Christmas gifts for sports enthusiasts

Sweets or socks are quickly given away. But what about suitable gifts for sports freaks ? Here are a few ideas on how you can make your eyes light up this Christmas.

Christmas presents for cyclists

Forests icy, roads too slippery? If you want to make racing cyclists in particular happy, you can take a look at special roller trainers . The bike is mounted on the roll so that the recipient could ride around the world - without ever leaving their living room. The best thing: Simple roller trainers cost around 100 euros. The two biggest advantages compared to a classic home trainer: The recipient trains on their own bike - and most roller trainers cost far less.

An airbag helmet is also interesting. These “helmets” actually look more like futuristic scarves. The head seems unprotected at first. But: If an accident occurs, the airbag inflates immediately and saves lives - the most modern and quite fashionable form of bicycle helmet. However, these gifts for cyclists come at a price. Here you have to expect 250 to 350 euros. So maybe it's more of a collectible gift?

Christmas gifts for runners

Do you want to make runners happy? Anyone who likes to travel quickly on foot will be happy about these Christmas presents:

GPS systems don't cost the earth (anymore). If you wish, you can track the distances and routes that the recipient has walked. Perfect for measuring progress and success. What's particularly nice is that there are now running shoes that have small GPS systems built into them or can be built into them. These GPS systems often cost no more than 30 euros, and you usually don't pay more than 50 to 100 euros for a special fitness or jogging watch. Anything that makes navigation and route recording easier is always a perfect Christmas present for mountaineers or for hiking. Who says sports gifts can't be used in a variety of ways?

When it comes to running clothes and especially running shoes , you can consider treating the recipient to a shopping trip together. Because: Clothes and especially running shoes have to fit. And you can only find the perfect running shoe if the person is there. Tip: Be sure to seek advice from experts. The specialist retailer is your best friend here.

Beautiful gifts for swimmers

For anyone who enjoys being in or under water, there are Christmas gifts that make training easier or increase comfort outside of the water. Our tips: Compact swimming bags or backpacks with numerous storage solutions are always welcome - also because there is usually very little space in changing rooms. Special training fins, on the other hand, are very short and help swimmers to be able to practice technique and rhythm over a long period of time - because they save energy and can therefore better manage their endurance. At the same time, training fins improve strength. Another tip: swimming gloves that provide the recipient's hands with textile webbed feet. Perfect for higher speeds in training, while at the same time increasing resistance - and thus improving strength endurance. Both fin gifts are best used for basic training and during regeneration phases .

With these Christmas presents you will make all athletes happy

Would you like some brainwaves? Then read on quickly and pick up ideas. You're welcome!

• Hot in demand when training in the dark : headlamps, reflectors and training clothing in bright colors.
• For bad weather : rain gear and ponchos. Important: Arrange a visit to the specialist retailer with the recipient. The general, ironclad Christmas rule applies: Giving clothes is like winning the lottery.
• Gifts that awaken feelings are always good. And is there anything better than doing sports together? How about a pair of inline skates or ice skates? Perfect gifts for athletes who you want to tell through flowers that you could see each other more often next year...
• Anyone who reads our stories carefully knows that regeneration in sport is just as important as sensible, efficient training. Perfect sports gifts for this are massage rollers and massage oils, vouchers for spa and massage facilities or a really big package of bath salts, scented candles and more for the bathtub at home.
• Always works: The “I’ll join in” gift . If a favorite person has been asking you for months to come to the yoga, fitness or boxing studio with them, that's perfect. You pay for your own training, your favorite person is happy - and you might soon be doing a new sport and doing a lot of good things for your body.
• Books always work? True. Books that impart expert knowledge are particularly worthwhile for very technical or mentally demanding sports such as sailing, diving or chess. (Scientifically proven) nutritional guides and cookbooks are also exciting gifts - especially for vegans who do sports, for example.
• Bigger sports gift planned? E-bikes have long been more than just a trend. They make long tours possible – even for people with physical disabilities or older people. E-mountain bikes in particular often cost as much as a used car - but are ten times as fun. Also nice and made for the winter: plan a collective gift - and then send the recipients on a short vacation. Mallorca, for example, is the perfect Christmas present for hikers, racing cyclists or divers in winter. And not as expensive as you think.
• Another tip: How about something funny under the Christmas tree? Sports freaks in particular are happy about gifts that make an impact. How about special medal hangers ? You probably know these things from numerous award ceremonies. A metal plaque (as pretty and attention-grabbing as possible) hangs on a colored ribbon. The medal hanger is then hung around the neck. You can have the award ceremonies individually engraved and designed. For grandpas and grandmas who still run half marathons - or that one friend who is actually better at darts than you. Also always good: motif shirts. Not necessarily the ones you know from bachelor parties, but ones specifically tailored to sport. And if you don't find anything suitable: You can also create your own designs and have shirts printed on numerous websites - this makes the sports gift even more personal, fun and charming.
