12 Outdoorsy Christmas Gifts for Mom This Year

Christmas shopping for mothers is difficult for many of us. If you’ve got a mom who still loves to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors, then you’ve come to the right place!

Below is our list of outdoorsy Christmas gifts to consider for your mom this year. Whether your mom likes to go out on hikes, take camping trips, or enjoy some water and winter sports, we’ve got some great gift ideas!

Cozy Apparel for Outdoor Adventures

When it comes to outdoor activities, apparel is key. Outdoorsy clothing is all about comfort, durability, and keeping warm in chilly weather.

With the right clothing, your mom can enjoy her adventures while staying comfortable and stylish. At Yeager’s Sporting Goods, we have no shortage of outdoor apparel to choose from for your mom this year, from cozy sweaters to durable hiking boots and more!

Sweaters and Sweatshirts

A cozy sweater or sweatshirt is a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast. Look for options made from merino wool or fleece, which provide warmth without bulk.

A sweater with moisture-wicking properties is ideal for keeping dry during brisk walks or hikes. At Yeager’s Sporting Goods, you’ll find some of your favorite outdoor brands, such as Under Armour, Outdoor Research, Dovetail, and more. And let's not forget the importance of layering; a good sweatshirt is versatile enough to wear on its own or as an extra layer under a jacket.

Outdoor Coat, Jacket, or Vest

If your mom loves taking walks and hikes, even in the winter or on chilly fall and spring mornings, a high-quality outdoor coat, jacket, or vest makes for an excellent Christmas gift. Consider an insulated jacket for those cold winter hikes or a lightweight, waterproof jacket for rainy days.

Consider where your mom will most wear the gear and the conditions. For hikes and moderate temperatures, a vest offers added warmth without restricting movement, making it perfect for activities like hiking or biking.

Hiking Clothes

For moms who love hitting the trails, proper hiking clothes are essential. Opt for breathable and quick-drying fabrics that wick away sweat.

Look for hiking pants with reinforced knees for added durability, and don't forget to include a comfortable pair of hiking socks to prevent blisters. With the right assortment of hiking apparel, your mom will be eager to hit the trails as soon as possible!

Hiking Boots

You can’t go hiking without quality hiking footwear, and if your mom has nearly worn out her pair and is due for an upgrade, a pair of superior hiking boots is the perfect Christmas gift. When choosing hiking boots, prioritize support, traction, and water resistance.

A well-fitted pair of boots will protect your mom's feet and ankles, allowing her to tackle any trail with confidence. At Yeager’s Sporting Goods, we have tons of brands to choose from, as well as insoles for added comfort and footwear care accessories to ensure your mom’s new boots last!

Essential Camping Gear

If your mom is the outdoorsy type who loves to pack up and leave the world behind for a few days of blissful camping in the wilderness, we’ve got some gift ideas to make this year’s Christmas the best ever! Equip her with the right camping gear to enhance her outdoor experiences and create memories that last a lifetime.

Cookware

A portable cookware set is a practical gift for any camping enthusiast. Look for lightweight and compact options that include pots, pans, and utensils.

Many brands offer innovative cookware sets that are easy to pack and use in the great outdoors. Cooking over an open flame becomes a breeze with the right gear, allowing your mom to whip up delicious meals even in the wilderness.

Portable Tent

A reliable tent is the heart of any camping trip. When selecting a tent, consider factors such as size, weight, and weather resistance.

A tent with a quick-pitch design is convenient for setting up camp quickly, while a spacious interior ensures comfort during overnight stays. At Yeager’s Sporting Goods, we have a wide selection of tents to choose from, whether you need a simple, portable tent for backpacking or something more luxurious for long weekend camping trips!

Camp Furniture

Just because you’re away from home doesn’t mean you can’t have some comfortable furniture to relax on! Comfortable camp furniture can make all the difference in creating a cozy outdoor environment. A lightweight camping chair or a portable hammock is a great gift to give to your mom so she can relax after a long day of hiking and enjoying the Great Outdoors.

GPS Tracker

For moms who love exploring remote areas, a GPS tracker is a valuable tool for safety and navigation. GPS devices provide accurate location tracking, ensuring peace of mind during hikes and off-the-grid adventures. Look for models with features like topographic maps, compass navigation, and emergency SOS capabilities.

Sporty Gifts for Active Moms

If your mom thrives on adventure and enjoys outdoor sports, we can help with that too! Whether she likes to get out on the water or hit the slopes, we’ve got all kinds of sports equipment and gear for the mom who loves an outdoor adventure.

Kayak

A kayak is a fantastic gift for moms who love spending time on the water. Whether she enjoys exploring calm lakes or tackling gentle rivers, a kayak offers a unique perspective on the great outdoors.

Look for inflatable or hard-shell kayaks that are easy to transport and store. And don’t forget a paddle and safety gear like a life jacket and helmet!

Paddleboard

For a fun and challenging water activity, consider a paddleboard. Stand-up paddleboarding offers a full-body workout while allowing your mom to enjoy serene water views.

Many older people have taken up paddleboarding as great exercise and a fantastic way to enjoy the water. We’ve got plenty of stand-up paddle boards at Yeager’s Sporting Goods, and accessories like paddles, life jackets, and more.

Winter Skis

If your mom prefers winter sports and loves to hit the slopes, what better gift to give them than a new pair of skis? Whether she enjoys downhill skiing or cross-country trails, the right pair of skis will enhance her winter adventures. Consider factors such as ski length, type, and bindings when making your selection.

Snowshoes

Snowshoeing is a fantastic way to explore winter landscapes, making it an ideal gift for moms who love the snow and enjoy a hike, even in the winter. Snowshoes provide traction and stability on snowy trails, allowing for safe and enjoyable hikes.

Look for lightweight and durable snowshoes with adjustable bindings to accommodate different footwear. Yeager’s Sporting Goods has many snowshoes to choose from, including poles and performance apparel to ensure she stays warm on her snowy trek.
