There’s something fitness-related for everyone on your shopping list this holiday season – from techie gadgets to gift cards and, yep, socks! You can’t go wrong when you’re helping a loved one exercise.
Here are some of the sweetest treats I’m seeing this year.
- Fitness Tracker. These monitor heart rates, tally your steps, and even measure your sleep. They’re available with a range of options and at various price points, so you should be able to find just the right one.
- Wireless Earbuds. Really, how did we live without these little jewels?
- Pilates Mat. Even if your giftee doesn’t do Pilates, they’ll love having a fresh mat handy for floor exercises at home or while traveling.
- Gift Cards. Some people think this is “cheating,” while others say it makes sense. Hey, I never complain if it’s from a store I love!
- Fitness Classes or Subscriptions. These can be to brick-and-mortars or to online services.
- Massage Gun. There are models now small enough to fit in a purse, so relief is always handy!
- Meditation Apps. Headspace and Calm are among the popular options to help people start or improve their practice.
- Remember the Basics. You can’t go wrong with a water bottle or even exercise socks. Talk about the perfect stocking stuffers!
- Audible Subscription. “Reading” while exercising can be a fun way to multi-task.
- Lunch Together. Find a restaurant that specializes in a style of cooking that intrigues you – maybe a specific cuisine of a certain culture. You’ll probably pick up some cooking tips to try at home.
Shopping for fitness-related gifts is always a blast because there’s so much cool stuff out there in every price range.
Happy shopping!
