Welcome to my last holiday gift guide of 2016! If you’re still shopping for gifts, check out my “Gift Guide for Fit Folks” and my “Gift Guide for Mostly Everyone Else.” And now, stocking stuffers (or Hanukkah goodies)! I’ve tested out and used SO many awesome products this year. Without further ado, awesome stocking stuffers for the fit folks and runners in your life! Oh, and I have some great giveaways, too. Read to the end and enter to win!
If you ever read this blog, you know I love my energy bars and hydration products. These are great stocking stuffers – healthy and practical! You can head to Whole Foods, REI or even better buy online from Finds’ fave The Feed and get $5 off with this link. I love The Feed because you can try single items or flavors to test all kinds of new products. What would please a runner more than some new energy bars and fuels? A variety pack!

[US only, must be 18 years of age or older and void where prohibited.] Giveaway runs through 12/29. Winner will be selected and notified on 12/30.
Caffeinated Goodies! RunGum/ Essential Mints/ Good Day Chocolates – Caffeine is fuel, right? I am obsessed with Run Gum performance gum (review). I also loved checking out all of Good Day Chocolate’s “Chocolate with Benefits” (review) and I have a “Chocolate with Energy” to share with a lucky reader. I was recently sent some Essential Mints to test – 5 mints has the caffeine of a cup of coffee. I have a variety of flavors of Run Gum, a tin of Essential Mints and a Chocolate with Energy for a lucky reader, too. Go to the Rafflecopter below to enter!

SOS Rehydrate is a great sports drink with “a laser focus on hydration.” This fast-acting electrolyte replacement drink was developed to prevent and fight mild to moderate dehydration from active lifestyles. It has 50% more electrolytes and 75% less carbohydrates than other sports drinks. Each box has 5 sticks for $7.99. Great stocking stuffer for your fave athlete!

* There are too many other awesome bars, fuels and hydration options I love to mention them all here, but take a look at my giveaways this year or take a look at The Feed. Any questions, leave them in the comments and I will let you know my opinion!
Of course, fit folks love food gifts. Some I suggest:
Lush Gourmet’s Nuts – Bisera from Lush Gourmet makes delicious artisan nuts/nut mixes. She started with an old family recipe and developed six handcrafted flavors of peanuts and three handcrafted flavors of almonds. Lush Gourmet uses all natural ingredients, all of the nuts are gluten free (not produced in a certified GF facility) and vegan. The nuts are grown in the USA and there are no added oils. She has awesome holiday gift packs that are beautifully wrapped. She offered a beautiful peanut gift box to one to a lucky reader. I’ll be raffling this off starting on 12/19 so come back over to enter. Here’s the link. Ends 12/28. US only.
Treats! We fit folks like to work out. Some of us also like treats. The nice folks at Graeter’s Ice Cream sent me some vouchers for ice cream pints. I got The Husband two pints. If you’re not familiar with Graeter’s, they started in Ohio and now sell through a variety of supermarkets throughout the country. They also send ice cream care packages via express mail. I have an extra voucher to share and will raffle off this some additional vouchers for treats via my Facebook page starting tomorrow.
My Brother’s Salsa and Chips Gift Set – Fit folks need their salt. The nice folks from My Brother’s Salsa sent me their all natural salsa and organic corn tortilla chips to try. I served them at The Husband’s birthday and they were a big hit. This is a fun gift for the salt loving fit folks on your list. For $22.00, you can pick a flavor from 9 all natural salsas and send chips and small dipping bowls, too. This is the perfect compliment to post race margaritas, too! Check out other other great gift packs here.
Viki’s Granola – Throw some treats in your stockings that can be enjoyed guilt-free! (think: Viki’s Granola On-the-Go Pouches) Viki’s Granola is made with 100% all natural ingredients, gluten-free and baked with love. Available in five delicious flavors, Viki’s Granola is great to enjoy on its own or with yogurt for a nutritious snack. The snack packs are perfect for on-the-go and in Christmas stockings!
In addition to food and fuel, runners love accessories and gadgets! Here are some of my picks:
An awesome water bottle like this one from Artist Hollie Watman. This special edition glass “Eat. Hydrate. Move. Sleep.” water bottle is only $16.oo. And guess what? Hollie will send three lucky winners each their own Eat. Hydrate. Move. Sleep. water bottle. I am going to post this giveaway on Tuesday so that I can tell you more about Hollie’s other awesome limited edition products. Head over to this post to enter to win one of three awesome Eat. Hydrate. Move. Sleep. water bottles.
HB Tune is my fave for bringing my phone on the run. It is made of neoprene and is sweat-resistant, the phone can be used/controlled through the plastic, there is a snap to hold in phone and an adjustable strap. The HB Tune comes in several sizes (for a variety of smart phones) and is intended to fit even large cases. I recommend this to EVERYONE who wants to run with a phone! HB Tune has a pocket for a key/money/ID, too. This is a great gift for the runners in your life at $24.99!
Craft Hybrid Gloves ($34.99 at Dick’s Sports online) – I love love love these hybrid gloves. They are nice and warm and the wind stoppers really work. You can enter to win a $25 Dick’s Gift Card (plus a YETI Rambler Colster – another great stocking stuffer) in my 12 Days of Giveaways through December 18th to save even more.

RuMe Reveal Bags Bundle – I love RuMe reusable bags for travel and for use at home. For all of the race-cations and other trips, get your fit folks a bundle of RuMe Reveal Bags. They are TSA approved, but your stuff’s not on full display for the TSA and everyone else to see. They have plain and with cute labels like those shown. Get a 3 pack on sale for $18.95. They have other great gift and stocking stuffer ideas, as well!
SPIbelt– I love to carry my phone in races so I can grab pics before the start and after the finish. I am a huge fan of the SPIbelt (Small Personal Item belt). The pocket expands to keep your phone and other items secure. They are reasonably bounce-free, are expandable and secure with a low profile pocket. They also use comfortable elastic to prevent chafing. They have a wide variety of products from the Original ($19.99) to the H20 Venture Series with water bottles ($44.99). Check out the full line and gift guide here.
