Baseline Mother’s Day gift guide: Show your appreciation with 7 special presents

With Mother’s Day (May 8) right around the corner, now is a good time to think about ways to show Mom just how important she is to you.

Whether you’re shopping for your mom, mother-in-law, sister or even a close friend who just had a child, we’ve got you covered. Baseline has rounded up the best gifts for the tennis-lover in your circle, and we’ve got something for everyone on your list:

The MOM Box — Courtgirl

• Price: From $95 USD
• Website: courtgirl.com

For the Mom in your life that loves the game and all its hallmarks, this gift box from Courtgirl is a great choice. It’s packed with fun and luxurious tennis-themed accessories and essentials, including a water bottle, a custom “❤️ M🎾M” monogrammed towel and a gold racquet pen and journal for taking notes on the competition.

There are plenty of ways to customize this gift box, and it’s available for shipping until May 1st.

Tennis Pouch — Mark & Graham x Courtgirl

• Price: $49 USD
• Website: markandgraham.com

Another great gift comes from Courtgirl’s recent collaboration with lifestyle brand Mark & Graham. The four-piece capsule includes this colorful pouch which is perfect for keeping all your small essentials organized, and it fits a phone, sunscreen, cosmetics, keys and more.

The pouch is made from an easy-to-clean nylon fabric and can be embroidered with a monogram (additional $12) for a personal touch.

Court Rival High-Rise Skirt with Extended Liner — Lululemon

• Price: $98 USD
• Website: lululemon.com

Lululemon’s new foray into tennis has so far been a resounding success, but they’ve been big players in the fitness apparel game for a whole lot longer. While there's a chance Mom might already own some of the brand’s cult-classic yoga leggings, their new tennis-specific collection features a few standout items that can make a great addition to her on-court wardrobe too.

The Court Rival High-Rise Skirt comes with the option of an extended liner, and I personally can’t recommend this version enough. The longer liner adds coverage for every move, features multiple pockets, and takes the skirt’s function far beyond the court. It’s also perfect to wear for running—or even just running errands.

Baller Hat — Lululemon

• Price: $38 USD
• Website: lululemon.com

Another nice pick from Lululemon, this lightweight cap features an interior mesh fabric sweatband to wick moisture and help keep you dry. Throw it on after a match or on your way to the store—there’s both style and function here.

The Ball Boy — Fenix Sportier

• Price: $180 USD
• Link: fenixsportier.com

Ever since I profiled this L.A.-based, woman-owned sports accessories company in a recent Style Points column, I can’t stop thinking about their luxe, elevated take on tennis gear.

The Ball Boy is a perfect example: it can hold a fresh can of tennis balls, three pickle balls, a handful of golf balls and tees or even a water bottle. It’s also made with fine Italian perforated leather, comes in a variety of colorways and it can hook onto Mom’s purse or sports bag for a touch of luxury.

Front Row Bag — Fenix Sportier

• Price: $300 USD
• Link: fenixsportier.com

If Mom wants a bag with even more versatility, the Front Row Bag from Fenix Sportier is an easy pick. The cross-body makes it easy to store on-the-go essentials, and it’s also stadium compliant so it will soon become her go-to accessory for going to watch some tennis matches—and football games, concerts and more.

Hypervolt Go 2 — Hyperice

• Price: $199 USD
• Website: hyperice.com

This one was flagged by Jon Levey in his beyond the equipment basics piece, and it’s also been one of my own favorite recent purchases. “Whether before a match or a workout, just a few minutes with the Go 2 can relieve tension, loosen up muscles and optimize performance,” Levey wrote.

Hyperice’s new massage gun is lightweight and portable—perfect for stashing away in a racquet bag. It’s not only a great addition to Mom’s pre- or post-match routine, it’s also a treat after a long day of work to soothe sore muscles.
