12 Stylish Gifts From lululemon For Every Athlete On Your List

by Suzanne McKenzie

It's time to admit that 2020 has officially changed us. If you and your friends are anything like me and mine, post-work cocktails and Sunday brunch dates have been replaced by 5 p.m. virtual vinyasa and socially distant HIIT workouts in the park. Our fitness habits have shifted from a bi-weekly obligation to a bright spot in a time when bright spots — especially ones that are actually good for us — are hard to come by.

So now, with my holiday shopping list growing longer by the day, I've decided to pivot my gifting style. Instead of stocking up on the usual good wine and trendy candles, this year I'm going for gifts that reflect the people we've become. Yes, I'm talking about workout clothes.

That's where lululemon, everyone's forever favorite for technical gear that's both on-trend and built to last, comes in. Their 2020 holiday lookbook reads like a how-to on shopping for women in motion, with fresh ideas like warm — never bulky — layers and supportive leggings that never sacrifice style.

Read on for gifts to help your fit clique embrace the best, leveled-up version of themselves.

For The Runner

We all have that one friend who always hits her morning mileage goal, no matter the weather. This sleek vest's PrimaLoft® insulation will keep her warm through rain, snow, and anything else that comes her way.

For the sprinter who loves a good sweat but hates when it sticks around, this training top's fabric is specially constructed for movement, shape retention, and most important, keeping her feeling fresh long after she crosses the finish line.

Shield her eyes from the harsh winter sun and help her embrace the very of-the-moment dad-cap trend with this sweat-wicking and quick-drying hat that'll never go out of style.

For The Yogi

The ultimate marriage between bra and crop top, this stylish tank provides light support that'll take her all the way from the first creaky downward dog to that sweet, sweet final Savasana.

For the first-time yogi or the daily practitioner who wants to elevate her flow, this kit comes with the towel, block, and mat that will keep her practice inspired.

Ready for the best news all year? lululemon created a shorts version of the iconic Align™ pant. Your favorite yogi will live for the buttery-soft Nulu™ fabric, which is so lightweight she might forget she's wearing anything at all.

For The Outdoorswoman

Constructed with a cinchable waist and water-repellent Glyde™ fabric, this puffer combines throwback style with modern function in the chicest way possible.

Let her lean into this season's sherpa trend with a half-zip that layers perfectly over bras and tees, providing a cozy top-off to any cold-weather look.

Built for lending some pre-, post-, and during-workout warmth, this slightly oversized sweatshirt adds a dose of casual cool no matter what she's up to.

For The Strength Trainer

With Luxtreme™ Fabric for low-friction support, this bra comes in a variety of high neck and long line styles, so you can find one that works for everyone in your fit fam.

lululemon's signature fast-drying Everlux™ fabric is the foundation of these made-for-training tights. A built-in pocket holds her keys, while the a high-rise fit means she'll feel confident and secure whether or not she's at the gym.

Keep her hydrated without the hassle with this minimalist bottle. A leak-proof lid and powder-coated sure-grip design mean she can focus less on her water breaks and more on pushing her limits.
