I went out of town to help my daughter for 2 months last year right after Christmas. My favorite gift I brought along was a new robe and pj's. I also brought only travel size bath and body items so I took up less space in the bathroom.

I like the idea if a basket of nice travel-sized stuff she might need over the four month period.

Nice PJs that she can wear around the friend's house on the weekends. Slippers?

Kindle and a few books preloaded (or a small gift card for them)

Stocking stuffers:
- Some favorite candies or a small gift card to a coffee shop she likes in that town, if she's a coffee person?
- Travel sized hand lotion (that'll be used up in 4 months)

Ha, just realized I should have posted this in Family Relationships. Didn't realize there was a better forum.

Thanks to pp for the cool digital frame idea!

Nixplay. You can upload photos wirelessly to the photo frame and the quality is great.

My mom is going to be away from home for 4 months right after Christmas. Staying at a friend's house while taking care of some work assignments and family stuff. Will be too busy to care about much besides work, and doesn't want to bring items that take space, or return with them either.

She would normally like cookbooks, cooking stuff, decor, personalized items, and clothing from her favorite team.

I feel like the immediacy of the travel throws out all those gift ideas...except sports wear. I am also definitely giving her framed photos of our kid, as she asked for.

What else can I give to her? My budget is 150 max.
