Gift Guide Stay Warm & Skirt Sports Giveaway

Welcome to my Black Friday Gift Guide-Stay warm edition. I also have a fun Skirt Sports giveaway as well. I’m giving you suggestions and letting you in on a few of my must haves to stay warm and comfy this winter. (This post contains affiliate links)

1. SmartWool Reversible Headband

I bought one of these last year and love it! I am not a hat person and this headband keeps my ears toasty warm, does not get sweaty gross and is reversible so you can switch up your look. It washes and dries really well and I will be sporting it all winter this year as well. My #1 must have for winter training.

2. Lululemon Run Swiftly-

I first purchased one of these shirts 3 years ago and I am still wearing it. I now have 3 of them that I rotate. They are a great base layer, they wick away sweat like no other shirt I have. They hold up very well wash after wash and do not smell sweaty. You need one of these! (Approx $68).

3. Skirt Sports Gemini Reversible Jacket

You’ve heard me gush about my love of Skirt Sports many times. I am already loving this jacket. One side has a cozy fleece and the other a shiny water resistant material. I’ve found it to be the perfect weight for runs in the 30’s. I know I will be wearing this one all winter. It comes in pink and black. Retail $100 (check Black Friday sales they are having a big one)

4. Gift Certificate for Hot Yoga class- When it’s chilly outside, there is no better way to recover than a hot yoga class. They can be a little pricy but they make a great gift for that BRF in your life.

5. Skirt Sports Heartbreaker skirt/leggings

I loved my skirts so much this summer that I decided to check out the skirt/legging combo. I’m in love! They are so warm and cover my ankles too. I love the flirty, fashionable skirt over top. It’s a great way to show off your style while staying warm. The one on the left is black on black so hard to see in the picture. ($65-110)

    I love wearing skirts. I love the Jette but it’s too darn short on me…I have really long legs and I feel very uncomforable in it. I wish they would make a Tall version!! Would love to try it over the leggings!

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/28/2014 at 1:45 pm

      I think it would look great on you! They do make a tall version in some of their styles. Good luck

    Great list! I received one of the skirt sports skirts this summer and loved it! I’d like to try the Capri style because I think they’re adorable! And I’d totally love it if someone gave me a hot yoga gift certificate…they are pricey classes and I’ve had to scale back on taking them in favour of running and racing.

    • Deborah Brooks says

      11/29/2014 at 12:09 pm

      They can be pricy but a nice gift for sure! I loved my skirts all summer too and I am really loving the capris and pants. Thanks for entering!

  23. Sami says

    11/29/2014 at 11:25 am

    I love the jette capri! This gift guide is perfect! I would love to take a hot yoga class, I’ve only taken a few yoga classes before but I love it! It’s too bad I can’t fit in everything I’d like to do because i have to work 🙂 I’ll be tweeting about your giveaway!

    It’s funny, I had never worn a skirt before in running and I went on a weekend trip and forgot my running clothes and needed to do a long run. Went to target, thought I grabbed a pair of shorts and low and behold it was a skirt! I LOVED running in it and can’t wait to incorporate more into my running wardrobe.

Hi, I’m Deborah

Successfully raising a husband & 2 young adults in the VA/DC area. I am a lover of all things running & fitness. NASM Certified Nutrition Coach & RRCA Run Coach. As a lifelong vegetarian/pescatarian I’ve always been passionate about healthy living & exercise. Looking for partners in crime, I started my own chapter of Moms Run This Town (MRTT) which has grown to over 800 members. I’ve met so many amazing women who inspire me daily to keep moving forward. You can usually find me running with my crew and training for the next crazy adventure they talked me into.
