Welcome to my first holiday gift guide of 2019! I’m highly qualified to offer some great suggestions for all of the runners and fit folks on your list this year. I am also planning a “gifts for everyone else” post and a maybe stocking stuffers post, so stay tuned. I’ve tested out and used SO many awesome products this year and in the last few years. I’m well served to offer some ideas for the fit folks on your list.
So without further ado – awesome gifts for the runners and fit folks in your life!
FitBit – I still love my FitBit Blaze. I’ve found that tracking steps with my FitBit keeps me moving not only when I’m running, but throughout the day. The Blaze reminds me to get up and move throughout the work day. They’ve updated the smart watches to the new Fitbit Versa 2. You can get it on Amazon starting at $198.95 (Affiliate Link) or at Fitbit online [Get 4% cash back with Rakuten formerly ebates, too!].
Gear from Janji – Janji is an awesome running apparel company that enables runners to give back by purchasing running gear. Janji, which means “promise” in Malay, donates of each piece to help fund clean water projects all over the world. This season, the proceeds are helping people in Nepal. They have everything from hats and accessories to tech T’s, shorts, jackets and tights. There are pieces for men and women. This is such a cool company and the clothes are stylish and durable. A win-win gift for the runner on your list! Get $5 off your first order when you sign up for their #runventure newsletter.
CEP Compression Socks– If you’ve been around here, you know that I swear by CEP Compression Socks for running. CEP is the only sport compression brand that comes from a medical products company. They’re the real deal. In winter, I love the Merino Wool version and in warmer temps I love the Ultralight version. CEP also has great socks for skiing, hiking and much more! Socks are $60.00 and Sleeves are $40. You can get deals for following on social media and signing up for their newsletter, too! You can get some deals on Amazon, too.

SPIBelt Glide – I’ve been loving this two pocket belt with no clasp from SPIBelt. It’s perfect for marathons and long runs. You can stow your phone and keys in one pocket and your fuel in another. It’s no slip and I’ve done long runs and marathons with no chafing. Get the SPIBelt Glide online or on Amazon.
SoleHealers – SoleHealers is an innovative foot stretching and massaging product that’s good for runners, yogis and anyone who works out. SoleHealers strengthen feet to prevent painful foot injuries. The innovative design provides myofascial release of the trigger points of the feet while also alleviating foot pain. Get SoleHealers on Amazon. They come with a 100% satisfaction guarantee, too!
New Running Gear from Athleta– I’ve been having a blast with my friends in the Athleta run club. I’m loving my new SuperSonic Lightning 7/8 Tights. Supersonic is a new performance fabric made from recycled materials. They have a high waist, 2 side pockets, a back zip pocket and mesh on the bottom to let in some air. The material is sustainable, wicking, quick dry and fair trade. I love their athleisure wear for travel and everything else!
Best bet – get a gift card so your runner can pick out her faves. Plus check out the new men’s collection called Hill City! [Get 2% cash back with Rakuten formerly ebates, too!]
New Running Gear from GoLite – I recently tried out GoLite capris, sports bra and top all made from recycled water bottles. The capris are a go-to with pockets and a great fit. They make great gear for men and women that functions well, looks great and is good for the environment. Check out GoLite online and get 15% off on your order with code ERICAFINDS. (Affiliate link)

Onyx and Rose CBD Balm – This topical CBD balm is great for achy joints and muscles. It’s scented with lavender and eucalyptus and has 500 mg of CBD. It’s made from 100% organically grown hemp and has a 100% satisfaction money back guarantee. Great for runners and fit folks.
Rengora Bath and Body – Fit folks need self care, but often don’t treat themselves! Check out dry brushes, bath bombs and a Rose Quartz Facial Roller from Rengora. Bath brushes exfoliate skin, bath bombs provide a moisturizing aromatherapy experience and the facial roller provides a nice cool facial. Get Rengora products online and on Amazon.
Wireless Headphones from Jaybird or Aftershokz – I’ve had the opportunity to try wireless headphones from Jaybird and Aftershokz this year. The new Jaybird Vista headphones are waterproof and the Aftershokz leave your ears open to hear what’s happening around you. Both have excellent sound and long charge life. Both are great gifts. Get both on Amazon and many other websites.
New Shades – If you’ve been around here, you know I love my Oakley Moonlighters. They’re super light and are great for running. I barely notice them and they feel/work great. [There’s a men’s version, too!] If your giftee likes to change glasses for every mood or outfit, try Goodr. You can get awesome shades in fun color combos for $25 – $35! They have some for running, biking and just wearing all around.
Light! If your runner is into running outside after dark or before dawn or runs relay races, get him/her a lighted vest. I recently had the opportunity to check out the Tracer 360 from Noxgear. It has over 1,200 five star reviews on Amazon!
Kudos 2 U Coaster Plus– If you’re like me, your race medals sit and gather dust. The guys from Kudos 2 You created a customizable coaster that you can use to show off your medals (or other mementos). At $20, these are great stocking stuffers for your runners! You can get them here.
Bombas Socks – My friends from Bombas now make performance running socks (no show and calf). For every pair you buy, they donate a special long lasting pair to a homeless person in need. Get 20% off your first order with code COMFORT20.

Subscription Boxes – There are some great subscription boxes for runners including Stride Box and Runner Box. There are others for Crossfit and other sports, too. These offer great opportunities for your runners to try new products. You can also gift a few months’ subscription so that the gift can keep on giving! You can also gift healthy snacks for fit folks from Fit Snack. I love mine! Keep an eye out for their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
Gift Cards – You can give gift cards to Running Warehouse, Fleet Feet (or your giftees local running store of choice) or Road Runner Sports. I’d love a gift card to The Feed.
