Surprise the runner in your life with the best running stocking stuffers around. I don’t know why, but opening a stocking is my favorite part of Christmas morning. For some reason, some of the best goodies are the smallest, and it’s always fun to see what “Santa” brings.
This post is an update from an earlier version, originally published on 11/16/2022.
Socks
The obvious answer is to keep with a theme. New running socks totally belong in stockings. Check out this new line from Jogology for a simple choice that’s bound to be a hit. These are seamless, sustainable, super comfy, and socially conscious. Runners always need socks, so these are a perfect stocking choice.
Running Sunglasses
I don’t know about you, but I can never have enough running sunglasses, and Goodrs are my favorite. I would love to find a fun style among my running stocking stuffers. While the holiday styles are sold out for the season, these Happy New Hangover shades would be perfect to get at Christmas just in time to ring in 2024. At $25-35 a pop, they make nice little treats in that stocking.
Workout Fuel
Instead of candy, a typical stocking stuffer treat, swap in some different varieties of Honey Stinger fuel. If you know for sure what your runner loves, get that, but if not, one of their sampler packs would be much appreciated. Pro Tip: unbox it before adding to the stocking!
Cold Weather Accessories
While it’s not as much of a concern in Florida, things like gloves, buffs, and hats can be awesome stocking stuffers. Brooks Running has super cute winter-themed accessories, like this pom beanie. Who wouldn’t want to wear a hat with those smiling snowmen?
Road ID Accessories
Safety is always in season, which makes RoadID bands a great gift. If you have all the correct info for your favorite person, go ahead and order a band and ID or other accessory. If not, a gift card is a great choice so they can build their own!

You can’t go wrong with Balega socks! I use them all the time and they are incredibly comfy.
I also wouldn’t mind getting a new hydrovest – mine is getting frayed at the edges.
you can never have too many socks or sunglasses! I know you like your glasses as much as I do. Can’t go wrong with any of these
I would love to find any of these in my stocking! I’ve been wearing Knockaround sunglasses but I was thinking about giving Goodr a try.
Running fuel and hydration packets are ALWAYS welcome in my Christmas stocking! I always love motivation bands – sometimes, you just need to be reminded of a mantra, when you’re having a difficult run.
Oooh! I love stocking stuffers. Maybe I should ask Santa for some new sunglasses this year.
I love opening stockings too! And, these are all great choices – I know I could use some new shades 🙂
That is a new to me brand of socks. I agree that you can never go wrong with socks. Running or not, we all need them. I do love those beanies and I have a few of them!
