Are you still rushing around trying to get all of those last minute gifts bought, wrapped and ready to go? Or is that just me? Recently, I came across Oprah’s Favorite things list. She describes curating her list with things she loves to give as well as things she loves to use. I’ve modeled my favorite things gift guide for fitness fanatics the same way.

A few of my favorite things-gift guide for fitness fanatics

Running accessories

I’ve decided fun winter running hats are my new accessory. I just found this super cute Furtalk with a pony tail port on top. Stay warn on your run and look fashionable.

favorite things for fitness fanatics

Anyone else constantly losing their running gloves? I also feel like I need a few different options for different temps. Just picked up a pair of these Nike’s and so far so good.

I was late to the game with the Aftershokz and thanks to Bibrave, I finally got to try a pair. Full review coming soon. A gift any runner, walker or gym goer would love to receive. Hear your music and hear what’s going on around you.

Favorite Things for your Home Gym

Something every gym needs-a stability ball. I use mine for just about every workout for both balance and strength training moves. So reasonably priced in lots of fun colors grab one for yourself and a friend here.

Favorite Things Treat Yourself

I actually found these Mount Mansfield flavor infused maple syrups on Oprah’s list and added them to my favorite things list as well. Thought some my friends would enjoy the coffee infused or bourbon infused syrups on some post run pancakes. I may have purchased a few on Black Friday. Find them for yourself here.

And finally, pamper those feet! Reward your feet for all the hard work they put in. I do not have a pair of these Vionic slippers (yet) but I’d love to receive a pair myself. With a built in orthotic foot bed, they are a runner’s recovery dream.

    I haven’t heard of those slippers, but you can bet I’m going to add them to my list!!! My Uggs are wearing out.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/07/2018 at 8:42 am

      I like the idea of the orthotic inside instead of the flat uggs. I want a pair as well!

    Aftershokz had a BOGO sale on Black Friday so I bought Alex a pair and will keep the free pair for myself. I’ve been dying to break open the box but I feel like I have to wait!

    The hat with the ponytail hole is genius.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/07/2018 at 8:43 am

      I hope you and Alex enjoy your aftershokz!

    I always lose my running gloves! I even lost one on the run last year because I’d taken it off and tucked them in my waistband. So I’m in the market. And I’ve decided I need that cap with the ponytail port! It’s not cold enough here very often but I love that my pony can fly free! 🤣

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/07/2018 at 8:52 am

      The ponytail ports are the best! Your hair has to fly free 🙂

  4. Annmarie says

    12/07/2018 at 9:06 am

    Oooh those gloves look niiiice. I asked for a pair from Santa this year – hope he picked some up for me 😉

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/07/2018 at 9:17 am

      I hope so too! These are the perfect loves so far love them

    Digging those headphones and those slippers look super comfortable. Love these gifts!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/07/2018 at 11:59 pm

      I hope I get a pair of those slippers!

  6. Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudy says

    12/07/2018 at 9:42 am

    I do love my fleece lined ponytail hat. 🙂

    I don’t have any Vionics, either, but I’m always looking at them.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/07/2018 at 11:59 pm

      Yes everyone seems to love them

  7. Kim G says

    12/07/2018 at 9:46 am

    I really love that winter running hat with the ponytail hole. That would really come in handy for me over the next few months!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:03 am

      well I agree! Cannot have too many

  8. Darlene says

    12/07/2018 at 9:51 am

    Great ideas. I need those headphone and those slippers look wonderful.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:03 am

      I really want to get myself a pair of the slippers

  9. Coco says

    12/07/2018 at 10:07 am

    These are great! I’m so excited to have a chance to try the Aftershokz! Since my hair is short I don’t need a ponytail hole. 😉

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:04 am

      I know you are going to love them!

  10. [email protected] says

    12/07/2018 at 10:34 am

    I feel like all of these would be perfect gifts for my mom!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:04 am

      Let me know if you decide to get her one. I think the slippers anyone would love

  11. Megan @ Meg Go Run says

    12/07/2018 at 10:46 am

    Those Nike gloves look warm. What temperature are they good for?

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:05 am

      I have been using them the last 2 weeks w temps in the 30’s

  12. Fairytales and fitness says

    12/07/2018 at 11:00 am

    Ooh I’d like those slippers too!
    Thanks for linking up!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:05 am

      They do look cozy!

  13. Laurie says

    12/07/2018 at 11:27 am

    Love your gift suggestions. Comfy slippers for after a run? Yes, please! I thought the maple syrup was booze when I first saw the picture! 😀

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:06 am

      The syrup does look so good kind of wish I had bought an extra for myself too

  14. The Accidental Marathoner says

    12/07/2018 at 12:37 pm

    All the items in your post are so color-coordinated! I love those Nike gloves. My son bought me a pair of running gloves for Christmas last year, but they just don’t cut it in temps below freezing. I’ll have to check them out. Those slippers look so comfy!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:06 am

      When it is super super cold, I add hand warmers into my gloves. The slippers do look great don’t they

  15. Kimberly Hatting says

    12/07/2018 at 2:36 pm

    Great list! I need to hit up the ActivMotion site and play Santa for myself. Like, today! Those syrups sound delish, too 😉

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:07 am

      The syrups do look amazing kind of wish I had bought an extra one for myself

  16. Michelle @ Running with Attitude says

    12/07/2018 at 3:35 pm

    I’m on the constant hunt for new running gloves – largely because I keep losing one! I like the look of those Nike gloves.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 12:08 am

      I am loving them so far!

  17. Cari says

    12/08/2018 at 5:56 pm

    I love that hat! I found a hairband with a ponytail holder but never seen this before. Filed away for when hair is longer again.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 9:24 pm

      I am loving them!

  18. Angela Cardamone @marathonsandmotivation.com says

    These are all great gift ideas! I LOVE my Aftershokz headphones so much too.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 9:24 pm

      They are really unique aren’t they!?

  19. Farrah says

    12/08/2018 at 8:06 pm

    I need those gloves in my life–it’s been so cold lately! And yay for Aftershokz! <3

    • Deborah Brooks says

      12/08/2018 at 9:24 pm

      Cannot have too many pairs of gloves!

  20. Esther says
