What are you wishing for this holiday (elfster-related)?

I haven't been on gbcn much lately (crazy work, back to back weekends of traveling/OOT), so if we have already done this thread, please let me know

I am trying to figure out some items to put on my H&F elfster list. I am (newer) to running and would love some ideas that are H&F/running related you're wishing for this holiday (some inspiration shopping for me)!

Welcome back!

I think there are a few gift threads floating around, but elfster ideas are kind of unique because of price limit, shipping, etc. I think this can use its own discussion.


Here are a few ideas, and I'll be interested to see what others say.

-Socks. I like Thorlo brand cushioned a lot, and I know a lot of people love Balenga, smart wool, I'm probably missing some...

- Headbands like bondi bands or other sport-specific styles. Fleece headband or hats for winter.

- iTunes gift card and/or new earbuds if you listen to music or podcasts while you run.

- Arm warmers or calf compression sleeves.

- Books about running.

- Sweets, caramels, fudge, good coffee, tea, or wine! (hey, I'm honest!)


ETA: I love surprises!!

Great idea! Some of the cheaper H&F stuff on my holiday list:
-Gu (mint chocolate is my fav)
-socks (smartwool or feetures)
-fleece neck gaiter
-running related ornament
-fleece headband
-roadID
Non H&F:
-candy/local goodies
-cozy fuzzy socks
-cute hair accessories (bobby pin type clips)

To be honest, I just love getting a surprise so I guess secret santa is totally up my alley.
