For many of us, one of our favorite parts about our moms is how she influenced our healthy lifestyles — and Mother's Day is the perfect time to celebrate that. Maybe fitness (or active adventuring) is something special you share together, and maybe you're always swapping healthy tips and recipes. On the other hand, maybe Mom's just getting into a healthier lifestyle and you're helping her reach some goals.
Make more memories with Mom and try these gifts that'll keep her healthy, fit, happy, and feeling good — and definitely take some time to fit in an activity together!
Yoga-Inspired Jewelry
We all know jewelry for mom on Mother's Day is an easy play, but here's a cool twist: this is something she could wear to her yoga practice and beyond, and it supports a good cause.
The Neshama Project creates beautiful products to support various charitable organizations; this Tikvah necklace ($108) is a beautiful piece that’ll be especially sentimental to any mom who has been affected by breast cancer. Tikvah is Hebrew for “hope,” and 10 percent of the proceeds of each necklace sold will go to breast cancer awareness programs.
Supscription Wellness Box
The Bulu Box Original includes a well-rounded sampling of all things health and wellness, while the Bulu Box Weight Loss delivers healthy snacks, fat-burners, fitness gear, and kitchen tools. Get mom one box for only $10 (!), or go big and spend $110 for a year-long subscription. It's like a prepacked, curated gift!
Daily Burn Subscription
Does your mom spend a lot of time at home? Give her a dose of fitness, right there in the living room. Daily Burn (free one-month trial, $13 per month after) is a 24/7 on-demand streaming service of workouts with access to trainers on a digital platform.
Sculpting Workout Pants
Everyone loves activewear that makes them feel and look amazing, and moms are no exception to this. These smoothing, flattering Nike Sculpt Training Capris ($90) will keep everything held in in all the right places.
Aromatherapy Oils
Give your mom a spa-like experience year-round. The soothing blend in the SukiShufu Suki 7.1 Oil ($15) is a mix of sweet orange, patchouli, camellia, and echinacea.
Trail Shoes
These sturdy trail running shoes from Merrell ($130) are perfect for the mom who loves to hike or spend her active time in the great outdoors. Pro tip: plan a camping or hiking trip with mom, include the map or brochure from your destination in the shoe box, and surprise her on Mother's Day with a gift she'll never forget.
A SoulCycle Gift Card
Your mom will appreciate a luxe fitness experience, like a SoulCycle class (prices vary); and treat her to a studio class (with you!) that she wouldn't normally take on her own. If you don't have a SoulCycle nearby or cycling isn't her speed, choose something unique and fun in your area that might be a little outside her normal routine like Zumba, yoga, or barre.
Edible Arrangements
Up your flower-delivery game with some fruit (and maybe some chocolate!) for a tasty yet wholesome indulgence. Prices vary at Edible Arrangements and start around $30. You can keep it simple or go big with a huge bouquet. Who doesn't love getting a delivery?
A Month of ClassPass
It's like the gift that keeps on giving! A ClassPass gift card varies in price depending on your city (typically $100 to $120) but will allow Mom to take unlimited classes in her area. If you have a ClassPass too, you can both use it during your visits to each other if you live in different cities.
Reusable Water Bottle
An active mom on the go needs to stay hydrated, and these beautiful bottles from S'well will keep her H2O ice cold. This S'well Opal Marble Reusable Bottle ($35) makes a really gorgeous gift.
Something Custom
Whether you're customizing a pair of new sneakers or fresh new outerwear like this Sandstone Custom Jacket from Eddie Bauer ($130), this is like the grown-up version of a macaroni picture frame or finger paints that say "I love you, Mom." Get her initials printed on it and pick her favorite colors for a very personal gift. Your active mama will be so excited.
A Surf Yoga Retreat
Perhaps you got a lot more back from your tax returns than anticipated or you've been saving for a while — this is definitely the splurge present. If you love traveling with your mom, this is an adventure that'll stay with both of you forever. A surf and yoga retreat from Surf Goddess (prices vary, starts at $2,200 per person) is a week of unlimited spa treatments, surf lessons, daily yoga, incredible food, and five-star accommodations in Bali. We guarantee this gift will be well received.
Comfy Running or Walking Shoes
Keep your mom feeling comfortable and stylish. These New Balance Fresh Foam Vongo ($130) kicks will be an instant hit. We're also big fans of the wool Allbirds shoes ($95) for walking!
POPSUGAR Must Have Box
We're obviously a bit biased about the POPSUGAR Must Have Box, but how could we not be? The mix of food-, beauty-, and wellness-related products (including last month's Cravings cookbook from Chrissy Tiegen, dark chocolate espresso beans, and Farmacy firming balm, which smells AH-mazing) make this a great, well-rounded, pre-packed gift. You can buy one box at a time, or subscribe mom to the Must Have Box ($40/month) or the Must Have Mini ($20/month).
