Looking for present ideas for a mum of three boys who play football. She spends a lot of time at the weekend watching games in all weather. Any suggestions?

Hand warmer pebble, heated gilet if you want to spend more?

Heated socks

Pocket snacks for her (graze do nice ranges)
deffo those heated hand warmers that are reuseable. A big bag for dirty shoes for her boot. A boot buddy for cleaning everyone’s shoes.

Contigo flask, hand warmers, fleecy socks

A mini hoover for the car - especially if the boys play on Astro.

One of those fold up fishing chairs with a cup holder in the arm rest.

As a mum who spends many hours watching my dc play sport all weathers outside, I’m not sure Id want a gift that relates to it!

However presuming you are right and she would like something like this:

New travel cup
I love my Barbour woollen hat
Leather gloves
Neck warmer/scarf
Sunglasses- worn surprisingly often. The glare on a sunny winter morning can be strong.
Hot chocolate/flavoured coffee set.

mum of footballers here - TBH I’d probably prefer a present that’s to do with me and my interests rather than about something I have to do for my kids.

Also she may be well kitted up already - the football parents I know have most of the stuff mentioned on this thread like a chair, warm clothing, nice cup etc.
