Give Her an Actually Useful Bag

We’ve been writing about Away for years — the brand holds the top spot in our roundups of carry-ons, pieces of rolling luggage, and hard-side cases. If your mom is considering joining the One Bag movement, and longs to travel hand-luggage only, take note.

The Everywhere Bag has multiple interior and exterior pockets (including a separate, padded pocket for her laptop) and a trolley sleeve for seamlessly securing her bag on top of her suitcase (if she decides to go long-haul). Bridgerton author Julia Quinn is also a fan and told us she likes to pair her Everything Bag with the Away Carry-On, explaining that “if you use them together, you can pack an astonishing amount of stuff and still carry on everything.”

And for just an extra $35 you can personalize her new bag with any three letters of your choosing (just make sure to account for an extra one-to-two weeks to embroider and ship).
