Best Mother's Day Gifts for Fitness moms (800x800)Mother’s Day is only two weeks away! That means it’s way past time to brainstorm what you are getting your fitness minded mom. And those mother runners out there can send this post to their fam for a not-so-subtle hint. Here is a list of the Best Mother’s Day gift ideas… for your cool mom.

BEST Mother’s Day Gifts for Fit Moms

1. Massage certificate. Workout or not – moms deserve a massage! But, if she also works out, she really really needs one.

2. Medal Hanger. SportHooks has a great line of fun ones – plus “Mom” specific hangers. Order asap to get it on time.

3. Cute water bottle. Help keep her hydrated for those sweat sessions!

If I’m your mom you should get me this:

But I’m not (unless I have a child out there I don’t know about…) so you might consider…

4. New workout gear. Check out her stuff and figure out what she needs and what she already likes. I’m kinda in love with this Yoga Mom tee (maternity). Or this Run Like a Mother Tee…

5. Wine of the month club. Because. Well, just because it’s awesome.

6. Herb plants (or fruit). Better than flowers – she can enjoy the sight, smell and taste! Tip: Check you local nursery for easy care options. Trader Joe’s might have some too.

7. A healthy dinner. Cook her favorite meal. Tip: Clean up after too and make enough so she have leftovers.

8. Mile Markers. My favorite running book!

Run Like a Mother is another good option or a subscription to her fave fitness or healthy living magazine.

9. A new yoga mat or gym bag.

10. Gift certificate to her favorite smoothie shop! Bonus points if you take her out for a smoothie and a walk.

    I got my mom tickets (duh, one for me, too!) to see Matt Nathanson, Gavin Degraw, and Mary Lambert in concert this June. Apparently I love giving gifts to myself while I bestow them upon others. 🙂

    My mom has been gone for 13 years so I don’t get to worry about a present for her anymore (boo!), but my daughter and I will do the Run Like A Mother 5k together. More than anything, getting ‘love you, mom’ from each of my kids (3 grown boys, and 1 teenage girl) is what makes my heart swell. However, if I come home from the run to a clean house (like a crew came in a worked their magic) – I will be over the moon ecstatic!

    I wish someone in my family would cook me dinner for mothers day. Not going to happen though. I never know what to get my mom. May have to team up with my sister for a nice gift card 🙂 Good tips!

    That yoga mat is awesome!! I got my mom some customized garden markers and will be getting her a potted plant to go with it. Can’t decide between flowers or edibles but a strawberry plant sounds super cute so I may go that route!

    I don’t have a present yet, but I need to get on it. I love my mom and I can’t wait to celebrate her!

    My mom would definitely go for the plants- otherwise, she’s not particularly fitness minded. But I should pass these along to my husband for ideas for me. 🙂

    My sisters and I are getting my mom and gift card to a store she shops at often. We personalized the GC with pics of her grandkids, so it’s a win/win 🙂 I also got her a Run Happy visor, because everyone needs to remember that mantra!

    Ooh my mom definitely needs a new gym bag. She carries her spin shoes around in a plaid duffel thats like 20,000 years old.

    Lately I have been buying a bottle of expensive (okay, like $40) wine and drinking it with my mom. It’s a perfect excuse for bonding! I’ll probably also get her a plant since she’s a crazy gardener.

    My dear mom is going to get a massage and an epic mother’s day breakfast this year. You can’t go wrong with a massage and food!

    Do you still have discount code for compression socks? I could have swore I read it on your site within the last month.

    I would love any of these! I usually get my mom potted flowers. It’s what she asks for every year.

    I got my mom a fit bit for Christmas and she loved it! This year I am getting my mom some flowers because she loves to garden 🙂

      That’s a good idea! I love flowers you can re-plant over a bunch that’s going to die. (Is it replant or just plant…)

    I would like all of these things! Good ideas. My mom isn’t very fitness-minded, so I’m making her and my MIL wreaths.

    My mom is pretty tough to shop for. She’s out of the country all month though so it is going to be a delayed Mother’s Day!

    I got my mom a race entry. She had surgery in December so we’ll wait for her to heal and then pick one to do together.

    Sigh, my mom is so hard to shop for, so I usually don’t buy her a gift. Instead, I usually make a nice meal for her.
