    Under $20 Stocking Stuffers for Runners

    It’s that time of the year again!  The panic of “omg what do I get her/him” is settling in and you’re starting to lose it as they go “oh anything is fine!” Or if you want to send this to a loved one as a hint…  I am sharing my under $20 stocking stuffers for runners/ runners gift ideas!

    under $20 gifts runners

     

    • A Petzl headlamp for the dark winter season $16 to make sure you or your friend can see what’s ahead of them.

    • UD’s Fastdraw  – the little pouch is perfect to stick your key, credit card, or some energy chews in. I find that the these bottles have less of a plastic taste/scent to them compared to the FuelBelt that I had to return.

    • Brooks Women’s Infiniti Beanie, Nightlife collection – reflective gear so stay visible at night!

    • Heat Factory Large Hand and Body Warmer, Pack of 10 $10 via Amazon – an easy way and disposable way to keep your hands and body warm while waiting for the race to start! I have the reusable and disposable ones at home and they are amazingggggg. They’re also great to rub on your ITB and calves before a race on a cool day if you or your runner friend is prone to injuries in those areas.

    • SUPER cute “a toast to your PB” card to congratulate the runner(s) in your life on their personal bests! $4.95

    • Trigger Point Performance Grid Mini Compact Foam Roller, Black $22 (2 more than 20! Sorry).  I have a Trigger point roller and I wouldn’t trade it in for the world!  It’s worth paying the little extra money for TP as it’s a trust brand with great quality products and has stood the test of time.

    I tried to stay away from edibles as everyone has a different taste so unless you know the person well enough to know what does or does not upset their stomach, I would stay clear of that!

    So what’s on your wishlist this Christmas?  I would love to know if you have any more products under $20 to recommend.  Do you have anything on the list?

      Im asking for a headlamp this year! Even though its pretty well lit where I run but it will be good to have in the winter. I love my trigger point foam roller!! I have two and they’re the best!

        I have a pretzel headlamp (that I “borrowed”) from my BF and it is amazing! All those weird potholes I would have totally fallen into if it wasn’t for the lamp!

      My only running item (aside from more, more, more everything! haha) is super-warm gloves/mittens/whatever! That is my one weak-point in my sub-zero strategy :)

          Thanks Carmy – I actually have the Under Armour ‘Extreme Coldgear’ gloves … those are only good to a certain point, and are the heaviest thing from UA. :( I know my fingers get cold easily (makes me feel old, but it has always been this way)/

              That is actually what I did on our first sub-zero morning, wore my mid-weight gloves inside my ‘shoveling gloves’ and it was great. Thanks again!

              I seriously do not look forward to sub-zero running! LOL. We just got hit by a pile of snow ):

      Love these gift ideas!! I was actually looking for a head lamp earlier this week — I don’t get to see the sun because of work, so the only time I can go running at home is at night. Safety is definitely important :)

      This reminds me that I need to check the battery on my headlamp. And also find it…

      Dangit, my girlfriend asked if there were any running stocking stuffers I’d want and I told her running stuff was too expensive. Maybe there’s still time to show her this blog post…

          I could really go for the headlamp, but I may try and convince her to get a more expensive one. Price doesn’t matter, if it fits in a stocking it’s a stocking stuffer, dangit.

      The hand warmers are an awesome idea. Very simple, but very effective. My hands get ridiculously cold during the winter. Another good, somewhat cheap idea is yak tracks if you live in an area where there is a lot of snow and ice.

      Another awesome gift for runners right at $20 is a Runners On The Go membership, (shameless plug) it helps runners do more of their passion for the same money by getting them great deals on running related expenses.

      We offer a free trial membership at http://blog.runnersonthego.com/save-money-on-running-and-fitness-related-expenses/ if anyone wants to test drive it.
