With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I wanted to put together a list of things I love and use personally as a mom with a love for the outdoors. These are things that help me get outside more with my kids and just on my own. So if you have a mom or mother figure in your life that also loves getting outside, there is surely something on this list they will love in this list of 35 Mother’s Day Gift Ideas for Outdoorsy Moms!
I have sorted these gifts by price to hopefully cater to any budget. I have also listed the price of the gift next to the name. However, prices of course fluctuate so there is of course a chance the price may rise (or may be even lower!) by the time you read this.

Petzl TIKKINA Headlamp
Petzl TIKKINA Headlamp: A lightweight, bright headlamp should be in every girls arsenal. It’s great for early morning or late hikes, camping, or even car maintenance. I have a few headlamps and the Petzl headlamps are my favorite.
Buff Neck Gaiter
Buff Neck Gaiter: Such a diverse article of clothing. I use a buff year round. It can be worn traditionally around your neck but also as a headband, beanie, cloth to wipe your nose, “oven mitt” for you backpacking pot, so many uses! This one is the CoolNet so it’s intended to wick away sweat and repel bugs.
Car Organizer
Car Organizer: I have a car organizer in the back of my trunk and it makes life with kids so much easier. Throw in anything you might want to have on hand including a change of clothes for your kids, extra diapers and wipes, first aid kit, whatever it is and it’s all contained in one place.
Anker Phone Charger
Anker Phone Charger: Every mom needs a little extra battery when out in the backcountry or on the go. This one is nice and sleek and doesn’t weigh too much.
Kula Cloth Pee Rag
Kula Cloth Pee Rag: A pee rag may seem like a foreign concept to some people, but it’s actually a very functional piece of gear to bring on the trail. It replaces toilet paper (just after you pee) so you don’t have to pack out or bury your tp. It’s also infused with silver so antimicrobial. This is another one of those gifts that someone might not think to buy for themself, but be very happy to have.

Adventure Medical Kit First Aid Kit
Adventure Medical Kit First Aid Kit: A good first aid kit for hiking or backpacking is a great gift and one anyone would appreciate. This one is for 2 people which is probably sufficient if she also likes to hike with her kids.
Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter
Sawyer Squeeze Water Filter: As an avid backpacker, I can say this is a golden gift right here. If the mom in your life wants to start backpacking or being out in the backcountry more, a water filter is crucial. This one is super lightweight and extremely easy to use.
Enso Silicone Ring
Enso Silicone Ring: I have an Enso silicone ring I wear everyday. It replaces my wedding ring and it’s great so I don’t have to worry about losing my real ring but still having that feminine touch out in the backcountry.
Walli Phone Case
Walli Phone Case: Moms are usually carrying around a lot of stuff for other people, it’s nice to have our necessities in one place. I absolutely love this phone case and have been using it for about a year. I love that it can hold up to 3 cards (I always carry my credit card, drivers license, and Costco card) and the finger loop is an absolute necessity since I am always outside taking pictures in precarious spots.

Knockaround Sunglasses: I think most moms would love and use another pair of sunglasses. I love my Knockaround sunglasses. They are cute, polarized, and they keep me from squinting in the sun.
Klymit Luxe Pillow
Klymit Luxe Pillow: A nice pillow when backpacking and camping is the best luxury item (at this point it’s a must for me). This one is inflatable but also has a soft cover so it doesn’t feel like you’re sleeping on a cold balloon.

Stanley 30oz Tumber: Every mom should be hydrating and this tumbler makes it easy to bring on the go. It has a large handle, is virtually leakproof, and keeps water cold for hours.

Mixhers HerTime Hormonal Drink Mix: Mixhers are powder supplements to be mixed in your water made for women by women. They have so many and have so many amazing benefits. Some of my favorites are HerGreens (greens supplement), HerMulti (vitamin supplement), HerHydration (electrolytes), HerPower (Caffeine-free pick me up). HerTime is also a great one for PMS support but is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women.

Klymit Insulated Sleeping Pad
Klymit Insulated Sleeping Pad: You will not find a sleeping pad that is this good for this price anywhere else. I have had this pad for years. It is insulated, thick, and wide, but it’s not crazy big and heavy so I use it for backpacking.
Teva Re Ember Moc Camp Shoes
Teva Re Ember Moc Camp Shoes: The best camp shoe! These are lightly insulated so they keep your feet warm, they have a sole so they are meant to be warm outside, and the back is designed to fold down so you can easily slip them on.
Osprey Daylite Plus Hiking Pack
Osprey Daylite Plus Hiking Pack: You can never have too many hiking packs. This Osprey pack is perfect for a day hike. It doesn’t have too many bells and whistles which I appreciate since I just need something to hold my stuff. This lightweight pack has a 20L capacity which I find perfect for a day hike.

Fjallraven Kanken Backpack: This backpack is cute and functional. I have used it for a work backpack, my personal item on the airplane, an overnight bag, a day hiking pack, and a diaper bag.
Calpak Packing Cubes
Calpak Packing Cubes: Packing cubes really do help things stay organized when packing, and having cute ones makes it all the better. These are great quality and have held up really well for me.
Grand Trunk Monarch Backpacking Chair
Grand Trunk Monarch Backpacking Chair: Another backpacking luxury item is my camp chair. This 2 leg design is genius because it’s lighter weight and you can rock in it (perfect for rocking little ones too!). I also love it because i can sit up and lean in towards the fire or my stove, or lean back when I want to relax.
Rumpl Blanket
Rumpl Blanket: These puffy blankets are so cozy to wrap up in around the fire. They’re also great to throw over yourself when camping for some extra warmth or wear on those chilly mornings.

Trail Magik Child Carrier: If the mom in your life has a toddler and enjoys hiking, this is for them. The Trail Magik carrier hooks onto most hiking packs (as long as they have load lifters, usually a 30L+ pack) and allows you to carry your little one when they get tired. It’s perfect for backpacking as well to give those tired legs a break.

Blundstone Chelsea Boots
Blundstone Chelsea Boots: These are my most worn boots in the fall and winter.They are leather so weather resistant. They also go with so much and I can even wear them hiking. The perfect all around boot!
I actually have the thermal version. They are waterproof and have a shearling footbed making them even warmer. For either boot I highly recommend sizing up a half size.
Jetboil Flash Backpacking Stove
Jetboil Flash Backpacking Stove: I love my Jetboil stove when backpacking. It boils water in like a minute and they also have models you can cook in (I’m a lazy backpacker and prefer eating things I can just add hot water too). This is perfect if someone you know needs a stove upgrade or they want to start backpacking.
Danner Inquire Chukka Hiking Boots
Danner Inquire Chukka Hiking Boots: These are my newest, and favorite hiking boots! I wear trail runners a lot in the warmer months but in colder months I like to wear a waterproof mid rise boot. There are extremely cute and comfortable. No break in time either which I love!
Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes
Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes: These are not just running shoes, but the most comfortable walking shoes I have ever worn. They are also extremely popular and trendy so they look cute with everything.
Jackery Power Station
Jackery Power Station: This Jackery Power Station comes on every road trip and camping trip we go on. I even use it in my car because the charging outlet doesn’t work. I love it because you can charge everything and anything you need. It really is a handy piece of gear.
YouSwim Swimsuit
YouSwim Swimsuit: This is a perfect swimsuit to gift because it fits 7 sizes. So if you don’t know the exact sizing of the girl in your life, there is a good chance this will fit them. It is my favorite swimsuit because it is cute and comfortable.
