As a self-confessed health enthusiast, I’ve dipped my feet into just about every health, wellness, and fitness trend out there. So you bet, when it comes to gift ideas for fitness lovers, I’ve curated a list that’s spot-on for your gym-going pals, your daily jog buddies, or those friends who are always up for a healthy challenge, all from experience. From wearables that won’t quit to gear that gets them excited for that next workout, these ideas are recommended by yours truly. Let’s dive in!
Whether it be for yoga, pilates, home workouts, strength training, or stretching, these resistance bands are different than your typical latex ones. Instead, they’re made of a higher-quality woven elastic and never feel like they’re going to slip down! This set of three (light, medium, and heavy) also comes with a carrying case to slip into their gym bag.
This is my new favorite crewneck pullover. It’s incredibly comfy, the perfect fit, and comes in 6 different colors. Definitely putting this on my Christmas wish list.
Get this for the gym-goer who can’t seem to guzzle enough water. It’s the next size up from the classic Stanley tumbler, and with the flip straw top, you don’t have to worry about it spilling.
I recently got these Nike fleece sweatpants, and they’re so luxuriously comfy. She’ll change into these immediately when she opens them up on Christmas day.
After work every day, I change out of my day shoes and slip into these recovery slides to give my feet a break. They practically massage my feet with every step.
If you haven’t yet tried the Lululemon Align leggings… I don’t know how to convince you they’re 100% worth it, but you’re going to have to trust me. Unfortunately, you’ll never be able to settle for a different pair of leggings ever again. Obsessed with this blue color.
I have these, and they’re my favorite pair of everyday sneakers! They’re super comfy, totally check the trendy box, and you can actually wear them with everything.
If you want to add a new wellness product to your home wellness routine, this infrared sauna blanket might totally change your life. Of course, there are incredible benefits to sauna use, and now, you can wrap yourself in this without having to either go to a public sauna or build one in your backyard.
Gift this massage gun to the person in your life who’s always sore. Don’t forget to check the $10 off coupon!
If you didn’t know, lowcut socks are out, and crew socks are in. Gift these to the person in your life who might be a bit behind on the trend, and they’ll get the hint.
If there’s anybody in your life who doesn’t yet have the viral Lululemon belt bag, give them a hand by gifting this fleece version. They’ll love it but still get to stand out from the crowd.
You may have heard that cold plunging is all the rage these days because there are so many health benefits to cold water immersion! If you know someone who’s been wanting to give it a try but doesn’t want to invest too much money, surprise them with this!
According to Chris, Vuori has hands-down the best men’s t-shirts—softest material, has the greatest fit through the sleeves and body, is breathable, and has a great color selection.
If you know someone who works from home and is also constantly trying to get their steps in, gift them this walking pad! We have one in the CLJ office, and we all take desk breaks on the walking pad. Check the $60 off coupon!
I’ve been using this pre-workout and have been seeing such good results from it! My mental focus and physical strength have increased, plus it tastes delicious.
The Vitamix is definitely an investment blender, but upon testing a bunch of the “best” blenders, this one crushed it and came out on top. Would make a great family gift as well!
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]
