Quiver0f10 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 What would make a good Chritmas gift for a 21 yo boy who runs year round? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Does he have an armband for music (I'm assuming he has an mp3). Running headbands are good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuzi Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 * A water pack, or waterbottle with a holder (I have one that belts around my waist, with the bottle at the small of my back, and it is invaluable for long runs) * Really good quality running socks. * iTunes gift card (if he runs with an MP3 player) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie in OR Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Subscription to a running magazine Have his winter running shoes "screwed" at a local running store for winter running (if you live in a snowy, icy place) If he's a distance runner, gift cards for "Goo" and accessories from running store (or stock a box full of his faves) Running shirt that has removable sleeves If he's a trail runner, lots of black running socks (took me a few years to figure this one out :001_huh:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoVanGogh Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Running socks Waist pack for water bottles - I have several, as I like different ones for different lengths of runs. Garmin Foretrex or Forerunner - or something similar Energy foods/snacks REI has some neat ideas in their online running shop. http://www.rei.com/features/running-shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LG Gone Wild Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 What would make a good Chritmas gift for a 21 yo boy who runs year round? Thanks! Road ID bracelet and a large stick for overcurious dogs and slack dog owners. ETA: Mrs. Mungo beat me to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it even for walks when I am wearing a sport skirt. Dh puts it all over his feet for long runs (long for him=longer than 15 miles), it helps prevent blisters.

momofkhm Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 What would make a good Chritmas gift for a 21 yo boy who runs year round? Thanks! Being a boy I'm not sure this would work, but I always enjoy new running shirts. The tech ones. DH rides his bike an hour a day and wears out bike shorts so that we need to buy him new ones each birthday (July) and Christmas. They run $50 each. DH has bought me shirts, shorts, socks and a jacket for running in the past. Not all the same year. It all wears out so it's all useful.

nono Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 If he's a distance runner, you might consider a subscription to Marathon and Beyond. Too pricey for most 21 yr. old distance runners. ;) Great gift! (I'm hopeful of a renewal myself this year!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristyB in TN Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 Rather than diaper cream how about a tube of Glide? It looks like a tube of deodorant and goes on clear. It's petroleum based and just doesn't last as long. We like http://www.blairex.com/BLButtPaste.php Boudreaux's Butt Paste is zinc oxide based, it's white but where I'm putting it, no one's going to see, it lasts through a marathon, and no talc. I think Glide is great if it works for you, it just didn't work as well as diaper cream for us. I have a lot of chaffing around my bra area and under my arms when it is really hot or when I am running long distances more than once a week.
