In this post, I will break down my TOP 10 Unique Mother’s Day Gifts for the Outdoor Mom recommendations and why they would make a great gift for the mother figure in your life. So, let’s go beyond a bouquet and a gift card this year and get Mom hooked up for her next outdoor adventure!
List Of 10 Unique Mother’s Day Gifts For The Outdoor Mom
The Explorer’s Ultimate Sandal
If you have done any kayaking, you know that your feet are going to get wet! Have you ever tried to walk in the water with flip-flops or secure them!? On top of that, there’s a good chance you cut your foot open because you don’t know what lurks under the water to step on. With so many color combinations and styles to choose from, THESE Chacos are fit for ANY adventure! They are not only super comfortable but also dry out in a snap. Great for a long Florida hike or a long weekend camping. I wear mine all summer long!
A Signature Scent
Elizabeth W Magnolia is MY signature scent! With hints of sandalwood, white magnolia petals, and gardenia, this luscious perfume is a dream. Designed to blend with the body’s natural chemistry, it becomes uniquely yours. This perfume is perfect for that adventurous mom to take her from road trip to the hiking trails, mountain biking, and everything in between.
Take Mom on an adventure this year…
Go Adventure & Smell The Orange Blossoms
I love a great candle when we are out exploring. The warmth of the glow makes wherever we have pitched our tent feel like a home away from home. My favorite is to place THIS candle on a picnic table, sit back with a glass of wine, and enjoy the campfire. Being a Florida Native Girl, my favorite is of course “Orange Blossom.” This Eco-Friendly, slow-burning romantic scent is made with natural ingredients and a 100% coconut wax blend that allows a clean slow burn. What we love most about this candle is that it’s vegan and no animal testing was performed! Made in small batches, this cute 9 oz candle delivers 55 hours of burn time and is the perfect size to pack. It’s the best way to relax after a couple of long hikes.
It’s 5 o’clock Somewhere…
Lose the stem keep the cool! The Corkcicle. 12 oz wine tumbler, made of durable stainless steel, is my beach and camping go-to tumbler in cotton candy pink! Its cute size comes in an array of colors if pink isn’t your jam and takes up very little storage space in my bag. The slider lid stays put and doesn’t spill my beverage when knocked over. It’s a great option for outdoorsy gifts that can be enjoyed year-round whether you are out exploring or relaxing at home! This is why the Corkcicle Wine Tumbler made our top list of unique things to gift Mom this year!
The Perfect Bag
Adventure loving moms need a great bag! One that can take them from the campground to the beach & everything inbetween. That’s why i LOVE this bag. Made of neoprene, THIS bag is supreme. With two large deep inside pockets and comfy shoulder straps, we pack this for short weekend trips or day trips to the beach. It has also made many appearances at the farmer’s market! With plenty of colors to choose from, this bag quickly became a game changer and perfect for outdoor activities.
Coffee Lover’s Rejoice!
One of the greatest pleasures when out exploring, is coffee. A hot, strong, robust cup of Joe. This Stanley camp pour-over set makes grabbing a cup of coffee a snap. Paired with a Stanley Mug that can double as a drinking glass as well, this will up your coffee game and is a perfect way to get Mom one of the best outdoor gifts she will truly love.
BONUS…this Stanley Pour Over Camp Set is a MUST during our Florida hurricane season!
The Perfect Blanket/Towel
Beyond the beach, this versatile Sand Cloud Turkish blanket can be used in so many different ways. At camp or on a picnic, it makes a great tablecloth. At the beach, you can sit on it as a beach blanket, use it as a sarong to cover up, a scarf, the list goes on. Because of the knit pattern, dirt just rolls off & it packs light and takes up very little space. The Sand Cloud Towel is a great addition for adventure-loving moms.
The Adventurer’s Toiletry Tote
If I could choose ONLY one cool gift idea off this list, it would be this! Here’s why. This hanging toiletry bag game changes our travel. I hang this baby up in my bathroom, grab my FULL-SIZE plastic bottles of whatever, and they fit! No more filling tiny little tubes to take with us! With loads of room and pockets to fill, this also folds up to a perfect packable size. I hang this in our tent for easy access and it’s a life-saver in a State Park bathroom. Hands down, it will be a favorite of ALL Mother’s Day gifts.
A FABULOUS FOLDABLE HAT
Being a Florida Girl, I LOVE a cute hat! The sun is brutal here Ya’ll! This cutie has a ponytail top and a wide brim, and is a dream. Roll her up and pack it in the cute bag above with your Sand Cloud & a Nomadix towel, and you are ready for that next adventure. This wide-brimmed straw hat makes a great gift for the nature-loving moms, beach moms, and is also perfect for the fishing mom.
Looking for more shopping fun!?
A COMFY ALL- SEASON BLANKET
There are a few things I require when sleeping in a tent. One, a good quality camp cot. Two, a super thick memory foam cot pad. Three, a cozy all-season blanket. Enter the Rumple. As blankets go, this is the Rolls Royce of the outdoor blankets. Here’s the thing though…in the winter, it supplements my sleeping bag and retains warmth. In the warmer months, is cools my body down. It’s voodoo magic I swear and worth every dime! I’m cheap and have bought the knock-offs and wondered why I blew the cash! It’s one of those big-ticket items you will not regret.
No more soggy towels on your outdoor adventures! Let me introduce you to the BEST sand free towel out there. It is super soft, comes in cute patterns, and dries in ten minutes. This Nomadix towel will change your outdoor game! It rolls very small, so you are able to store it in your wetbag out on the water or tucked away in your beach bag. Another great feature we love is the convenient loop perfect for hanging in a camp shower or on a trail. We have also been known to hang it from the jeep as we cruise to the next location. GRAB this towel!
