A Christmas question for runners please

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Dp is a keen runner and I want to do him a 'Runner's Hamper' for one of his Christmas presents. And ideas for what else I could put in it please (nothing too expensive)? So far I've got -

socks
gloves
Energy bar things from the running shop
A water bottle
A magazine

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

A pair of lock lace things which mean you don't have to tie your laces again.

I think they are actually called Lock Laces, they sell them on Wiggle for £5, they're great.

Hat.
High viz led lights or reflective snap on strips if he runs in the dark.
Head torch...as above.
Deep Heat

Maybe I should show dh this thread, what a lovely idea

Running hat for winter

Arm band pouch for iPod

Voucher to download music to run to

Deeep Heat = genius!
He doesn't have an i-pod or listen to music when he runs. Will deffo get some reflector thingies.
What is a running hat - how does it differ from his usual nasty fleece hat?

Thank you so much for these.

Seem to have gained an 'e' there!

You can get lightweight running hats, or even a headband, they're less sweaty than normal hats and easier to tuck into your waistband or bumbag once you get hot.

Thank you. :)

Sunday bump for anybody not watching Coldplay!

Hi viz vest? I have a meshy one that has reflective bits and useful for putting over whatever you are wearing to run in.

Lightweight running top? You can never have enough tops....

A buff....nice neck warming stretchy thing.
Voucher for a sports massage.

Thank you both. He has a high viz vest and far more running tops than I think he needs! Voucher for a massage is a brilliant idea but probably too expensive. Have never heard of a buff but will google immediately!

do you have a "sports Direct" shop near by? they have masses of really great bargains.

I second the lock laces. How about recovery drink mix? Cap for summer running? sunglasses? I was given a pair of armwarmers from my husband (he bought them for himself but they were not long enough) and they are great for running where you start off a bit chilly-I take them off if I get too warm on a run and tie them around my water bottle. this type
A running hamper - A lovely idea!
