gift for a runner

[paperflowers]

My SIL has a birthday coming up next month. Is there anything I could make for an athlete? I thought about warm weather gear, but it doesn't get that cold here (NC).

 

I tried to search for "runner" and keep getting table coverings .

what about fingerless gloves?

 

I made my mom some cotton sweatbands for when she works outside. Not sure if your SIL would wear it....my mom loves them.

 

What about something to hold a water bottle?

Ipod or shuffle cosy? Patty

Water bottle bag or wrist purse

Gloves are a great idea. I run a lot and in the winter the first thing to get cold are my hands. Another great idea would be headband-style ear-warmers.

If you knit, there is a pettern for an armband, worn on the upper arm, that holds an i-pod.

Thanks for ideas. I'm not sure if she has an ipod - can ask my brother.

 

I designed a water bottle bag at one point. Wonder if she'd like one.

I used to run a lot in the winter. I had a pair of knit gloves that were warm when I kept my hand closed but when I stretched out my fingers, it let the air in. When I started warming up, I could cool off just by stretching. They need fingers since those are really what get cold. I would love a home-made pair of those. They don't need to be very thick or heavy.

Matching headband and wristbands out of cotton that are sweatbands, not warmth bands. We (the girls) did a 500 mile run when I was young, and we didn't have things like that. We had bandanas. A headband sweatband could be made with a tie in the back if you don't know her head measurement.
