The Billie by Kule and Bandier

You know how the saying goes - 'Look Good, Feel Good.' Why not look good at the gym (and on the way to and from the gym)?

Run Fast. Eat Slow. Nourishing Recipes for Athletes by Shalene Flanigan and Elyse Kopecky

Shalane Flanagan, winner of the 2017 New York City Marathon and the first American woman to win in 40 years, knows that eating healthy doesn't have to be boring. For this cookbook, Shalane teamed up with chef Elyse Kopecky to showcase some delicious, flavorful, whole food recipes that'll satisfy your cravings and be healthy at the same time! (Bonus: It's also available on Kindle, too, so you can read while running!*). Nothings better than feeling good while eating delicious food.

*Seriously, though, don't read while running - look where you're going.

Skincare New Gym Kit by Mama Mio

Working out is hard on your whole body, so make sure you take care of your skin afterwards with this kit by Mama Mio, containing:

▸ A set of Clean Slate Workout Swipes - the shower free way to cleanse and revitalize your face and body before and after a workout. Each cleansing wipe is specially formulated with natural antibacterial ingredients, whilst aloe vera and omega oils help exfoliate and moisturize skin to leave it feeling refreshed, without stripping of essential oils.

▸ Workout Wonder Gel - helping to ease tired muscles post workout. Enriched with an uplifting cocktail of herbs and extracts, the cooling formula helps leave you feeling soothed, relieved once you're done. Tense, stressed bods can feel relaxed and invigorated.

SpeedForm Gemini 3 Record Running Shoes by Under Armour

Under Armour's award-winning digitally connected shoes are perfect for your friend who loves to work out, but is also kind of a nerd. They track every metric that matters to runners - the sensor inside the shoe syncs with UA's MapMyRun app to give you all the data you need (and some you probably don't - better to err on the side of excess here). The sneakers track and store workout data without requiring you to have a phone nearby, then sync to the app so you can see your performance.

Most importantly, they're comfortable to wear and look good in motion, unlike some of Under Armour's other shoe lines (Sorry, Steph).
