Mother’s Day is right around the corner and buying the right gift for the person who gave birth to you can be a tough one. Though, if your mom is a mom who hikes, at least you have a general starting point when it comes to finding the right present. To leave your mother pleasantly surprised on this special holiday, turn to one of the gifts on this list.
Moms who hike will want to do it every chance they get. A great gift for any mom is to buy their pass to a national park or state park. This will allow your mom to hike whenever she wants. Of course, offer to go with her on the hikes to spend some time together. This is a gift that really pays for itself, and your mom will love it!
Hikers probably don’t have a need for many materialistic items besides their outdoor gear. However, something your mom can wear on her person all the time will be really nice. The hand engraved compass necklace is an absolutely gorgeous piece that your mom will be excited to wear.
For someone who is so active, your mom could use some relaxation once in awhile. A nice bath is always great, especially after a long hike. The Rocky Mountain Soap company’s Lemongrass Bath Salt is a great gift for your mom on Mother’s Day. Now your mom can feel at ease after her outings. Of course, don’t miss out on tons of other great products that this company sells as well.
If your mom doesn’t only hike domestically, then get her this Psi Bands Wristband. This bracelet not only looks nice, but it will help stimulate your mom’s self curative abilities to keep her healthy when she travels. Tell her to leave the Dramamine at home; she can use this instead.
Your mom can handle anything, and she should have a camera that can keep up with her. The Olympus TG-4 is a rugged camera that is waterproof, dust-proof, freeze-proof, and crush-proof. This is a light point and shoot that functions well in the outdoors. Bonus: Offer to teach your mom how to use it, and this will be a gift she’ll never forget.
After your mom as captured some great photos of her hikes, she might want somewhere or some way to display them. Easycanvasprints.com has an easy way of taking your mom’s favorite photo and creating an awesome arrangement of canvases she can hang on the wall. They’ll look beautiful and she’ll have a story to tell every time someone ask her where the photo was taken (and who got it for her!).
Okay, so maybe a mug for a Mother’s Day gift is a little cliche. But, for moms who hike, get this lovely mug. It says, “The Mountains Are Calling And I Must Go.” Your mom can use it at home or bring it along on her camping trips.
Speaking of camping, it’s always good to have a warm blanket on the ready in case it gets chilly at night. For Mother’s Day, get your mom a personalized fleece-throw that she can use by the campfire. Feel free to get as cheesy with this as you’d like. Add photos of the grandkids, or baby pictures of yourself. Whatever works!
If your mom is outdoors a lot, then she can never use enough lip balm, lotion, natural soap, and foot cream. Go ahead and get her the Burt’s Bees Essential Everyday Beauty Gift Set to keep her skin glowing on and off the trail.
A mom can never have too many clothes, especially if they’re for hiking. Get your mom the”I’d Rather Be Hiking” shirt by Fitcliq, which your mom can wear during her outdoor workouts or when she’s just lounging around the house.
Moms who love to read and love to hike will love the book “UP-A Mother and Daughter’s Peakbagging Adventure “ by Patricia Ellis Herr. Even if you happen to be your mom’s son, it will sure to be a good read that will remind her of the two things she loves most; hiking and her kids. You can always check out other hiking books as well.
If your mama loves showing off the fact that she’s obsessed with the outdoors, then get her the beautiful Mountain Earrings. They’re sterling silver and much nicer and more personal than a typical pair of earrings.
Not sure what to get your hiking mom this Mother’s Day? Surprise her with one of these amazing gifts and bring a smile to her face.
