You guys, I’m so excited…I’ve never put together a gift guide before but I really wanted to share a handful of products that I thought you might love to give (or get!) as gifts too. I split it into three categories – for her, for him, and for all. Now, I’m not normally the type to condone the whole “women’s specific” foods or fitness items, but I do know that they can sometimes be less intimidating for my fellow ladies than the typical “bro” stuff. And I know a lot of bros who wouldn’t love getting pink gym gear.
Most of these items are under $30 so they make perfect stocking stuffers, but you can always wrap up a box of protein cookies as a stand-alone gift. I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving and happy Black Friday/Cyber Monday shopping!
