Welcome to my last holiday gift guide of 2021! If you’re still shopping for gifts, check out my “Gift Guide for Runners + Fit Folks” and my “Gift Guide for Most Everyone.” Without further ado, here are some awesome stocking stuffers and last minute gifts that your loved ones might enjoy.
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. 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! You can give gift cards for your giftee’s local running store, too!
Here are other faves to consider – many can be purchased on Amazon with Prime shipping in time for the holidays.
Audible Gift Membership – I love listening to Audible books while I run or walk. I love thee Whispersync feature to my Kindle. Now, there is a huge Audible Plus Catalog with memberships. The Plus Catalog is an “all-you-can-listen” to catalog including thousands of audio books, podcasts and originals. You can gift 1, 3, 6 and 12 month memberships on Amazon. You can also gift Kindle Unlimited which has over 1 million titles available with the membership (and many have free audio, too!)
For readers, also consider gift cards to local book stores! Some Chicago favorites are Unabridged Books, Open Books and Semicolon Bookstore (Women and Black owned business).
Run Gum – If you’ve been around here, you know I love my Run Gum! It’s caffeinated gum with B vitamins and taurine. I use it before long runs and races instead of coffee. It gives me energy on the go! It was developed by Olympic runner Nick Symmonds. They have a new Immunity Gum now, too!
If your gift-ee or you doesn’t like gum, check out Mocca Shots for your caffeine fix from my friends at Seattle Gummy Company. They have products to boost performance and immunity and sugar free options! Get 20% off your order with code STOCKING20.
Humblemaker Coffee and an awesome MiiR Tumbler – I’ve been working with Humblemaker Coffee all year and love their new roasts. They also make a variety of cold brew shots including a new immunity one. I’m also obsessed with this MiiR tumbler that says “Obstacles do not block the path. They have some fun gift packs, too. They are the Path.” Get 35% off on your first order with this link.
Holiday Gifts from Lula’s Garden – I’ve been loving my plants more than now that I’m home more. These lovely succulents are eco friendly and come in gift box planters. I love Holiday Joy Garden I received (as shown).
Goodr “OG” Sunglasses – Goodr OGs are perfect stocking stuffers. These $25 sunglasses are super comfy and come in a zillion fun color combinations. I find that mine are almost impossible to break or lose. LOL. ($25 online or on Amazon)
Bombas Socks – Everyone needs awesome socks. Check out Bombas for awesome sporty socks (as shown) plus merino wool, dress socks and more for men, women and children. The best part is that they donate a pair of super sturdy socks to someone in need for every pair purchased! Get 25% off your first purchase with this link. Speaking of socks, I’m loving my Heat Holders thermal socks and slipper socks for the colder weather! Also consider socks with inspirational messages from notes to self. I’m loving my “I am crushing it” socks for workouts and wearing around the house!
Mouthwatchers Toothbrushes -Toothbrushes make great stocking stuffers. These antimicrobial toothbrushes from Mouthwatchers are my favorite! Doctor Plotka’s silver-infused bristles naturally eliminate 99% of bacteria, viruses and fungi within 6 hours. Morning or night, you can rely on clean bristles! I love my travel version, too!

Smartass & Sass Boxes. These curated gifts and subscription boxes are for your lady friends who love to laugh (and are partial to sarcasm!) This is a women owned, small business that’s “classy, sassy and a little bit smartassy.” I can get behind that! In addition to the monthly subscriptions, you can buy individual fun items (and past boxes) in the shop.
Daily Harvest (Gift Card) – Daily Harvest sends delicious single portion frozen smoothies, soups, harvest bowls and a few other goodies. The ingredients are fresh and there is no work to do. You just open, blend or heat and eat. I love the soups and harvest bowls for a delicious, healthy lunch/ These are a bit of an extravagance, so getting a gift card would be a great treat.

Nuts.com Holiday Gifts – We’ve been getting nuts, dried fruit, dry goods and goodies from Nuts.com for years. This year, they send me a holiday tin and Box of Winter Wonderland with a mix of healthy items and sweet treats.

Don’t forget to shop local. Consider gift cards for your giftee’s favorite local businesses, gyms and restaurants. It supports the local economy and also is more likely to get there quickly!
