To pick a perfect Christmas gift, you often need to know someone’s favorite hobby—but every once in a while, it’s not enough. If the hobby in question happens to be fitness, you have to be very particular about the gift you’re choosing for the gym lovers in your life. These three tips will help you pick a perfect present, or at least avoid choosing a bad one.
Look Around
The best way to avoid gifting the gym lovers in your life with things they already have is to pay closer attention. Check out their home gym and see if there are any pieces of equipment they lack that and try to remember if they popped up in your previous conversations about fitness.
Practical Pick
There are certain presents you can never go wrong with. A reusable water bottle or a fitness journal is always a good idea, but you can also consider signing your friend up for that cool new fitness app they can’t stop raving about or buy a box of their favorite protein powder.
Replaceable Gifts
Make sure your gifts are replaceable by always keeping the receipt. Certain gifts, such as workout clothes, may not fit the person you picked them for. There’s also a chance they already have the item you bought or they simply don’t like it or don’t find it useful.
