The holiday season is about more than materialistic goods. This year, show your loved ones how much you love them with a gift from a small, woman-owned business. We created this guide to gifts for athletes specifically so you could shop for workout gifts for your friends and family, while also supporting eco-friendly, woman-owned, and socially conscious small businesses.
For Your “Zen” Friend
Is there a yogi in your life who could use some new yoga essentials? For your friend who can channel their inner namaste in even the most stressful situations, check out our Plum Limitless Leggings, which are sure to quickly become their new go-to yoga pants. Support an eco-friendly small business when you pair them with this beautiful Botanical Cork Yoga Mat from the woman-owned business, Scoria. Plus, for every purchase, Scoria donates a portion of the proceeds to empower indigenous youth.
For Your Trail Riding Buddy
Are you struggling to find the perfect gift for your go-to trail riding buddy? Protect them from the sun on your next trail ride with our Peppermint Crew Neck Sun Shirt (UPF 30+!). Round out your present with a container of Bucked Off Bath Salts from The Simple Equine, which will be so appreciated the next time they fall off.
For Your Girlfriend Who is Always Cold
After the holidays, there’s still three more months of winter for the majority of the United States. If you have a friend who is always too cold, keep them warm this winter season with a combination of our flattering feminine Onyx Signature Long Sleeve Shirt or our Black Swan Signature Crew and a cozy winter hat. We recommend snagging a hat from Happi Headware, which was founded by owner Alyssa when she was just 16 years old.
For the Activist & Athlete
This holiday season, give a workout gift that has a deeper meaning. For your friend or family member who is passionate about running and supporting a good cause, nothing goes better together than our Black Limitless Leggings and a pair of socks from conscious step. Conscious step is a small business that sells sustainably sourced and manufactured socks. Every purchase supports a specific cause, including the environment, education, and mental health.
For Your Friend Who Loves Fashion
What do you buy your girlfriend who loves to shop? The answer is our Pure White Signature Sun Shirt with a rose gold zipper and a pair of unique DMY sunglasses. DMY by DMY is an indie sunglass brand that is woman-owned and sustainably sourced. We think the Luca Transparent Pink Square Sunglasses would set off the rose gold zipper on our sun shirt beautifully. This fashionable gift for athletes will look right at home on the tennis court or that stop off at Starbucks on your way to the barn!
For Your Sparkly Equestrian Friend
Does your loved one love bling almost as much as she loves horses? Get her a new matchy matchy outfit to wear to the barn in 2023. Our Lilac Signature Sun Shirt would just love to be paired with this beautiful Unicorn Bling Crystal Browband from Halter Ego. Featuring shades of purple, turquoise, violet and lavender in an ombre pattern, this browband will be the perfect complement to our soft lavender shirt. Halter Ego is a woman owned equestrian brand founded by a show jumper in California!
For Your Friend Who’d Rather Be Playing Tennis
Do you have a friend who is practically a tennis pro? If you're shopping for a workout gift for someone who would rather be on the court than anywhere else, consider getting them an Anique Gift Card, so your friend can smash the ball, while looking fabulous. Our feminine and flattering sun shirts will look right at home at the club! Combine the gift card with a thoughtful pack of three custom tennis balls from the family-owned ChalkTalkSports. Write their name or an inside joke on these tennis balls for a gift that will make them think of you everytime they play.
For Your Friend Who Loves to Hit the Slopes
Skiers still need sun protection! Our Black Swan Signature Long Sleeve Crew Neck Shirt will protect your loved one’s skin from the harmful rays of the sun that reflect off the slopes. Pair our shirt with this Alpine Neckwarmer from the woman-owned Coalition Snow. Part of a limited edition collection, part of the proceeds from the sale of this neckwarmer supports the Indigenous Backcountry Scholarship. Combined, this gift for athletes will help your friend feel good and do good.
For the Home Workout Enthusiast
The perfect workout gift for a friend who prefers to sweat at home, pair our Plum Limitless Leggings with a set of Yoga Cards from Black Girl Flourish.These cards will guide your friend through their yoga session– even if they’re a total beginner.
It's All About The Details
Equestrians obsess over every little detail from daily grooming, tack, and giving their horse all the best money can buy. Doesn’t your friend deserve to be treated the same way? Give them a unique gift that is so detailed and special, connecting their favorite things this holiday season! You can combine of our Navy Signature Sun Shirtand Mane Jane Spur Straps from Dreamers & Schemers. The ultrasoft feel of our quarter zip sun shirt will ensure your bestie stays comfortable, while these personalized spur decorations are available with lucky charms: from religious symbols, to avocados, animals, and funny emojis. With this gift combo, their new spur straps will make them feel like you really pay attention!
For Your Ballerina Bestie
For the friend that is committed to barre style workouts, combine our Black Swan Signature Short Sleeve Crew with a pair of grippy barre socks from StickyBe Socks for the ultimate workout gift. Our crew neck shirt will wick sweat and moisture away from their skin to ensure they stay cool and comfortable for the whole workout, while this pair of cute half-toe socks will give them the extra purchase they need to get the most out of their session!
For the Online Yogi
An Anique Gift Card is a great workout gift if you’re uncertain what size or style your loved one would prefer. Pair the gift card with a few months membership to Glo, a small business that offers online yoga classes, for yogis of all levels.
