Gifts for Active Women

Even during warm weather, my hands are always cold and I've noticed plenty of other women have the same problem. If you know a cold-handed woman who would probably get outside more if she could stay warm, these heated glove liners are a great gift choice.  It's not the sexiest gift in the world, but there's a reason it's at the top of my gift list for women.

One of the most important pieces in any woman's fitness wardrobe is a warm jacket to wear to the gym during cold weather or to workout outside.  Fleece is a nice choice - Soft, warm, flattering and breathable.  I love the Patagonia jacket because it's warm, but not as bulky as other fleece jackets I've tried and it nips in at the waist for a flattering fit.

Yoga pants have become so popular, most women wear them all the time - For yoga, weight training, outdoor workouts and even grocery shopping after a workout.  Athleta makes some of the highest quality, flattering yoga pants out there, the perfect gift choice for the active woman in your life. 

If she's an outdoorsy kind of woman but isn't crazy about having hat-hair, she might appreciate this fleece headband. I like this headband because it's snug, warm and, best of all, it has a little hole in back for the ponytail. 

Yoga toe socks are a great idea if you're looking for a cute stocking stuffer and your lady is into yoga.  It may seem a little odd, but these socks are actually perfect for yoga classes to keep the feet warm and protected.  There's a five-toe construction, giving the toes freedom of movement, and there are grippers on the bottom to keep her from sliding during different poses.  She could also take these out of town for hotel yoga, if she's so inclined.
