The beauty of nature is unparalleled and if you’ve got a mom or mother figure who feels the same and loves immersing herself in the wilderness, then read on.

We’ve put together a comprehensive guide of thoughtful gifts that will make your mom’s next outdoor experience even better than usual.
So, let’s celebrate the fearless, adventurous, and nature-loving mothers with some great gifts.
What To Get Your Mom For Mother’s Day in 2024
KODAK Wireless Mobile Photo Mini Color Printer
If you’ve got one of those moms who is always snapping photos, chances are good her phone album is full of shots she loves. But chances are also good that she rarely sees those shots as they get lost deeper and deeper into her camera roll.
Give her a way to enjoy her memories in the great outdoors and other special moments beyond her phone. Our favorite way to do this is with the KODAK Wireless Mobile Photo Mini Color Printer.
This wireless printer is easy to use and will make those memorable captures tangible in a matter of moments. All she has to do is wirelessly connect her phone to the printer and voila! She’s got her photos.
This printer comes with printer paper to get her going and a USB charging cable so she can charge it on the go.
Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Socks
Just because your mom loves the outdoors doesn’t mean she needs to sacrifice comfort.
A small (yet mighty) comfort you can gift her this year is a pair of the famous Barefoot Dreams CozyChic Socks. These may be the softest things she ever puts on her feet.
After a day of adventuring out in nature, few things will feel better to your mom than coming back to a warm pair of these. Regardless of whether it’s summer or winter, these socks are the perfect thing to come home to.
Maybe consider getting her two pairs – one for her camping and another to keep at home. Made primarily of polyester with a bit of Spandex, these can be tossed in the washing machine quickly and easily to clean after wearing.
APL TechLoom Zipline Shoes
Does your mom live for exploring trails or hitting the pavement for a jog? Give her a gift that keeps on giving to her adventurous life with these APL TechLoom Zipline shoes.
Known for their performance, comfort, and style, your mom’s adventure game is about to get a whole lot stronger.
Why are these shoes so loved? Because they are solid and durable but manage to still be breathable and lightweight. This means that her feet won’t get overheated on the long hikes, and will keep her feet comfortable the whole way, too. The midsole provides tip-top support so your mom keeps her balance and makes good time on the trails. That’s thanks to the midsole’s design that features a slanted plate, helping encourage your mom’s forward motions.
Add in the sockliner, and you’ve got a shoe that feels like luxury but can withstand the ruggedness of your mom’s adventures.
Choose from a variety of different colors to find the one that best suits your mom’s personality.
We’re Not Really Strangers Game | Family Edition
We’re willing to bet that your mom enjoys connecting with the people in her family. That’s one of the things we love about moms the most.
Help her out with this, and make it even more fun in the process by gifting her this iconic game. We’re Not Really Strangers took the internet by storm a few years ago with its original game that offers questions that connect and help you really get to know one another.
Since the first game, they’ve come out with other versions, including the Family Edition. This gives you questions to ask with your family that’ll spark some great conversation.
Questions include things like:
- “If our family had a Netflix series, what would it be called?”
- “In what ways are you like the people who raised you?”
You start the game with more lighthearted questions and as you move on, they go deeper and deeper, giving you a chance to connect more and more.
Sound like something your mom would love? We thought so.
Skims Soft Lounge Sleep Set
No one deserves a cozy and luxurious set of pajamas more than your mother.
Give her a cozy upgrade to her campside comfort by gifting her the Skims Soft Lounge Sleep Set. Whether she’s nestled in her sleeping bag or in her bed, she’ll love the soft, modal ribbed fabric that is both lightweight and comfortable.
For the more chilly camping adventures, she can easily layer this set to maximize her warmth and comfort. Easy to pack, this set will take up minimal space in her camping bag, leaving room for the other necessities for her to have the best time in nature.
Available in black and other colors, this gift is perfect for moms who love spending time outdoors but also like a little bit of luxury in their lives.
Glasshouse Car Diffuser
Camping means time in the car, and your mom deserves to enjoy that time in the car. From feeling relaxed, to having great music, even down to how the car smells.
This is especially true is the car is packed with kids and camping gear.
Give your mom the gift of good scents with the Glasshouse Car Diffuser.
This sleek, luxurious, and refillable diffuser fits right onto the air vent in her car, where it securely stays and spreads good smells throughout the car.
She can increase the strength of the scent by turning the body of the diffuser clockwise and decrease it by turning it the other way.
This package comes fully ready to install with the metal diffuser as well as the brand’s loved Lost in Amalfi Scent Disk. This scent offers notes of freesia, thyme, tarragon, lavender, moss, musk, and patchouli. Quite the mix for those long road trips!
Terracea Vinda Lightweight Insulated Jacket
As a woman of the outdoors, your mom needs a jacket to keep her warm on her adventures. Whether it’s a cold sunny day or a chilly evening, this insulated jacket from Terracea has got her covered.
Terracea’s jackets are lightweight, water-resistant, and insulated with recycled materials. This makes them ideal for a camping getaway, and also for use at home.
Your mom can feel even better about this gift knowing that Terracea is committed to sustainability and uses recycled fabrics whenever they can. The brand is a member of 1% For the Planet. On top of that, the garment bag the jacket comes in doubles as a way to donate her gently used coats that are ready for someone else to enjoy.
Let your mom enjoy the benefits of the outdoors without the chill to slow her down.
Nodpod Weighted Sleep Mask
Even the most seasoned of outdoor lovers can find it difficult to sleep while camping. Your mom goes camping to enjoy nature, but chances are good the sun wakes her up a little earlier than she would like sometimes.
Solve that problem for her with the Nodpod Weighted Sleep Mask. This award-winning mask is unlike any other. In fact, it’s actually referred to as a blanket for your eyes. Talk about dreamy!
Your mom is about to get the best sleep of her life.
So what makes this mask different? For starters, it has a strap-free design that equally distributes the mask’s powerful deep-touch pressure. It does this across your face’s key pressure points. Doing this helps calm your mom’s overworking mind, helps soothe her headaches, and sends her off to deep restful sleep.
This is about to become her favorite camping accessory. And the great news is that it’s easy to pack and can also be enjoyed at home.
Cometeer Coffee Mixed Roast Box
No camping trip is complete without coffee. We know your mom agrees.
Simplify her camping coffee routine with the Cometeer Coffee Gift Box. Rather than fussing with cowboy coffee over the fire, your mom will enjoy the convenience of flash-frozen coffee pods that only require hot water. You read that right – all she’ll need is hot water and one of these pods to pop into her favorite camping mug. No electricity is needed. How cool is that?
Each pod is brewed from premium beans that will give her barista-quality coffee in mere seconds.
For those mornings when she’s up early and ready for an adventure or when she really wants to have a slow and relaxing morning at camp, the Cometeer coffee pods are there to support her.
This gift box comes complete with a carefully curated mix of light, medium, and dark roasts for the “adventurous palate.”

Is your mom the kind that loves to explore the roads less traveled? Then we’ve got just the book for her that will really get her travel wheels turning: Here Not There: 100 Unexpected Travel Destinations Around the Globe.
This National Geographic guidebook gives alternatives to over-touristed destinations and shares hidden gems that offer experiences just as rich as the places that get the spotlight. Added bonus – oftentimes these destinations don’t make as big of a dent in the wallet, either.
In here she’ll find things like unique road trips through West Virginia’s fall foliage, an art deco skyscraper tour through Detroit, and other unexpected, yet incredible experiences to get her excited.
Give her a way to think outside of the box with her adventures with this book that serves as a beautiful coffee table piece, too!

Is your mom a nature lover who lives for an early morning hike and an evening spent around the campfire? This 1000-piece panoramic puzzle by Brass Monkey will take her there. It features four iconic National Parks that are either on your mom’s bucket list, or are ones she’s already visited: Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Zion, and Lassen Volcanic. And they’re all in the appearance of vintage travel posters.
Whether this puzzle becomes her favorite cozy night-at-home activity or is something she brings with her for a weekend of camping, this is sure to give her a whole lot of joy (and satisfaction too, once she puts that final piece in place).
This puzzle serves as more than just fun, though. It also gives your mom the perfect way to reminisce about past adventures and get her excited for the ones yet to come.
This puzzle comes with a reference guide that doubles as a bonus poster for her to hang and enjoy long after the puzzle is complete.
Skeem Palo Santo Aura Citronella Body Spray
Nature is great and all, but bugs can be a real buzzkill. Keep your mom protected from bites that could put a damper on her outdoor adventures with bug spray. But we aren’t just talking about any ‘ol bug spray – we are talking spray that doubles as a body spray because it smells so good.
This spray from Skeem gives your mom a spritz of luxury with her protection thanks to the palo santa scent. Made from all-natural ingredients, you’ll find this spray packed with citronella oils to keep her safe and the woody scents of palo santo and cedar.
She’ll likely love the smell so much that she’s spraying this on her body even when she’s not in nature!
HydroFlask All Around Travel Tumbler
With all the adventuring she’s got on her calendar this year, one thing is incredibly important: hydration. Staying hydrated is integral to your mom’s overall health, but even more so when she’s wandering in the wild.
But drinking water doesn’t need to be boring. Make it fun by gifting her a stunning HydroFlask Travel Tumbler. This insulated tumbler was made for adventurers like your mom so she can stay hydrated on hikes, during camping trips, or even when she’s just relaxing at home.
The handle on this tumbler makes it easy and convenient to carry around and provides security for her on-the-go travels. The TempShield double-wall insulation means her drink will stay cold for hours, regardless of how hot the temps are outdoors. The flexible straw makes for easy, hands-free drinking, and the coating gives her a chance to show off her favorite color.
She’ll love that this tumbler is BPA-free and dishwasher safe, too, for easy cleaning.
Richer Poorer Recycled Fleece Wide Leg Pants
Pants for camping that also double as great loungewear at home? If this sounds like your mom, then we’ve got the perfect gift for her: Richer Poorer’s Recycled Fleece Wide Leg Pants.
For starters, they’re incredibly soft and comfortable. She’s likely never going to want to take them off. But when she finally decides to, they’re machine washable, so no need for extra special care.
Your mom will enjoy the comfortable and classic fit of these pants with their wide legs and elastic waistband. She can even dress them up at home a bit too. We love a versatile pair of pants, and we think your mom will, too.
These pants also feature pockets for her to store any of the camping accessories she needs within reach.
But the best part about these pants? They are made from recycled materials. We know your mom is a big fan of the environment, so it’ll feel good wearing pants that she knows support the good of the planet.
Ban.do Travel Journal
Oh, the places she’ll go! Your mom is an adventurer with lots of experience under her belt, but even more to come.
It’s easy to lose track of all that she’s seen and done, but that doesn’t have to be the case. With the help of this cute Ban.do Travel Journal, your mom has a place to share and reflect on all of her journeys in the great outdoors.
It features travel-related prompts like:
- Best views
- Best meals
- Best spots
- Funniest moments
And a spot to put in a photo or other memento from the experience. Think of it like a journal/scrapbook for your mom to commemorate all the incredible things she does.
Plus, it’s small enough that’ll be easy for her to tuck into her camping bag without it taking up too much space.
Verve Culture Moroccan Shopping Basket Backpack
Your mom may have the perfect backpack for her rugged days on the trail, but does she have one that has a more fashionable and elevated style that can be used for her more low-key trips? We’ve got the perfect one: this Moroccan Shopping Basket Backpack from Verve Culture.
Handcrafted by artisans in Marrakesh, this backpack is not only beautiful, but highly functional, too! It features a lined interior with a drawstring to keep all of her goodies inside safe. It also has leather handle straps as well as backpack straps so she can carry it however feels more comfortable.
We love the idea of her using this to go to the farmer’s market to grab ingredients for cooking for her camping trips. Or for a picnic day out in the sun. Or to carry her favorite games in for a game day at the campsite.
Your mom will love having this bag to give a little style to her adventures.
Black Wolf Sonic Scalp Scrubber
After a long day out in the wild, your mom will likely want a nice hot shower to clean off all the dirt. But washing the hair is always the hardest and most dreaded part. It takes so long and sometimes the camping showers or the RV shower just isn’t up to par with her shower at home.
Change her hair-washing game while camping (and at home, too) with this Black Wolf Sonic Scalp Scrubber. It takes your average scalp scrubber (which we love) and takes it to a whole new level. It has 3 different speeds of vibration to really get deep into her roots and scalp for a proper cleaning. Even better, those vibrations help to stimulate hair growth, so her hair is getting even healthier every time she uses the scrubber.
The design is ergonomic and small, so she can easily take it with her on her camping trips. Plus, it lasts for hours and is rechargeable when it’s reached its limit.
And, of course, it is water-resistant and safe for her to use in the shower.
KOA Gift Card
What to give your mom who loves camping? Why not more camping? With this gift card, she can plan all kinds of adventures for the upcoming summer and beyond. KOA boasts over 500 campgrounds across North America, so we are willing to bet there’s a spot on her bucket list that has a KOA nearby. Each KOA campground offers a variety of different amenities that serve as the perfect place for your mom to get away from the monotony of everyday life and reconnect with her inner child out in nature. She may even choose to invite you along, which would make for all kinds of great memories.
