What makes Mother’s Day even better? A coastal Mother’s Day, of course! There’s something about the fresh ocean breeze, the sound of waves, and the laid-back beach vibe that makes celebrating Mom feel extra special. Lucky for you, Toadfish has everything you need to pull off the ultimate coastal celebration. Whether you’re hosting near the water or bringing the beachy feel to your backyard, this guide is packed with tips and tricks to make this Mother’s Day one for the books.

How to Set the Perfect Coastal Mother's Day Vibe

To truly embrace the coastal theme, it’s all about the details. Soft blues, sandy neutrals, and Toadfish’s signature turquoise instantly set the tone for a breezy, beach-inspired gathering. Incorporate natural elements like driftwood, woven placemats, and seashell accents to enhance the aesthetic. String up some fairy lights for a warm glow as the sun sets, and let the sound of soft, beachy tunes complete the atmosphere.


Pro Tip: Our Toadfish drinkware, from non-tipping tumblers to universal can coolers, doesn’t just look great—it’s functional, too! The turquoise color pops on any table setting and brings that fresh coastal energy to the party.

What to Eat and Drink? A Seafood Feast Fit for Mom

Nothing says “coastal celebration” like a fresh seafood spread. Whether you’re going all out with a full seafood boil or keeping it simple with oysters and lobster tails, Toadfish has the tools to make prep effortless and fun.


Essential Tools for the Feast:
  • Shrimp Deveiner – Peel, devein, and butterfly shrimp in one smooth motion, making shrimp cocktail or grilled shrimp skewers a breeze.

  • Crab Claw Cutter – The only tool that creates perfect, easy-to-crack circles around crab and lobster claws—because Mom deserves to enjoy her seafood without the struggle.

  • Crab Mallet – For stone crabs, blue crabs, or king crabs, this mallet makes cracking shells easy and mess-free.

  • Put 'Em Back Oyster Knife – Shuck like a pro and serve up fresh oysters on the half shell without breaking a sweat.

  • Ultimate Shears – From cutting lobster shells to snipping herbs for garnishes, these shears are a kitchen essential.

Pair the feast with an ice-cold drink. If Mom’s a beer lover, she’ll appreciate an ice-cold brew kept perfectly chilled in our Universal Can Cooler. If she’s more into cocktails or wine, check out our Wine Guide and Cocktail Blog for the best beverage pairings to toast to Mom’s special day.

Beyond the food, make the day extra special with fun, relaxing activities that embrace the coastal lifestyle.

  • Beach Picnic – Pack up a gourmet picnic and take it to the shore! Our Waterproof Tote + Sling makes carrying everything from snacks to sunscreen effortless.

  • Walks on the Beach – A simple yet meaningful way to spend quality time together, complete with collecting shells as keepsakes.

  • Boat Day – If you have access to a boat, take Mom out on the water for a scenic ride, some dolphin spotting, or a leisurely fishing trip.

  • Sunset Viewing – End the day with a beautiful sunset, a toast, and a heartfelt moment of appreciation for all Mom does.

Enjoy & Happy Mother’s Day!
