Moms are amazing, which is why each year there is an entire day dedicated to them on the second Sunday in May every year: Mother's Day. A quick history lesson: President Woodrow Wilson signed the measure to officially establish Mother's Day way back in 1914. So this year marks the 107th year the tradition has been going on. And before you have to check a calendar, Mother's Day 2021 is on Sunday, May 9. (You're welcome.) That leaves you plenty of time to find your mom the perfect gift. (No procrastinating this year, guys.)
And if your mom is a fitness fanatic, one of the best gifts you can give her is some new workout swag. Depending on her activity of choice, she may be pining over some new running shoes, a yoga mat, or new headphones. And if she is a big hiker, she may be interested in a smart watch with GPS. Whatever wellness lifestyle she may prefer, giving her a gift that will benefit her health and favorite wellness activity is bound to score you some extra brownie points. (And if you're tight on cash, here are 37 of our cheapest picks for Mother's Day 2021 that she'll definitely cherish.)
