Montem Ultra Light 100% Carbon Fiber Trekking Poles
Hiking moms will love a set of quality trekking poles this Mother’s Day. These 100% carbon fiber poles from Montem are the perfect combo of strong and lightweight—just 7.6 ounces per pole!
I love the quality of Montem’s Ultra Light Carbon Fiber Poles, including the ease of adjustability (from 24 inches to 53 inches), the comfortable foam grips, the padded wrist straps, and the overall attractive design.
By buying from Montem, you’re also supporting a really cool outdoor gear company. The founder set out to provide the solution to overpriced, low-quality gear by designing gear that actually performs in the outdoors (and taking out the middlemen to keep costs down). The company also offers a lifetime guarantee on its products.
OGERY Solar Camping String Lights
For moms who love to camp, these solar-powered string lights are such a fun and festive way to spruce up your campsite. OGERY has thought of everything with its design. The set includes nearly 50 feet of LED lights (!!), 11 lighting modes for every occasion, and it doubles as a portable USB power bank.
Built for the outdoors, this string light set is waterproof, portable, and very easy to set up and take down. I personally love hanging lights up in our camper trailer and outside around the campsite. The mom in your life will appreciate this thoughtful gift that makes every campout a little more whimsical.
Muck Boots – Originals Leather Duck Boot and Muckster Lite EVA Clog
I couldn’t choose just one pair of Muck Boots to recommend, so I’m including two. Depending on your loved one’s hobbies, one of these designs might call to you more than the other.
First, we have the Originals Leather Duck Boot. For me, these boots are the perfect around-the-campsite shoe. They’re easy to slip on and off, waterproof and easy to clean, flexible and comfortable, and they look good. (There are probably a million other uses for these boots, too!)
Next, for gardeners, chicken owners, and all other moms who have stuff to do in the yard, the Muckster Lite Clogs are the perfect shoe to gift this Mother’s Day. I use mine for chicken chores, watering and tending my backyard garden, taking out the trash, and more. They’re ridiculously lightweight but also incredibly sturdy and comfortable to wear. The drainage holes allow the clogs to dry quickly, which is key for dirty chores.
Aptvis Hydroponics Growing System
I gifted this hydroponics growing system to my own mom, and she is obsessed with it. This indoor garden will appeal to outdoorsy moms, because it’s like a fast track for your plants. Your loved one will be shocked how quickly her plants grow in the Aptvis planter, and then she can harvest and/or replant into an outdoor garden.
If there’s a mom in your life who loves fresh herbs and vegetables and has a bit of counter space to spare, a hydroponics growing system is a fun and unique gift. (Don’t forget to pick up some organic seeds as well!)
Nathan VaporAiress 8L Women’s Hydration Pack
Help the sporty 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 tiny micro-adjustments to the fit, which will help prevent bouncing as mom runs.
The hydration pack includes a 2L Nathan x HydraPak bladder, features 3D mesh for maximum breathability, and has lots of pockets. There’s a main zippered compartment, as well as front mesh pockets, a front zippered compartment, and an external bungee on the back for even more storage. I’m also a fan of the cute purple color!
