The post 18 Best Mother’s Day Gifts for Mom in 2023 appeared first on Altitude Sports.

]]>

With Mother’s Day 2023 right around the corner, the pressure is on to find the perfect gift. After all, this is the woman that raised you with love throughout your life. Mother’s Day is the chance to show your mom, mother-in-law, or other mother-figure how much you appreciate them. 

The perfect fit for your mom depends on your budget and what your mom likes, so we’ve chosen a wide range of gifts below — from chic sunglasses and bags to durable gear she can use to update the activities she loves doing. Our Mother’s Day Gift Guide contains all our gratitude, and all the best clothing and accessories to lift up outdoorsy moms, from hikers who stop at nothing, to those who draw their strength from Mother Nature.

Our Top Pick: The Crossbody Bag

Product Name

Price: 0.00$

If your mom is the type of person who’s always delighted with a new purse, she’ll love the Matt & Nat Sam Crossbody Bag. It’s versatile, not too big, and has an adjustable strap that makes it perfect for everyday wear. It’s a good size for holding her phone, keys, wallet, and a few extras. Plus, the bag comes in a soft, pebbled material available in a range of beautiful colours. 

Price: 0.00$

Best for socks lovers

Whether she enjoys winter skiing, hiking, or cycling, the cozy Smartwool Performance Hike Light Cushion Crew Socks will put a smile on Mom’s face. Made from merino wool and nylon, they’re durable and warm. She might even end up wearing them around the house, thanks to the fun geometric patterns and super comfortable design.

Best for the camping mom

The beautiful original Puffy blanket can be taken anywhere, from camping to festivals. Made from recycled materials, it's warm, durable, and perfect for moms who love the outdoors.

Price: 0.00$

Brand Name | Product Type

Another great gift idea for Mother's Day! If mom can't get enough of a good cup of coffee to start her day of camping, the GSI Outdoors 8-Cup Percolator will give her just that. It's sophisticated, extremely well designed, dishwasher safe and can be used at the cottage or at home.

Price: 0.00$

For a brighly coloured gift

This pretty hat is more technical than you think. It has a sweatband at the head to soak up sweat, it's UV resistant (with SPF 50+ protection) and water resistant. A great gift idea for mom to relax by the pool with a drink in hand or on the trail somewhere.

Price: 0.00$

Brand Name | Product Type

A highly versatile gift

While giving a pair of multi-function pliers isn't usually cited as the perfect Mother's Day gift idea, it's a PERFECT gift for moms who like to do everything themselves! Perfect for the home, camping, and beyond, these pliers come with all of Leatherman's signature tools: a knife, multiple screwdrivers, pliers, stripper, and more.

Price: 0.00$

Brand Name | Product Type

A gift made from recycled materials

With the same rugged outsole that made the previous version a cult favorite, the Hurricane Verge offers optimal comfort and is made from recycled bottles. This women's strappy sandal strikes the right balance between performance and style, and is suitable for both city walks and hikes. For an eco-friendly gift, it's hard to beat this.

Price: 0.00$

BEST FOR THE HOMEBODY

If you’re in doubt about what to get your mom, you can’t go wrong with a classic Patagonia Synchilla Pullover. It’s perfect for chilly nights when she just wants to throw on something comfortable and soft. The loose-fit and hip-length cut also make it ideal for wearing around the town or on hikes. Plus, this Fair Trade fit comes in several bright colours and patterns, so you can customize it to Mom’s style.

Price: 0.00$

Brand Name | Product Type

BEST FOR THE AVID HIKER

"Okay, but you'd have to be completely crazy to pay $60 for a bottle of water, right?" - That's what everyone who has never experienced a Hydro Flask says. For having one personally for several years and not being particularly careful with my things, I know it is nearly indestructible. It keeps water, tea, coffee or whatever at the right temperature for 12 to 24 hours. And it is worth its weight in gold.

Price: 0.00$

Brand Name | Product Type

From weekend getaways to long mountain expeditions, the Black Diamond Trail hiking pole is a great combination of comfort, technology and durability. The updated, softer rubber grip increases comfort; the new Solution strap, based on our harness technology, has been widened for better security around the wrist and better handling on steep slopes.

Price: 0.00$

Brand Name | Product Type

Best for unpredictable weather

Waterproof, breathable and packable, this women's rain jacket is designed to protect you from the rain on the trail and tuck away in the corner of your pack when the sun comes back out. It's a no-frills, no-frills model that does the job.

FINAL ADVICE 

While you can always fall back on the classics for Mother’s Day, like a bouquet of flowers, chocolates, or a framed photo, why not treat her to a gift that’s hand picked for her? If your Mom loves shopping, she’lll surely appreciate a new bag, pair of sunglasses, or even a watch. If she loves the great outdoors, you can never go wrong with a new yoga mat, water bottle, or outdoor blanket. 

Now that you’ve found your perfect Mother’s Day gift, the only thing left to do is celebrate her special day!

With a Canadian winter fast approaching in the Rockies, it’s essential to literally have your butt covered when the snow flies. For a jacket that checks off all the boxes of style and functionality, the Katie L Edition jacket from Lolë is already part of my everyday winter wardrobe.  Here’s why I love it. 

This durable jacket keeps you seriously toasty in any winter wonderland. Insulated with ethically-sourced down, it boasts a breathable and waterproof matte luxe fabric that protects you from the elements and wears easily with everything. Its slim-fit design comes with a two-way zipper, adjustable hood and hand-warmer pockets for everyday-friendly comfort, function and style.

Rated to keep you cozy even when the temperature drops down to -20°C, the Katie is also filled with responsibly  sourced down (Downglow 700 Insulation) and you can even trace that down back to its origin at trackmydown.com

The best part about the jacket is the length which cuts off just around the knee.  Style-wise it’s slim-fitted enough that you don’t feel like a marshmallow. Usually I’m a small but I went with a medium because I like to add layers if needed.

So far I’ve used the jacket in my daily errands, dog walks and even ice skating! I love jumping into my car on a cold winter morning while keeping my butt warm enough until the heated seats kick in.  

Pros: Cons:
  • Total body warmth and coverage
  • The Flame Red colour is just perfection 
  • The detachable hood is super handy
  • I wish I could wear it for all of my winter activities like skiing! It’s not really a complaint I just want this jacket to be with me forever.

 

Overall

I got the coat in the bright red colour and I’m so happy I did.  Not only do I feel like I stand out a bit more in the sea of black jackets that are so popular, but I seriously can’t go out without hearing a compliment about the piece.  I’m really looking forward to having the Katie for many years to come!
