Holiday Gift Guide [2021]

Alright, friends, it’s that time of year, and I’m here to bring you all of my fav gifts for the fitness lover in your lives (or, ya know, you).

I am NOT a fan of trinkets or gag gifts, so I assure you that any one of these items will be sure to surprise and delight that special someone. AND if you are in the camp of self-shopping (because, yes, me too), then I know you will be feeling ALL the love for yourself.

TL Method 

Okay, yes, I know I’m biased, but this makes for a wonderful gift to someone in your life who keeps talking about getting started with their wellness goals but may not know exactly where to start.

I write brand spankin’ new workouts every single week (seriously). A membership includes, yes, the workouts with access to my brand-new, custom-built portal in addition to a private Facebook group, quarterly challenges, and access to yours truly.

OXB Jewelry

If you’re anything like me, when you put jewelry on, there’s no taking it off (I mean, world-ending-type stuff where someone would have to pry it off of you for you to physically remove it).

OXB Jewelry is sustainably made in beautiful Denver, Colorado. The founders, Laura and Maggie, met in their 7am spin class, so naturally, all their jewelry is completely sweat-proof and safe for daily showering.

My personal favorites are the disco chain and lightning bolt necklace combo. (I really can’t pick just one).

Beyond Yoga Leggings

To say I’ve been around the block with athletic wear would be a complete understatement. I know my way around leggings, and I think that Beyond Yoga leggings are some of the most underrated out there. 

I buy leggings because I want to, one, be able to wear them all the time and, two, have them be buttery soft on my bottom half. Beyond Yoga does not disappoint in both categories.

If you’re new to the brand, I highly recommend the spacedye collection. It doesn’t get any softer than that.

Goodr Sunnies

If there’s anything everyone on your list needs, it’s eye protection. Layer on “affordable” and “stylish” and you can’t go wrong.

Goodr was born for runners by runners (don’t worry, you don’t have to run to rock these specs). The co-founders are former high school friends who, after taking on their own professional worlds, wanted to create fun, fashionable, and functional sunglasses that everyone can afford.

They’re very affordable and even more cool. My personal favorite is the VRGs.

Beducated Subscription

This is the gift that you must get yourself and, potentially, your partner.

Society has basically shown us that our sex lives are meant to become boring. Beducated proposes that there’s a better way, including tools and training to improve your skills as a lover. That’s right, they believe that sexual happiness is trainable (and I do, too).

Discover your inner sex god or goddess, and empower your partner to do the same, with a year-long subscription to their online sexual health and happiness program. It’s a game-changer.

Walking Shoes

Going on more walks has changed my outlook on life. Whether it’s just smelling some fresh air, getting in some anti-blue light time, or taking the pup for a quick walk around the block, I would not have made it through the last couple years without my walks.

Know a special someone in need of a midday pick-me-up? A 10-20 minute walk and a playlist in the middle of my day never disappoint to increase my happiness levels.

Here are some of my fav walking shoes: 

Your Favorite Book

You might consider this taboo, but I am ALL about the re-gift. There’s nothing better than a friend presenting me with a book and squealing, “I loved this so much, and I think you’ll love it, too!”

Of course, you can always shoot a Kindle gift your friend’s way OR an audiobook (especially for any of my walkers and/or running enthusiasts who like to put in their headphones and zone out).

Here are some of my personal favorite books from this year:

Pillow and/or Body Pillow

Honestly, the gift of good sleep is more important than you think. As soon as I got a Tempur-Pedic cooling pillow and body pillow like this one, I find it hard to sleep without it (definitely not a replacement for Teddy, but a close second).
