Athletic Family Member/Friend

I can speak for runners that a foam roller is a staple. If you have someone in your life relatively new to running, this will definitely help them stay loose. Even other sports athletes can benefit from rolling out their muscles.

There are many brands to choose from; I like TriggerPoint.

Therapy massage gun ($65.99)

Maybe you have a friend that needs an upgrade from a foam roller. This massage gun will target the more stubborn muscle knots.

So versatile with several attachments.

Ab wheel ($11.99)

This ab wheel is harder to use than you think! This fits your more dedicated gymgoer and it’ll push their core workouts.

Even using the ab wheel on your knees takes some work!

Yoga mat (~$20)

You can bring some of the gym to your home with a yoga mat for stretching and working out. Marshall’s has a bin of yoga mat options, but other stores have some too.
