Baggage tag


Why, you would ask? Well, a baggage tag is meant for avoiding assuming another passenger’s suitcase to be their own at baggage claim. Buy a baggage tag in bright hues, especially made of rubber, to last through seasons.

Earphones

It is an accessory not for the vanity bag, but pretty tough to forgo. And when there are earphones available in the market in myriad prices, colours and designs, there’s no reason to not own one. Gift your mom so she can watch in-flight movies, Netflix on phone, listen to her favourite music or make hands-free calls on the go.
Canvas Tote Bag

Ladies take their airplane eatables and other knick knacks quite seriously. That’s the reason they need one dedicated tote bag to hold all those random belongings. Buy one online or DIY one for your mom following one of the tutorials on Youtube. A tote bag is easy and handy, and can be shoved under the seat or in a corner as required.

Moisturiser


Airplanes tend to make the skin sapped, so the best trick is to stay moisturised while in the air. Buy your traveller mom a rich creamy moisturiser from Body Shop, Kama Ayurveda, or Forest Essentials, as these are made minus harsh chemicals.

Hand sanitizer

We don’t mean just another hand sanitizer for your mommy dearest, but a nicely scented one. Public spaces, whether in India or abroad, are full of germs invisible to the naked eyes, and often, the washrooms lack hand-wash soaps. So, a sweetly scented hand sanitizer is the go-to thing to feel fresh and smell good.
