Athletic Gifts Your Sporty Friends Will Love
The best gifts for athletes fall into one of three camps. The first, we'll call Camp A, consists of presents you know fitness-loving babes will adore, such as Black Lulu leggings, workout equipment, a cool new water bottle, or a fresh pair of sneakers to replace the ones they're about to wear through. These are the sure things, the products you're certain will be a hit because they already use them. Camp B includes the presents for your sporty friends who actually love, well, sports. Maybe they've been missing the camaraderie of going to games during the pandemic, and you want to get them something that'll remind them of cheering-til-you-lose-your-voice times past. Then there's Camp C: Gifts your active pals need — even if they don't know it yet. These are the niche, unique products that might have your favorite people scratching their heads when they first unwrap them. But, trust us, two weeks later, they'll be texting you about how obsessed they are with your find.All types of athletic gifts are winners. They'll feel great to give, and your sporty friends will be psyched to receive them. Here are a few of our favorite options in all three categories. MOBOT Bertha 40 oz. Foam Roller Water BottleThis is just genius. It's a water bottle, that's also a foam roller. And it really works! It's strong as hell, so you can put your full weight on it to roll out any kinks. This innovative product is clever — once your friend is hitting the gym again, they'll be grateful to save the space in their gym bag — and it's a great conversation starter too. Who can resist asking, "Wait, is your water bottle... also a foam roller?" MOBOT MOBOT Bertha 40 oz. Foam Roller Water Bottle, $, available at Anthropologie, MOBOTTiem Slipstream The black and gold colorway of these high performance cycling shoes is so chic, and a limited edition, so your friend will be sure to stand out once cycling studios open up again. Even if they exclusively use them on their home bike, they'll fall in love with the super-breathable upper and the slip-on fit — it's as comfy as a sneaker, but doesn't sacrifice performance. (The cleats are sold separately.)

As much as it's about sports, it's also about taking a stand for what you believe in. Throughout the book, Rapinoe unpacks the pay gap, systemic racism, and why she took a knee during the national anthem following Colin Kaepernick's lead. It's a motivating read that will inspire anyone you gift it to — and maybe even kick off your 2021 book club.Penguin Random House One Life By Megan Rapinoe and Emma Brockes, $, available at IndigoLadder Plant ProteinThis LeBron James-backed drink contains pea and pumpkin protein, plus amino acids that are meant to help your friend recover from even the most intense workouts.
