Gifts for your Most Active Friend or your Sporty Sibling
Happy Holidays!
This gift guide is for your friends and family members who love to be active —perhaps, the ones who go on vacation not to lounge on the beach but instead to do an epic hike or a kayaking expedition. Or, the friend who loves to check out new fitness classes or local hikes.
A set of paddles for the beginning pickler. And a set of outdoor pickle balls to go with them. Bonus if you include time on the calendar to play together.
Tennis lessons via PlayYourCourt. This awesome network allows you to find an instructor where you live, see instructor ratings, and schedule lessons in a way that works for you.
Taking a trip together —or, a weekend hike, or just a walk and talk in one of your neighborhoods. If you live afar, perhaps a standing weekly or monthly date for a walk and talk from afar.
Some instant camp coffee, to take on the go. Bonus if you pair it with a mini electric kettle (requires power and is good for hotel or AirBnB stays), or a JetBoil (good for camping and time off-grid).
A gift card to a locally owned, independent outdoorsy store.
A gift card to an independently owned running store. A few favorites around the US:
Fleet Feet (Madison, WI)
Queen City Running Company (Marquette, MI)
Run Sedona (Sedona, AZ)
St Pete Running Company (St Petersburg, FL)
Some workout bands, for movement on-the-go.
A donation to Girls on the Run, in their name
A donation to a nonprofit that connects people to nature, or that supports wellbeing and the environment.
A curated list of your favorite, free online workout classes.
