Holiday Gifts For Your Favorite Athlete

By Nolan Berrie


Trying to select gifts and stocking stuffers is often a difficult task. If one of your gift recipients is a sports enthusiast, there are tons of great gifts that they will be sure to appreciate. Here are just a few gift suggestions.

Chances are that the athlete in your life experiences muscle pain from time to time. Consider purchasing a handy physiological hybrid shape as a holiday gift. These unique items are great gifts, and they will help your favorite athlete alleviate pain and continue to enjoy their favorite activity.

A physiological hybrid shape, such as the unique shapes by RapidForce, is an adhesive that athletes place directly on a sore muscle. The shape provides support and also draws strength from other nearby muscles, lessening pain and improving movement and flexibility. There are physio hybrid shapes for the knees, lower or upper back and the shoulders, all areas common to muscle soreness.

Athletes need to stay hydrated, but using plastic water bottles is not the healthiest or greenest way to make that happen. Treat your athlete to a hip reusable water bottle that he or she can refill again and again. Better yet, purchase a special fanny pack or waist pack that will comfortably tote a reusable bottle, keys and even items such as an iPod or a phone.

Watches are not just for telling the time; in fact most of us these days use our phone for that anyway. For an athlete, a sports watch can provide many important functions. You can find watches with tons of built-in gadgets, such as calorie counters, heart-rate monitors and pedometers. There are even super cool watches with a GPS, so you will never get lost in the woods or even in the suburbs.

If you know your loved one's sizes and style, consider purchasing some great athletic apparel. It is important to purchase clothing that is designed for the sport your athlete enjoys. After all, clothes for runners are much different that those who enjoy yoga or golf, so make sure you pick something suitable. If you are unsure, a gift card is always a great alternative.
