As a busy mom of three growing kids, I know how crazy life can be. I’m driving the Mom Taxi from music lessons to sports practice, then racing home in time to make sure everyone eats a healthy dinner. It’s easy to get lost in the rushing around. If you want to stay focused on what’s important– everyone growing up strong and having fun while they’re doing it– here are my gift ideas for active families.

Gift Ideas for Active Families Who Want to Sharpen Their Skills

Start simple! With a set of cones, an agility ladder, and maybe a few small hurdles, you can create backyard obstacle courses the whole family will enjoy. Kids love designing creative courses to test their skills– and watch their parents give it a try, too.

I know I’m not the only one with kids obsessed with American Ninja Warrior. If your kids also think they’re the next Kevin Bull or Jessie Graf, they need the Slackers Ninja Line. This kit is great for developing balance, strength, and muscle coordination. It’s plenty challenging for adults, too!

Gift Ideas for Active Families Who Don’t Want Their Gear All Over The House

Amiright?! I mean, we all love that everyone is involved in so many fun sports and activities. But the gear! The Gear! It’s everywhere. Try one of these gifts that will help keep your fit family organized.

Ball Claws are a clever solution to get the balls up off the floor so people don’t trip on them. These are handy in the garage, the mudroom, the back porch, or even in a kid’s bedroom. Just remember, Mom said no playing ball in the house!

Better yet, get each person their own personal locker to store their gear. You can get colors to complement your decor or to show off your favorite sports team. What a great solution to eliminate the last-minute hunt for gear as you’re trying to leave for the big game!

Bowflex SelectTech Adjustable Dumbbells are my family’s favorite piece of exercise equipment. It’s like having a whole rack of dumbbells all in one small space. The ability to quickly select just the right weight for each exercise makes these dumbbells easy to use and efficient, too. My family has been using our set for over 7 years, and they still work great.

Gift Ideas for Active Families Who Need to Eat & Drink

S’well Bottles are my absolute favorite water bottle. They come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, which means there is one to fit every personality in your family. The form factor of S’well bottles is perfect for people with small hands– kids and women– so they are easy to carry.

Thrive Market is my go-to source for all of the snacking needs of my active family of five. Their huge selection of organic and non-GMO foods gives me confidence that whatever my kids are eating is a healthy choice. From easy-to-grab-and-go bars to cereals that aren’t loaded with junk to pantry staples, Thrive Market has what I need to keep my people fueled. (And their prices are cheaper than what I can find locally– bonus!)

Blue Apron makes meal time healthy, fast, and easy! Not only do Blue Apron meal kits help you cook real food at home,they’re also a fantastic way to teach your kids about meal prepping, basic kitchen skills, and portion sizes. Give your family the gift of a home-cooked meal, even on game night.

Gift Ideas for Active Families Who Want to Know How Their Bodies Work

Who said there ever had to be a choice between brains and brawn? Make your family a double threat by being well-informed as well as super fit.

Have a daughter age 9-14? Fit 2B Girls is an online health education course that will empower your daughter to understand her body.

Gift Ideas for Active Families Who Are Maybe Just a Tiny Bit Overscheduled

Is your brain really supposed to keep track of who has practice where and when? And who has snack duty at Saturday morning’s game…or was that Sunday afternoon’s meet? You’ve got to keep yourself organized if you want to get the team where they need to be.

But I also know that finding the RIGHT calendar and planner isn’t as easy as it seems like it should be!

Got a mom who likes to be organized in an understated way? The MomAgenda is going to be right up her alley. Its businesslike approach to building a calendar system is practical yet pretty.

Need a scheduling system with a little more color and opportunity to customize? Erin Condren has all the possibilites you could ever want to mix and match to make it your own. If you have a teenager who is busy in a lot of activities, give her the tools to start being organized NOW! Teenage girls especially love all the stickers and accessories that go with journals and planners.

Now that you know where everyone is going and when and what they have to take with them, go out and have a great time! Keep up the good work, fit families!
