💪 Mother’s Day Gift Guide: For the Fit, Outdoorsy, Hardcore Mom

Forget the flowers and sleepy brunch dates (unless they’re served with instant coffee on a mountain peak). The mom we’re celebrating this Mother’s Day laces up before sunrise, hauls gear like a pro, and somehow still finds the missing sock at the campsite. She’s not looking for frills—she wants function. She thrives in motion, and her idea of self-care includes a trailhead, a solid pack, and a strong cup of backcountry brew. This year, let’s skip the clichés and give her gifts that rise to her level of grit, grace, and adventure.

“You’re incredible. Let’s get outside.”
