Gift shopping for the people we love is a lot of fun, but it can also be a bit tricky when the ones we’re shopping for have very particular tastes. While gift certificates are always a good backup option, we prefer to give something more personal when it comes to the people we’re closest to. In this case, it can be helpful to choose gifts that relate to the person’s hobbies and interests.
Many of our friends and family are avid runners, and as runners ourselves, we’ve discovered some gifts that we can say with confidence they’ll be thrilled to unwrap this holiday season. If you’ve got a runner in your life, here are some gift ideas to consider.
She’s Birdie Alarm
She’s Birdie was created with women in mind, though these personal safety alarms make a great gift option for anyone in the habit of going out for solo runs, especially at night. It’s easy to use—just remove the pin and press the button to activate a loud siren and flashing light.
Koala Clip
Women’s clothes are notorious for not having pockets, which is especially problematic in situations like running when it’s not possible to carry a bag. Koala Clip pouches are designed to carry small items like your phone and keys and fit snugly into the back of a sports bra or drawstring waistband.
Medal Display by YorkSignShop
Competitive runners are sure to love this race bib and medal holder from YorkSignShop on Etsy. The sign itself is a chalkboard where runners can record their best times next to two clips to display recent bibs. At the bottom of the sign are 10 hooks that can hold up to 10 pounds each.
