Are you still struggling to find a great gift for the runners in your life?  Here are some ideas that you may not have thought of, and will likely bring a smile to anyone's face!

Whether used as a tool to help alleviate the pain of plantar fasciitis, or as just a nice foot massage tool to use after a run, the Foot Rubz massage ball is a great stocking stuffer, and one of the best items most runners don't know they need, until they use it.  $5.95

"Candy for Athletes" will always make a great stocking stuffer.  GU Energy Gel, Clif Shot, Shot Blocks and GU Chomps are a great way to fuel while running, or to consume just before a run for those who don't like to workout on an empty stomach.  They all come in multiple flavors and in various levels of caffeination, and can be purchased individually or in a box (with a volume discount!).   Range from $1.25 to $2.50

OK, so this one isn't exactly flying off the shelves.  As a matter of fact, they've been sitting here since the late 1980's.  I'm not even sure if Second Wind still exists as a company.  But hey, it might make a funny "White Elepant" gift for your office holiday party.  Or, if Mom or Dad rock the Brooks Addiction Walker in all black, it may even be put to use.   $3.95 (or best offer)

Running socks can be a bit tricky sometimes.  Many runners have a strong personal preference one way or the other...some people like thick, cushioned socks while others prefer something light and breathable.  Balega Hidden Comfort socks are a crowd-pleasing, happy medium.  Cushioned on the bottom, thin and breathable on the top, and finished with a soft and smooth texture that not many can resist.  Available in white, black, no-show, low top, 1/4 top, and crew lengths as well.  $9.95

I'll start this one off with a bit of relationship advice: No matter how much they run, this is probably not a great gift for your wife or girlfriend.  But for the stinky caveman in your life, this stuff really does work wonders on those wet, rancid shoes in his closet or trunk.   If he wears Vibram Fivefingers, or any other shoe designed to be worn without socks, they can take care of the stink that the washing machine can't.    $9.95

The Headsweats Midcap is the perfect weight for the majority of winter weather in the Bay Area.  Just the right weight to keep your noggin from freezing but not overheat when you start cranking along.  It's also thin enough to be worn under a bike helmet.  Oh and the best part...The TRANSPORTS logo!  Also available in other colors and without the logo.  But trust me, you'll want that logo.    $17.95

Now that days are short and nights are long, many of your loved ones are forced to run in the dark.  There are quite a few products we sell to help them be seen (reflective vests, arm or leg bands, etc), but Knuckle Lights will also help them see where they're going.  They're great at illuminating dark sidewalks and streets, and when used in concert with a headlamp, can help anyone run the trails when the sun is still in bed.    $39.95

Carrying fluids to hydrate on the run can be a challenge.  There are vests and belts as well, but the handheld options are our best-sellers.  The Nathan Quickdraw carries more fluid, but the Spint is lighter and has a nozzle that much easier to use...just squeeze the bottle and the valve opens to create a single stream that's easy to drink.  Each model has a pouch to carry keys, energy gels, or even a smartphone.   $19.95 (Sprint) and $24.95 (Quickdraw)

No paint.  No plastic.  Just sustainably harvested bamboo, stainless steel, and a food grade silicone (for the edge of the cap).  Your water will never come in contact with plastic.  It will also never look as good while you're toting it around.  Even the Klean Kanteen logo is etched onto the side of the bottle to avoid using paint.  Available in both a mirrored finish (pictured) or a brushed finish.  27 oz/800ml.  $32.95

There are a myriad of running watches, heart rate monitors, and speed/distance sensors that we carry, and many of them will suit someones specific needs.  But the Garmin Forerunner 10 packs GPS technology into a unit with a combination of size and simplicity (and color options!) that most runners will appreciate.  Speed, Distance, Time, and calories.  That's it.  And when you're done, you can connect the watch to your computer (which is also how you charge it), and upload your run to see your elevation change, and a map of where you went.    $129.95

If you still can't decide, TRANSPORTS gift cards are always the right size.  They also never expire.  Available in any amount from $1 to $1,000!  Though to be honest, we don't sell that many in the $1,000 range.  But we're ready to work with you, whatever your needs may be!
