Let’s talk running safety! Laura bought this little gem for myself and all of my running sisters last year. It is a great little find! Perfect for a stocking stuffer or small gift. Running alone can be dangerous and this clip alarm is so loud it’s sure to get help if needed! All you do is clip it to your shirt and at the first sign of trouble, unclip it and throw it! See the tutorial and more info on the Personal Clip Alarm click HERE.

5. HB TUNE 

 IMG_8673 2 IMG_8675

Laura LOVES her HB Tune! It is so versatile for different size phones AND you can wear it strapped to your hand OR your arm! I personally prefer to wear it on my hand. It’s easy to put on and fits perfectly snug on my hand while you run. Want to change your music? So easy! Want to take a picture? No problem! Phone calls while you run? Piece of cake! You get the picture. I love that it makes my phone very accessible but not annoying to work with. Oh, and don’t forget the secret compartment for money/credit cards/ or keys. It is basically all you need in one perfect little package with an easy to navigate screen.

6. SpiBelt

SPIbelt (Small Personal Item belt) is an awesome “cool” fanny pack for runners. I (Heather) have been rocking my old 80’s fanny pack from when I was a kid until I found this product :) . Made for runners, by runners and great for triathletes and all fitness lovers as well!

Your runner will jump for joy over this awesome little belt when they open it Christmas morning!

It stays perfectly in place and fits most phones perfectly in it! My iPhone 6 fits just right in it!  I love that it is small enough not get in the way of my run, but big enough to hold all of my supplies, nutrition, phone and keys.

These are a must and my favorite (Heather) for training and running half and full marathons in. They are the perfect length and look darling on too! With so many colors to choose from too, you can’t go wrong. I fought buying these shorts for a long time because they are a little on the higher price point end, but caved a few years ago and bought my first pair. I have never loved another short more.

They are so durable and worth every penny. They will last nearly forever and the brand it worth it! I am slightly obsessed with all LuLu Lemon products. I love the scuba hoodies too and their scoop neck tanks and everything there. Basically I could buy the whole store! 😉 (A note to my hubby: don’t worry, I won’t) A Gift Card to LuLu would be a perfect gift too!

11. For Two Fitness 

Let’s face it, sometimes its hard to feel cute when pregnant. Let alone when you work out pregnant! Luckily for all of us, For Two Fitness saw this problem and solved it! They have the cutest tanks that we both loved wearing while pregnant! Heather loved wearing hers fro a half marathon race and family 5k race while pregnant with baby #3. Laura has loved being a For Two Fitness ambassador while pregnant with her fourth kid. Can’t you just see her glow?! :)
