What do you get the people who dealt with you through that obnoxious phase you had when you were two, and then again when you were seven, and then again between the ages of 12 through roughly 19, and well into your current level of adult obnoxiousness?

Perhaps no single item, no matter how expensive, could make up for all that. But the least you could do this holiday season is to give a gift that helps your parents modernize their athleisure collection. Below, some of the best mom- or dad-friendly items from this weekend’s Black Friday sales.
