Holiday Gift Guide for the Runner (and Everyone Else, Too!) + Giveaways

Article by lisaFollow me:

Holiday gift guide for the runner 2015
For the fourth year in a row, the Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans is super excited to share with you our Holiday Gift Guide for the Runner. Now, before all you non-runners ask, you do not have to be a runner to enjoy these products- ANYONE can use them. I just happen to be a runner and I happen to think these products would be awesome for all runners, BUT they would be awesome for ANYONE. Check out the list- I think you will agree.

Let me remind all of you, especially the first timers to our site, while I love these products personally, I even love it more that I get to GIVEAWAY EVERY SINGLE PRODUCT on this list to you, our community. Yes, we are giving away ever single thing you see listed in this guide.

I feel like Santa Claus.

Let’s get on with it.

APPAREL

Nuu-Muu Running Dress with Pocket ($85)
Nuu MuuLike: novelty of wearing a dress to run in
Love: comfortable to wear, choose your own capris to wear underneath, variety of prints to choose from; When I first put this on, my husband looked at me and said *Where are YOU going?*. This dress is pretty and I’m tempted to wear it around town!

Pearl Izumi Women’s Fly Jacket ($85)
Pearl Izumi JacketLike: This jacket is wind and water resistant and has a zippered back pocket to hold all your stuff.
Love: It also has 360 reflectivity and fist mits to keep your hands warm. I love the full length zipper so you have options if you are cold or if you warm up and need a little ventilation.

********************************************************************

Pearl Izumi Women’s Flash 3/4 Tight ($60)
Pearl Izumi Capris
Like: These capris have a zippered back pocket, wide waistband and are moisture wicking.
Love: They have another pocket on the thigh to hold even MORE stuff.  These capris are super soft and do a great job slimming my body line.

FOR THE FEET

Balega Running Socks ($12-15/pair)2015.Balega.UltraLike: Balega has a wide variety of performance running socks.
Love: Each sock offers it’s own pros but all are comfortable and moisture wicking.  This is one of my favorite running socks- I wear them out!
Balega Social Media: Web * Facebook *********************************************************************

Foot Nanny *Oprah’s Favorite 2015 Foot Treatment* Gift Set ($102)footnanny GMA SetLike: Um yes, please pamper my feet!  Foot Nanny has various scents to choose from and does it’s part to provide folks with a reasonable option to soft feet.
Love: Again, what’s not to love?!  Look, I have to admit my runner’s feet are pretty rough, dry and cracked. If this is good enough for Oprah, then it’s awesome for me!!!

*********************************************************************

Feetures Running Socks ($12-13/pair)image002Like: Feetures also offers high performance running socks and they have fun colors to choose from, especially the holiday *stripes* line.
Love: Feetures socks are comfortable (like a hug for your foot) and they keep your feet dry. This is my other favorite running sock : ).
Feetures Social Media: Web * Facebook

**********************************************************************

OOFOS Recovery Footwear ($64.95)
OOcloogLuxe_Mocha_1Like: OOFOS offers several types of recovery shoes to choose from. The shoes are a soft/cushy ride for your lower body and they are shower/beach ready.
Love: I have to be honest I was skeptical of these shoes helping my lower body *recover* after long/hard runs but they do.  I am a CONVERT and absolutely LOVE these shoes. I wear them after every long run or really, any time my feet or legs are tired. I never thought I would say this, but these recovery shoes do indeed help me recover!
OOFOS Social Media: Web * Facebook * Instagram * Twitter

**********************************************************************

GEAR

Handana High Performance Sweatband ($13.99/each)
Handana (25)Like: Handana has comfortable, stylish, fun colorssweatbands to choose from.
Love: I love having somewhere to wipe sweat or snot!  They keep my palms warm and are small enough to tuck into my capri’s/running pants if my hands get too warm.
Handana Social Media: Web * Facebook * Twitter * Pinterest

***********************************************************************

Headsweats Endurance Headbands ($15)
Headsweats 1Like: Headsweats newest product are these headbands.  They have several styles to choose from- I think this pattern is the prettiest! It keeps my hair pulled back from my face and it’s lightweight.
Love: I love this headband because it keeps the sweat from dripping down my face and it’s comfortable.

***********************************************************************

Headsweats Elite Reflective Fast Hat ($25)
Headsweats 2Like: This Headsweats hat has ponytail opening in the back although this hat is unisex and has a black undervisor to reduce glare.
Love: It’s lightweight, has reflective trim, and cooling properties (yes- cooling! so great for summer months).

MISC (AKA COOL STUFF)

KT Tape ($19.99+)
KT TapeLike: When applied correctly, this tape helps anyone sufffering from any kind of injury-related ailment or aches and pains.

Journal Menu ($24.99+)
Journal-TypesLike: I created a running journal through Journal Menu but they have other fitness options available as well.  They are small enough to throw in your purse but big enough to write in.  They have a variety of journals to choose from.
Love: One of my favorite things about this journal is the ability to customize the cover AND the inside portion. You can select from a menu of options what you would like included.

Chococurb Gift Box Mini ($20)
Mini_Gift_ImageLike: Um hello? A chocolate subscription service?  Sign me up already!
Love: What’s not to love? Seriously, a service that puts gourmet chocolate on my doorstep on a monthly basis is a HUGE winner in my book. I thought I had good chocolate in the past but when I bit into my first piece from this box, I knew I had been missing out.  This makes an excellent gift for EVERYONE.

Alisa Michelle Jewelry – 5 Pieces

alisa michelle jewelry

Like: Who doesn’t want statement jewelry that’s a favorite of the stars? Kelly Clarkson wears it? Then it’s only going to make me stronger if I wear it, right?
Love: Each handmade piece tells a story, your story, and with so many beautiful pieces to choose from you’ll be able to find a piece to tell all of your stories.

What You Can When You Can by Carla Birnberg & Roni Noone

 

Like: Healthy living is simplified through the #wycwyc movement. It seems to makes things easier when you break them down into smaller, intentional actions.
Love: The authors, Carla and Roni, are amazing women and personal friends of the Sisterhood. They have poured their hearts and souls into #wycwyc and we love them for it!

WOW! TECHNOLOGY

Red Fox Wireless evo4 Bluetooth Earbuds ($129.99)
evo4_PackagingLike: These wireless earbuds are sporty, comfortable, and even more importantly, have great sound quality.  They are more durable than your standard wireless ear buds- these are built to last through your workouts!
Love: I can now proclaim from the rooftops- I am *tangle-free*! These earbuds were easy to pair to my phone AND straightforward to learn. I love being able to control the volume, forward through a song and answer a phone call all from one place.  My dad called while I was running- I answered his call easily and the sound quality was crystal clear, he couldn’t even tell I was outdoor amongst the elements! They stay put in your ears- there is no constant readjusting and the magnetic touch earbuds means you can easily carry them around your neck (how cool!).

Like: This sports watch has a large display, is waterproof, , is Bluetooth smart, and you can sync your watch with a mobile app.  Select one of five training zones to match your training goals.

About lisa

I'm a runner, on my way to becoming a marathoner. I am 42 years old and have found a peaceful acceptance of my body. Through running, I have discovered who I am, besides a mom to three kids and a wife to one. I truly enjoy sharing my love of fitness with others while empowering and motivating women to conquer their fear of the unknown. In my spare time, I manage the Run with the Sisterhood Facebook page, work here and there for Zooma Women's Race Series, and work part-time at our local YMCA.
