Mother’s Day is just around the corner, are you feeling a little stressed looking for that perfect gift for your most special lady? We here at ScoutTech have got some ideas for you for any budget, so look no further.

Outdoorsy Mom- She loves to get outside no matter the weather.

Top Picks:

• Mountain Hardwear Plasmic Geo Rain Jacket.

Your adventurous mom will love this.It will keep her comfortable no matter how active she is. This jacket features improved breathability and a drier interior feel without pit zips. It’s both durable and windproof, and comes in three different patterned colours.

• Lowe Alpine Eclipes ND22 Daypac

New for 2014, the Eclipse ND22 is suitable for any outdoor activity imaginable. Small and light, it is a great choice for those women looking to move fast and adventure further. Great colours, packed with features and clean and simple lines, this is one pack that will do everything she needs.

• Outdoor Research Sombriolet Sun Hat 

We have so many great wide brimmed hats that it’s tough to pick just one.We like the Sombriolet for its lightweight design, adjustable sizing and great ventilation. It will keep the sun off her face without causing her to overheat- and it’s stylish!

• Darn Tough Socks.

 It seems like an odd gift idea, but that’s just because you’ve never worn Darn Tough socks.These socks are cushioned and comfortable, made from a Merino Wool blend.Best of all, they have a lifetime guarantee so you’re giving her socks for LIFE. The only bad news is that she won’t need new ones next year.

Urban Hiker Mom- She might not be gutting fish, but she’s out and about and active.

Top Picks:

• Jack Wolfskin Picona Backpack.

She needs to pack a few extra things, but doesn’t want the bulk of a full sized daypack? The Picona is comfortable and well designed to snuggle up to the back with its wide shoulder straps.The graphic detail makes it nice enough to wear through the city as well. It’s big sister Ancona is a little larger, with an extra front pocket.

• Columbia Skorts

 Moms will love these skorts because they look great; they’re lightweight, wrinkle resistant, comfortable and stretchy. With shorts built into them, she can do just about anything, from lunches out, to hiking, biking, travel and handstands! ($49.99-$64.99)

• Micria T-Shirt.

We like this shirt for mom, because it is both technical and feminine in the details.Too often, performance shirts end up being boxy and ill fitted.Not this shirt! It’s ideal for high energy activities with its odor resistant, quick drying and moisture wicking fabric. Available in three colours for $39.99.

 

Your Mom- She’s your mom, any mom would appreciate these great gifts.

Top Picks:

• Columbia Prima Agua Dress . 

Mom will love this in the hot weather. She will be cool, sun protected and comfortable in this universally flattering summer dress. The lightweight jersey gives it great drape and stretch, which makes finding her size very easy. UPF 50 sun protection is built in.

• Montrail Molokini Flip Flops.

Mom will love them because they’re so comfortable, without looking too sporty.They have innovative, heat-moldable foam soles which will contour to her feet.

• Columbia Coolhead Visor.

Your mom doesn’t wear hats?That doesn’t mean that she should risk sun damaging her skin.The Coolhead Visor features a women’s specific fit, as well as advanced Omni-Freeze® ZERO technology in the sweatband, which reacts with sweat to lower the temperature of the material. Regular $24.99 but ON SALE for $14.99.

• Nalgene Multidrink.

Water bottles have come a long way in the past few years. Gone are the days of sloshing water down your front as you try to sip from a wide mouth opening.Meet the multidrink.Mom will love it because she can sip from it daintily on the go, or gulp from it when she’s got serious thirst.

We know that your mom will love whatever you decide on for Mother’s Day.But before you present her with that “re-gifted” candle, you should recall all of the amazing things she has done for you, and spoil her a little this year.
