Flowers,
candy, handmade cards, breakfast in bed. It’s all a nice treat on
mother’s day, but what about a gift that keeps on giving, and that is
just for her. Chances are mom is so busy running around after hubby and
kids that she doesn’t get much time for herself (sound familiar?), if she likes to
exercise or has mentioned starting back up again, help her along with
one of these healthy mother’s day gifts.
Gift
certificates are always a great gift. Pick one up for a gym, yoga, or
other activity which she’ll enjoy doing. Don’t just hand her the gift
certificate, make sure you include as much information as possible like
class schedule. If it’s yoga and she’s new to yoga, get her a yoga mat
to go along with the gift certificate, it’ll be added incentive to just
do it.
New
workout gear. Have her sneakers seen better days? Is her sweatshirt
dated and stained? Get her some new gear, but save the receipts or get
gift receipts just in case she needs to return for a new size or style.
Not sure what sneakers to get, get the same brand and size she had but
the most updated model, and make sure she can return (not just exchange)
them.
A
shiny, new gadget. Sometimes we just need a fun new toy to get us going
like a new iPod or a Nike Fitness Monitor that lets you track distance,
pace, calories burned and more.
What do you think about getting fitness gear for mother’s day?
