Everything we'd personally *love* to unwrap come Christmas morning
Looking for the best fitness gifts? Well, get ready because it's beginning to look a lot like, you guessed it, Christmas.
Yes, we know it's not here yet, but the clock is ticking for you to put together your dream wish list or what you might want to give the loved ones in your life. We'd even recommend snapping up an advent calendar before they all sell out. We’ve rounded up all the best gifts for your favourite fitness fanatic from trainers, fit tech, self-care items and luxe labels to gift (or be gifted) to savvy high-street buys that punch above their price tag.
So, whether you're looking for stocking fillers or investment buys for your BFF, partner, Mum, or, of course, yourself (we're not judging), look no further than the Women's Health health, fitness and wellness gift guide. Happy shopping.
It's no secret we're huge fans of the Oura Ring here at Women's Health. Our Ecommerce Editor has been wearing the ring for over two years now, and still isn't over how helpful the stats have been at giving her the motivation she needs to prioritise sleep and rest.
Celeb fans of the ring include Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and Prince Harry, and if it's good enough for the A-listers you can sure this one would be an impressive gift.
LED face masks are all the rage at the moment, with benefits such as clearer skin, boosted collagen and a brighter complexion making them very alluring for beauty lovers.
Not all light therapy masks are created equal, however, so it's important to ensure you're not wasting your money on a mask that isn't powerful enough to make a difference.
The Foreo FAQ 202 Silicone Mask has eight clinically proven wavelengths for brighter, clearer skin, and 600 light points that ensure the entire face is covered.
We're of the belief there's no gift quite like new bedding. It revamps your whole bedroom and, especially during winter when we're spending a lot more time in bed, having a space you enjoy being in makes all the difference.
Chelsea Peers has been doing quality sleepwear for years but has just launched into the bedding space, and having tried it for ourselves we can say with certainty that it's good stuff.
Having something SMEG in your kitchen just adds an instant touch of luxury. While most of the range is quite expensive, this £110 blender is fairly reasonably priced and you still get the chic addition of SMEG.
Out Health and Fitness Ecommerce Editor is a reformer fiend, and she really rates this at-home reformer machine from nexace. Yes, £499.90 is a very generous gift, but if you're buying this for someone who pops into Pilates several times a week it will have paid for itself in no time.
A good pair of slippers is one of the best gifts out there, it's one of those things most people would never buy for themselves but are so glad to have once they have them.
These mules from Hush Puppies feel luxuriously silky to slide in to, and will keep your toes warm on the chilly winter evenings.
We swear by Finisterre for fleeces come winter time, and tend to live in them until spring rolls around. We love the blue shade of this recycled wool zip-up and think it would make a great gift for anyone who loves spending time outdoors when it's chilly out.
Buying for someone who tends to like the finer things in life? You'll be impressing them greatly come Christmas day when they unwrap a candle from Le Labo.
They're the favourite candle of It Girls everywhere, and you'll garner endless cool points for having gifted this one.
As much fun as the festive season is, it can also be fairly exhausting - both physically and mentally. Embracing a regular meditation routine is a fairly common New Years resolution and you can help your gift recipient get started with a yearly subscription to Headspace.
Headspace is a health and wellbeing app that houses meditations, mindfulness activities, sleepcasts and focus exercises that have been designed by an array of experts to improve the users overall mental health.
The Brighten Up Collection is a gift set from much-loved skincare brand Medik8. It comes with a brightening Press & Glow Tonic and a bottle of the fan-favourite serum, Liquid Peptides.
The set works well together to keep the skin looking clear and luminous while smoothing skin texture.
An investment gift that the recipient is sure to appreciate for years to come, this cosy down jacket will keep the wearer warm on the chilliest and most bitter of days.
The flattering cinched waist and hem let you adjust the hem to suit your style, and the abundance of pockets mean you can leave the bag at home when you pop out.
TikToks favourite hair oil is definitely the Honey Infused Hair Oil from Gisou. Made from sustainable sourced honey, the oil can be used as a finishing product, hair mask and overnight treatment, working to hydrate and repair your strands without looking greasy.
Store bought coffee is always one of the first things to go when we're on a budget, which isn't an easy thing to quit if you're a coffee lover.
This coffee machine from De'Longhi is obviously more expensive than your standard cup of joe, but if your daily coffee costs £4, it'll take less than 6 weeks for the machine to be a worthwhile purchase.
Getting a good night of shut eye is absolutely fundamental for majority of the population to look, feel and perform at their highest level.
The ThisWorks Sleep Plus Pillow Spray has been designed for restless sleepers, with lavender, camomile and vetivert essential oils that keep producing fragrance throughout the night which should result in a deeper, more consistent sleep.
Loop Earplugs are the latest self-care product to take the wellness world by storm, with the stylish plugs a welcome upgrade from the foam iterations we're used to.
These Quiet 2 Earplugs are designed to be worn while you sleep, with up to 26 dB of noise reduction that helps you avoid sleep disturbances and get a good amount of rest.
Tired of seeing your gym-loving loved one hauling around multiple bags to fit in all her bits of bobs through the week?
This bag from Built For Athletes comes with all the room for a laptop, lunch, cosmetics, a change of clothes and other essential items while still being stylish and comfy to wear.
The best thing about Hey Harper jewellery, except for the fact it's gorgeous, is that is is tarnish proof and waterproof. This means you can wear i through as many sweaty HIIT sessions or long runs as you'd like and it will stay shiny and gold.
Any gift that helps us get and stay asleep is a win in our books, so we'd love to unwrap this Brains Pure CBD + Magnesium supplement on Christmas Day.
Magnesium and CBD work together to fight fatigue and stress while promoting muscle recovery.
Adanola is the sportswear brand being sported by it girls across the nation. The brand is known for their high-quality activewear that is near constantly sold out, so you'll look like you've got your finger on the pulse with this present.
If you're looking for a jacket to get you through winter and all its accompanying weather issues, this is it. Waterproof, breathable and oh so cosy thanks to responsibly sourced down and Thermolite® Eco working to keep you toasty, the best bit about this parka is that you won’t have to sacrifice your style to stay warm and dry. The lilac grey colour sure is easy on the eyes.
