Best bath ever: When is a bath a luxury experience? When you send mom off to Manchester, Vermont's Kimpton Taconic Hotel where this spring, the mother/daughter honey product team of Michele Beattie and Devon Marcucci, owners and operators of Hazel & Bee Organics ( https://www.hazelandbee.com) have worked with the locale to create elevated escapes centered around their honey products. Mom can check in, dial up the concierge and have them deliver freshly steeped tea along with some raw Vermont honey, a Wild Oat Face mask and a honey oatmeal bath bomb for the ultimate soaking escape. Want to wow her right away? Order product ahead of time and give her a "foreshadow of the fun" basket come Mother's Day. https://www.taconichotel.com

It's in the bag: A good travel bag makes all the difference, and travel moms like them to be practical, efficient, easy-to-handle and yet beautiful. For a great choice, check out Beis Travel Bags, a company dedicated to all that and affordability too. Their Weekender is like Mary Poppin's bag: Looks super cute, fits more than ever makes sense. It hooks onto a roller back for easy dashing through airports, slings over a shoulder with comfort for using on its own, and it stands up to rough and rugged times. Comes in a lovely beige, vibrant berry, pink and classic black. (https://beistravel.com)

Your own travel memories: Did your wanderlust Mom take you to some great spots as you grew up? Why not grab a lovely moleskin journal and jot down your memories. Start now with a few special stories you recall and hand write them (what a treat our own penmanship can be to a mom these days). Then leave pages open for future dreams, and let her know you're looking to fill them – together. Think of it like a charm bracelet of stories and words; linked for her to pull out and and reminisce with any time she chooses. What's better for Mother's Day than past memories and future dreams?
