My friend is planning to run a marathon and is also going to run a few other races in preparation. I would like to give her a gift that is running-related. If I can't find one perfect item, I'm also considering putting together a gift basket of items (water bottle, energy bar, running socks, etc.) Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks.
--------------------
As an avid marathon runner, there's a number of things that I always need, but most of them are things I like to get on my own because there's a particular brand or style I like. Some of them include the following: Running clothes (shoes, shirt, shorts) Water bottle GPS watch Sunglasses MP3 player Energy bar/gel Sports bag Any of the above, I would *not* recommend getting her because she will probably be unhappy with your choice unless you already know her preferences. A gift card will allow her to get them herself though. Among the things I always seem to need/want but doesn't seem to matter which brand is the following: Running socks (synthetic material) Souvenir from marathon (e.g., jacket, shirt, framed picture from marathon photographer) Body Glide (to prevent chaffing) Gift certificate to massage Marathon stick (for massage) Foam roller (for stretching IT band) "Running" shirt (says something like "Runners Do It Better", "got marathon?", "Run Like a Girl") I think that's all that I can think of. I hope that one or a few of those will help. Good luck~!
