CrossFit Christmas Checklist

Do you live in a family of CrossFitters, or do you have that one crazy friend that is in to the extreme sport? Maybe you're wondering what the heck to get them for Christmas or a birthday. Well look no further! I have put together a list of items that any of my fellow CrossFitters would love to receive as a gift; I promise.

CrossFit Christmas Checklist
Give Ideas for Your Loved Ones

1. Headbands
• Headbands are a necessity in the box for the ladies. This one from Reebok is super cute, yet still functional.
2. Shoes
• Every CrossFitter has at least two pairs of shoes that are for different things. But you can never have too many pairs! Reebok Nanos are popular, versatile shoes, while Reebok Lifters (also known as olley's) are top-of-the-line shoes for lifting. I've recently even see that Reebok has slip-on shoes that are designed for wearing to and from the gym.
3. Athletic Tape
• This is an essential item for extreme athletes to have and could be a great stocking stuffer! WODShop sells tape in an array of colors for a good price.
4. Wrist Wraps
• Not everyone uses these, but I can guarantee that no one would be mad if you bought them for them. They help support your wrists when doing heavy lifting, especially over-head movements.
5. Rollers
• Foam rollers, deep tissue rollers or lacrosse balls are all loved items by athletes. They help to roll out tight muscles and feel amazing.
6. Jump Rope
• Having your own jump rope for double-unders is a beautiful thing. You don't have to worry about searching for the right sized rope in your box before the WOD and it's always nice to just have your own stuff. Another great stocking stuffer idea.
7. Bar
• If your loved one has the room, get them a bar with some plates and collars. This would be a much larger gift, so make sure you like them, a lot. We all love to practice movements outside of our box. Trust me when I say that they will love you forever if you get them this.
8. Apparel 
• We all love the silly CrossFit shirts and socks. You can't go wrong with this.
9. Pull-up Bar
• Whether it's the kind that you hang in the doorway for strict pull-ups or a bar that you can mount somewhere, pull-ups and bar work are something that we could all be better at.
10. For the Office
• For the corporate worker by day and the CrossFitter by night, these CrossFit-geared office items are sure to be a hit. From coffee mugs to mouse pads, check them out!

Now that you have some ideas, get out there and get your Christmas shopping done! Do you have any good gift ideas to recommend?
