Have a mom that loves the outdoors? In case you haven’t noticed, that’s kind of our area of expertise. Here are our top picks for becoming (or cementing) your spot as her favorite child.

1. Great Bear Wax. Co. Candle With Gift Box

So, thanks to pesky annoyances like jobs and bad weather, we can’t all spend as much time outside as we’d like. Help mom bring the outdoors in with Great Bear candles. With scents from Lavender to Campfire, you’ll guarantee she feels at one with nature inside or outside the house. (Great Bear Wax Co. gets bonus points for being locally made in Birmingham, AL.)

2. Outdoor Research Sun Hat

She’s your mom, and you love her. Shield that beautiful face of hers from the sun (and keep her looking sharp) with any one of the stylish wide-brimmed hats from Outdoor Research. Perfect for hiking or a day at the beach, these hats were made to protect Mom from the elements and keep her cool.

3. Birkenstock Sandals

What can we say? Birkenstock sets the bar for outdoor sandals. With oiled leather and soft footbeds, these sandals are perfect for a trek on the trail or a simple grocery store run.

4. United by Blue Magnolia Tote

You’re a good kid, so no under no circumstances can you let your dear mother go the fanny pack route when it comes to storing her must-haves. For a stylish, sleek and sturdy bag meant to hold her essentials for any and all adventures, the United by Blue Magnolia Tote is perfect. It even comes complete with a cross-body strap for changing up how she carries it. Prepare to be smothered in kisses after she opens her presents.

5. Yeti Limited Edition Coral Tundra 35 Cooler

Nearly indestructible (and in a special won’t-last-long shade), this Yeti cooler is perfect for protecting all of Mom’s precious provisions in the great outdoors.

No matter what, there’s no mom quite like your mom. If you still haven’t stumbled upon that perfect gift that screams, “Mom is going to love it!”, we have a few more ideas.

1. Side Stitch Women’s Clothing

From tunics to button-downs to blouses, you’re bound to find a shirt Mom will love for comfort and style from Side Stitch. Classic, bohemian or sophisticated, there’s a Side Stitch for every Mom.

2. Teva Midform Sandals

Another brand that pairs comfort with style, Teva Midform sandals have just the right amount of wedge to be fashionable while also providing the cushioning Mom needs to feel good on her feet all day. She’ll be telling you about the compliments she gets for weeks.

3. Corkcicle Tumblers and Canteens

Before we even begin with all the awesome features of Corkcicle, let’s remember this: the Corkcicle brand was endorsed by the queen herself, Oprah. When Mom opens the box, just say “Oprah,” and any of those times you missed curfew will be automatically forgiven. Choose from a variety of colors and styles, including a wood grain or copper finish.

4. Turkish Towel

There’s the Turkish towel, and then there’s the regular towel, which is a little bit like putting Donna Reed up against Mommie Dearest. As in, there is no comparison. The Turkish towel offers all of the style, comfort and refinement your mother deserves when she’s lounging by the pool or headed to the beach. Thinner that most towels, it rolls up easily for travel and fits nicely inside a bag. So, obviously, you’ll keep this one far away from any wire hangers.

5. Alabama Outdoors Hat

When it comes to any lifestyle, a good baseball-style hat covers three functions: 1) looking good, 2) shielding eyes from the sun and 3) hiding sweaty hair. Mom can do all this (you always knew she was a multi-tasker!) while supporting the family’s favorite outdoors and lifestyle store in the always-classic AO hat. Everybody wins!

Your mom is always on the go. And when she stops moving, it’s only a brief pause before heading out to exercise class or to sneak in a jog. Take care of her the way she’s always taken care of you with these must-haves for the mom that’s constantly busy.

1. On-Running Women’s Cloud Shoes

The best part of these shoes is all in the name. Mom will genuinely feel like she’s walking on a cloud with these incredible, lightweight shoes. (Leave it to the Swiss to create a running shoe that responds to your individual gait while also weighing next to nothing.) Put Mom on Cloud 9 with the On-Running shoes.

2. Que Collapsible Water Bottle
   

She always made sure you ate your vegetables. Now, it’s your turn to take care of her by making sure she is always hydrated for her on-the-go lifestyle. The Que water bottle comes in a wide array of fun colors and collapses so that it can literally go anywhere – from a gym back to a purse to airport security.

3. Manduka Prolite Yoga Mat

Maybe you were an angel. Maybe, well, not so much. Either way, Mom needs some time to center herself and find her inner peace. Enter yoga. With the Prolite Yoga Mat, Mom can honor the divine within her whenever she needs. Namaste y’all.

4. Alo Women’s Leggings

No Mom uniform is complete without a good pair of leggings. For fitness, fun or comfort, Alo leggings go anywhere. With their high-waist design, they are flattering on a variety of figures, and the color selection isn’t too shabby either. Grab a pair for Mom and make her (Mother’s) day.

5. Alabama Outdoors Hat

When it comes to an active lifestyle, a good baseball-style hat covers three functions: 1) looking good, 2) shielding eyes from the sun and 3) hiding sweaty hair. Mom can do all this (you always knew she was a multi-tasker!) while supporting the family’s favorite outdoors and lifestyle store in the always-classic AO hat. Everybody wins!

If you were to take a trip back to one of Richard Scarry’s many classic children’s tales, you’d have to admit your mom is more city mouse than country mouse. Here at Alabama Outdoors, we’ve got that covered, too. For the mom that might consider glamping, but never a night under the stars without plenty of indoor plumbing and mosquito netting, here are our Mother’s Day gift picks.

1. Cia Milano Jackets

There’s no need to choose function over form when it comes to the beautiful designer jackets by Cia Milano. With sleek fabrics and fashionable colors, in addition to practical details like a zip-away hood for rainy days, Mom will love wearing this one to lunch with friends or on a night out.

2. Bussola Women’s Shoes

With sandals, wedges and boots sure to make any fashionista swoon, Bussola is the perfect pick to keep Mom looking sharp. She’ll love the modern styles and fun colors (like metallics!). You’ll love knowing she’ll never write you out of the will.

3. Joe’s Jeans

You care about your mom, and because you care, you’ll never let her fall prey to Mom jeans. Forget awkward pleats or unflattering silhouettes when it comes to Joe’s Jeans. With just the right amount of stretch and an array of delightful washes to choose from, Mother Dearest has never looked better.

4. Alo Women’s Leggings

No Mom uniform is complete without a good pair of leggings. For fitness, fun or comfort, Alo leggings go anywhere. With their high-waist design, they are flattering on a variety of figures, and the color selection isn’t too shabby either. Grab a pair for Mom and make her (Mother’s) day.

5. Turkish Towel

There’s the Turkish towel, and then there’s the regular towel, which is a little bit like putting Donna Reed up against Mommie Dearest. As in, there is no comparison.
