This Mother’s Day I wanted to put together some Mother’s Day gift ideas for every type of mum, suitable for all budgets
We don’t all have lots of money to spend and sometimes little kids like to buy something for their mum out of their own money so I like to include Mother’s Day presents that are affordable, as well as some that are a little more expensive.
Gifts for the outdoorsy mum
Helly Hansen Aden Long Rain Coat
Any mum who likes getting outdoors will love Helly Hansen’s Aden Long Rain Coat. It is waterproof making it great for the very changeable British weather!
Our most popular rain jacket with a packable hood, this long women’s rain jacket is stylish and comfortable. It has our waterproof/breathable and windproof HELLY TECH® Protection technology, a soft interior lining for your comfort, and a hood that packs into the collar. The silhouette is three-quarter length, giving this rain jacket an elegant feminine silhouette, plus a little extra weatherproofing.
Helly Hansen Arden Long Rain Coat £140
Vango Waterproof Dry Bag
The Vango Waterproof Dry Bag does exactly that, it keeps all your dry items secure and stops them from getting soggy. There has been a recent upsurge in people enjoying waterspouts, open water swimming and all that jazz and this would be perfect for them. It’s also great for family swimming trips, I don’t think I’ve ever come across a dry changing room and things inevitably end up getting wet!
Ideal for keeping damp equipment separate from your dry clothes and personal belongings, whether you’re kayaking, trekking or just exploring in wet weather. The Dry Bag closure system effectively seals the bag from any encroaching water, protecting your items wherever you go.
Vango Dry Bag £22.50
Edifier W320TN Ear Buds
Having recently joined a gym I realise the importance of ear buds! They really help me block out my surroundings and focus on what I’m doing. As these are also splash proof I don’t have to worry about my sweaty ear holes electrocuting me (I jest, sort of)
