BEST GIFTS FOR WALKERS:
1. Goodr Sunglasses
Every walker, runner, hiker, biker, golfer, (you get the idea) needs a pair of Goodr sunglasses. They’re super lightweight and designed with nonslip materials so they don’t budge even while sweating.
All pairs come with polarized lenses and only cost between $25-$35! They also come in a ton of fun styles and colors. I own a pair and have bought several as gifts. They’re always a winner!
2. Balega Socks
A good pair of quality athletic socks is often just as important as a good pair of shoes. Socks are essential for keeping feet dry, comfortable and blister free.
This pair is lightweight while offering compressive arch support and ventilation panels to keep feet dry and supported.
3. Performance Hat
Whether they’re concerned about sun exposure or keeping sweat off their face, all walkers need some type of moisture-wicking athletic hat.
This one is a great basic style that comes in a ton of colors. It also comes in a men’s version here.
4. Handheld Water Bottle
Not only is this handheld water bottle perfect for staying hydrated while walking, it also comes with a zippered pouch that is great for holding a phone, keys, ID, etc.
The hand strap is comfortable and fully adjustable making it super easy to take along on even their longest walks.
5. Walking Shoes
Every walker needs a good pair of high-quality walking shoes. New Balance shoes are durable and comfortable, but there are so many other brands that are great as well (Brooks, Nike, Hoka, etc.)
If you’re not sure what brand or style they’ll love, get them a gift card to a local running store and the experts will assist them in finding the perfect shoe for their needs.
6. Yoga Mat
Whether they enjoy an occasional yoga class, a good stretch after a long walk, or use it as a space to get some strength training in, a high-quality yoga mat is a great gift idea.
There are so many affordable options out there, but Jade Yoga mats are absolutely worth the extra investment (and reviewers agree!). Lululemon and Manduka have great options too.
7. Garmin Smartwatch
Garmin makes the absolute best watches for active people. From walking and running to swimming and pilates, this watch can track a wide range of activities and metrics.
Whether they’re interested in total steps taken, distance covered, or heart rate, this watch can track it (and so much more!) Definitely one of the most useful gifts for walkers.
8. Bone Conduction Bluetooth Headphones
These headphones are all the rage in the running community, and they’re perfect for walkers too!
They work via bone conduction technology so that nothing is actually inside the ear, allowing the wearer to hear all of their surroundings while still hearing their music/podcast/etc. Super important for staying safe while walking outside!
9. Beanie
If they live somewhere with cold winters, they’ll get a ton of use out of a warm winter hat. This one from Smartwool is cozy, comfortable, and perfect for those chilly winter mornings.
Gloves and ear warmers also make great gifts for walkers in cold climates.
10. High-Quality Activewear
Lululemon makes the best clothing for active people. Their items tend to be pricier than your average t-shirt or shorts, but the quality is amazing and 100% worth the price tag.
And since many people don’t like spending that kind of money on activewear for themselves, it makes a perfect gift!
11. Slippers
Anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet will appreciate a nice pair of slippers. These are made with high-density memory foam so they’re super comfortable.
Perfect for tired feet after walking all those miles!
12. Theragun Mini
This is a great recovery tool for anyone who suffers from sore muscles, cramps, or tension. Theragun makes the best handheld massage devices that provide targeted relief to even the hardest to reach muscles.
The Theragun Mini is super compact and easy for travel or people who are always on the go. It also comes with a case for easy storage.
13. Anti Blister Balm
This isn’t necessarily a glamorous gift idea, but it sure is useful. BodyGlide Anti Blister Balm is a life saver when it comes to preventing painful blisters and rubbing.
This would be a great stocking stuffer for anyone who enjoys being active.
14. 100 Hikes of a Lifetime Book
A collection of 100 bucket-list worthy hikes from around the world. If they have an interest in hiking, they’ll love this!
Not only is the photography gorgeous, it also includes travel information, tips, and recommendations. You might just inspire them to book their next vacation!
15. Vuori Joggers
There are a million different athletic wear brands out there, but Vuori outdoes them all in the jogger department.
Not only are these great for walking, they’re perfect for travel, lounging, and around town errands. They’re stretchy, moisture-wicking, and come in some really cool colors.
16. SPIbelt
Walking hands-free is way more enjoyable than fumbling with a phone, keys, ID, etc. This belt expands to fit all their essentials and clips around the waist.
The best part? It doesn’t move or bounce while they’re out walking. So convenient and would even be great for traveling.
17. Cookbook
A cookbook with easy, healthy recipes is a great gift for someone who loves being active and eating well. This one is great for runners and walkers.
The recipes are quick, easy, and seriously delicious (the superhero muffins are a crowd-fav!). They’re also nutritious without being bland or boring.
18. ROAD iD Sport Band
Staying safe should always be a priority when exercising. This sport band gives the wearer (and their loved ones) some peace of mind if they were ever to encounter an emergency.
The band is comfortable and the plate comes engraved with important information like the wearer’s name and emergency contacts. It also comes in a bunch of fun colors and designs.
19. Sunscreen
Sunscreen is super important for anyone who likes to walk or exercise outside, and this brand is the absolute best! It’s super lightweight, scent free and clear (no more white residue!)
It’s also the perfect makeup primer and even works well for men with facial hair.
20. Hands Free Dog Leash
If their walks often include a furry friend, a hands free dog leash is a super useful gift idea. This one includes a removable pouch for holding a phone, keys, bags, treats, etc.
There are also two handles for when it’s necessary to keep their dog close by.
21. Traction Cleats
If they enjoy walking outside even in the winter, a pair of traction cleats will ensure they can do so safely.
This pair fits over any shoe or boot and allows for secure, stable walking on snow or ice. They’ll never have to worry about slipping again!
22. Audible Membership
If they love listening to podcasts or audiobooks on their walks, a membership to Audible would be a great gift.
Audible has everything from fiction and mysteries to memoirs and romance. No matter what they like to read or listen to, everyone can find something they’ll love.
23. OOFOS
These shoes are amazing at helping to relieve sore joints and muscles. They’re made from a thick foam material that absorbs impact and provides relief to the wearer’s feet, joints, and back. They are the perfect recovery shoe!
These are also great for anyone who has ever suffered from plantar fasciitis or generally spends a lot of time on their feet.
