The Ultimate Athlete Gift Guide
Gifts For the Athlete In Your Life
If you’re shopping for the athlete in your life, you’re probably on the lookout for a few gift ideas. Here at Next Level Athletes, we’re on the pulse on the latest gear and accessories for athletes of all ages.
While you could take the easy route and buy them a gift card to their favorite sports store (have you checked out the Next Level Athlete shop yet?) or a gym membership. But if you're looking to add a personal touch, we've got you covered.
Athletes train hard, day in and day out. They spend a lot of time and effort to develop their bodies and minds to perform at the highest level, all in the name of becoming the best they can be.
And because of that, they need gifts that support them in pursuit of their athletic goals and fit their lifestyle. Gifts that will help them train harder, perform better, and recover faster.
This gift guide includes some of the best gifts for athletes to fit every budget. We'll also provide a few tips on how to choose the right gift for the athlete in your life so they can perform at their best. Here’s our picks for the top 10 gifts for athletes.
Top Ten Gifts for Athletes
Fitness Tracker
A watch specifically designed to track progress, map your runs and monitor heart rate and athletic performance is an athlete’s best companion.
We like the Garmin Vivosmart 5 for its available functionality but simple design or the Fitbit Charge 5.
Wireless Ear Buds
Wireless earbuds are the perfect accessory for athletes to use while training, lifting or preparing for competition.
We love Beats Studio Buds, as they’re available in multiple colors and have noise canceling capabilities.
Medicine Ball
A medicine ball is a great piece of fitness equipment for athletes to build strength at home. Comes in many sizes and weights for athletes of all ages and fitness levels. Like this one, that comes in 8, 10 or 12 pound.
Resistance Band Set
Resistance bands are another great piece of fitness equipment that allows anyone to get a work-out in on the go while building lean muscle. If you can only have one piece of fitness equipment at home, this is a must for any athlete. We like this set of 5 bands.
Nike Hoodie
Needs no explanation, as every athlete needs a stylish hoodie. We’re partial to this Nike Zip Up and this Nike Pull Over.
SKLZ Mini Hurdles
These mini hurdles are a must for at-home speed and agility workouts.
Crocs
The chosen footwear of athletes to and from training and competition.
Spike Ball
Athletes need to have fun too! This Spike Ball game is a great way to have fun while staying active - great for in the backyard or at the beach.
“I Am Next Level” Tee
Of course we’re a bit partial, but we love the style and fit of our I Am Next Level tee and hoodie. Get 15% off through December 18.
Sports Number Necklace
Help the athlete in your life express their individuality (and their number!) with this custom sports number necklace.
There you have it! The best gifts for athletes in your life. Whether you're looking for something to help with training, recovery, or just a nice piece of gear to show off your dedication to your sport, there's something on this list for everyone.
