Gift Ideas for Memory Keepers

HP Sprocket Portable Photo Printer

I’ve had a Sprocket for years now and I love it for on-the-go memory keeping and scrapbooking. This mini printer connects wirelessly to your phone and prints 2 x 3 inch photos on sticky paper. A sprocket will allow mom to instantly print cherished family travel memories. The small size is perfect for storing in an RV.

Themed Scrapbook Supplies

Give your RV mom a creative outlet for preserving memories on the road. Themed stickers, papers, and embellishments can help her document scenic views, campfire gathering, and memorable hikes.

RV Camping Log or Travel Journal

Another great way to preserve memories from on the road is an RV Camping Log or Travel Journal. Not only can RV moms keep track of family vacations, it can be fun for everyone to fill out together. In future years the whole family will enjoy looking back at their travel memories- plus you can use the campground notes to help plan future trips!

LED Light Photo Clips

We have these light up clips hung around our slide to display photos from home and souvenirs like patches and stickers. The LED light in each clear clip adds an extra touch of fun.

Experience Gift Ideas

Reciprocal Museum Memberships

A museum membership is perfect for the mom who loves history, art, or gardens. Many museums are part of reciprocal systems that also allow you free access to other museums across the country. Reciprocal systems to consider are NARM, ROAM, ASTC, and the AHS.

Classes

For moms who love to learn new things, look for cooking, art, fitness, music, or outdoor activity classes. You can find classes through libraries, community centers, local Facebook groups, and museums. This is also a great way to experience local culture and meet new people on the road.

The Adventure Challenge Scratch Off Books

The Adventure Challenge makes a variety of scratch-off adventure books. I have both the Friends and Couples versions. There also versions for families, travel, and solo. Each book contains fun and unique activities- the catch is you don’t know what activity you’ll be doing until you scratch it off. There’s also a spot for photos and memories, so this would be perfect to pair the with HP Sprocket!

Self Care Gifts for RV Moms

Aromatherapy Shower Steamers

Most RVs don’t have bathtubs, so an alternative to the usual bath-time gift is shower steamers. You can find these in a variety of scents to fit any mood.

Travel Books

Whether it’s guide books for planning, or travel memoirs for inspiration, travel books are a great gift. National Geographic makes a great series of travel guides.

Camping Wine Glass

Every RV mom who loves wine needs a good travel glass. The Yeti wine tumbler is stainless steel, making it super durable for taking it on adventures.

Treats and Snacks

Who doesn’t love a sweet treat or good snack on the road? Consider getting your RV mom a selection of road trip or trail snacks. Our first Harvest Host runs a family chocolate shop, RGW Candy, that sells online- we highly recommend!

RV-Friendly Crafting & DIY Gifts

Aerogarden

An Aerogarden indoor hydroponic garden is perfect for the plant-lover who lives on the road. This compact, self-contained, system requires minimal space and maintenance. You can get seed kits for growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, and more.

Adults and Crafts

Adults and Crafts offers craft kits that include everything you need for the project- even things like scissors, rubber gloves, lighters, etc. I used to have a subscription and loved all the projects I made. They also sell individual kits, perfect for RVers who have limited space for craft supplies.

Cricut Joy

I use my Cricut Maker so much that I had to make room for it in the RV. An alternative that may be better for others is the Cricut Joy. This small Cricut is just over 8 inches long, making it a great space-saving choice for RV crafters.

Cardmaking Supplies

For crafty moms with limited space to store supplies, cardmaking is a great hobby. Finished projects can be sent off to friends and family- helping you keep in touch and giving you a creative outlet without much to store!

Gifts for Outdoorsy Moms

Aeropress Travel Coffee Press

I’ve known several people who swear by the Aeropress for coffee-making on the go. It’s a great set up for camping and backpacking. This portable French press is convenient, and from when I’ve tried it makes pretty good coffee!

Female Urination Device

Ok, I know this seems like a weird gift idea- but for long treks in the wilderness a FUD is a gamechanger for female hikers. I’ve used the Tinkle Belle while backpacking. It folds up into a small pouch, making it convenient to carry.

Kula Cloth

Along with the pee-in-the-woods theme, Kula Cloth is an antimicrobial silver-infused pee cloth. This is a woman-owned company that believes in helping you Leave No Trace.

Paddling Gloves

If your RV mom loves kayaking or canoeing, a pair of paddling gloves is a great addition to her gear. This touch of comfort helps make the paddling experience even more enjoyable.
