Five Star Gift Ideas

For a mom who loves traveling to obscure destinations, there are plenty of unique and thoughtful gift ideas to consider. Here are a few that might resonate:

1. Scratch-off World Map: Help your mom keep track of all the obscure destinations she has been to with a scratch-off world map. This interactive and decorative piece allows her to reveal the countries she has visited and plan her next adventure.

2. Travel Journal: Encourage your mom to document her travel experiences with a personalized travel journal. Look for one with a beautiful cover and ample space for writing, doodling, and pasting pictures. You could even add a personal touch by including a heartfelt note on the first page.

3. Travel Photography Book: If your mom has a passion for photography, consider gifting her a coffee table book featuring breathtaking images from various obscure destinations around the world. It can serve as both inspiration and a visual reminder of her love for travel.

4. Experiential Gift: Instead of a traditional physical gift, consider treating your mom to an experiential gift related to her love for travel. It could be a hot air balloon ride over an exotic location, a guided tour of a lesser-known historical site, or even a cooking class that specializes in cuisine from an obscure destination she's visited.

5. Customized Luggage Tags: Help your mom stand out while traveling with personalized luggage tags that reflect her individuality. Look for tags that can be customized with her initials, favorite quotes, or even a photo from one of her favorite obscure travel destinations.

6. Cultural Artifacts: Seek out unique and authentic artifacts or handicrafts from the obscure destinations your mom has visited. These could include handmade ceramics, textiles, or traditional musical instruments. Not only will these gifts remind her of her travels, but they will also add a touch of culture and art to her home.

7. Travel-themed Subscription Box: Consider subscribing your mom to a travel-themed subscription box that delivers curated items from around the world. These boxes often include snacks, souvenirs, and cultural artifacts specific to certain countries or regions. It's a fun and ongoing way for her to explore obscure destinations from the comfort of home.

Ultimately, the key to finding the perfect gift for your mom is to think about what will bring her joy and capture her love for traveling to obscure destinations. Consider her personal preferences, hobbies, and interests, and aim for a meaningful and thoughtful gift that shows you truly understand and appreciate her passion for exploration.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
