Being a sports mom means lots of giving; of time, money, sweat, and often tears. It can often be difficult to find the best things to gift to us. The gift guide below can help you bless the Sports Mom in your life with something we really want, a little self-care, and much-needed relaxation!
Also, don’t miss our gifts for Dad’s who hunt, hike and camp!
Instant Pot
You’ll find this on every gift guide out there with good reason. None of us have time to stand over the stove for an hour or more after a busy day of work, appointments and sports practices. The Instant Pot streamlines dinner – just dump your ingredients in and have a healthy dinner in less than an hour.
Travel Coffee Mug
We travel A LOT for sports, therefore we need lots of coffee, or tea, or anything we want to drink, to be able to travel with right along with us. This Yeti Travel Mug can keep things hot or cold for hours. Perfect for the long car trips, or the wait times between games and events.

How many times have you been late because you couldn’t find your keys? This handy little tech gadget will put an end to that stress! Your kid may never have to run those pesky laps again, they’ll always be on time!
Echo Spot
Who has time to look things up anymore? Use your Echo to find out the weather forecast, news headlines, play a meditation app, add to your grocery list and more!

You know those days when you have to be running around but you’d rather be home under a blanket? With this cute scarf you can pretend you’re snuggling at home while staying warm and cozy when you’re out and about. Ideal to wrap around your neck on a freezing cold day out on the fields (can I get an ‘amen’, baseball moms?)

Fitness Products Under $25
Fitness equipment doesn’t have to be expensive. There are lots of fitness-related products to choose from that are less than $25. Here are just a few of the options available to you. I’d love to use some of these as part of my practice time exercise routine!

This is perfect when you’re looking for a last-minute gift for someone you know enjoys fitness and health, or to add to their big fitness gift basket, since it doesn’t cost a lot. The abdominal exercise roller include a big wheel with handles on either side, so that the individual rolls it forward and back while on the ground for an abdominal exercise. With the roller, they will also receive a knee pad mat.

Have one in your car so you can get some stretching in when you can!

For most of us sports moms, our reward is watching our kid’s succeed at something they love. That doesn’t mean that we don’t love to be gifted something just for us from time to time. Keep this list handy for any Sports Mom gift giving occasion, or go ahead do a little shopping for yourself!
