Looking for the perfect gift for a mom out there this Mother’s Day? As an outdoor mom myself (and outdoor gear reviewer), here are five recommendations that are sure to make your loved one smile.
Montem Ultra Light 100% Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles
Hiking moms will love a set of quality hiking poles this Mother’s Day. These 100% carbon fiber poles from Montem are the perfect combination of strength and lightness—just 7.6 ounces per pole!
I love the quality of Montem’s Ultra Light Carbon Fiber Poles, including the easy setup (from 24 inches to 53 inches), the comfortable foam grip, the padded wrist straps, and the overall attractive design.
By shopping at Montem, you’re also supporting a really cool outdoor gear company. The inventor set out to provide a solution to overpriced, low-quality gear by designing gear that works out of the box (and cutting out the middlemen to keep costs down). The company also offers a lifetime warranty on its products.
OGERY Solar Camping String Lights
For camping moms, these solar powered string lights are a fun and exciting way to enhance your camping space. OGERY has thought of everything in its design. The set includes nearly 50 feet of LED lights (!!), 11 lighting modes at all times, and doubles as a portable USB power bank.
Built outdoors, this string light set is waterproof, portable, and very easy to set up and take down. I personally love pendant lights in our camper trailer and outside at the campsite. The mom in your life will appreciate this thoughtful gift that makes every camping trip fun.
Muck Boots – Original Leather Duck Boot and Muckster Lite EVA Clog
I couldn’t choose just one Muck Boots to recommend, so I’m featuring two. Depending on your hobby, one of these designs may cost you more than the other.
First up, we have the Original Leather Duck Boot. For me, these boots are the most comfortable shoes around. They are easy to open and close, they are waterproof and easy to clean, they are flexible and comfortable, and they look great. (There are probably a million other uses for these boots, too!)
Next, for farmers, chicken owners, and all other backyard moms, the Muckster Lite Clogs are the perfect pair of shoes to gift this Mother’s Day. I use mine for chicken chores, watering and tending to my backyard, taking out the trash, and more. They are ridiculously light but also incredibly durable and comfortable to wear. The drainage holes allow the clogs to dry quickly, which is key for dirty jobs.
Aptvis Hydroponics Growing System
I gave this hydroponics grow system to my mom, and she loves it. This indoor garden will appeal to outdoor moms, because it’s like a fast track for your plants. Your loved one will be shocked at how quickly their plants grow in the Aptvis planter, and can then harvest and/or replant in the outdoor garden.
If there’s a mom in your life who loves fresh herbs and vegetables and has little room for objection, a hydroponics growing system is a fun and unique gift. (Don’t forget to pick up organic seeds too!)
Nathan VaporAiress 8L Women’s Hydration Pack
Help the sports mom in your life stay hydrated with Nathan Sports’ VaporAiress 4.0 8-Liter Women’s Hydration Pack. This pack offers a women’s-specific fit—perfect for trail and road runners this Mother’s Day. External toggles around the bottom of the vest allow the wearer to make small adjustments to fit, which will help prevent bouncing as mom runs.
The hydration pack features a 2L Nathan x HydraPak bladder, has 3D mesh for maximum breathability, and has multiple pockets. There is a large zippered area, as well as front mesh pockets, a front zippered area, and an external bungee in the back for extra storage. And I am a fan of the beautiful color purple!
