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.
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)
My friends at Skirt Sports want to share a little Holiday spirit with you. They are giving one of my readers a Jette Capri.
I ran in the Jette skirt all summer and was really excited to see that there was a capri version available as well. Enter below for a chance to win a Jette Capri Skirt in the color of your choice.
Jette Capri Skirt by Skirt Sports $79.00
These are a couple of my must haves to stay warm this winter. I am currently searching for some warmer gloves so if you have any suggestions for me on gloves, please send them my way! What’s your favorite warm weather must have?

Sue @ This Mama Runs for Cupcakes says
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!

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
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!

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.

Love it! Good luck and thanks for entering 🙂
