Looking for gift ideas for a runner? Here are a few ideas from stocking stuff to everything a runner could want as a present. From socks to running GPS watches you are sure to find something for the runner in your life. So if you know someone who runs, here are the perfect gift ideas!

Performance Socks

These performance socks give you the flexible, seamless foundation your body needs to perform. Treat your feet to hours of frictionless, moisture-wicking love during your next training session.

Fanny Pack

Whether holding phone, keys, whistle or dog treats a fanny pack can be a great stocking stuffer for a runner or walker on your list. 

Luxe Ponytail Hat

This design is all about keeping a cool head—from the soft mesh body to the padded, sweat-wicking headband.

Chill Long T

Both maximum ventilation and coverage —by perforating the fabric with thousands of visible pores. The result is a versatile, quick-dry top that serves as an essential layer for everything from running and walking to hiking and skiing to paddle boarding and swimming.

Anti-chafe, flat seams will keep you comfortable mile after mile, and smooth elastic cuffs let you wear the sleeves pushed up or at the wrist. As a base layer, you can't beat it: the fabric's wicking properties work hand-in-hand with the pores to evaporate sweat faster than ever.

Pocket Light'n'Tight Leggings

This high-performance design offers a firm compression that feels oh-so-supportive whether you plan to run a marathon or just run the day. The pockets are perfect for holding your keys, phone bear spray or whatever you may carry. The added bonus, with the structured waistband you will not be pulling these up, they will stay in place. 

 

Black Reflective Inspire Vest

Sometimes all as that is needed is an added layer on the body core. The strategically placed reflective detail makes it great for running or walking in low light.

Black Reflective Inspire Jacket 

This jacket has you covered, with cold-weather features like thumbhole cuffs, extra insulation, and reflective piping front and back. To help keep you moving, we also included panels of four-way stretch material down each side. You’ll not only feel more free, you’ll sport a slimmer silhouette.

Ascics Gel Cumulus

The GEL-CUMULUS™ 22 running shoe is a recommended choice for neutral runners who want a soft, flexible everyday trainer with a great fit.

Thai Chicken Pizza

On hot summer days I am always looking for ways to cook without heating up the kitchen. I came across this quick and easy recipe that uses leftover chicken and a grill.

Not a lot of dishes used and grilling takes only about 10 minutes. All good in my books!

The best part... it is delicious!

Thai Chicken Pizza 3 tbsp lime juice ⅓ c peanut butter 3 garlic cloves 3 tbsp soy sauce 2 tbsp brown sugar 1 2” piece of fresh gingerroot - grated (2 tsp) 2 tsp Sriracha sauce 3-4 cups leftover chicken shredded or bite sized 2 pieces naan bread 1 medium carrot grated ⅓ seedless cucumber grated ¼ cup loosely packed fresh cilantro leaves - grated
Directions

1) In a mini food processor process the lime juice, peanut butter, garlic, soy sauce, sugar, ginger and

Sriracha sauce until smooth.

2) Reserve ¼ cup of the sauce. Put remaining sauce in a bowl with the chicken and mix.

3) Heat grill (I used a double stovetop grill). Cook naan bread on one end of the grill

(about 2-3 minutes each side )and grill the chicken mixture until warmed.

4) Spread 2 tbsp of the reserved sauce over each piece of bread.

5) Top with the chicken and grated vegetables. Add grated cilantro over the top and serve.

I think this would taste great as a lettuce wrap rather than on naan bread.

Flourless Chocolate Chickpea Muffins

I don't know about you, but I am always looking for healthy snacks. Nourishing your body properly from the inside does wonders for how you feel and how you look. If you eat healthy, you will feel and look good. 

When I came across this recipe I had to try it! Loaded with protein it was definitely something I had to try.

Just look how rich and dark they are.  The first part of something tasting delicious is how good they look, well, my mouth was watering and I was not disappointed.  In fact, rumor has it that even my 5 year old grand daughter likes these (hers of course had the chocolate chips - isn't it amazing how a few chocolate chips will get kids to eat something)

Flourless Chickpea Chocolate Muffins

Ingredients:

2 15 oz can chickpeas, drained, rinsed

6 large eggs

1 cup pure maple syrup

⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa

¼ cup coconut oil, melted

2 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 scoops chocolate protein powder(optional)

⅔ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350
2. Prepare 24 muffin cups by lining with papers or coating with spray - or in my opinion even better - silicone ones
3. Put all ingredients into food processor and process until smooth and divide in muffin tin
4. Top each with chocolate chips if desired
5. Bake for 20 - 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean
6. Cool completely and enjoy.
