Top 10 Unique Gifts for Joggers and Marathon Runners

Jogger / Runner Wine Bottle Holder / Caddie / Caddy

Amazon Price: $94.99 (as of 05/31/2012)

This is a sculpture of a jogger that also holds a bottle of wine! For the perfect present, give this with a favorite bottle of wine!

Great gift idea for the running enthusiast who already has all of the necessary apparel and accessories!

Timex T5G971 Unisex Sports Personal Heart Rate Monitor Watch

Amazon Price: $37.50 (as of 05/31/2012)

This watch is great for training for a marathon, or for exercising if you want to know how much of a work-out you're getting! It comes with a wireless chest strap which broadcasts the heart rate to the timer, which then keeps track of it doing your workout. It even can give an audible alert to let you know when you're in the "zone." It keeps a memory of your heart rate so you can review your average and peak rates. A very handy tool for the serious jogger!

Nathan Trek 22-Ounce Angled Holster Hydration Waist Pack (Black)

Amazon Price: $19.40 (as of 05/31/2012)

This has lots of positive reviews. Runners like it because it can be worn snugly enough that it doesn't bounce around while running, plus it is large enough to hold a phone, keys, and other necessities, in addition to the insulated water bottle.

Great gift idea for the runner who doesn't have an easy way to carry water, a wallet, keys, etc.

Phubby SPORT - The Wrist Cubby / Arm Wallet for Phone / iPod / PDA (Stone Medium)

Amazon Price: $10.04 (as of 05/31/2012)

I always have my MP3 player with me, but I usually have to either hold it or stick it in my pocket... Which means I have to wear a pair of pants that have pockets... And then most recently the headphone cord started breaking from being pushed the wrong way in my pocket. Anyway I've admired how other joggers put their MP3 player on their arm, and this looks like a good solution!

Columbia Unisex Hemlock Ridge Pullover Fleece Jacket

Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)

For some people a fleece shirt like this may be more for after the run than during, but either way, it's an ideal gift for those jogging in cold climates!

Running Dessert Funny Women's Light T-Shirt by CafePress

Amazon Price: $29.50 (as of 05/31/2012)

I just think this is a cute and funny shirt! Not only will it make for some laughter, but it's likely to create discussion all day long! It's one of those shirts that's hard to ignore.

I Love/Heart Running Totebag (Cotton Tote / Bag)

Amazon Price: $17.99 (as of 05/31/2012)

Spenco Polysorb Total Support, Women's 11-12 / Men's 10-11

Amazon Price: $18.89 (as of 05/31/2012)

These insoles can go in any pair of shoes, so it's a practical gift that any runner can use.... It provides extra heel and arch support. I started buying these after experiencing foot pain.

I think a pair of insoles might be a nice gift for a runner... They could extend the time that a pair of shoes can be worn for. When you run a lot, you go through shoes... But sometimes replacing the insoles make the shoes last a bit longer.

ASICS Hera Quarter Running Socks

Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)

Good socks are important... but may not be something that a runner would buy for themselves. And you can never have too many socks! A new pair will replace an old, worn pair.

Stick Runner Charm/Pendant -14K/10K, Stainless Steel or Gold Plated

Amazon Price: (as of 05/31/2012)

Great jewelry gift idea for her!

GOGO Thick Solid Color Wrist Wallets, 6 Pieces Assorted Colors

Amazon Price: $11.92 (as of 05/31/2012)

These wrist wallets are soft, so they won't rub and irritate the skin. They are designed to hold money, credit cards, and keys.

Trying to figure out what to do with your keys is always a problem when out running....... I've seen some people put them in their bra! I think this is a more comfortable solution.
