Get mom something she'll love this year
Mother’s Day is coming up fast (Sunday, May 9 in case you forgot), so if you haven’t started shopping yet, then here’s your chance to shine with our Mother’s Day Gift Guide for Boaters — a treasure trove of great nautical gifts she’ll absolutely love. Better get cracking if you want to guarantee delivery before the big day arrives.
Fun Time
Garmin’s Quatix 6 smartwatch comes with a boatload of brilliant features that every mom will love, starting with its ability to use helpful apps like Garmin Pay (so she doesn’t have to drag a purse everywhere) and Fusion-Link (so she can turn up the stereo without getting out of her chair). A pile of pre-loaded nautical apps, full interactivity with linked Garmin electronics, a beautiful yet tough and fully water-proof housing and Garmin’s easily adjustable band make this one a gift she’ll love for years.
Pretty in Pink
Jabasic’s slip-on knit loafers are the ideal boat shoes with their non-slip EVA sole that gives an octopus-like grip on wet boat decks yet won’t mark delicate gelcoat surfaces. Their super-comfy slip-on design and soft memory insole provides exceptional arch support and breathability for all-day comfort and fast drying should they accidentally get wet.
Captain’s Log
What better way to help mom celebrate her nautical travels with a leather-bound travel journal? EmCollection offers a delightful leather journal with classic style that comes with three notepads that work equally well with ballpoint, ink pens, fountain pens and pencils. A tasteful compass divider and attractive gift box just add to the wow factor.
Ramble On
Moms love to start the day with a nice hot tea, and it’s important that the tea stay hot while she wakes up at that wonderful leisurely pace. Yeti’s 14-ounce Rambler tea mug will not only keep her tea piping hot as it should be, but look great in the process with a choice of 18 different colors – all in Duracoat for scratch-resistant long life. The fully insulated design won’t burn her hands, nor will it sweat in the sun if she swaps the tea for something cold instead. Dishwasher-safe for easy cleanups, the cup features an oversized handle so she can even enjoy her tea without having to take off her mitts on those really cool days.
Comfort To Go
Windburn sucks, so help Mom look and feel her best with the luxury of L’Occitane moisturizing Aqua gel. The water-based gel soothes windburned skin and restores proper hydration levels so a day at sea won’t leave her with the dried-up lizard look.
Galley Girl
She likes to cook. And she likes to go boating. What better way to combine Mom’s two loves than with nautical oven mitts and pot holders that show her love of the sea whether baking up a storm in the galley or cooking up something good at home? These non-stick, odor-resistant gloves protect against burns yet are easy to clean – they’re even dishwasher-safe!
