1. A healthy, eco friendly drink bottle

There are a huge variety of drink bottles on the market, and they make fantastic gifts for fitness lovers. Hydration is crucial to performance, and even if your loved one already has a drink bottle, it can be useful to have a second one.

As a health and fitness coach, I know that many people struggle with simple things such as getting organized. Forgetting one’s drink bottle is a common occurrence! Having an extra drink bottle on hand means that your loved one can keep one at work or at the gym, so they never have to worry about forgetting it. It’s just one small gesture that will help them move closer to their goals. Hopefully, it will also eliminate the need to buy plastic bottles.

Personally, I would recommend purchasing a stainless steel or glass drink bottle. These make great fitness gifts because they have been designed with both health, and the environment in mind. This means they also make great gifts for eco lovers. This stainless steel double walled bottle (BPA free) is a very good choice. Having an appropriate lid for easy access while exercising makes all the difference because you don’t need to stop and unscrew the lid.

Sometimes this can mean the difference between drinking sufficient water, or not because it’s a ‘hassle’. Additionally, the bottles should last almost forever, but the lids do need replacing. Glass drink bottles are also a good eco-friendly drink bottle option. Personally, I had a glass bottle once and tripped over while I was carrying it, and it smashed to pieces. It had a cover around it (luckily) so the glass was contained under my body weight. I’ll stick to stainless steel from now on though!

2. A sprouting starter kit

Soaking foods like nuts, seeds, grains and legumes can help provide the body with added nutrition. Food also becomes easier to digest. Sprouting takes it a step further and is simple to do. Sprouting kits make excellent gifts for nutrition lovers and fitness lovers who are focused on nourishing foods. Every if they already have a sprouting jar, it can be useful to have a few of them to sprout more than one thing at a time.

3. A book or dvd

There are numerous amazing books and dvds on offer for health and fitness lovers. Think about what your loved one is most into. Consider a book or DVD that focuses on that topic, or maybe even signing them up for Amazon Prime so they can watch a range of titles for free.

How to eat, move, and be healthy is one of my all-time top recommendations for a great book about holistic health and fitness. Written by by fitness industry guru Paul Chek, This was one of the first books that inspired me towards a holistic health and fitness approach. It’s suitable for the everyday person and provides solutions for different areas of health including exercise, nutrition and sleep.

4. A kombucha starter kit

Most health and fitness lovers have probably heard about the benefits of fermented foods and drinks. Maybe you’ve even heard your loved one talking about drinks such as water kefir or kombucha? These can be quite expensive to buy when they’re ‘ready-made’, but it’s pretty easy to make your own at home, for a tiny fraction of the price of a ‘bought one’. So a kombucha starter kit is one of my favorite gift ideas for fitness lovers.

5. A good quality yoga mat

Whether your loved one is an experienced yogi, or you know they just want to get into a regular yoga habit, yoga mats make excellent gift ideas for fitness lovers. A high-quality yoga mat should last for years, and it can be a lot nicer to practice on than many of the cheap varieties. A yoga mat features on our list of top recommendations for home exercise equipment (as recommended by the pros).

Choose an eco-friendly yoga mat like this, which is durable, and made from eco-friendly material (no latex, PVC or toxic chemicals in sight). An eco-friendly yoga mat can be one of the best gifts for yoga lovers because many budding yogis also have a strong awareness of environmental issues.

6. Sweat-proof ear phones

Are you looking for gifts for fitness lovers who also like music? Maybe your loved one enjoys zoning out with their favorite tunes to distract themselves from exercise, or they just like to hit the gym without talking to people?! Luckily there are options for sweat-proof earphones that are designed with fitness buffs in mind.

7. A foam roller

If you know that your loved one suffers from muscle aches, pains, and tightness, a foam roller can help a lot. Not only for aches and pains, foam rollers can also help a lot with workout performance, and also recovery. There are a lot of cheap brands out there. Feel free to shop around but be aware that the materials used may not last as well as some of the high-quality brands. One that I highly recommend and use myself is trigger point performance. Their trigger point foam rollers come with free online instructional videos.

As well as foam rollers there are a number of other great products for muscle release that come in under $50. These include massage sticks and trigger point balls (if you buy these on their own they’ll be under $20). For under $100 you can get a full set including 2 trigger point balls, a calf roller, quad roller and block, which is the best value option.

To understand more about why trigger point therapy tools make great gifts for healthy living, you can read about how to use a trigger point ball to release muscle tightness.

Fitbit trackers have lots of features including the ability to track sleep, an inbuilt GPS, and even personalized guided breathing sessions based on the user’s heart rate.

    Elly, these are great suggestions. I jotted several down for my family. However, it was not to buy for them but instead for them to buy for me. LOL…
