If you are looking for a gift for a running friend or family member, I’ve rounded up some of my favorite running items that come in at $25 or under. I tried to think a little outside the box for this gift guide for runners: running jewelry, a running-themed candle, cozy slippers post-run, and a training journal. I did include the standard running socks and sunglasses, but you can never have too many pairs of either!
Tap or click on any of the pictures to shop the item. The only item I wasn’t able to link were my favorite hair ties for running, unfortunately, as the retailer is not associated with LTK. But check out everything else linked in the picture or below.
Skida headbands – I have too many of these headbands to count and every time I wear one, I get asked about them. You can shop the full selection of patterns on Skida’s website.
Amazon fuzzy slippers – I now have these slippers in two colors and wear them all the time. (Currently wearing them as I type this!) Also, they are 50% off for Black Friday.
Running necklace – Etsy has a wide variety of running-related jewelry, and there was so much cute stuff! (My apologies as the necklace I linked is actually no longer under $25 as the discounted sale is now over.)
Believe Training Journal – I have used this training journal multiple times over the years, and it is still one of my favorites for keeping track of my daily runs.
lululemon Hooded Mitten/Glove – A transitional pair of mittens to gloves is great for cold runs because my hands often start out cool and then heat up as I start running. Plus, they are on sale.
Spi Belt – Whenever I make a ‘get ready with me’ reel for Instagram, I always get asked what holder I am using to carry my phone, and this is it! So slim and it doesn’t bounce while I’m running!
Running-themed candle – I had no idea running-themed candles existed until I started looking around on Etsy. Such a unique gift for a runner who has everything!
TIY hair ties – After I started using these hair ties this spring, I am obsessed. I love the fun colors, and they hold my hair so well when running.
Goodr sunglasses – Nothing beats the cost of these sunglasses and the fact they stay put while you’re running.
Stance socks – I love how the heel tab on these socks comes up higher than so many other brands because I have quite a few pairs of shoes that also come up higher on my heel.
If you want some additional ideas, check out my gift ideas for under $50. I share my favorite water bottle, recovery sandals, a must-read running book, and cute hats for winter runs.
