This year, consider honoring your mother with a gift that speaks to her passion for exploration, specifically to warm-weather littoral destinations. The following present ideas are for women who find serenity in the sand and are enthused by seafront-themed possessions. From oceanside art to coastal cocktails to footwear perfect for beach combing, here are ten shore-inspired gifts for moms who love to travel.
For a unique piece of art that will remind your mom of ocean waves, the salt in her hair, and the thrill of surfing, surprise her with a hand-painted, carved wood surfboard from Studio Pacific, home to one-of-a kind designs. This piece will revivify her bedroom or living space and be something to talk about for years to come.
Celebrate Mom with a Special Toast
Spring florals have inspired a new cocktail kit, created by Pink House Alchemy, designed with Mother’s Day in mind. Savor the Bee’s Knees Cocktail—which includes a 16 ounce bottle of lavender syrup, honeysuckle bitters, dehydrated lemon slices for a garnish, bee pollen-lavender rimming sugar, a botanical greeting card, and a recipe card—with your mother, in person or during a special tropical-themed virtual meeting. The drink can be a mocktail or add vodka or gin for an extra kick.
Take Your Mom on a Picnic
Klean Kanteen, leaders in reusable stainless steel food canisters and drinkware, makes insulated bottles in a variety of colors (black, blue, green, pink, purple, red, teal, yellow, white or silver) and sizes (8—64 ounces). Choose your mom’s favorite hue and add it to a mother’s day seaside picnic basket to share together. She’ll love spending time with you outside.
Give a Gift that Gives Back
Newly Climate Neutral Certified, Forsake is committed to reducing their impact in measurable ways. The Thatcher Low WP shoe, which comes in tan or black and tan, is a comfortable waterproof option for a mom who loves to explore coastal areas and needs a little traction and stability in her footwear when searching for shells, coral, or other special beach finds.
Celebrate an Active Mom
Moms who move in the outdoors need clothing that can stand up to the task, especially if they love to travel or spend time at the beach. The Alana Jogger, made by prAna, is springy, hard-wearing, breathable, and quick-drying. This will definitely be your mom’s go-to style choice. Bonus: this fabric, UPF 50+, will keep her safe from the sun too.
Support Her Love of the Ocean
Get your mom a custom necklace, designed in Santa Barbara, California, where you can spell out the word “Beach”, “Sand”, or “Ocean” with tiny golden letters. Tough as a Mother makes beautifully simple pieces that your mom will adore, especially when she finds out that you picked the letters all by yourself.
Treat Your Mom: Sweets with a Twist
Plant based ice cream, from Revolution Gelato, is just the thing to treat your mom with a healthier alternative. Whether she’s cooling off on the sand, or enjoying it at home, she’ll love the mini pies and pints, with a variety of yummy flavors, shipped straight to her door.
Give Your Mom the Hoodie to Eclipse All Hoodies
Built to last for a long time, the form-fitting Chrome Women’s Merino Wool Cobra 3.0 will keep your mom warm on breezy days when an extra layer is needed. Made from an odor-resistant merino wool fabric blend with polyester, this practical item will be much appreciated this Mother’s Day.
Keep Her Charged
Useful, outdoor-oriented, and lightweight, the BioLite Charge 40 PD will power your mom’s phone, tablet, or other devices when she’s out and about exploring the great beyond. Whether she’s hiking along the shoreline or camping near the beach, she’ll need a portable power bank that is heavy-duty and long-lasting. BioLite also makes well-reviewed fire pits, camp stoves, solar panels, and headlamps.
Book a Beach Trip
When your mom is ready to travel once again, treat her with a few days away to a beach-y destination. The newly opened Garza Blanca Resort & Spa Cancun, a modern oceanfront resort perfectly situated on Playa Mujeres beach, just 30 minutes from Cancun International Airport, is just the trip your mom has been waiting for. Book a four-bedroom penthouse suite that can accommodate your whole family in one 5,300 square-foot space or invite your father to go along for a couples-only vacation with your mother and have them stay in a one-bedroom suite. They can pick from wellness-derived activities, like yoga, paddle boarding, and spa treatments, and enjoy delectable meals on the property.
