The days are shorter, the weather is colder, and everyone’s getting ready for the holidays which means everyone’s on the hunt for the perfect holiday gifts.
Sometimes, knowing what gift to get someone can be difficult. If you’re stuck trying to figure out the perfect holiday gifts for health enthusiasts, stop right here!
This post will help you with Christmas gift ideas for health and fitness enthusiasts of all different kinds – to fit into any budget.
So, without further ado, here are the best holiday gift ideas for fitness enthusiasts and a link to many of them of Amazon:
Holiday Gifts for Fitness Lovers
A Workout Planner/Log Book
Any fitness enthusiast with a love of organization and an appreciation for records would appreciate a fresh workout planner/log book. Not only is a gift like this budget friendly, but it’s also easy to find different style options for different people, from the size of the book to the pattern of the cover. It’s a fitness gift you can make uniquely personal!
CBD
Muscle fatigue is no joke, as any fitness fanatic will tell you. One of the most profound benefits of the newly legalized substance, CBD is muscle recovery. Because CBD helps the body cope with inflammation and pain symptoms, new users are shocked at how quick and effective it is, and just how much it helps with recovery. No wonder it ranks among the best fitness gifts!
Taking CBD orally will help tremendously with recovery and for that specifically, I would recommend the CBD Curcumin Softgels, but truly any ingestible CBD will do the trick.
And unfortunately, sometimes we just have everyday aches and pains that need a little special attention. For these, I highly recommend CBD Topicals. My favorite is the CBD Sports Cream.
Massagers
When it comes to buying holiday gifts for fitness freaks, a high-quality massager is a must-have item on your shopping list.
There are all sorts of different massagers, with many price points, out there for all different purposes and muscle groups. What’s more is that with so many options out there, you’re bound to find one suiting your fitness enthusiasts needs. You can even get ones with heat!
My favorite is a theragun, which is very pricey, but very worth it. I’ve had mine for years, it get used all the time and still works perfectly. As they say, “you get what you pay for” but there are other options for people who might not need the full functions of a theragun. Multiple priced options can be found here. Rest assured this is one holiday gift idea that won’t disappoint.
A Foldable Treadmill
If you’re shopping for a cardio-lover and are looking to give them a big fitness gift, foldable treadmills have become very popular recently. They’re convenient and technology has gotten effective enough to make them compact, durable, and reliable.
Resistance Bands
Resistance bands make for an easy holiday gift that’s smaller in size and also has a variety of options, including a lot of different color options and even a few different material options. They’re great stocking stuffers and are a unique gift for people who like fitness!
Training Books
These are among the most appreciated gifts for people who are into fitness. Almost every book store has an entire section just for books on fitness. You’re bound to find something in your fitness enthusiasts niche there!
A Travel Yoga Mat
Lightweight, easy to pack and super slim are three must haves for a travel yoga mat. As any yogi or health enthusiast will tell you, our normal yoga mats do not travel well. However, travel yoga mats are made for just that and Jade Yoga mats are the highest quality mat on the market. Choose this one-of-a-kind fitness gift for your fitness buff and you won’t regret it!
Protein/Pre-Workout Bundles
If the fitness enthusiast you’re shopping for likes protein powders and/or pre-workout, consider getting them a bundle/gift basket of the products they use or have been wanting to try as holiday gifts this Christmas. They’ll only thank you for it!
The Perfect Multi-Vitamin
Multi-vitamins, and the supplement industry in general, are confusing and over-saturated. It is so difficult to know what we need in a multi vitamin and what is truly high quality versus just slick marketing. reVITAlize Daily Essentials + Immunity from Wellness Collection combines nearly all your vitamins, minerals and antioxidants into 1 easy to take power sachet that tastes great. Now that’s the perfect gift for fitness lovers!
Headphones/Earbuds
A lot of people listen to music while they’re working out to keep them motivated and keep their energy up. If the fitness enthusiast you’re buying holiday gifts for is also an avid workout music lover, consider getting them a pair of workout headphones or earbuds.
There are a lot of earbuds designed specifically for staying in place during workouts and most are bluetooth so the cord doesn’t interfere. But, I must admit, I am still “old school” and prefer wired earbuds (specifically Bose, which are at this link). I am still reluctant to connect bluetooth to both sides of my head and run a signal for long periods of time.
A Nice Water Bottle
A simple but constantly beloved gift of fitness enthusiasts is a nice, new water bottle. There are all kinds for all different purposes, from hydroflasks to water bottles that measure how much water you should consume by when in the day.
I have more water bottles than any one person should have in their lifetime. I am adamant that they not be plastic, but instead glass or metal (that goes for the bottle & straw). But, I need really big water bottles (because I drink a ton of water)!
I found THE PERFECT WATER BOTTLE AND STAINLESS STRAW SET:
- It’s a tumbler with a straw, both of which, for some reason, make me drink more water (weird, I know, but it just goes down better).
- The straw it comes with is plastic, so I strongly advise you get the matching stainless steel straw set so you eliminate all plastics from your water.
- The stainless steel straw set matches the exact size of the tumbler top and comes with 4 straws so you can rotate them. I ordered 6 straws before I found the perfect fit, make sure you follow the link to the straw set as well. (But ditch the little plastic tops so you’re not even tempted. You don’t need them and they’re not healthy.)
- It comes in a 32 ounce size that still fits in a cup holder! This means you only have to drink 2 of these per day to get your 8 cups and it’s easy to take on the road.
- It has super fun colors and designs, making it a great gift for those who love fitness.
I cannot overstate how wonderful this water bottle & stainless steel straw set are together. I have given it to so many people as a holiday gift and everyone raves about them.
However, if not my perfect water bottle, there is bound to be a perfect water bottle for your loved one.
A Foam Roller
If the fitness enthusiast you’re buying holiday gifts for doesn’t already own a foam roller, get them one. Almost everyone that has one considers it one of their best purchases. I spent years trying to figure out why everyone loved foam rolling so much. I purchased multiple foam rollers in various sizes, densities, with added features, all the bells and whistles and just hated foam rolling.
That was until I found this Amazon Foam Roller that is the perfect foam roller. The 36 inch foam roller at this link is the perfect length, density and quality. I spent so much more on so many other rollers and none held a candle to this Amazon Basic Foam Roller. It is so rare that the cheapest is the best, but in this case it is. Your fitness lover will surely love this Christmas gift idea!
Glass Storage Containers
Meal prep is a staple for most health and fitness enthusiasts. And with meal prep comes the topic of food storage.
We all know how much plastic can wreak havoc on our health, specifically our hormone health, but somehow, even when we try, we wind up with plastic tupperware containers and storage bins in our kitchen. So, let’s exclude plastic from our holiday gift ideas consideration set.
Pyrex glass storage containers are a wonderful fitness gift for anyone who is health obsessed. It’s a rare item we don’t always know we need until we receive it or buy for ourselves.
I had many pyrex sets in my house but didn’t utilize them enough because they were not easily stackable and were too large for my typical needs. Recently I found these great stackable pyrex sets, in smaller sizes (1 cup and 2 cup) which are fabulous for usage and storage!
These are only a few options out there when it comes to gifts for fitness enthusiasts. The more you know about the person you’re shopping for and the more you know about their fitness routine and needs, the more specific you can get with your holiday gift!
