Healthy Gift Suggestions
I love to work out; running, biking, etc, and have a lot of friends that are uber healthy as well. So I like to buy them gifts that are appropriate for their active lifestyles. That brings us to:
1- Gym memberships - In this economy, money is tight for everyone. My best friend in the world goes to the gym religiously, and was so upset when her membership was about to run out because money was tight. So I extended her membership for her for 3 months! Every gym is different, I spent about $60. But most gyms offer gift certificates now as well.
2- Chocolate dipped fruit – Because even the healthiest people are still suckers for chocolate! I sent an Edible fruit bouquet to my friend at her workplace. She was so excited! I picked out a cool fruit arrangement called the Berry Chocolate Bouquet. It was still healthy, had tons of fruit (strawberries, pineapple, cantaloupe and grapes), but some of the strawberries were dipped in chocolate for a bit of decadence (and it was big enough for her to share with her co-workers, thank goodness!).
3- Jewelry – Sounds funny, but there is a great site, terrybicycles.com, and they have jewelry that I love! My sister just competed in her first triathlon, and I got her the neatest “run-bike-swim” ring. They also have necklaces and bracelets made from bike parts – so cute, but a bit on the pricey side.
4- Gift pack (Sport appropriate) – Last year my friend started training for a marathon, so I put together a gift bag with a heart monitor, runners journal, water bottles and energy bars. I’ve also done them for my friends that bike (spare tubes, camelbacks, etc). Get creative! And if you’re not familiar with their favorite sport, just do some research online. There are tons of great sites that can help.
5- Gift certificates – Again, these are usually my last choice because they don’t seem creative, but lots of people are hard up for cash these days and some sports can get pretty pricey. Ski lift passes, indoor rock climbing passes, and sporting goods stores are all good ideas.
