Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re looking for the perfect gift for your outdoorsy mom, mother-in-law, grandma or woman who has impacted your life, now is the perfect time to find something meaningful and memorable.
This year, I put together a list with some of my favorite finds — a mix of adventure-ready gear, cozy self-care essentials, and a few fun upgrades that any mom would love. I wanted to round up gifts that feel personal and actually get used.
I’ve tried to include items at a variety of price points, because a meaningful gift doesn’t have to be over-the-top. And don’t forget — a handwritten card, a thrifted gem, or an inside joke can make any gift even more special!

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas:
Selfie Stick Tripod: This is the tripod I use to make all of my content I share on social media. Perfect for snapping family photos without the awkward balancing act and making sure Mom is in photos! Compact, lightweight, and super easy to use. It comes with a remote that makes getting a whole group photo that much easier.
Heating Pad for Neck and Shoulders and Back: I think most moms can relate to sore shoulders from holding babies, nursing, carrying heavy toddlers, and just working all day long. Perfect for post-workout recovery or just winding down at the end of the day.
NEMO Equipment Tensor Trail Ultralight Insulated Sleeping Pad: This is hands down my favorite backpacking pad I’ve ever used. For the girl who loves camping and backpacking — cozy, lightweight, and actually warm! Nemo is a great brand, and having an insulated sleeping pad can make a big difference for colder camping nights. A gift she’ll use again and again!
Collapsible Water Filter Bottle for Hiking: A great piece of gear for all adventures. This water bottle is great because it filters water while you drink, or you can squeeze it into your clean water bottle, and it folds up small when empty. It’s super easy to use and filters water quick. It also had a nice snap cap that goes over the mouth piece that keeps things clean.
Large Toiletry Bag Travel Bag: So much better than juggling little pouches — this spacious, organized bag is a game-changer for travel or gym days. I’ve used to pack toiletry on vacation and have also used it to organize kids gear of vacation. It seriously holds so much!!
Chaco Women’s Sandals: Durable, comfy, and cute — my go-to adventure sandals for hiking, water days, or just running around town. A gift she can dress up or down. I often see these go on sale on Amazon, and you can snag a pair for as little as $70!
Garmin inReach Mini: For the adventurous mom who loves getting off the grid. This tiny satellite communicator offers peace of mind with two-way messaging and GPS. I’ve loved mine, and never leave on an adventure with out it.
Silk Pillowcase: Silk pillowcases help your hair retain moisture and keeps it shiny and healthy. I think everyone should have one, but especially women with curly hair. I adore mine.
Just Ingredients Electrolytes: These are my favorite electrolytes with the cleanest ingredients around. If she’s someone who likes to get outside, electrolytes are great to have on hand to staying hydrated. My favorite flavors are Blue Hawaiian, Tropical Paradise, and Raspberry Lemonade. But the Sample pack is a great gift so they can try out multiple flavors and find which one they like best!

Ring Battery Doorbell: The best upgrade to your home and a easy gift to install since it’s battery powered. I feel so safe knowing we have a camera on our front door, and it’s an affordable first step to ramping up your home security. If you were to install this for an older parent, you can also sync it to your own phone using the Ring app.
Makeup Eraser The Original: My makeup melts off when I use these and they’re reusable, so I can keep them on hand for a long time. It’s an eco friendly option, and such a cute one, too!
Garmin Venu 3S Soft Gold Stainless Steel: A beautiful fitness watch that tracks health stats, workouts, and even stress levels — stylish enough for everyday wear. I like to track my health data and this is my favorite watch to do that with. It gets my steps, my mileage on walks and runs, and even tracks my sleep data. The battery life is great, and you’re able to check your messages and change your music without pulling your phone out of your pocket.
Cosmetic organizer: I use this to organize the little things in my car and keep it in my center console. This is an inexpensive gift that anyone would enjoy and appreciate. You can also fill it will little goodies to make it even more personal.
Amazon Kindle: I absolutely love my Kindle. I love using books to unwind and relax and my Kindle lets me always have a book on hand. It’s nice and lightweight so great to bring when traveling and even backpacking. Capable of holding thousands of book-the ultimate gift for readers.
Remote Control Page Turner for Kindle: For the bookworm moms — turn pages hands-free! Great for Kindle readers or anyone who loves cozying up with a good book.
Thermarest Seat Cushion: Perfect for the mom who loves to hike and backpack! I have loved and used my seat cusion on hundreds of hikes. It’s perfect to sit on when the trail is a little muddy or covered in snow, I have changed many diapers on it, and used it to kneel on when I’m backpacking and getting stuff in and out of my pack.
Philips One by Sonicare Battery Toothbrush: A practical upgrade that moms may not splurge on for themselves but will appreciate every single day. My teeth feel so much cleaner when I use my electric toothbrush so I had to get this travel one and I love it. The two minute timer makes sure I get a quality clean every time.
TULA Skin Care Eye Balm Glow: This is one of my holy grail products. It’s both hydrating and cooling, and gives a nice boost in the morning when I wake up. It’s perfect for my every day skincare, and small enough I can take it with me on all my trips. A great gift for someone who wouldn’t splurge on it for themselves!
Walker Family Bay Bag: This is my perfect mom bag. It holds so much stuff but looks super cute. I love that I can have all the essentials for my kids (diapers, wipes, snacks, toys) and still have room for my stuff. It’s also great if you don’t have your kids with you and you just want a cute bag to hold your book, water bottle, wallet, and other essentials. It’s made with Cordura fabric so it’s also super durable and easy to clean.

Neck Pillow with Eye Mask: Supportive, comfy, and portable — perfect for flights, road trips, or a little car nap. Both my husband and I have one and we don’t head on a trip without it!
Portable Sound Machine: Perfect for travel, naps, or just winding down at home. This little device creates calming background noise wherever you are, helping moms relax and recharge on the go.
Clean Simple Eats Pink Burst Protein Powder: Clean Simple Eats has been my favorite protein powder for years, but their new Pink Burst Clear protein takes the cake. It is fruity, it’s light, it’s perfect mixed with just water, and it really does taste like a pink starburst. It’s the perfect summer drink with 20g of protein.

Sun Hoody: This is my absolute favorite sun hoody. It’s very lightweight and breathable so I don’t feel hot even when I wear it hiking in the summer. Sun shirts are great for hiking, the beach, camping, or anywhere you just want to protect your sun from the skin. It’s so nice to not have to worry about reapplying sunscreen. If you’re looking for a less expensive option, this sun hoody is a great one as well!
Jar Opener: My parents have this in their house and I knew I wanted one in mine. It makes it so easy to open jars and bottles, no matter how tight they are on or their size. It would make a perfect gift for any mom or grandma.
Weighted Vest: A fun way to level up everyday walks, hikes, or workouts. Adds a little extra challenge without being bulky — perfect for the mom who likes to stay active.
HydroJug Traveler: A sleek, super-portable water bottle that keeps drinks cold for hours — ideal for busy days, gym sessions, or running errands without lugging around a giant jug. I find it perfect for long road trips.
Beckham Hotel Collection: These down alternative pillows are just the right amount of softness to be comfortable without sinking down to the mattress. These are the pillows my husband and I use and you’d be surprised how great of a gift a good pillow (and better sleep) is.
Lola Blanket: This is a hands down the best blanket I have ever owned. It’s soft, it’s stretchy, it has the perfect amount of weight to it. I have convinced so many people to get one or give it as gifts. It feels like pure luxury when you’re wrapped up in it.

No matter what you choose, remember that the best Mother’s Day gifts show you notice and appreciate everything your mom (or your wife, sister, or friend!) does. It’s about finding a little something that says, “I was thinking of you”.
And don’t forget — it’s often the simple things like walk together, a homemade brunch, or a long phone call that moms for Mother’s Day can be the most meaningful.
Happy Mother’s Day to all you world changing women!
