Next week is every mom’s favorite day to feel special. No, not the first day of school ha ha but Mother’s Day. It’s our day to feel special and appreciated by our families (even more so than usual) and maybe get a little extra pampering. I do always love the handmade cards and flowers and have all of little projects my kids made me many years ago. That’s all well and good but I admit I also enjoy a little gift. After all these years, I know everyone is happiest when I give my hubs a gentle nudge in the form of a wish list. I’ve compiled a few Gift Ideas For Your Favorite Mother Runner.
Gift Ideas For Your Favorite Mother Runner
My friend Amy clued me into these Speedzter arm bands for holding your phone, keys or ID. They come in a ton of cute patterns, are machine washable and have no zippers or velcro. No chafing is a plus and a steal at $15.
Show off all of your bling with a fun medal display rack. Lots of cute ideas on Gone For a Run (prices range $30 and up)
My favorite torture device, The Roll 8 gets the job done. My kids love to use it as well. Hurts so good for sure. ($119)
My wish list big splurge item is the Garmin Fenix3 in Rose Gold. Every badass mother runner and triathlete needs a hard core watch to match. I not so subtly forwarded a few pics to my hubs this week. ($600) It’s just so beautiful isn’t it?
Last but not least what all moms really want and treasure most is the gift of time.
A little more time to go off on a run or get a massage is priceless. Hiring a babysitter for a romantic night out even better.
The best gift that I am getting this Mother’s Day is having both of my kids home to celebrate with me. Any special plans on Mother’s Day?
Hope to see you tomorrow for The Ultimate Coffee Date with my friend Coco.

What a cute phone sleeve! Adorable! Now, if only Ridley would give me that Garmin…
Deborah Brooks says
I think if you write it down and make sure Ridley has your list it’s a good possibility
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I won’t be racing since I will be spending time with my folks instead.
The gift of time is always precious, but boy, I do love me some rose gold too!
Deborah Brooks says
The rose gold is pretty darn nice!

Great ideas. I’m trying to get my mother back into running again!
Deborah Brooks says
Oh that would be so fun for the 2 of you
Coco says
OK, I’ve held back from wanting the Fenix but it is GORGEOUS! That roller is one I don’t have either. Hmmm.
Deborah Brooks says
I will never be able to figure out how to use the Fenix if it comes my way but it is just so beatiful
Debbie @ Coach Debbie Runs says
I need that armband! I stopped wearing mine because I was having such chafing problems! I’m forwarding this list to the appropriate people! 😆

Deborah Brooks says
Thanks I am excited to try out the arm bands and crossing fingers on the watch

I like the arm band. Very cute prints. In past years on Mother’s day we’d go to the running shoe store and I’d get a new pair of running shoes. It was always fun!
