It’s that time of year, when people are making their holiday gift lists and checking them twice, and hoping that they end up on Santa’s nice list. This week’s Friday Five 2.0 theme is Five Items You’d Buy All Over Again, so I’m sharing five favorite items that would make greats gift for runners.

1. My Petzl Headlamp
I actually bought this for myself and tucked it under our tree.
I think I will be buying this headlamp again because I can’t find mine. I had it two weeks ago ….
2. My Nathan Elevation 2L Hydration Vest
My Ragnar hydration gear.
3. Nuun Electrolyte Tablets
4. Compression Socks. I wear compression socks during races, for recovery after long runs, and on long flights. I have PROCompression, Zensah, 2XU and Lilly Trotters compression socks, and don’t have a strong preference for any particular brand. I do think PRO Compression
Last year’s PRO Compression holiday design–aren’t they fantastic!
5. My Oofos Sandals
Happy feet!

I always love the holiday designs of Pro compression’s socks!
The Oofos sandals are great I love them too!
I’m not sure I really have a wish list. I tend to get what I want (as does the husband) — maybe not everything, obviously, but still, plenty.
Great list, Coco!
I have a Petzl headlamp for running and love it! And….I might have just ordered the holidays compression socks!
Aren’t they fun!
Oofos have always intrigued me.
Maybe not worth blowing your budget for, but definitely worthy of a spot on a wish list!
Those socks are amazing and I loved the design this year. For some reason, the ProCompression never seem to come up high enough for me. I must have tall shins? Great list Coco!
I think I’ve heard others say that. Since I’m 5’1″ when I stand up straight I don’t have that issue. 😉
I just got some Oofos flip-flops, and I loooooooove them! What a great list!
Thanks! Glad you love your Oofos too!
Ooh, I love my Oofos, too! And YES to compression socks/sleeves. Amazingly, my recovery seems to be going smoothly from my marathon (other than the hip/groin still being a bit wonky), and I’d bet by Brooks on the fact that I had compression socks on the day prior (on that 8-hour car ride) and for a few days following the finish line. I still have not broken down and bought a headlamp….
Glad to hear you are feeling so good! I really do think compression socks help!
Oh my gosh, I love those Christmas compression socks! 🙂
I love my Petzl headlamp! And yay to the Oofos. I’m due for a new pair…
They have lots of colors and styles to choose from now ….
Yasssss to the headlamp! Best purchase ever. Those sandals look amazing…
Thanks for linking up!
I was always afraid that the headlamp would give me a headache too, but it’s very comfy to wear. My son loves hearing it too!
I love the design of those compression socks!!
Aren’t they fun! If I don’t find my headlamp by Sunday I’ll have to ask Santa for a new one.
I’ve been eyeing those Oofos sandals forever but just can’t bring myself to spend the money…I’ll be dropping hints for this one 😉
That’s what I did last year — hopefully you’ve been a good little runner this year. 😉
