Here we are, five days before Christmas and if you’re like me you’ve had all of your shopping done for a month now. Yeah, and
Before we go too far, I want to make it clear that I receive no kickbacks or anything from the makers of these products. They are just things I like and decided to share.
Well, here are a few of my favorite things that I hope will be helpful as you search for that perfect gift for the runner in your life. Sing it with me:
Tutus with wine glasses
Shoes great for running
Bottles of great wine
And a necklace that’s
A funny T-shirt and the laughter it brings
These are a few of my favorite things.
Wine Glass Tutu
OK, tell me this isn’t the cutest tutu you’ve ever seen. I got mine from goneforarun.com and I’ve worn it for two races so far. To tell the truth, I wear it around the house too. It’s just too adorable to leave in a drawer. They have a lot of other great stuff at goneforarun.com too, so check out the site for other ideas.
Saucony Running Shoes
Ask 100 runners what the best running shoe is and you will get 100 different answers. Picking out the right running shoe is personal for everyone. Make sure what ever shoe you get feels good, is well made, and of course looks fabulous!
I run in the Saucony Women’s Guide ISO 2. They are seriously the best shoe I’ve found for me. Maybe they’ll work for you too
FitVine Wine
It’s no secret that I like my wine. The day of my Chicago race I stumbled into a wine shop. The owner’s name was Michael and he had so much knowledge about everything in his store. When I told him why I was in town, he told me about FitVine. This stuff is delicious and because it has less sugar and no sulfites, it’s good for you! I mean, that’s what Michael said and he would not lie about wine.
Silver Shoe Charm Necklace
Sometimes you just have to give yourself a gift. When I came across this charm and necklace, I immediately loved it and decided that I deserved it. It’s small and light enough to wear while running, which is kind of the point. Right?
Give this to the runner you love and then buckle in, buddy. They’re going to show just how much they love it…and you!
Funny T-Shirts
It should be no surprise to anyone who knows me or who has read my posts that I am, what experts refer to as, a smart ass. I throw around sarcasm the way lonely men throw dollar bills at strippers. Showing off my sarcastic side when I run is easiest with a funny T-shirt. I have several of them. You can find them all over. This one is one of my favorites, though. Mostly because it’s true.
So there you go. I hope these gave you some good ideas for what to get the runner in your life. Let me know in the comments if you have any other ideas. Oh, and…
