Fitness gifts for your athletic friends: excellent accessories and hottest trends!

People who do sports, whether it be professionally or just to counterbalance a desk job, are very specific in what they like and use during their sports journey. It is very hard to figure out what to get for a person deeply into their sport. Everyone has their routine, regime, gear preferences and whatnot. But it doesn’t mean it’s impossible to surprise them with something really cool and useful. Here’s some fitness gift ideas for your athletic friends.

Athleisure is always a go to. The only thing you have to know to nail this gift – is the receiver’s clothing size. One of the hottest active wear brands right now is Alo Youga, an American brand associated with supermodels. These yoga leggings are sported on the streets of Los Angeles by a bunch of It Girls, and that, at the very least, speaks to the brand's quality. Not to mention the fact that young women around the world would wear the pants simply because their favorite celebrity rocks them on a daily basis. And the brand has clothes for men too, of course! Shipping outside of the US is expensive, but with a Parlaxy traveler it can start at only $10.

Listen, pods are convenient, bulky headphones are great for stylish pictures for social media, but both options are not good enough if high-intensive activities and sweat are involved. People who work hard during those gym hours will really appreciate these OpenRun Pro Headphones. If you live in a place where tech stuff is taxed highly, you should definitely consider getting these to your runner friend through Parlaxy. For a package of that size people usually ask for very moderate rewards.

Here’s a cool thing for swimmers: Smart Swim 2 goggles with motion sensors, a reality display and a built-in optical heart rate sensor. These goggles came to you straight from the future, simultaneously providing their owners with a child-like wonder and useful data that will help enhance their performance. Know someone who takes swimming to the next level? Consider these goggles as a gift option! But keep in mind: the price difference could fluctuate depending on where you are in the world. So search for the best price and simply ask someone coming your way to bring them!

Hiking is a huge trend among millennials, science it seems that they are currently on a health kick as a generation. And with more people trying to connect with nature, hiking-related gifts are increasingly popular. The website promises that this hiking chair is the lightest out there, and we believe them. Helinox is a respectable brand that rarely disappoints, so you can be sure that your friend will be happy with the quality of the gift. Get yourself one too, while you’re at it! Imagine the both of you enjoying a perfect sunset somewhere in the wilderness! The measurements of these chairs in a compact form are ridiculous: there are bulkier umbrellas out there! So to ask someone to help you out and throw a couple of these in a suitcase is no big deal at all!

It's either this or hiking for millennials. Choose wisely.

If you don’t have to worry about the budget, definitely return to the classics. Apple Watches are something that is not only useful for tracking progress and medical data, they are also an important part of getting a full experience of Apple’s ecosystem. iPhone users will highly appreciate this gift, especially if you're talking about the latest generation of watches. And here’s where we can make this purchase a little bit less expensive: if you’re in a country that taxes tech and IT items (e.g. Turkiye) you can shave off at least a hundred bucks by ordering an Apple Watch from Europe. Just look for the closest date a traveler from Parlaxy comes to your country and contact them!

Encourage those around you on their sports journey, support their goals and show that you really know them by gifting something that they could really use while doing their thing. It doesn’t have to come from this list – those are just suggestions! What matters is the attention, and the effort. And we can help make your task of finding the perfect gift easier – by opening up the whole world for you to shop in.
