6 Christmas Gift Ideas For Athletes

When buying Christmas gifts, people tend to fall into two categories - they either love it and get nearly everything done well in advance or put it off as long as possible.

Whichever camp you fall into, we’ve got you covered. In this list, you’ll find some great solutions if you’re buying for an athlete on any budget.

Whatever sport they’re involved in, these gifts will get them raring to train long after the festive season ends.

BFA Large Gym Backpack

With a capacity of 45L, the Built for Athletes Large Gym Backpack is ideal for anyone into fitness activities such as CrossFit and weightlifting. It easily holds a huge range of sports equipment and has a strong, clean aesthetic design.

Meal Prep Box

A microwaveable meal preparation box is a useful addition to any athlete’s kit bag. This one comes with a handy spoon and fork set and is made from an environmentally friendly natural Straw Stalk material.

Recovery Ball

If you’re looking for stocking fillers, athletes love self-massage tools and a recovery ball is always popular. You can use it to help release muscles and promote blood flow to sensitive areas to go into your next workout feeling fresher.

Stainless Steel Reusable Sports Bottle

Athletes can never have enough water bottles, and this is one that’s designed to hold up to rigorous activities. A 1L capacity and quick access nozzle make it a convenient option. 

Cycling Bag

A water-resistant Cycling Backpack is a must-have for anyone travelling short and long journeys by bike, which includes many athletes. A reflective panel at the bottom of the backpack keeps you easily visible to traffic and padded shoulder straps ensure a comfortable ride. The padded pocket fits laptops up to 15”. 

Waterproof Backpack Cover

Nothing’s worse than a wet bag, so this fully waterproof rain cover is designed to fit both the BFA large and small backpacks. At just £9.99, it’s an easy and super useful gift.
