On the eve of the holidays, almost everyone has a problem with the choice of gifts for family and friends. Every year there are fewer and fewer gift options, because what you don’t remember has already been presented either by you or you. Banal things in the form of soap, shower gel, shaving foam are unlikely to please anyone, because everyone already has a good supply for five years in advance.
In order not to give an unpleasant and useless thing, it is worth at least a little to pay attention to the choice of a gift. If your friend or relative is an athlete, then here you can find a wide assortment for every wallet. Yes, and before you buy anything, you need to know that the donee certainly does not have such a thing.
Useful gifts for the athlete
Depending on what kind of sport your friend or relative is involved in, a gift is chosen. And, if he is not yet engaged, then it will be a New Year's surprise.
Cyclist
For the cyclist, additional accessories are suitable in the form of a bottle, gloves, a speed sensor, or maybe he wanted to improve his vehicle, and you know what exactly (seat, shock absorbers, tires, etc.).
Sports equipment at home
A home simulator will be a great gift to be able to train at any time. The main thing is to make sure it doesn't become another piece of furniture, such as a coat rack.
Reason to start playing sports
An excellent surprise will be a subscription to a gym, pool or fitness. Subscription - additional motivation to start or continue the started movement towards sports achievements
Sports uniforms
The present is quite original in the form of a turtleneck, which is made of special material. Doing sports or jogging in it, the body remains completely dry, since all moisture is absorbed into the material. And stylish sportswear is the dream of anyone living in sports mode. The main thing is not to be mistaken with the size and to please the taste of the athlete.
If a friend is an athlete and a traveler
For such a case, there are even more gift options. A store of relevant topics will help you. There you will find many useful things: sleeping bags, tents, a camping sleeping mat, flashlights, pocket knives, a set of dishes, flasks, hiking bags, pots and even dry shampoos to keep your hair clean. Raincoats will also be useful for travelers.
Winter Sports
For fans of alpine skiing, skiing, snowboarding, and the appropriate equipment (if you know the size, of course), shoes, glasses, hat, gloves will come to their liking. The revival of skating rinks in parks, courtyards and on city streets expands the boundaries of leisure, and the growing ice industry does not leave the slightest chance not to get on skates, be it figured or hockey boots. A soft, weightless, luxurious and neat continuation of the leg - boots that roll themselves.
In fact, for lovers of a healthy and active lifestyle, there are many options for gifts. First of all, find out the preferences and direction of sports activity, because if a boxer likes a home punching bag, then for a bodybuilder or cyclist it will turn out to be a completely useless gift.
Funny gifts
The same travel shop has a lot of fun gifts. You can choose from a laundry basket with a target on the lid or cups with fun pictures. Maybe a cap with a fan, but of course, consider your friend's tastes.
Gym
For gym enthusiasts, useful gifts such as workout gloves, a bandage, an athletic belt, and girth straps are ideal. Or maybe you will like a set of dumbbells or prefabricated dumbbells.
In conclusion
In general, choosing a gift for athletes is not that difficult. It is quite enough to take a closer look at the lifestyle, ask a few unobtrusive questions and show a little imagination. The main thing is to show care and attention, and in no case give just something. The worst gift that can be is a symbol of the coming year or trinkets from supermarkets.
Remember, it is always visible if the gift was made for show, and this cannot be pleasant to any person. Even an empty, unsigned postcard can spoil the mood a little, because it is necessary to say at least a few words. Ideally, if the congratulations in the postcard are tied to the gift. Take care of your loved ones and create an atmosphere of celebration and fun.
