It’s that time of year, and although you may have been able to do most of your shopping on Black Friday, I’m sure there are still a few stocking stuffers you need and a few picky peeps to buy for on your list. So let’s get down to brass tacks and find out the season's hottest items that will have the fitness buffs on your list drooling.
ToeSox Ankle Socks.I don’t know about you, but my feet inevitably start slipping and sliding when I’ve worked up a sweat during yoga class. Particularly for hot room yoga fanatics, these ToeSox with a no-slip grip are a lifesaver.
Sore Today, Strong Tomorrow Water Bottle. I love all of the adorable sayings on these clever water bottles by Blogilates, but this one is by far my favorite.
Cordless Jump Rope. Whenever I attempt to jump rope, I always end up slapping myself in the face or ankles. It’s embarrassing, I know. This ingenious cordless jump rope tracks time, calories, and reps, without worrying about space or inconveniencing others.

Alias Office Chrome Barbell. If you know a fitness buff that’s worried about being too sedentary at work, this subtle barbell looks like a desk decoration, but acts as an easy way to get in some quick reps throughout the workday.
Anthropologie Magic Carpet Yoga Mat. Pretend to be Jasmine while you’re stretching and posing on this beautiful mat. It’ll take your yoga to a whole new level...and a whole new world!
