Mother’s Day is right around the corner and that’s this week’s Tuesdays on the Run topic. Need some gift ideas for the awesome mamas in your life? Here are my picks for what the cool moms want.
Compression Socks
Lily Trotters socks: You don’t have to be a runner to take advantage of the many benefits a good pair of compression socks provides and Lily Trotters has some of the cutest styles you’ll see anywhere. I’ll wear mine for recovery of course but they’re also a must for air travel and days when I’m on my feet a ton. They keep my feet and legs feeling refreshed and energized.
Legend Compression Socks. If classic colors are more your style, Legend Compression has the socks and sleeves for you. I super love Legend because they’re just right, not too tight. Right now take 25% off select women’s styles!
Spandits: The new spring patterns are out! Great for running, the gym, heck anytime is Spandits time. Spandits come in a variety of lengths and styles whether you’re a fan of tights, skirts, boy shorts or something in between, plus there’s a variety of hats and other accessories. Save 20% off Spandits Vinyasa Dress for Mother’s Day and remember SPANDITSLOVE saves you 10% more! Tell them Marcia sent you.
Nudu Naturals Skincare: Moms are notoriously selfless so what better time to give a gift that encourages self-care? This beauty set from Nudu Naturals contains cleanser, toner, eye cream, moisturizer and a natural facial sponge. It contains no harsh preservatives, toxic ingredients, synthetic perfumes or parabens. All products are GMO free and never tested on animals. I’ve been using this 3-step system for several weeks now and it leaves my skin feeling refreshed and radiant. Use NUDU20 to save 20% off your purchase!
NOW Foods Essential Oils & Diffuser. What mom doesn’t need some solitude to regroup and destress? Whether she’s looking to relax or get energized, Now Foods has the essential oils for her. Check out their entire collection here. I especially love their essential oil sets. Choose from Energizing, Relaxing, Romantic and Balancing.
Joggers. That’s right: All the cool moms are wearing joggers. Ok ok, maybe I just got my first pair. Better late than never right? I may be late to the party but I’m here now and I have to tell you: They’re SO comfy! I bought these fun Steph Joggers from PrAna and have barely taken them off since I got them.
What are your plans for Mother’s Day weekend? Are the moms in your life easy to shop for?
Lisa @ Mile by Mile says
Great ideas! I cant picture my mom wearing compression socks, but I think she would really like the joggers or essential oils! My mom dropped some hints this year so it wasn’t too hard to shop for her. We’ll be going over there Sunday to celebrate.
Shathiso says
My mum is the easiest person to shop for and I know she would love some compression socks as she’s battled poor circulation for years. Hard to find here but I will check online as well. My mum-in-law – now she is a lot harder!! I may have to delegate that shopping task to my husband! LOL! Such great ideas! x
Susie @ Suzlyfe says
My mom has compression socks–I introduced her to them when she was still walking. But she has majorly boring ones.
Wendy@Taking the Long Way Home says
Great ideas! I’m taking my mom to see Hair! She saw it when it first came out in the 70s. I remember her listening to the album all the time. It should be a lot of fun!
Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says
I love (and maybe live in after a run) joggers! I’ve been obsessed for a few years now. And yes, I always travel in compression socks — even for driving back & forth to my parents a gazillion times.
Mary BEth Jackson says
I am looking forward to spending the afternoon with the kids, then of course the MIL is coming over for dinner, there is always wine! 🙂 Great picks on the gifts! So I need a pair of joggers now, maybe I should tell my StitchFix stylist and I definitely want to try those Now essential oils! I hope you have a fantastic weekend!
Amy says
I’d like to think I’m a cool Mom (ha!) and I’d love those skincare products, they look fab!
Rachel Frutkin says
These are great gift ideas! Can I splurge on myself? 😉
Kimberly G says
I love jogger pants because you can dress them up, or wear them casual 🙂
My mom has been eyeing my Momentum Jewelry wraps, so I got her one for Mother’s Day. I’ll also get her some flowers and take her out to brunch on Sunday. It will be a fun day!
Deborah @ Confessions of a mother runner says
those essential oils look great! I am still on a search for something to get my own mom. Nothing like waiting for the last minute right?!
Lesley says
My mom wants to go to high tea down in Denver, and we have a reservation on Memorial Day weekend. She said she’s at the point where she doesn’t need anything, but wants to do fun events with the family.
Rachel (LittleChefBigAppetite) says
I love joggers and those look so comfy!
Michelle says
Wonderful ideas! I love my Trotter socks! So comfy!!!
Happy early Mother’s day to you! We are headed to the city to see Aladdin and just get away from reality for the weekend!
Laura says
Love these ideas! I’ve given my husband a few hints for me but am struggling a bit with something creative for my mom. I never considered compression socks for non-runners, but you’re right- so many benefits especially as women get older!
MCM Mama Runs says
I need to check out some new brands of compression socks. Those are cute!
carla says
oooooh it may be SPANDTS time for me…to me:-)
Janelle @ Run With No Regrets says
Love all your shopping ideas – the diffuser looks great!
Abby @BackatSquareZero says
I love joggers.
I am getting my mom some fun new games and wine and planning a girls game night. She loves board games.
Mackenzie says
I think this is the best Mother’s Day gift post I have seen yet! I LOVEEE these ideas! I didn’t even have them on my radar- but how perfect! Especially that Nudu naturals set- I know my mom and mother-in-law would love that! Thanks, Marcia <3
Helen Lee says
Great idea. I gave her a pair of blue socks, hoping she would like it. And at the end of the week, when we finish our work, we will host an outdoor party together <3
Zenaida says
These are great gifts for non moms like me. 🙂
