2025 Mother's Day Outdoors Gift Guide

A shade hat, Bajio sunglasses and Toadfish Chiller

Likely the all time gifts for Mom include a meal outside the home, and a bouquet of red roses, but what about some gifts to help out with fun in the sun! The heat of summer hasn’t arrived just yet, but the time for tanning and being outside in the sun is right now, and everyone can agree that a large shade hat suits most Mom’s requirements as the baseline for skin protection. If poolside then a bottle chiller and outdoor goblets are a must, and if on the boat some fancy shades to reduce glare are the order of the day. A waterproof tote bag and some game paddles are two perfect beach day getaway accessories.
