We love the range of color options (there’s plenty of choice, from black and understated colors such as camo green to some unique limited edition print patterns) and versatility of this bag, all for a price that makes this an excellent and affordable Mother’s Day gift idea.
One of the great things about this bag is how many different ways you can wear it, plus it’s very reasonably priced for such a versatile small bag.

Randolph Engineering has been a supplier of Aviator sunglasses to the U.S. Military for the past 42 years, and for good reason, their sunglasses (hand-made in over 200 individual steps) are high-quality, comfortable, and durable, and as a result, very reliable in the field.
Randolph’s Fusion Sunglasses Collection is a style-driven spin on popular Randolph Aviator and Aviator-inspired frame styles, for active lifestyle wear.

20. A Self-Cleaning LARQ Water Bottle [$95]
The LARQ Bottle is not just another reusable water bottle, it’s the world’s first self-cleaning water bottle.
It’ll purify your water and neutralize that bottle stink that we all hate! The UV-C technology built into the lid, eradicates up to 99.9999% of bacteria and 99.99% of viruses in Adventure Mode, meaning you can sterilize water found in streams while out hiking for example.
This is a great gift for health-conscious moms who like to eat and drink well, including drinking plenty of clean water (that actually tastes nice) every day!
You may have seen the LARQ bottle on Shark Tank recently, too – but we’ve been using LARQ bottles for several years and you can learn more about them from our review of the original LARQ Bottle PureVis and the LARQ Bottle Movement.
21. A Back Roller Wheel from Chirp [from $40]
Show me someone who doesn’t secretly love getting a good back stretch and massage, especially if there are a few of those satisfying ‘clicks’ that go with it when tension is released.
This back roller wheel is infinitely better than using a foam roller to attempt something similar (read why in our full Chirp Wheel review), and it really does work wonders for relieving back pain and tension, and that’s exactly why we use it every evening after a long day.
Whether after a long day at work, standing, sitting, driving or doing something more fun and adventurous like hiking with a heavy pack on your back, it’s immensely satisfying to have a more relaxed, less tense back after a couple of minutes of using it.
Plus, you get to use it, too, every time you’re around her house!
