plenty of treats, small games, children's books and other items to occupy the children during the trip. If the mother travels with a baby, the bag must have room to carry pacifiers, diapers and bottles. Whenever possible, the bag should have room for an extra set of clothes for each child or, at the very least, a clean shirt and sweater for each child.
Buy a camera for the traveling mom. The trip with her children may prove difficult but parents love to take candid photos of their children throughout trips. Buy her a small camera that she can use to quickly snap pictures of the children or even short film clips that the family can enjoy and laugh over later.
Give the traveling mom a gift certificate for several hours of babysitting time. Caring for children at any time can prove tedious and test the patience of any parent. Adding on the additional responsibilities of travel may wear the traveling mom out. Give her several hours or more of pre-paid babysitting time to allow her to go out and have a cup of coffee, see a movie, enjoy a spa treatment or simply spend a little time alone.
You can find agencies in many localities that arrange babysitting services. These agencies provide licensed, bonded babysitters who have undergone extensive background checks.
