Gifts in the shoe, gifts under the Christmas tree: the month of December is the perfect time to surprise your running partner, friend, father, or mother with a sporty present in the form of a fun running gadget . RunX lists the best December gifts for runners!
1. Flipbelt
A flipbelt is one of those gifts you didn't know you needed. A versatile waist belt where you keep your phone, keys, and maybe some gels while running. But it is also an ideal accessory for carrying your essentials while cycling, working out, or traveling. The elastic band doesn't chafe and stays in place while moving. For €29,99, it's an ideal gift!
2. Reflective vest
You can run anywhere: on forest paths, through residential areas, or straight through the city. However, it is very important to be visible so that motorists and cyclists can take you into account. Especially during the autumn and winter months, when the days get shorter, a reflective vest is a must. The Gato LED vest ensures that you can run safely. Put it under the tree for €24,99!
3. Aftershokz trek titanium
Running feels just that little bit better to a good beat. The Trekz Titanium by Aftershokz is the perfect headphone for runners: thanks to the special 'bone-conducting' technology, you don't wear earbuds in your ears, allowing you to hear ambient sounds alongside the music. The music enters through your cheekbones, leaving your ears free. Surprise an avid runner with these cool headphones for €79,99!
Garmin Forerunner 4
The ultimate gift for a runner: a sports watch! The Garmin Forerunner 45 is a GPS running watch that measures your heart rate and uses GPS to track your pace, distance, and intervals. The sleek, lightweight smartwatch also displays smartphone notifications and lets you control your music. A small but very nice gift for €169,99!
5. RunX hat
You lose the most heat through your head when running outdoors. A hat is an essential part of your running outfit when heading out on cold winter days. The RunX hat is made of thin material that keeps your head warm at the same time. A nice gift for €17,99!
6. Falke RU4
A great pair of socks that provides good cushioning and offers protection against blisters by reducing pressure points. What runner wouldn't be happy with that? The Falke RU4 is an all-round running sock with an optimal fit for comfortable training runs. Give two pairs of running socks as a gift this December for just €25 (instead of €36)!
7. Nathan Quickstart hydration backpack
Good preparation is half the battle: if you are going to run a longer distance, a hydration pack is a must-have. This way, you stay hydrated without holding a bottle in your hand or a bouncing backpack that you constantly have to take on and off. A compact and high-quality hydration pack with a 3-liter capacity is the Nathan Quickstart . You can buy it at RunX for €39,99!
Garmin Forerunner 8
Do you want to go all out with a big gift? Then go for the Garmin Forerunner 245. This sports watch features, among other things, a route tracker, measures blood oxygen levels, and has a trackback option. Moreover, the battery life is almost twice as long as the Forerunner 45 and the image quality is better. Take advantage of the December promotion at RunX and give a fantastic gift for €249,99!
9. Arm lamp
We can't say it often enough: good lighting while running is essential! The RunX LED armband is lightweight, adjustable, and features various flash options. For just €11,99, you can make a runner happy with it!
10. RunX gift card
Do you need a last-minute gift? And don't know what would make your running friend happy? You can't really go wrong with a gift card .
