Our annual holiday shopping guide is here just in time for the biggest shopping days of the year! We’ve divided this year’s list features into stocking stuffer and smaller gift ideas (featured here), mid-price gift ideas, and larger more luxury gift ideas. All are curated to help you spoil the athlete in your life – plus there are plenty of Black Friday deals you can jump on now!
Stocking Stuffer and Smaller Gift Ideas (Under $200)
Swim Gear: A great place to start is in the water with small items your athlete can use to elevate their swim training. Deboer is offering 20 percent off their entire racing and training collection, and the deboer x themagic5 goggles, known for their custom fit, are now priced at $103. Brands like Arena offer great fins, paddles, and pull buoys that are also excellent gift ideas.
Flat Tire Assistance: For athletes who ride outside, flat-kit essentials are always appreciated! The Trek Air Rush Mini is a perfect stocking stuffer. Priced at $135, it weighs only 108 grams and is similar in size to a CO2 inflator, but it can be used repeatedly and eliminates single-use waste.
Nutrition: If your athlete has favourite nutrition products, these make easy and practical stocking stuffers. The off-season is also an ideal time to try new options as the sports nutrition market continues to evolve. One example is the Named Sports Nutrition Promo Bundle Pack at $49 (56 percent off), which includes two Hydra Fit with free bottles, two Energy Shots, three Energy Fruit Jelly, and 12 mixed sports gels. Naak Sports Nutrition is another great choice featuring high-quality products made in Canada.
Ketones: Ketones are becoming increasingly popular among endurance athletes. Adding a trial pack of DeltaG, Ketone-IQ, or another ketone product can be a fun and affordable way for your athlete to experiment with emerging nutrition tools. Prices vary by brand and quality, but starter kits are typically budget-friendly.
KT Tape: At only $22, KT Tape is a practical stocking stuffer, especially for athletes managing minor injuries. It is widely used by professional athletes and physical therapists and can help support many common triathlon-related aches and strains.
Other thoughtful ideas include a waxed race-day chain for free speed, new water bottles, a running belt, high-quality socks, and other small accessories your athlete will love.
