Runners help!

What would you like for your birthday for up to $50?

I would do a gift card to their local running store. It's hard to get something that a runner uses without knowing exactly what brand/style they like (even something that you'd think was simple like socks, there are so many kinds and people tend to be very particular about which ones they use).

I second the running store rec. Even my best friends and I differ on what particular items we like- socks, fuel, water, etc.

Unless this person is a brand new runner, in which case a gift card to a running store would be great but I think it would be nice to get some wicking socks, a few different fuels (like from the running store or near the check out at Dick's), a visor, a few things like that. This is one way my friends introduced me to new things, and I have also done this with friends brand new to running.
