Although we can probably all agree that mothers should be honored and appreciated more than once a year, the official Mother’s Day is next week. When my kids were small, I just wanted some peace and quiet away from everyone and some time to myself. Now that my kids are older, I wish for more time with the whole family together. Funny how that happens! I am offering up ideas to pamper all the moms in your life.
Mother’s Day Gifts For Runners and Fitness Enthusiasts
Mani/Pedi gift cards
If there is one thing that runners have in common it’s our abuse of our feet. Everyone love a gift card for a mani/pedi treat.
The gift of an activity to do together
In the past, we have arranged activities that our extended family has done together (for my mom) as a group. While it takes some prior planning, experiences like family cooking classes, family zip line adventures and private yoga classes are things we have previously done that everyone can do together.
Photos that keep on giving
This year, we are giving my mom this digital photo frame. Anyone in the family can automatically send photos directly to the frame and it will constantly update. My mom will continue to receive photos from all the kids and grandkids. So much easier than printing out photos to refresh frames.
Running clothes and accessories
The entire “Mother’s Day collection” is 20% off on Sarah Marie Designs with code “lovemom”. Score! These are a few of my favorites:
What is on tap for your Mother’s Day? Anything on your wish list? Hope to see you at the Ultimate Coffee Date Linkup this Friday/Saturday.
Linking up
I’m buying myself a weight bench this year LOL. I’ve been wanting one for a while and I’ve been consistently lifting weights for over a year, so I’ve decided I deserve one.
You definitely deserve one! I use mine every workout so versatile. I actually have a post coming out next week w a few of my fave bench exercises.
I love doing experience gifts for my mom. My sister and I teamed up one year and brought her to a wine and paint class which is always a hit. I hope you get the family time you deserve this weekend!
Doing fun experiences together are great gifts and fun for everyone. I have lots of family time coming up the next few weeks
Great gift ideas! I’d love for my family to run a local Mother’s Day 5k with me but that’s not happening, so we’ll see what they come up with!
Yes getting them to run a 5K w me is not happening here either!
I’ve asked my mom to give me some mother’s day gift ideas but she hasn’t provided any yet, lol. I really like the idea of getting a gift card or gifting an activity that we can do together
You 2 love to do things together so that would be a great choice for you. Maybe a cooking class?
Cute ideas! Love the fun clothing. As you know, with older children the best gift is time together.
It sure is! Nothing better 🙂
Ooooh I love Sarah Marie Design Studio…might have to buy myself a gift 😉
Well I definitely think you deserve one!
I love the gift of activities to do together! Memories are really the greatest gift of all.
I completely agree!
I love Sarah Marie Design studios and recommended her stuff in my guide too. I need to get another digital frame. I used to have one . . .
I hope my mom can figure out how to use the frame! I suspect we will all be loading the photos in for her
definitely great ideas for gifts. I love the digital photo frame!
I don’t really celebrate mother’s day. not for myself or my own mother. it’s complicated! I do always send her a message but we are not close emotionally or physically. It is what it is.
Yes it is xoxo That’s what great friends are for (in person and virtually)
Lots of great suggestions!! We got my in-laws a digital display several years ago. They were losing their ability to grasp things (like turning pages of an album), so the digital frame was ideal. The family yoga pic is so beautiful!!
Thanks and I hope my parents like it!
These gifts are so great for running mommas! Thanks for the awesome line up!
Thanks and happy mothers day to you
Don’t really need anything. But I’d welcome a race entry, new Garmin and gift card for running shoes.
well all of those would be great gifts
All great ideas and I will always love that family yoga photo! Maybe I will run into you at IU this weekend. If not – enjoy the day (though I think we might get rained on). Happy Mother’s Day!
I hope we do get to meet up this weekend!
Oh yes, it’s time I think about shopping for my runner-wife! Thanks for the reminder and ideas!
no problem! 🙂
I had some medical issues and was unable to run or exercise – I can’t wait to get back in the game. And receiving a nice mothers day present from my daughter connected to this would be great 😀 I will accidentally leave my laptop open to this post 😀
Well sounds like you deserve something nice! Happy mother’s day to you
How cute are you ladies in that family yoga shot?! What a fun idea! I think I’m going to surprise my mom next week and make a trip down to her house with some homemade baked goodies to celebrate Mothers Day 🙂
That would be very nice and I am sure she will love to see you
The photo frame is a great idea! Looks like something we can give my mom since she also loves looking at pictures.
Oh, and that first photo, I LOVE it!!
I am hoping that my mom really enjoys the frame too
What an awesome roundup! My mom isn’t much of a runner, but if she was these would be awesome picks for her!
Thanks and hope your mom has a happy mother’s day
So I am lucky in that my birthday and Mother’s Day are days apart. Hurray! Double presents!
This year I would love some new running clothes and gear, a photo session for family pictures and a race. We shall see how it goes 🙂
I am sure your boys will honor you for both days! Happy birthday and happy mother’s day
I love the idea of doing family things. We live all over the country, so it def takes planning to get together with my mom and other siblings.
Great idea of the photo frame too! My mom would love that!
I love the frame idea and I am hoping she does too
That yoga photo is the best <3
It is one of my faves 🙂
