Continuing our curated Mother’s Day Gift Guide series (see Minimalist & Creative Mom gift guides), let’s set our eyes on the sporty mom. You may have grown up working out with your mom, or maybe sports was a big way that your family connected. Maybe your mom just started picking up on hobbies that keep her active, like running or yoga, either way, we have curated things that you can shop for to celebrate your Athleisure Connoisseur mom this Mother’s Day. As the day quickly approaches, it’s important to really think about your mom’s interests and really notice her for the human that she is. Your mom may have been your superhero growing up, but she’s a human at the end of the day.

This is for the moms who are never not taking up a new hobby, the moms who train for marathons, and the moms who never let go of their personal goals once they’ve made up their minds. Think of these as some gift ideas that can fill up your mom’s day with utter joy because you know exactly who she is.

Take a look below at some athletic-chic Mother’s Day gifts!
