2016 Holiday Gift Guide: for your fitness-loving friends

(or yourself!)

Hi friends! Hope you’re having a wonderful morning. The holiday Gift Guide fun continues! Here are the ones I’ve posted so far this year:

Gift Guide for Men

Gift Guide for your BFF and

Gift Guide for Holiday Hostesses

This is my favorite one to put together each year, for obvious reasons. I love fitness gear, and LOVE sharing awesome picks with others. I always love to hear what you’re enjoying, too! Here are some ideas if you’re shopping for your favorite yoga friend, Orangetheory buddy, or personal trainer. These are also fantastic ideas if your family members are still asking what they should get you this year. Just send this handy link along. 🙂

2016 Fitness Gifts for the Holidays

Savasana

For the yoga lover:

A new yoga mat. This is the one I use the most, and it’s on super sale right now. I also love my La Vie Boheme mat, and always get tons of compliments on the gorgeous design.

Teeki pants. They have so many fun, unique prints, and they fit extremely well.

Spiritual Gangster apparel. I’m obsessed with this hamsa pullover, this celestial yin yang tank, and this tee. 

Mala beads. These ones are stunning.

Lotus jewelry. Alex & Ani has some gorgeous pieces, like this bracelet, and from today until the 15th, 20% of proceeds are going to support the Tennessee wildfires.

Pura Vida bracelets are hand-made in Costa Rica, and support 190 charities worldwide. The bracelets are beautiful, very inexpensive (the code HOLIDAY20 will get you 20% off), and help to provide income for artisans in Costa Rica.

For the Orangetheory and circuit-training fanatic:

New balance

New Balance sneakers. The Fresh Foam Zantes are super comfortable, supportive enough for shorter runs, and lightweight for circuit training. They’re my current everything shoe.

Lightweight tank top. These are perfect for super sweaty workouts.

Supportive and comfortable crops.

Swell

For the gym rat:

A TRX. Pretty much everyone I know who works out at the gym wants their own TRX. They are AWESOME to have at home, and extremely versatile. ($50 off right now, too!)

Fitness watch or heart rate monitor. I have a TomTom3 on the way, and can’t wait to try it out!

A S’well bottle

Wireless headphones. These are my fave. 🙂

Taco tank

For the runner:

Running tee

Funny running tank. The best part is watching people read these tanks and snicker to themselves.

Lightweight shorts

Comfy handheld water bottle

Cover the entry fee to a race they’ve been scoping out

A pretty running hat 

Moto

For barre and Pilates friends:

Sticky socks

Sassy leggings (<— gahhhh these are amazing.) You can never have too many.

Barre tank (so many good ones here!)

Pilates tank

Hoodie or jacket to wear to and from the studio. This grey one is perfect for heading to work out, or for weekends and errands.

 

Collagen

Fitness stocking stuffers:

A class pass to their favorite studio, or a fitness date to a new fitness activity you’ve been wanting to try together

A massage or spa treatment

Athletic socks (we love Balega and Bombas)

Headbands

Favorite bars, energy gels, and protein powders

Single-serve collagen. I’ve been having this every day for months now, and have noticed a huge difference in my skin and hair. You can read more about it here. 

Hair ties

Dry shampoo and mini essentials for their gym bag, like shampoo, conditioner, smoothing cream, and deodorant

So tell me friends: what’s on your fitness wish list?

Leave a comment below and I’ll pick a lucky winner (and announce in this week’s Friday Faves) to pick any of the tops from this post as their prize.

xoxo

    Headbands! Mine all mysteriously went missing

  2. Ashley Gittleson on December 13, 2016 at 11:12 am

    Anything Lulu

  3. Michelle Reiter on December 13, 2016 at 11:25 am

    definitely some colder weather running gear! My normal leggings just aren’t cutting this frigid weather here in Iowa. But the TRX suspension home set it highly intriguing me now! Awesome giveaway!

  4. Tammy C on December 13, 2016 at 11:47 am

    Shoes, shoes, and more shoes. Can never have enough!

  5. Erin on December 13, 2016 at 11:58 am

    I’ve been in the market for new gym shoes, darn growing pregnant feet!

  6. Robin on December 13, 2016 at 12:01 pm

    I’ve gone overboard in the fitness wear department lately but it feels like I can never have enough. Like that Zella zip up sweatshirt. It looks divine & I’m uber tempted despite the fact that I have so many. I maybe could use some new leg warmers though since mine are kind of stretched out.

  7. Wendy on December 13, 2016 at 12:14 pm

    Fitness gifts are the best gifts! My list contains a new water bottle and shaker bottle (I can never have too many of those). I also want an abmat and a fitness journal.

  8. Stephanie on December 13, 2016 at 12:21 pm

    I would like a new yoga mat

  9. Mary Carter on December 13, 2016 at 12:41 pm

    I have a Swell but it’s so hard to fill to the top without spilling over since you can’t see in it and it’s impossible to get ice into it because the opening is small. But it does keep water cold for like 24 hours, which is amazing.

  10. Lindsay on December 13, 2016 at 12:42 pm

    Number one on my fitness wish list are barre classes! My fave!

  11. china on December 13, 2016 at 12:42 pm

    I put massages on my list! I also put some yoga books on there to help deepen my practice.

  12. Rebecca on December 13, 2016 at 12:54 pm

    Definitely massage gift cards!

  13. Vivian on December 13, 2016 at 1:14 pm

    I would love to win the taco top

  14. Jessie R on December 13, 2016 at 1:43 pm

    I’m loving that grey jacket! It looks like the coziest thing ever.

    Warm tights and new tanks are on my list :).

  15. Amber @ Busy, Bold, Blessed on December 13, 2016 at 1:50 pm

    I really need a new water bottle! I’m still rocking a Nalgene from 10 years ago!

  16. Katie M on December 13, 2016 at 2:17 pm

    Anything LuLu or the wireless headphones, those look awesome!

  17. May on December 13, 2016 at 2:23 pm

    I would love to try collagen. I’ve been interested in it ever since you posted. 🙂

  18. Lori on December 13, 2016 at 2:45 pm

    New running shoes are on my list, as well as cute leggings…always a must! 🙂

  19. Nicole on December 13, 2016 at 2:47 pm

    I’m dying for some new running sneakers! I’m signed up for a half marathon in March and am in the market for new ones.

  20. Kaleigh on December 13, 2016 at 3:09 pm

    I am hoping for the headphones you’ve mentioned! Love the Zella sweatshirt as well… and new sneakers are always welcome! Thanks for a great giveaway!

  21. Molly on December 13, 2016 at 3:22 pm

    Could always use more leggings. Or any workout apparel for that matter. Never can have too much 😉

  22. Amanda on December 13, 2016 at 3:33 pm

    I would love to try out Lulu, but everything is so expensive!

  23. Bethany on December 13, 2016 at 4:05 pm

    The TRX is my fav! My friend and I keep saying we are going to purchase one for ourselves.

  24. Sarah on December 13, 2016 at 4:10 pm

    Those wireless headphones are definitely on my list.

  25. Vicky N. on December 13, 2016 at 5:41 pm

    I need some new jackets/hoodies for outdoor running or wearing to the gym. I love the grey one!

  26. Jessica on December 13, 2016 at 5:49 pm

    Cross country skis top my fitness list this year!

  27. Beckie on December 13, 2016 at 6:12 pm

    New sneaks as they wear out so fast!

  28. Julie on December 13, 2016 at 6:26 pm

    I’m really needing a new pair of crops!

  29. Jen on December 13, 2016 at 6:40 pm

    Thanks for the great ideas!

  30. Sara on December 13, 2016 at 6:58 pm

    I need new leggings, to go with the personal training sessions I asked for.

  31. Ashley @ A Lady Goes West on December 13, 2016 at 7:00 pm

    Great list! A Swell bottle, new yoga mat and yoga towel and new big Lulu sweatshirt are all on my list. But I’d also love some conversation tees!

  32. kelli on December 13, 2016 at 7:13 pm

    i love seeing your gift round ups! i always pin them to my “gift” folder for reference in the future.

  33. Dale on December 13, 2016 at 9:04 pm

    Love your list, especially the “I’m just here for the savasana” tee 🙂

  34. Maeghan on December 14, 2016 at 2:06 am

    I would love a new pair of cross-training shoes or a few new sets of free weights. Fitness related items are easily my favorite gift to receive 🙂

  35. Lauren on December 14, 2016 at 2:44 am

    I am asking for a gym bag to make it easier to shower after my workout and head to work! I also wouldn’t mind a hydroflask water bottle 🙂 thanks for the great gift guides!

  36. Elizabeth H on December 14, 2016 at 4:54 am

    I would love a new GPS watch with heart rate in the watch itself (rather than a chest strap) but my current one still works well, so it’s one of those things that’s hard to justify!

  37. Tara | Treble in the Kitchen on December 14, 2016 at 6:16 am

    This is such an awesome list 🙂 As a fellow fitness lover, I can personally say that I would LOVE any of these items!

  38. Melissa Z on December 14, 2016 at 6:41 am

    This list is amazing. I’m hoping to find a new water bottle and a pair of cross training/everything sneakers under the tree this year!

  39. Jessica on December 14, 2016 at 7:26 am

    I need a new pair of running sneakers and I would mind a new sports bra and or crops!!! Great list!

  40. ErikaMC on December 14, 2016 at 7:29 am

  46. Sarah on December 14, 2016 at 10:40 am

    A running watch! Specifically a Garmin… they’re expensive but I know I would love one and get so much use out of it!

  47. Alyssa on December 14, 2016 at 11:58 am

    I love all of these ideas but am eyeing a new heart rate monitor, leggings (you can never have too many) and conversation tanks!

  48. natalie on December 14, 2016 at 12:01 pm

    I need headbands for running!
