Stocking Stuffers for Runners
Stocking stuffers should be a mix of practical and just plain fun. Performance socks and running fuel don’t make a WOW gift on their own but they help plump up the stocking and replenish some much-used items your favorite runner relies on. Meanwhile, you’ve got your motivational jewelry and silly shoe wings that’ll make for one holly, jolly jogger.
2018 Running Calendar
With running tips and training ideas, this will be a gift that keeps giving all through the new year.
Knotty Tiger
So much better than a lacrosse ball! Shaped for easy grip (why get a cramp in your hand while trying to de-cramp your shoulder?), these new tool from TigerTail USA is a great gift for your pavement pounding loved one.
No Tie Shoelaces
Inexpensive and worth-a-try. Great for runners who get muddy a lot.
Electrolytes + Caffeine
The best hydration product out there. Plus it is certified gluten free, vegan, non-GMO sourced, soy/dairy free, and safe for clean sport!

The Inner Runner
Here is a book that will validate everything your favorite runner feels and thinks about running. It is not about how to get faster or run a marathon; rather, it explores how the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other helps you be your best you.
Fastchews from Saltstick
The ONLY chewable tablet formulated to closely resemble the electrolyte profile lost in sweat. I’ve used the Saltstick capsules but like the melt-in-your-mouth, tasty chews. Just as easy to take and just as effective on the run.
Touch Screen Gloves
If he or she doesn’t already have some, they need some.
Reflective Vest
Make sure your favorite runner is safe through the winter months!
Although, if you want to really wow your runner with an amazing vest, don’t make it a stocking stuffer. Check out the new and improved Road Noise vest design. You’ll have to pony up a little more cash but it is a fabulous piece of equipment for your sweaty audiophile.
Motivational Bracelet
Courage. Perseverance. Believe. Give them a mantra to run by! I have two of these and love them!
Endorphin Warrior Training Bracelets for $20.00
Many different sayings available.
Training Journal
Everyone runner needs one if they really want to improve.
Organic Energy Chews
It’s like runner’s candy. And honestly these are the best-tasting in my opinion.
Anti-Chafe Balm
Practical and irreplaceable. Can never have enough body glide.
4-inch Foam Roller
It’s not the size, it’s how you use it, right? Horrible joke. Okay, well…this may be tough to squeeze into a stocking anyway. But it’s still a great body maintenance tool and compact enough for a gym bag or travel bag.
Ponytail Ear Warmer
So many fun prints. Warm ears equal happy runners!
Fleece Neck Warmer
Headband? Face mask? Neck warmer? It can be any of those.
Recovery Flip Flops
Designed to reduce pain and increase blood flow after a long run. I mean…why not?
LED Safety Lights
Daytime or nighttime, sometimes it’s easier to get them to clip on a light instead of putting on an whole vest.
Good Running Socks!
So many socks, so little time. Here are a few links to some winners:
Saucony Men’s 6 Pack No Show for $12.99
Balega Blister Resist in many colors for $7 to $14
Gone For A Run Socks in many styles and colors from $9 to $22.
Running Shoe Charms
Totally better than a bumper sticker. Get 13.1 or 26.2 or pick from other options.
Shoe Lace Decor
Have a runner who goes all out for races? These are guaranteed to cause smiles.
Shwings Lace-On Wings/ Mustaches/ Flames/ Etc for under $10
Athletic Body Wipes
A quick clean-up is great for run commuters and lunch runners. Also superb for relay runners, campers and distance hikers.
Massage On A Rope
My absolute most-favorite myofascial release tool. Also, my kid thinks it’s a great toy.
Tiger Tail Tiger Ball for $24.95
No Bounce Running Belt
Seriously. Retire the fanny pack and get a low profile SPIbelt for your keys/phone/whatever you have to pack with you.
Running Necklace
It’s a sweet sentiment for your faithful runner. The heart says Believe. Faith. Prayer.
LED Armbands
Okay, so if the vest and the clip on lights aren’t your runner’s thing…these are also super effective and really popular at overnight relays. They can easily go over jacket sleeve and make your runner super visible and therefore super safe.
What do you want in your stocking?
Tell me in the comments below. Post a link!
Great list! Although I want most of these for myself, lol.
Lock laces and a good reflective vest are a definite must! I keep seeing that massage on a string thing and would love to try it! Great list!
