I thought I’d share a few more ideas with you to give for fitness! This is my third list so if you need a refresher on my first two gift giving guides click right here.
This list contains a few things you can start whipping up quite easily over the next few weeks. I think yule spread a lot of Joy if you make any of these presents on…
THE FIT LIST
Hot Chocolate Protein Kits
I am a bit obsessed with hot protein drinks now that our temps have reached below zero, but who’s complaining? Not only are protein lattes and mocha’s packed full of protein, but they taste ahhhhmazing, too! Bundle up 3-4 servings of Protein Freeze inside a cellophane bag, top with dark chocolate chips and/or marshmallows, tie with a bow, and tuck it inside a really cute mug. Be sure to include the recipe for a Whole Latte Protein or a Peppermint Protein Latte with your gift, too!
You might want to give Hot Chocolate Protein Kits to: Your training buddies, your personal trainer, your favorite high school or college athlete, and your really hot friends.
Protein Ice Cream Kits
Protein Freeze makes fantastic ice cream! Make ice cream kits by scooping up 3-4 servings of vanilla or chocolate Protein Freeze into a cellophane bag, top with dark chocolate chips and/or marshmallows, and tie with a bow. Package up your protein packets inside an ice cream bowl and maybe even include an ice cream scoop. Be sure to add some brief instructions, too. Something like: Blend 3/4 cup Protein Freeze, 3/4 cup water, 2T Peanut Butter and freeze! Top with dark chocolate chips and enjoy!
You might want to give Protein Ice Cream Kits to: Your coach, your teachers, or your really cool friends.
Personalized Notepads
One year my niece and nephews made notepads for their parents for Christmas gifts. They drew up some masterpieces and then we hit the local copy shop and had them made into pads of note paper. You can easily design some paper on your computer, too, with a great quote, your gift recipients name or initials, or something personal for the lucky recipient.
You might give Personalized Notepads for: Aunts, grandparents, coworkers, friends, and your favorite blogger.
Candles
Nothing says, “You light up my life” better than a candle. I retired my glue gun many moons ago and replaced it with double stick tape. I dressed up this candle with some ribbon I found at Super Target last week. Simply stick the double stick tape to the jar and adhere the ribbon on top. Try this same technique with ornaments, too.
You might want to dress up a candle for: A hostess gift, your neighbors, and your really bright friends.
Now I really must wrap this up so I can pack up my whey and fly to the gym!
