Presents for Runners Under $50: Perfect Gift Exchange Ideas

I know, I know we’re talking Christmas gifts before the table has even been set for Turkey…but Colorado snowfalls and Christmas trees everywhere have got me thinking, so it’s just that’s just too bad! Presents for runners should also be a year round thing right…excuses to buy running shoes.

We’re going to start the conversation with stocking stuffers for runners! But honestly, after writing this website since 2007  and testing out products for weekly for brands, I couldn’t just contain it to one list…so in case you need additional ideas:

• Stocking Stuffers Under $20 (when you need to go even cheaper)
• Wellness Gift Guide (helping them recover better!)
• Gifts for Triathletes (get your runner cross training)
• Creative Gifts for Runners
• Trail Running Gifts
• Men’s Fitness Gift Guide

Presents for Runners Under $50

Yup this list has a little bit of something for everyone on your presents for runners list and it won’t break the bank if you need to thank a running buddy or just add something fun to the stocking for the one’s you love.

Plus, these generally work for anyone in your life who loves fitness.

Personalized Running Shoe Keychain – $16+

Nothing says I’m a marathon runner, like having symbols on you everywhere you go. A great way to recognize their achievement.

Bomba Socks – $24

Every sock you buy gives socks to others, that’s a gift that’s hard to beat. A feel good from head to toe, ha!! But truly these are great running socks that are soft and cushioned.

High Density Foam Roller – $14

An evil little tool that will reap mass rewards for those achy feet and glutes, especially while traveling.

I use mine daily and when it doesn’t make me cry, I really love it.

Run To The Finish the BOOK!!! – $12

Yes, it’s written by yours truly and I’m clearly biased.

However, I do think that all of you middle-of-the-pack runners will enjoy my approach to embracing your role in the running lifestyle and staying injury-free!

Some of the topics include:

• Understanding discomfort vs. pain
• The mental side of running
• Movements to treat the most common injuries
• Humor like “Weird Thoughts We all Have at the Start Line”

Do a gal a favor and take a peek over at Amazon.

5lbs Dead Sea Bath Salts – $22

SOAK away the muscle soreness!! It’s 100% worth it. I piled these in the tub after a long run the other day and between the salts and the oils just felt everything relax.

Trust me your runner needs a reminder to sit down sometimes too!

Kudos Medal Coasters $50

I just found this fun new way to display medals and know it’s a runner love! You can put any medal of yours in the enclosed case and voila they’re now displayed as coasters all year round! Bonus because you can easily switch them out as you have new favorites.

SaltStick Electrolyte Capsules ($25)

It doesn’t make my must have list every year for no reason! Cramps are the foe of every runner and I’ve seen these help many keep them at bay.

If you have a sweaty runner in your life, they may not even realize how much electrolytes could help them!

Mantra Bracelet ($28+)

A lot of great options exist for bracelets, but there’s nothing like having a cute, good looking mantra that you can wear to work or with your running watch to keep you focused.

From “keep moving forward” to “I can and I will”, you’ll find an option that fits.

TrailHeads Women’s Headband with Ponytail  Holder – ($10)

While I tend to opt for a full on beanie usually, that’s to hot for many runners who simply want to keep their ears warm.

This one is bonus awesome because of the ponytail hole which just makes it easier to wear.

Runner Strength Training Plan for At Home – $27+

Love working out at home, but need some ongoing ideas to keep it fresh? This is a great way to find new moves or remind you to work muscles in different ways.

Tifosi Savago Sunglasses – $25

The Tifosi Svago features a much lower price point for a highly durable pair of sunglasses. The rounded lens design with a non-slip grip makes them the perfect crossover between running and lifestyle.

The Svago has polycarbonate lenses to provide increased durability by being shatterproof and scratch-resistant. It also provides 100% UVA and UVB protection.

The proprietary Glare Guard™ technology adds a reflective lens coating that reduces glare and eye fatigue, which is perfect to conserve energy while running.

Tifosi glides also allow the frame to slide on comfortably and provide an anti-bounce fit so you don’t have to worry about your sunglasses flying off during a run.

They’re one of the best running sunglasses to get if you’re on a budget.

Lululemon Crossbody Or Everywhere Bags – $38-48

The Crossbody or Everywhere bags from Lululemon are some the more affordable options from the high-end brand. Not only are they stylishe, but they’re also made from water-repellent materials and feature a versatile interior pocket for holding your valuables securely.

The bags also have elastic loops that you can tuck excess strap to into so you can find a perfect, snug fit without that annoying overhang.

Flipbelt – $37

I’ve tested out a few belts and always hated them, until I found FlipBelt.

It’s wide enough that it stays in place and makes a tight fit for keys, phone, cards and more. Plus you can balance the weight around your body.

Car Run Decal – $5+

It’s true I have yet to put one on my car, but I LOVE seeing them because I always know there is a fellow crazy runner nearby.

Runner’s World Magazine – $13.50/1 year

The biggest and most trusted magazine for runners, you’ll definitely be on their mind every month when it shows up. This magazine frequently provides training plans and well yes it’s featured advice from your’s truly a few times!

On Running Cap – $45

Do we have this cap in every color now…yes. First it just looks so clean and slick that we can wear it from workout to errands and feel pulled together. But beyond that it’s thin and the adjustable strap actually makes it fit a smaller head!!
