We believe that music speaks to everyone. Melody lives forever. And memories are shaped by the soundtracks that play for a moment in our ears—and echo forever in our hearts. These gorgeous wind chimes make an impact in your garden along with the wonderful music they make. With a plethora of sizes and colors, you’re sure to find the perfect windchime to delight your mom this mother’s day!
2. Jewelry
Looking for a more traditional Mother’s Day gift? No problem! Our jewelry options are great for every style and budget. A personal favorite of mine is the Pura Vida wave rings (pictured below). They’re chic, simple, and come in multiple colors. Pura Vida also makes bracelets and necklaces handcrafted by artisans from around the world.
Or shop from other top-notch brands such as 4Ocean, Lotus and Luna, and Colors for Good. Each of these brands gives back to their communities in some way in addition to creating fabulous, on-of-a-kind jewelry.

4. Take Mom on an Adventure
We believe one of the best gifts for Mother’s Day is time spent together. Take Mom on an adventure and create lifelong memories that you’ll cherish forever. Here are the best adventures to surprise Mom with:
- Sanctuary Vineyard Voyage Cruise
- Hatteras Beach Horseback Riding
- Nags Head Dolphin Watch Tours
- Corolla Wild Horse Tours
- Sailing Cruises
1. Sanctuary Vineyard Voyage Cruise
The Vineyard Voyage departs the quaint Outer Banks community of Duck and crosses scenic Currituck Sound by boat to Sanctuary Vineyards. Once you arrive at the vineyard, you’ll get a behind-the-scenes tour of the winery and receive a private wine tasting.
Learn the vine-to-glass process, smell the French oak barrels and meet the master winemakers behind this intriguing process. Sanctuary Vineyards produces over 7,000 cases of wine seasonally and has won over 100 accolades for their award-winning wines. Make reservations early, this tour sells out frequently!
2. Hatteras Beach Horseback Riding
Take Mom on a guided Horseback tour through a Maritime Forest, which is truly unique to the Outer Banks. After your 45-minute trail ride through Buxton Woods, you’ll ride your horse over the last sand dune and then ride on the beach! It is an exhilarating feeling to ride so close to the ocean. You’ll also have the opportunity to soak in the beauty of the area.
With Cape Hatteras Lighthouse and Cape Point off to the left and miles of pristine beaches to ride and enjoy, this horseback tour is one to remember!
3. Nags Head Dolphin Watch Tours
Join us on a unique eco-tour to search for wild Atlantic bottlenose dolphins. Mom will treasure a day on the water with the Nags Head Dolphin Watch. Also, view the wildlife of the Outer Banks! Biologists run these dolphin tours as part of their research on these beloved aquatic animals. So you know this will be an interesting trip.
Passengers will be able to see how researchers with the Outer Banks Center for Dolphin Research, a nonprofit organization, conduct their research. And hear about some of the discoveries from more than a decade of studies and monitoring.
4. Corolla Wild Horse Tours
Your personal guide will take you into the habitat preserved as a sanctuary for the wild horses of Corolla and on to another private preserve. The horses roam freely and are also sighted running along the beach and playing in the surf. What a sight it is!!
Ride along with your guide into the heart of the 4 wheel drive area north of Corolla in one of our unique, custom vehicles. The breathtaking scenery and ocean breezes, along with the eclectic history and folklore, will create lasting memories for all. You’ll have a ball.
5. Sailing Cruises
Sail the Roanoke and Albemarle sounds aboard the 41 foot ketch “Movin’ On”. Whether you come alone, as a couple, or as a group, your experience on this sailing adventure is warm, friendly, and personal. During the trip you have the chance to see dolphins, turtles, pelicans, and other wildlife.
Enjoy our sailing cruise over the waters of the Albemarle Sound in our beautiful 41 foot Tartan offshore cruising Ketch, the “Movin’ on”. She’s roomy and comfortable, and whether you want to cruise to relax and sunbathe or participate in the actual sailing, she will treat you to a wonderful adventure.
