Forget aprons and dodgy oven mitts, here’s what Mum really wants this Mothers’ Day.
Luxe Lounger Chair
Campgrounds aren’t five-star resorts, but every gal loves a beach-club vibe now and then. Introducing the Luxe Lounger, a cushioned recliner bringing poolside glam and comfort to a campsite near you. The lounger has six adjustable reclining positions for the head, waist and legs, allowing Mum to live the resort life on the road. Best of all, her new best friend packs flat into a convenient carry bag. It’s on the heavy side at 7kg, but we think this lounger is worth jettisoning some fishing gear for.

Oztrail Beach Tote
Mum’s going to need a beach bag to go with that lounger, and OZtrail has got just the solution. The Beach Tote in Palm Cove Green combines fashion and function for those coastal getaways. With an 80-litre capacity, the tote is roomy but packs flat and weighs just 170g. An inside zip pocket keeps valuables secure, while the base eyelets do away with any sand or water. Every item in an RV should have two functions, and this tote can be repurposed as a shopping bag.

Nesting wine glass set
Because wine o’clock is a daily institution on the road, and glasses need a home. These nifty nesting wine glasses are lightweight, compact and break proof. Weighing less than 140g, the plastic glasses have detachable stems that pack away inside the vessel for slimline storage and easy transport. They’re not exactly fine crystal but a big leap from a stainless steel mug and will keep mum sip-happy this Mothers’ Day.
$49.95
Nakie Sustainable Down Puffy Blanket
Perfect for those crisp nights sitting out under the stars or as an extra layer in bed, these eco-friendly puffy blankets are the business. Nakie blankets are rated to 5C°, water-resistant and stuff into a small storage bag that weighs in at less than 800g for easy stowing in your RV. Made from a down-like fibre, every blanket is produced from 54 recycled plastic bottles, and Nakie plants four trees for every purchase. That should have Mum feeling warm inside and out.
$169.96
Merry People Bobbi Ankle Boots
These funky, hard-wearing gumboots have been a campground staple for years, and now there’s even more reason to buy a pair for Mum. This year, Merry People has again partnered with the Mother’s Day Classic Foundation to produce a limited-edition coral boot, with 20 per cent of sales funding breast and ovarian cancer research. The exclusive boot has the same thick-grip rubber sole, built-in arch support and stretchy neoprene lining Merry People is famous for. In vibrant pink, these groovy gumboots will keep Mum’s feet dry – and on trend – in the muddiest conditions.
$159.95
Skarong
It’s a sarong but not as you know it. Australian made and owned, the Skarong is just the cover-up Mum needs at the beach, chilling at the campsite or when ducking to the showers. The skarong is a convertible one-piece with straps and can be worn as a skirt, dress or top. Coming in various prints and four lengths – maxi, mid, mini and micro – it’s a versatile improvement on the humble sarong that squishes into a small space for storage.
From $65
Arctic Zone 40 Can Picnic Cooler
Not every mum wants to picnic with a cooler that looks like it came from a tradie’s toolbox. The Arctic Zone cool bag comes in nautical colours for him AND her. This pocket-friendly zip-up cooler has high-density thermal insulation, a leak-proof lining, removable shoulder strap and external zip pocket. Weighing just 750g, it will keep your drinks and lunch cool when you’re at the beach, and pack down small when you’re on the move. Don’t tell mum you picked it up at Woolies.
$25
Cheeki Coffee Mug
Mums are happier when they have caffeine, and with the Cheeki mug her tea or coffee will stay hot all day long. The triple-wall stainless steel vacuum insulation keeps beverages hot (or cold) for up to eight hours and fits snuggly in most vehicle cup holders. While this baby holds 350ml, we’re tipping Mum will need a few top ups on those long drives. The Cheeki comes in a range of colourful designs, has a rubber base for grip, and a leak-proof pop-up lid designed for 360-degree sipping. For extra brownie points, make sure yours is gifted in bed with her beverage of choice.
