The Ultimate Mother’s Day Gift Guide For Moms that Camp

April 5, 2022

In reality, Mother’s Day shouldn’t just be once a year. Mother’s Day should really be every day. This is the woman who brought you into this world and/or the woman who raised you to be the person you are today. Your mother (or motherly figure) is unlike any other person in your life. Mothers have the power to make you feel better when you’re down; they’re oftentimes the first ones we call when something goes wrong because somehow, mothers make everything seem okay.

Doesn’t that kind of love and support deserve a great gift? We sure think so. And if your mother is an outdoor-loving kind of woman, then you are in the right place because we have some great gift ideas to make her Mother’s Day one for the books.

So, plan a cute day for your mom that showers her with all the love she deserves, and put the cherry on top by getting her one of these great gifts below.

What To Get Your Mom For Mother’s Day in 2022

Toddy Cold Brew Staycation Edition

One of the reasons that mothers can do all they do is thanks to the fact that coffee fuels their life. Coffee runs through the veins of nearly every mom out there, so why not give her a way to get delicious coffee every day from the comfort and ease of her own home? The perfect way to do this is with the Toddy Cold Brew Staycation Edition. You’re likely familiar with cold brew coffee and Toddy is the leader of this industry. This specific kit features the famous Toddy Cold Brew System that works as a non-electrical coffee maker to create the concentrate that serves as the best wake-up call your mother could ask for. No longer will she have to drive to the nearest coffee spot to get her cold brew – she can make it on Sunday night with this system and store it in the fridge to last her through the whole week. She can also make it ahead of time to take with her on her next camping trip so that she doesn’t have to endure another morning of cowboy coffee.

Included in this kit is everything you need: paper filter bags, extra felt filters, a stopper, a glass decanter, and a lid. Your mom will also feel safe and healthy knowing that the system is BPA-free. This kit has all she needs to get that cup of joe that can fuel her through anything that comes her way.

Oggi Stainless Steel Mug

Once your mom has the delicious coffee she made with her Toddy Cold Brew System, she just needs the perfect mug to drink it out of. And we’ve found just the one. It’s this stainless steel mug from Oggi. It is vacuum-sealed and insulated so that when she puts her coffee in there, it will stay warm for a long time. If she’d rather fill it with a cocktail than coffee, this mug works great for that, too, and will keep her iced drinks cold so that she can enjoy the fresh taste. Our favorite thing about this mug is that it has a handle, which makes it easy to hold onto and use. The lid is also a great bonus that has a slider so that you can keep the contents of the mug at the proper temperature when not taking a sip. This makes for the perfect camping mug that you can keep with you at camp or when you head out on an adventure. Just make sure you tell your mom to keep this one out of the dishwasher and wash it by hand.

Giantex Portable Hammock

It seems that there are few things mothers enjoy more than relaxing in peace and quiet with a book in hand. Oh yeah, and a comfy place to do said relaxing. Bonus points if that place is out in the wild where your mom feels most like herself.

You can make all of the above possible by gifting her this portable hammock. This hammock is ideal for her camping adventures because it is both foldable and portable. It comes with a carry bag that makes for easy and lightweight transportation that is super convenient.

Just because this thing is lightweight does not mean it isn’t sturdy. In fact, this hammock is built out of high-quality steel and is built to withstand rust and bad weather. Not to mention, the fabric this hammock is made out of is built to last.

With just a few parts that come included with the hammock, you’ll be able to put this thing together in no time, giving your mom maximum time to enjoy her book in peace.

Camp Casual Mug

You’d be hard-pressed to find a mom out there who doesn’t live off of coffee. It is a way of life for mothers, so you know you’ll never go wrong in getting her a mug to make her coffee drinking that much more enjoyable for her.

Even better when that mug is covered in all things camping, like this mug from Camp Casual. Whether she’s out in the woods enjoying her camping, or anxiously awaiting her next camping trip, she’ll love drinking her morning cup of joe out of this festive mug.

This ceramic mug is both dishwasher and microwave safe, so it has the ability to withstand a lot of wear and tear and love from your mother.

It features recipes that will make your mouth water by just reading about them, and by the time she creates them in real life, she’ll be foaming at the mouth. It covers unique recipes from bootstrap bibimbap to s’mores ideas that don’t exist in your wildest dreams. The best part about this book is that it not only has recipes, but also drawings, stories, and camping tips in it too.

It’s machine-washable and dries in no time, making it ideal for moms who have kids in tow. Plus, the pattern options are too cute to pass up.

CATCH:3 Wireless Charger

If your mom loves the outdoors, chances are good that she relies heavily upon her phone when she’s out adventuring. It serves as her camera, her GPS, her Weather Channel, her jukebox, and more. So, you want to make sure that she has the power she needs to keep her phone charged and ready for anything. The best and easiest way to do that is with the CATCH:3 Wireless Charger from Courant. It serves not only as a quick and accessible way for her to charge her phone, but also as an accessory tray so she can keep any other thing she needs nearby (things like glasses, sunglasses, car keys, headphones, and more). This device is sleek, simple, and chic which makes it the perfect double-use charger for home and while camping. It features 3 coils for faster charging as well as a USB-A port so she can plug in additional devices if needed. If you want to make this gift even more special, you can have it monogrammed with her initials.

And these aren’t just any string lights – they have mobile charging abilities and can last up to 20 hours on a single charge.

If your mom is a lover of the outdoors, then she shouldn’t embark on any adventure without a hydration system to give her body all the water it needs. This pack from Gregory provides a convenient and stylish way for her to stay hydrated. It allows her to pack 24 ounces of water into a reservoir that features an inline hose for quick and easy access to water. The bag itself has a 3D foam backpanel that will ensure that she stays as comfortable as possible while carrying even water to get her through her adventures. This padding also allows air to still flow through so she stays dry when the weather gets hot and sweaty. We also love that it has a top pocket that can be easily accessed and has room to store snacks, keys, sunscreen, a phone, and any other small things your mom wants to take hiking with her.

Outdoor Research Apollo Jacket

Moms are always in need of a jacket that is for those days where it’s a little too cold without one, and but a little too warm for a big coat. That’s where this Apollo Jacket from Outdoor Research swoops in to save the day. Outdoor Research is known for its high-quality wear, and this jacket is no exception, and at an affordable price, too. This rain jacket will keep your mom warm and dry if she finds herself in a rainstorm while out adventuring, and will also help to keep her warm if the wind decides to pick up while she’s out on a hike. And if things start to get a little hot, she can open up the pit zips to stay dry. Our favorite part? The fact that the left pocket on this coat doubles as a stuff sack, making this jacket super easy to pack away when it’s not needed and easy to bring out on a rainy day. The fit of this jacket is slimming and form-fitting while still being comfortable, so it will let your mom feel her best and look her best, while getting all the function out of the jacket she needs, too.

Outside the bag is waterproof with a 70D ripstop exterior, and inside she’ll love having the expandable pocket that can separate her dirty clothes and shoes from the clean ones.
