With athleisure on the rise, and stunning sporty collections, such as the rebellious Fenty Puma by Rihanna, Rebecca Minkoff, Mara Hoffman, and even Beyoncé’s Ivy Park line, there’s no shortage of inspiration for boosting your best friend’s look with the help of some fit add-ons. 

From stylish, and highly functional details, all the way to your friend’s favorite pair of yoga pants with a goofy print, fashion is infused with this urban sporty vibe, and all you have to do is take your pick and make your holidays fit and fabulous! 

Buy a pair, give a pair

Socks that are simultaneously cute, stylish, perfect for training and have a knack for charity? Yes, Bombas has caused quite a holiday stir, and for a brilliant reason. These guys make sock-wearing a fun experience with their quirky designs, but they also let you make an impact, since per every pair bought, they donate a pair to charity. Talk about a gift that keeps on giving!

If you want a touch of Pantone’s Ultra Violet, you’ll easily find a pair that will give you the right punch of this futuristic color, but if your friend prefers the classics in black, grey or white, there’s a whole selection to choose from.

Workout-friendly wireless headphones

Does your friend enjoy listening to some tunes while they train? There’s no reason not to do it with style and comfort without being bothered by tons of cables getting tangled all over the place. Every true fitness freak loves their pair of earbuds, but wireless headphones make it even easier to enjoy some motivational music.

For instance, Jaybird X3 are dubbed as the most durable out there, meaning that they can take any amount of sweat, movement and bounce you throw at them, quite literally. No matter if your friend loves her HIIT workouts, weightlifting, or takes Tabata classes, these little buggers will be able to survive them all.

Multipurpose crop tops

One of the biggest trends of the past several seasons, and one that will stay with us for a long time, is our timeless love for crop tops. They’re comfortable, fabulous, can be worn both during workouts and your summer outings. So, it’s no wonder they are a favorite garment among supermodels, such as the Hadid sisters and Kendall Jenner. Now, if they have said yes to the crop, who are we to say no?

Go for the Nike selection of crops and other cool gear, and you’ll easily find a durable top that goes well with any pair of exercise leggings, but also looks smashing with ripped jeans and shorts. Now there’s a way to give your friend a present that will give them a confidence boost!

Fitness trackers

If your girl is serious about her fitness goals, she surely has a tracking system in place that helps her keep an eye on her milestones, progress and make adjustments in her diet. But, wouldn’t a beautiful fitness tracker make the journey easier for her and help her achieve her goals faster? Combining sleek design and purpose, trackers such as the Misfit Ray are a wonderful way to support your friend’s fitness goals.

There are various options to consider, from trackers that are created to look like jewelry, minimalist and simple, but durable and multifunctional, to those classics such as Fitbit, so you can rest assured you’ll find something that will be to your friend’s taste.

Personalized water bottles

Another sleek choice that makes for an excellent gift is a water bottle with proper insulation that will keep their water cool for hours on end, or even preserve their morning coffee heat. And why not go a step further and make it personal by adding your friend’s name or a monogram inscribed in one of many cool designs by S’well, which can be smooth, glittery, and come in various fun colors.

What’s more, they are BPA-free, meaning they are much healthier and safer to use than their many siblings on the market, and every purchase helps one of many charities that they are partnered up with, including improving access to clean water, and fight against AIDS. It’s a wonderful way to make a difference, both in helping your fit friend replace those plastic bottles with a single, reusable solution, and by helping the world become a better place!
