Mother’s Day in the UK is fast approaching, and if you’re searching for the perfect gift for your outdoorsy Mum, we’ve got you covered! From accessories that will transform time spent in and around water to clothing great for the school run, read on to discover the best Mother’s Day gifts from Red…
Perfect when pitchside, running errands, and of course when changing and warming up after open water swimming or paddling, the Long Sleeve Pro Change Robe EVO is the ultimate Mother’s Day gift for a Mum who spends lots of time outdoors. With cosy long sleeves, a moisture-wicking fleece lining and a totally waterproof and breathable outer shell, there’s no doubt that this changing robe will provide complete comfort and convenience no matter the weather. And the best part? It’s available in a huge range of different colours so you can choose your Mum’s favourite and show her you care!
If your Mum is already the proud owner of a change robe or you want to add a finishing touch to create the best Mother’s Day gift, give her one of our Change Robe Stash Bags. Great for taking a changing robe to the next adventure, these bags can easily store the Pro Change Robe and keep it dry and safe when packed away. Compression straps and an air dump valve keep the space the robe will take up to a minimum, so if your Mum loves to travel light, this is the best Mother’s Day gift for her.
Mother’s Day coincides with the beginning of springtime and therefore the real start of open water swimming season - that’s if your Mum hasn’t been going for a cold dip throughout the winter anyway! Our Merino Headband is a great Mother’s Day gift for anybody who might be upping the frequency of their swimming, or the frequency of any of their favourite outdoor pursuits for that matter. It looks great, keeps you warm without overheating, and the antibacterial properties of Merino make it perfect for a busy active lifestyle.
There’s never been a better time to gift your Mum the ultimate adventure companion, as our Adventure Waterproof Backpack just got a serious upgrade. Available in two slick colourways and offering a solid 30L storage capacity, this waterproof backpack is one of the best Mother’s Day gifts for anybody who likes to head out and explore for the entire day or weekend. It’s exceptionally comfortable to carry and completely impermeable, so you can be sure that you are gifting your Mum a bag she’ll genuinely look forward to using.
If you’re looking for a Mother’s Day gift that you can guarantee your Mum will get a lot of use out of, the Red Original Performance Long Sleeve Top could be the perfect choice. The perfect mid-layer for running, paddleboarding, hiking, or simply popping to the shops, this super soft and moisture-wicking top can do it all. In terms of design, it features a particularly trendy quarter-zip neck and plenty of pockets for everything she needs. We promise she’ll love it!
If you are really stuck thinking about what to get for Mother’s Day, consider a more practical present. On this front, you really can’t go wrong with our Insulated Water Bottle. It’s designed to keep the user hydrated no matter what kind of drinks they enjoy, as hot liquids will stay hot for 12 hours and cold liquids will stay cold for 24 hours. Busy Mums will especially love the fact that it can fit roughly 3 cups of coffee, so there’s no need to stop and spend when out and about.
Though we describe this fantastic Mother’s Day gift as a ‘Large’ Microfibre Towel, it’s actually a pretty small but mighty bit of kit. The real advantage of a microfibre towel is that it can pack down compactly (the built-in strap makes this even easier!) and is light to carry when on the go. And it does all of this without compromising absorption, so your Mum can get dry nice and quickly when her time in the water has come to an end.
Perfect for picnicking as a family, the Waterproof Cool Bag Backpack brings our list of the Best Mother’s Day gifts to a close. This travel-friendly cool bag will transform your Mum’s al-fresco dining experience, as it not only keeps the contents safe and ready to eat but is also designed to be worn on the back for total comfort. With 15L inner storage and a food grade BPA free liner, every aspect of this Waterproof Cool Bag Backpack has been designed with convenience and functionality in mind - something we know your Mum will appreciate.
Of course, these are just some of our favourite picks for Mother’s Day 2024. If you’d like even more inspiration, don’t hesitate to check out the rest of our gifts for outdoorsy women and feel free to get in touch with our team if you’d like any additional advice or recommendations.
