A Back Roller Wheel from Chirp ($40+)
Show me someone who doesn’t secretly love getting a good back stretch and massage, especially if there are a few of those satisfying ‘clicks’ that go with it when tension is released. This back roller wheel is infinitely better than using a foam roller to attempt something similar and it really does work wonders for relieving back pain and tension.
There are going to be some really lucky mums out there this year!! Happy Mother’s Day to all the adventure moms out there! 🙂
This is a huge help, thank you!! I’ve got a pretty good idea of what mom will like now 🙂
