Jogger Gift Ideas
Have a jogger
or a runner-obsessed friend on your gift list?
Although gifts
such as fanny packs or water bottles immediately spring to mind,
what else would they appreciate as a thoughtful birthday or holiday
gift?
Like any good
gift hunt, knowing what they might like or need - along with your
budget - should be a bottom-line consideration. Then again, there
are so many gift ideas to choose from in a variety of price ranges
that it becomes a cinch to purchase the perfect gift for your
favorite runner or jogger.
These include:
- Beside
the brand new water bottle, how about a water bottle holder
to go with it? These usually strap around the waist and along
with space for a water bottle, usually features other convenient
places to keep a cell phone, keys or spare change.
- For early
morning or night jogging, runners usualy wear light colors so
they can be clearly seen by motorists. However, for extra safety,
consider getting them a reflective arm band or a vest (some
even come with electronic flashers) to help them keep extra
safe while on daily runs.
- Thoughtful
summer weather gifts might include sunblock, a pair of sunglasses
with UV protection, or a visored cap. Colder weather calls for
warm socks, scarves, gloves, and a woolen cap. Depending on
how cold it gets, a nice pair of thermal
underwear also wouldn't go unappreciated!
- Serious
joggers
and marathon runners are constantly striving to improve
their performance. Help them monitor their progress with a sports
watch. Some models not only tell the time, but include a timer,
stopwatch, a pedometer, a compass and some even feature a heart
rate monitor.
- Still unsure
of what to get? Think about a gift card to their favorite sporting
good store. If that's too impersonal, how about creating
your own jogger gift basket? Simply purchase a small duffel
bag and fill it with small items such as a running magazine,
cushioned sweatbands, cotton socks, a baseball cap, fanny pack,
a CD of favorite music, granola bars and energy drinks. Wrap
it up in ribbon and big bow and you have a gift that any runner
or jogger will appreciate.
