Five Star Gift Ideas

For your mom who enjoys backpacking and camping, there are plenty of thoughtful and practical gift options that she would appreciate. Here are five ideas to help you find a meaningful and personal gift for her:

1. Camping Gear: Consider upgrading her camping gear or getting her something she doesn't already have. A lightweight and durable backpack, a high-quality sleeping bag, or a versatile camping stove could all enhance her outdoor experience. Look for products with good reviews and positive feedback from fellow campers.

2. Portable Hammock: A portable hammock can be a great addition to her camping gear. It provides a comfortable and relaxing spot for her to unwind and enjoy nature. Look for a lightweight, easy-to-setup hammock that can be packed away without taking up much space. You could even personalize it by choosing her favorite color or getting one with built-in bug netting.

3. Outdoor Cookbook: If your mom enjoys cooking while camping, consider gifting her an outdoor cookbook with recipes specifically designed for cooking over a campfire or using portable camping stoves. Look for a cookbook that emphasizes healthy and delicious camping meals, and maybe even includes tips and tricks for cooking in the wilderness.

4. National Park Pass: If your mom enjoys exploring different national parks, consider getting her an annual pass to the National Park Service. This would allow her to visit as many national parks as she wants throughout the year without having to worry about individual entrance fees. It's a gift that provides both enjoyment and an opportunity for new adventures.

5. Outdoor Photography Class: If your mom has an interest in photography, consider enrolling her in an outdoor photography class. This would not only enhance her camping experience but also allow her to capture beautiful memories of her trips. Look for classes that specifically focus on outdoor and nature photography, and ensure the instructor has great reviews and experience in the field.

Remember to consider your mom's specific interests and preferences while choosing a gift. Pay attention to any camping gear or equipment she may have mentioned wanting or replacing, and think about any experiences or activities she enjoys while being outdoors. With a thoughtful and personal gift, you can show your mom how much you support and appreciate her hobbies and adventures.

Or you can get her a star map with the date when she was born.

“I made a map for my mums birthday and she absolutely loved it. Definitely buying another one soon, probably for another family member or friend”
