Happy Holidays! Not sure what to get the trail runner in your life? Well scroll down for the perfect gift ideas!
Least Expensive…
These are some perfect stocking stuffer ideas, or put a couple in a Nalgene water bottle (because who couldn’t use more water bottles) for a quick and easy gift!
1. Nuun Hydration Tablets
A must have for every runner, with various tablets for rest, getting ready for a workout, immune support, and more these are always a must have!
Find them: at REI, Nuunlife.com, your local running store (in Michigan checkout Gazelle Sports and Running Fit)
2. Salt Chews
A staple in the running bag for those long runs, these small packets are perfect to slip in a running bag and are nice to test out new flavors!
Find them: at REI, saltstick.com, your local running store (in Michigan checkout Gazelle Sports and Running Fit)
3. Gu’s (energy gels)
These keep you powering through those long runs! (Bonus: they’re super tasty)

Slightly more expensive…
4. Buff headbands
These are a staple running item especially in the cooler months. Not only are these a great way to hold your hair back, but they can double as ear warmers. (Bonus: they can come in handy as a quick face covering when necessary)
Find these at: almost any sporting goods store, REI, local running store (in Michigan checkout Gazelle Sports and Running Fit)
5. Nalgene water Bottles
Like I said, who couldn’t use another water bottle? Nalgene’s are great to throw in your running bag, work bag, in the car. They are inexpensive and lightweight! They also can double as an eco-friendly gift bag to stuff some smaller gifts into!
Find these at: almost any major retailer (Target), REI – bonus they often have great deals, Nalgene.com
6. Goodr glasses
By far the best “cheap” running glasses! I have multiple pairs of goodr glasses. At the low price of $25 you can’t go wrong with these sport sunglasses!
Find these at: REI, goodr.com, local running store (in Michigan checkout Gazelle Sports and Running Fit)
Big ticket items…
7. Hydration Vest
A must have for those long distance trail runs. The Salomen hydration vest does not disappoint either! Though the price point is pretty high compared to other waist hydration and vest hydration systems it is well worth it!
Find it at: REI
8. Nanospikes
If you live where it snows or gets icy then nano spikes are a must have in those colder months! Kahtoola makes an excellent nano spike, good price point an excellent quality!
Find them at: REI, Moosejaw, local running store (in Michigan checkout Gazelle Sports and Running Fit)
