If you want to buy me a gift (hint, hint), I'll take a new GPS watch, zero drop running shoes, a race-cation half marathon entry (including airfare and hotel), and the new Theragun. If your available funds are a bit smaller, you can satisfy even the pickiest runner with any of the below budget-friendly stocking stuffers gifts under $35 that gets to the root of what their heart desires!
When I was putting together this stocking stuffers guide, I started thinking about the gifts that would get any runner excited.
The ideas that came immediately to mind were a new PR, to stay injury-free, to avoid blisters, to not lose keys on the trail, and running motivation. Without fail, these are the kind of gifts that every runner truly wants and needs.
STOCKING STUFFERS #1: A NEW PR
Almost every runner would like to achieve a new personal record (PR), and with this thoughtful gift, you can help them get there. A running journal can motivate runners to stay consistent, remind them how much they have improved over time, connect the dots between their training and their progress, and help with planning for big goals. You're not giving a journal; you're giving her a new personal record. Every runner wants that.
STOCKING STUFFERS #2: MOBILITY
Chances are if your runner friend likes to run, they don't want a mobility stick, they need one. Give the gift of relaxed muscles, a full range of motion, and a reduced chance of injuries—something surely on every runner's wish list.
STOCKING STUFFERS #3: BLISTER-FREE FEET
Giving cheap cotton socks to a runner is the equivalent of coal in their stocking. Instead, give Rockay wool socks to keep feet warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and hug the arches in all the right places. Only a runner would geek out about getting socks for Christmas, but you're not giving socks; you're gifting blister-free feet.
STOCKING STUFFERS #4: RUNNING MOTIVATION
No one wants a calendar for Christmas unless they are a runner, and it's a daily calendar that will keep them inspired all year long. It's the gift that gives running motivation for 365 days—what every runner needs!
STOCKING STUFFERS #5: WORRY-FREE RUNNING
Your favorite runner will appreciate this no-bounce, sleek, tubular FlipBelt to hold her belongings on the run. Give the gift of worry-free running. She can hold her phone, cards, keys, and barely notice they are there. She may never lose a key on the trail again, and that’s the kind of gift that keeps on giving!
STOCKING STUFFERS #6: HYDRATION AND RELAXED MUSCLES
Water bottles and foam rollers go together like peanut butter and jelly, or more like runners and massages. This gift is perfect for runners on to go. She can roll out those tight muscles and hydrate in one package with this foam roller water bottle. Muscles love water, and runners love to hate the foam roller.
STOCKING STUFFERS #7: PEACE OF MIND
Engrave her contact information on a ROAD ID tag for peace of mind in case of an accident or emergency. These convenient, personalized IDs fit on her Apple Watch, Fitbit or Garmin. It’s the gift that shows you care.
STOCKING STUFFERS #8: NO INJURIES
Runners who strength train are stronger, faster, and because muscles stabilize the joints, they have less likelihood of an injury. You don’t need to buy an expensive gym membership, give the gift of stronger running with resistance bands.
STOCKING STUFFERS #9: WARMTH AND EFFORTLESS LAYERING
When she wears these genius running mittens, she can flip off the tops to expose her fingers to cool off when she gets too warm on the run. If she has ever stuffed gloves into her pockets and lost one on the road, she'll appreciate this gift of never misplacing a mitten again.
STOCKING STUFFERS #10: LAUGHTER
Runners talk openly about their bodily functions. They have very little shame when it comes to bathroom talk, and they love to laugh. This book ‘How To Make Yourself Poop and 999 other Tips All Runners Should Know’ should make any runner feel right at home. You may not be able to give a sense of humor, but if she runs, she probably already has one, and will appreciate this book.
