The perfect gift for the active traveler

Mother’s Day is the perfect time to update your mom’s wardrobe with clothes that have plenty of storage space, meet all your fitness needs, and look great.

Mothers are always active, but most of the time their energy is channeled into caring for others. Whether you’re an active beach mom, attending a fitness class or playing a sport, you deserve to take care of yourself while on vacation. Here are my picks for exercise and wellness gifts that are perfect for travel and meet all of mom’s vacation needs.

The perfect clothes for yoga and pilates

When you wear Reformer Pilates training clothes, you feel like you’re wrapped in silky comfort. Incredibly, these buttery soft fabrics are made from 100% recycled industrial waste. It looks small when you receive it, but it stretches perfectly to your body, as if it was made to fit your body. Sports bras are comfortable enough to wear all day long without feeling constricting or constricting. No tags or uncomfortable pressure to irritate sensitive skin. Plus, it’s super comfortable and stylish training wear, so moms will love training too.

best athletic socks

If you’ve ever dealt with blisters, you know how important socks are. Feetures makes socks that are soft, form-fitting, and have a grip in the heel to keep the socks from slipping down when mom is doing high-intensity workouts. Additional padding is incorporated into the toe area, heel, and arch, and the socks are marked with left and right markings to let you know that cushioning is a priority. Choose the level of thickness based on your shoe and comfort.

Great shorts for cycling and general play

Born Primitive’s Eccentric Shorts are bike shorts that can transition into fitness center workouts and classes. The soft fabric hugs your thighs without riding up while squatting or cycling. Side hip pockets are perfect for your cell phone or hotel key card. Unlike other shorts that create “muffin thighs”, these shorts fully cover the thighs without constricting, and have comfortable elastic around the waist so moms can breathe easily.

The perfect sports bra for active moms

If there’s ever a company that thinks about everything when it comes to bras, it’s SHEFIT. The Ultimate Sport She Bra can be worn over the head or unzipped in the front, and the wide, durable Velcro straps allow for multiple adjustments so moms can get the perfect fit. Masu. The ability to change both strap length and band width is revolutionary, and the soft straps have no uncomfortable or unsightly buckles. The front zipper looks like a design element. It matches the bra and also has top and bottom pockets for storing zippers. This bra offers medium support, has a crossback style, and comes in multiple colors.

Athletic sneakers perfect for moms

To accommodate different price points, we recommend two options here. For less than $50, the NORTIV 8 Air Plush Women’s Lightweight Athletic Sneakers are amazing. They feel like much more expensive shoes, offer great support, and have features like reflective strips and anti-slip soles. I personally like it, especially the price. On Cloud’s Cloudflyer 4 is lightweight and perfect for travel. At around $170, these shoes are literally walking on clouds, and the fact that they come in a variety of sizes is a bonus for comfort. The segmented rubber sole provides excellent shock absorption and is perfect for balance and good traction. The shoes are breathable, have a comfortable inner lining and dry quickly.

The perfect hoodie for working out and traveling

Lululemon’s Scuba Full-Zip Hoodie is incredibly good-looking and stylish, which is something you can’t really say about a hoodie. Perfect for before or after a workout, this ultra-comfy zip-up features thumbholes and deep pockets to keep you warm and cozy. It’s even more functional, with an inside pocket that can hold mom’s cell phone or a zipper pull that can be used as a hair tie in an emergency. But this hoodie is also chic, so you can wear it to most outings and even dinners.

best all round backpack

Tumi has received a lot of press and it is well paid. The Selina Backpack is particularly impressive, with pockets for everything, padded adjustable straps, a trademarked TUMI tracer to help reunite lost bags with their owners, and a bag for mom. It features a free monogramming service that can be customized. The durability of this bag means you can take it anywhere, and the multiple storage options accommodate all your sports and travel needs.

The perfect swimsuit for training

Not all swimsuits are created equal. If your mom is serious about swimming, she needs a reliable suit. The SwimZip suit is just the ticket. I like halter tops and full-coverage bottoms, but no matter what mom style you choose, they’re made with seamless material that blocks 98 percent UVA and UVB, has 4-way stretch for easy movement, and is tag-free. I would choose a suit that suits you. It prevents rashes from rubbing, is made of chlorine-resistant fabric, and dries quickly, so your luggage won’t get wet during the final soak.

The perfect bag for wet or dirty clothes

After a week of training, wet swimsuits, and smelly activewear, it can be overwhelming to pack your bags to go home. STNKY washable laundry bags solve that problem by trapping odors and bacteria. Mom can use it as a laundry bag during vacation, and when packing, it can be used to separate dirty and clean clothes in the luggage. You don’t even have to touch the dirty things when you get home. Just unzip the bottom, turn the bag inside out, and voila! The laundry bag becomes a wash bag.
