Whether it’s a speed walk, day hike, or a days-long trek into the Oregon wilderness, these lightweight but somehow still warm socks will keep your mama comfy throughout—we’re talking padding in all the right places—not to mention that PNW treeline looks woodsy-cute when paired with hiking boots.

This one is gonna set you back a little more than a pair of socks, but for the mom who loves to hit the pavement, this swanky device tracks not only workout history but also analyzes workout progress so they can stay on top of their game. But the best part? It stores up to 500 songs, so she has her running soundtrack and fitness tracking all in one place. That means your mum can count steps to Amine or monitor their heart rate for every Reptalians song. Sweet!
