This post is all about 37 Genius Sports Mom Gifts!
I think we can all agree that our kids are the most important people in our lives! We’d do anything for them, including driving them to practices 5 nights a week and sitting at weekend tournaments in the 95 degree heat, pouring rain, and freezing temps, just to watch them enjoy playing their favorite sports.
And I admit, I love watching them play as much as they enjoy doing it. It’s honestly one of my very favorite parts of parenting.
And we all know that there is really no off season anymore! These youth sports span multiple seasons and weather conditions.
So, what better gift idea for the sports mom (or dad or grandparents) in your life to make these youth sporting events more comfortable and enjoyable!
See the list below for the best items! And here are some awesome ways to present them!
#1: Buy the backpack and then pack it with a bunch of stuff on this list!
#2: Most of the items on this list would be great stocking stuffers! Such a great and easy way to fill up a Christmas stocking!
#3: These also make great gifts for grandparents who come to watch all the games!

Sports Mom Gifts : Everyday Items
Trust me, you will want and NEED a sturdy and comfortable backpack to carry all the supplies and snacks from your car to the field. If you have little kids who don’t like to walk much or just a TON of stuff, you may even want to bring a wagon to pull it all with!
I love this versatile Adidas one that is unisex, has padded straps, and thick sturdy zippers.
You may also like:
Keep the whole first aid kit in your car and a separate pack of band aids in your bag. I PROMISE you that someone on your child’s team will need a bandaid or more nearly everything single game.
If your child plays in tournaments, you will likely be doing a lot of walking. From the car to the field and around the hotels and towns you are staying in if it’s a travel tourny.
Tip: Get a pair in your team’s colors!
You’ll need wipes for hands, faces, dirty bleachers, etc. Especially if you have any younger kids with you! Keep a pack in your bag and another one in your car.
Can’t go anywhere without a mask these days! Get them in your team’s colors from your school, PTA, a friend with a Cricut or buy online!

You’re gonna want one for your own bag, your car, and your kid’s equipment bag.
HOT ITEM! A must-have and great stocking stuffer idea!
You will use your phone more than you ever think you will when at your kid’s sports! In the car for directions to the away field, and in between innings or at halftime to check your emails. Your other kids will want to use it to watch YouTube. And your scorekeeper may even use an app to keep track of the game which you can follow on your phone. And some areas may not have WIFI and your battery will be drained fast!
Basically, you can expect your phone to be used A LOT during a long game day or tournament and you’ll want to make sure you still have a battery for the drive home! Get yourself a portable charger for your bag!
Hot, cold, windy, raining- the weather doesn’t matter. You will always need Chapstick at games. Your lips will be dry from the cheering!
Fill it with ice water or a mixed drink, no one will ever know the difference!
You’re gonna need more snacks and waters than you ever thought possible! Especially if you have other kids with you. Plus, with Covid, many snack bars are not operating so you will be left hungry and thirsty if you don’t pack your own things. Keep a few snack bags and bottles of water in your backpack and a lot of extras in the car!
Gift Idea #4: Get your sports mom (wife) a stocking full of her favorite chips, gum, bottled juice, and candy.
Sports Mom Gifts : Cold Weather
Sports
I was recently freezing at my son’s fall ball game at the end of October when I heard another mom talking about her heated chair. My head whipped around so fast to ask her about it that I nearly hurt myself, lol. I immediately texted my husband in the dugout with a link so he could get it for me for Christmas.
(Note: Make sure to buy the power pack too)
You may also like:
My feet are always cold in the winter. I wear slipper and heavy socks 24/7 if I’m at home. Uggs are the only shoes that keep my toes warm outside!
Get the warmest, longest winter coat you can afford! You will be sitting outside for HOURS and not moving so you’re bound to get cold. Especially if it’s windy!
These would make a great gift for your mom too!
I prefer mittens over gloves because you can put a little hand warmer packet in them and you’ll actually be able to feel your fingers for the drive home!
This is the perfect accessory to sport your teams colors or logo while keeping warm. The one I linked above comes in several color options.
These are a must, even with Uggs. Fuzzy socks and Uggs are the only thing that keep my feet warm outside.
Get these for your mittens! They work! These are also a great stocking stuffer idea for just about anyone! My dad has been getting them for us for every Christmas since I was in high school.
Having a hot drink REALLY helps keep you warm and not miserable when the wind and 40 degree temps are bearing down on you in the bleachers.
Sports Mom Gifts : Rainy Weather Sports
These are both cute and easy to walk in. I’ve tried the tall rubber rain boots and while they look good, they make my toes cold and are so high that they’re hard to walk in (I’m 5’4).
Get a big umbrella because chances are, your spouse/kids/friends will want to share!
These may look kinda silly, but they work! Get one in your teams colors!
Rain Jackets are cuter than a poncho and great to have when it’s just light rain. (Use the poncho for heavy rain to protect your legs too.) The one I linked above comes in multiple color options so you can get one that matches your team!
Sports Mom Gifts : Hot Weather Sports
You’ll love a chair with a built in shade if a tent is too much to carry. My friend has this chair and we call it her Cadillac, haha. This is on my list for next summer’s baseball tournaments!
A tent is the ultimate way to stay safe from the sun. Just be prepared to share it! I like this one for its easy set-up and extra shade panel on the back.
You’re gonna need to put sunscreen on throughout the day if you’re at a tournament. I recommend starting with a lotion for the best coverage and then keep the spray kind on hand for touch-ups, especially on your shoulders.
The one I linked above is my favorite because it’s not sticky or greasy like a lot of sprays are.
Any type of grass field you are on will be full of bugs. If they tend to bother you, be sure to keep some spray in your bag.
Personally, I like to get the kind with Deet because ticks with their nasty Lyme disease are everywhere here. But, I’ve heard the oil and natural ones work well for most bugs too.
Baseball caps are great to keep your hair out of your eyes and the sun off your face.
The one I linked above comes in many color options so you can match your team!
A Personal Favorite! I love slides!!!
If you read my blog on a regular basis, you’ll notice that I put slides in nearly every gift list I do. They are literally the most comfortable shoe ever and will keep you cooler than sneakers on the hot hot days.
Get a multi-pack and have a cooling towel for yourself and each of your kids. When you’re on the go, just pour more water on it when it starts to lose effectiveness. They really help to keep you cool!
A small battery operating fan is nice little gadget to have, both for keeping cool and keeping bugs away. If you have a stroller aged child that will be coming with you to games, this will make a world of difference in keeping them cool, especially if you are trying to get them to nap at the game!
A cooler is an absolute must if you are at an all-day tournament in the sun. Get one on wheels with a handle or a backpack kind so it’s easy to carry.
The one I linked above is great because it has wheels and a handle, will hold ice for up to 5 days, and can be used as an extra seat!
If it’s sunny, you need sunglasses to see the game, you just do. I like aviators but pick whatever kind you love best!
Just For Fun
Everyone who attends multiple games a year needs several shirts! Your school or PTA may be selling them as a fundraiser. If so, I recommend buying from them! But, if you are looking for something more general, here are some ideas!
You may also like:
If the sports mom in your life is a DIYer, get her a Cricut! There is literally no limit to the amount of things she can personalize! Shirts, sweats, water-bottles, car stickers, etc.
This could be really fun to pump your kids up with! Just don’t heckle anyone!
Up your cheering game for any sports with your pompoms in your teams colors! If you have other kids with you, they will love to use these too!
The ones that I linked above come in many color options so you can get the colors of your team!
If you want to be EXTRA! Lol
The one I linked is obviously a tiger but just search your home teams mascot in Amazon if you want to do this. It would be pretty funny and the kids would love it!
