Are You Buying Gifts For Your Mudder?

A few years ago, if you asked the question "Are you buying gifts for your mudder?" the other person might have thought you were mispronouncing the word mother. Who would have thought that people actually wanted to go in the mud on purpose? Now there are events called mudders which involve intense outdoor activity in often muddy conditions.  If you are buying gifts for a person who participates in marathons that include mudding, from buying mudder apparel online to creating a gift basket, here are some ideas that might help you as you shop.

Mudder Apparel Online 

Start by cleverly finding out the sizes you need to buy for the gift recipient. For example, if you are buying mudder tights, find out the size of regular slacks or jeans that the recipient wears. That's the same size you'll need to select when you buy the mudder tights online. The same goes for mudder tops. Just find out if you need to buy a small, medium, or large size. 

The fabric for mudder apparel is constructed in a way that moves with the body for sports. In addition, consider selecting clothes that have words like breathable fabric, quick drying, comfortable, and machine washable. Think of the style of the mudder apparel you want to buy. For example, you might choose a camouflage design or just a solid black color. Consider buying the camouflage design for either the top or the bottom and then buying a solid color for the other item. 

A Gift Basket 

Find out when the next mudder events will be held in your area. There will more than likely be a cost involved. If so, consider buying a place for the recipient of your gift to participate in a special mudder event. Besides the mudder apparel that you select online, think of also buying a special metal thermal water bottle that has the recipient's name on it. A variety of nutritious snacks would probably be a very welcome addition to the gift basket. Also, think of including a small picture frame that might hold a picture of the recipient all covered with mud. 

Besides the mudder apparel and the other items that you include in your gift basket, consider writing a note that includes your best wishes for a great race. And, include your admiration for those who love to love to get in the mud on purpose.
