Its like having us, your friends, texting you what we have found useful or hope to buy for ourselves, our husbands, the coaches, and our wrestlers. As in, all must-have items to keep you cozy, supported, and fully during wrestling season.



We put this together for you guys, because making the wrestling journey a whole lot comfier is what friends are for! Lets get started with gifts for the best person in the wrestling community... YOU.




Portable Chargers/Power Banks:

In our Checking In epsiode we talked about the imprtance of having portable chargers. With TrackWrestling, recording your kids matches, and keeping littles (and yourself) occupied between matches, your phone battery is sure to dwindle. We like the portable chargers without the chords, but if chords are your thing this Anker Charger can charge a laptop. Its not pictured above, but its perfect if youre charging multiple devices.


Cordless Chargers/Power Banks:

Affordable:

This Anker under phone plug in charger is a perfect non bulky, cordless way to give your phone a bit of juice. It keeps your phone from dying and its fairly inexpensive. We both have a version of this, in white and love it.


Treat Yourself:

A Anker power bank that doubles as a stand. Yessenia has this charger without the stand and wishes she wouldve gotten the one with the stand. The magnet is powerful and stays on. It charges pretty fast. The only downside is that you have to take your case off to charge.


Chairs

Affordable:

These chairs theyre basic but they do the job and are study, which is important. But honestly, once you have the Yeti chair, there is no going back to other chairs.


Treat Yourself:

If your finances allow, this Yeti chair is pretty comftable, espcially for all day tournaments. The woven chair part is comfy, and the chair is sturdy, plus the bag you put it in has backpack straps which makes it easy to carry. Plus you cant go wrong with the Yeti warranty.

The Wonderfold Wagon is an investment, but if you have small children and go to zoos, picnics, and other events in a ddition to Wrestling, this may be the right investment for you. The amenities are endless.
