Fun RV Gifts for Mom
Our first 5 suggested RV gifts for mom are all fun items that are still practical for RV travel. These gifts will be sure to bring a smile to your mom’s face.
Hummingbird Feeder
Many warm-weather RV camping destinations are also seasonal habitats for hummingbirds. Sweet Feeders hummingbird feeder, has a unique design that suctions onto any RV window and allows up to 4 hummingbirds to feed at once.
Built from copper and glass, this feeder is attractive and sturdy. Its slim design means that the feeder won’t interrupt views from mom’s campsite.
Silicone Flower Vases
Flowers are always a great gift for mom, but glass vases are not ideal for use in an RV. Along with a fresh bouquet of flowers, gift your favorite camping lady a set of geometric silicone vases.
The unbreakable vases each come with a suction cup on the bottom, so they can even be secured during travel. The vases are available in pastel or bold hues.
Embroidery Kit
A camping-themed embroidery kit is the perfect gift for crafty RV moms. This camper sampler kit by Stitched Stories Kits comes with everything needed to complete an embroidery project.
The kit includes a wooden hoop, fabric, needles, thread, a storage tin and instructions. The detailed instructions mean this gift is also appropriate for beginners.
Compact Cheese Board
If your mom is a foodie, a compact cheese board is a wonderful holiday or birthday gift. Cheese plates and charcuterie boards require minimal preparation, making them perfect for an elevated camping meal.
This circular bamboo cheese board is perfect for RVs because it collapses down to a 9.5-inch long wedge for easy storage. A built-in drawer also includes utensils. Also, check out our favorite RV camping foods and make mom her next meal at the campground!
Swinging Camping Chair
Every camper needs a chair to sit around the campfire, but most portable chairs are uncomfortable. The Deerfamy hammock chair is a foldable chair that provides maximum comfort.
Mom will love the padded seat and backrest in this outdoor rocking chair. The chair is durable and can support adults up to 350 pounds.
If your mom is a bigger woman, see our list of the best camping chairs for big people.
Practical RV Gifts for Mom
RV camping requires a lot of specialized supplies, meaning these practical RV gifts for mom will be a hit.
Walkie Talkies
We’ve all seen the t-shirts apologizing for “what I said when backing up the camper.” It’s true that many couples end up in arguments when trying to park at tight campsites.
Instead of buying a gift that highlights the issue, purchase Mom a set of walkie-talkies that will help her and her partner better navigate the parking process.
Custom Camping Checklist
Packing for an RV trip, setting up an RV, and breaking down a campsite all require detailed checklists. This portable checklist is perfect for campers. The title and items can be completely customized. An internal magnet makes the checklist easy to stick to the refrigerator when it is not being used.
RV Camping Tumbler
When camping and hanging outside, hydration is super important, which makes a cute tumbler the perfect RV gift for mom.
Camco makes 30-ounce, stainless steel “Life is Better at the Campsite” tumblers that are perfect for RV moms. The tumbler is available in several colors, and is great for both cold and hot drinks.
Portable Washing Machine
While a washing machine may not sound like the most exciting gift, being able to avoid the campground laundromat is a way to save mom time and money.
Autech’s portable washing machine does not require any installation and will fit in most showers making it suitable for RV living or travel. The compact machine has two tubs: one for washing and one for spinning and has a 9-pound wash capacity.
Rubber Welcome Mat
Rubber doormats are perfect for RV camping. They dry quickly, sand and dirt are easily swept or rinsed off the surface, and the rubber is more durable than most mat materials.
To add a little pizzazz to a somewhat dull gift, pick a mat with a fun design, like this unique semicircle welcome mat from Chichic.
