“The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, with visions that St. Nicholas soon would be there.” Visions of socks and sunglasses and Gu and Chews danced in their heads as they drifted off to sleep dreaming of the gear they might use on their Christmas morning run.
While everyone on your list might not dream of running gear and finish lines, we’ve got stocking stuffers every athlete will be sure to love.
1. SUNGLASSES
Fun colors, no slip, no bounce, polarized and under $30. Goodr sunglasses check all the boxes for the perfect stocking stuffer!
2. SOCKS
Most people think getting socks in their stocking ranks right up there with coal and sticks, until they find a running sock they love. New running socks are as exciting as a new pair of shoes for most runners! With targeted support and cushioning, plus technical fabric to help prevent blisters, the right sock can be the difference between a great run and a not so great run.
3. RUNNING LIGHTS & SAFETY GEAR
Lights aren’t just for Christmas trees! Reflective gear and clip on lights are tools to keep a runner safe when out on the road in the dark.
4. ANTI-CHAFING CREAM
The secret weapon of seasoned runners, Body Glide is a race day essential. No one wants to be distracted from their run with chafing and irritated skin. Slide some Body Glide in their stocking and help them stay in stocked up!
5. NUTRITION
Chews, gels and bars in every flavor you can think of is kind of like a candy store for runners! Grab a variety of nutritional supplements to stuff in their stocking and they’ll be fueled up for a long run long after the gifts are gone.
6. MASSAGE BALL
A deep tissue massage from a 3” ball? Yes please! This is the tool they’ll love to find in their stocking to help relieve tired and achy feet.
7. NUUN
Everyone knows the shoes are the most important piece of equipment for a runner, but one could argue that socks are a close second. Technical running socks wick away the moisture, offer targeted support and cushion and help keep feet healthy. No one ones to get socks for Christmas…until they get Feetures in their stocking!
8. GARMIN ACCESSORIES
While it might not seem like the flashiest gift in the stocking, an extra charger could just be the gift they will use the most! Keep one by the bed, one in the bathroom, one in the gym bag and have a charger ready to go whenever you need it. Or how about a replacement watch band?
9 & 10. PHYSICAL OR E-GIFT CARD
Give the gift of choice. You know she loves to run, you know Fit2Run has all the gear a runner could want, then a Fit2Run gift card is the perfect fit. Purchase a Physical Gift Card to have a Gift Card mailed to the giftee, or an eGift Card to have one Emailed to the giftee.
