Mother’s Day in the United States is Sunday, May 12 this year.
Dog moms, cat moms, human moms, grandmas, substitute moms, drag moms, mother figures — we’d like to give them all a shout-out this Mother’s Day.
Without moms, none of us would be here, after all. They give us life.
No matter who serves as a mother figure in your life right now, treat them to something nice. A hike, a road trip, a massage, brunch, flowers. You get the idea.
If you’d like to gift them a little something as well, we have 12 camper van gift ideas for you.
You might just find something for yourself. (We won’t tell anyone.)
Camper van gifts for mom
For moms and mother figures who’d rather be outside, on the road or just comfortable at home
1. Super Cool Van Trips SUP women’s fit tee
Sure, we might be biased, but we think this is the cutest paddle board t-shirt ever. Even better, it’s printed on a super-soft Next Level tee.
Colors range from bright to neutral to suit anyone’s taste.
Mom is sure to love this thoughtful and unique gift, especially when you tell them you supported a small business in buying this Super Cool SUP t-shirt.
2. Custom nameplate necklace
Does mom’s camper van have a cute moniker? If so, turn it into a nameplate necklace for Mother’s Day.
Numerous sellers on Etsy offer custom name necklaces. We picked this one because of the seller’s great reviews and multiple customization options.
3. Air plant holders
Gift mom a little something to brighten up her camper van interior.
Little being the operative word. Because a camper van only has so much space for decor. These darling plant holders won’t take up much.
To complete the gift, Amazon sells air plants in a range of colors, as well as this organic spray to help mom care for their petite new traveling companions.
Or, take mom to a local nursery and let them pick out their own air plants.
4. Corckcicle wine tumbler
These adorable tumblers are compact enough to stock in just about any camper van.
They’re triple insulated, which means mom’s rosé will stay cold for up to 6 hours. Or, a hot beverage will stay warm for up to 3 hours.
With 31 colors available at the time of this publishing, you can probably find mom’s favorite. Or, at least something close.
The BPA-free tumblers include a press-on plastic lid.
Buy two so mom can enjoy a drink with a friend.
5. Rechargeable neck fan
Does mom run hot?
Help them stay cool in the van, at the campsite, at brunch or even on a hike.
This lightweight, rechargeable fan wraps around the neck to cool down moms on the go.
Bonus: there are no fan blades for mom’s hair to get caught in.
6. Peanuts poncho
Does mom run cold?
Treat her to this camping-themed poncho featuring Snoopy and Woodstock. It’s an oh-so-covetable collaboration between Parks Project and Peanuts.
The poncho has a drawstring hood and a large front pocket for keeping their hands warm.
With its weather-resistant exterior, it can also act as a picnic blanket. Or, fold it up in its zipper pouch to make a pillow.
7. Trip planner and journal
This leather-bound journal is a great way to plan out where you’re going and keep track of where you’ve been.
It’s designed to record 12 different trips, with pages for meal planning, campsite notes and more. And, it comes with three sheets of stickers to help mom connect to a little child-like fun. Who doesn’t need that in their life?
Easily tucks away in a glovebox, backpack or camper van cabinet.
8. Vanlife tote bag
Another great item from our Super Cool Van Trips store, this cheerful tote bag gets high marks for both style and functionality.
It features our custom camper van print, with a van, a paddle board, flowers, a squirrel and more.
Mom will love the adjustable shoulder strap and interior zipper pocket.
It’s great for the farmers market, flea market or anywhere mom needs to tote around some goodies.
9. Bluetooth speaker and device stand
Make it easy for mom to watch movies in their camper van with this device stand and Bluetooth speaker.
Holds a phone or tablet for hands-free viewing or video calls. Or, use it to play music, audiobooks or podcasts.
The device stand tilts for optimal viewing. And it, folds down for easy storage in a camper van, tote bag or someplace else.
10. Drowsy sleep mask
Help mom sleep anywhere, even a Cracker Barrel parking lot, with this luxurious sleeping mask.
Covers the eyes and ears to help mom relax and enjoy a good night’s sleep. Meaning they can wake up feeling rejuvenated and ready for the day’s adventures.
It’s adjustable, washable (by hand), blocks out light and feels soft against the skin.
11. Travel Yahtzee
The classic dice-rolling game gets a National Parks update. And, it all packs nicely away in the dice cup for easy storage in mom’s camper van.
In addition to numbers, the dice feature deer, tents, canoes, hikers, pine trees and binoculars. Making it the perfect game to play at the campsite picnic table or inside the van.
Mom can play on her own with a glass of wine or with friends.
12. Beats headphones
Rechargeable, noise-canceling, comfortable, stylish. What more could mom want from their headphones?
Oh yeah, they’re wireless, too.
A fully charged battery can give mom 22 hours of their favorite music, podcasts and audiobooks, whether they’re traveling or at home.
Requires a separate charging cable. Don’t leave mom hanging without a way to recharge their Beats, now.
Of course, you can make mom feel special without spending much or any money.
Pick up the phone and call them. Create a photo slideshow of memories to send them. Plan a hike and a light picnic.
So long as mom knows you’re thinking of them, they’ll likely be happy.
Sending our love to all the moms and mother figures out there making a difference in the lives of pets, humans and others.
