Short summary
What to get for Christmas – think about your loved one’s passion
Before we give you our best suggestions for gifts for athletes, we’ll give you some advice on what to consider when shopping for a loved one.
First of all, determine your budget – sports gadgets are usually less expensive than completing a full set of clothing. Knowing your options will make it easier to decide on specific products.
When searching for the best fit gift, you should be aiming for what your loved one needs or dreams of, not urging them to take up an activity they don’t do or don’t want to try. Buying a gift ‘at a push’ won’t bring a sincere smile, so if your partner, spouse, sister or brother likes quiet relaxation on a yoga mat, don’t complete a running outfit for them, as they most likely won’t use it anyway.
Not sure what gadgets or clothing will make your loved one happy? You can ask them directly what they need or observe them doing their favourite sport. Perhaps they mentioned that they could use a new running jacket for winter or shoes that cushion the shocks better? Also, check out their social media profiles – you may find their own sports gift ideas saved to one of their boards (Pinterest).
A gift related to sports – an idea for active people
Sportswear for the active — if the first thing that comes to mind is sportswear, then we suggest something from our Multiactive collection. The clothes in this collection are the answer to the needs of active people who practice different sports on a daily basis (running, weight training, Pilates, etc.). It consists of sports clothes designed to provide comfort and support regardless of the type of activity — they are suitable for intensive strength and endurance training, but also for everyday life, walking and general movement.
The MULTIACTIVE collection includes women's and men's clothing — training shirts, shorts, leggings, sports bras — with different cuts and types of support and is a kind of training base that allows users to choose the option that is right for them. The collection is available all year round in all 4F shops, so if you miss a size, don't worry — the giftee will be able to get the right one in one of our showrooms.
Fitness/gym
A great idea for a small gift for a guy who likes the gym would be a shaker in which he can prepare a protein drink or a bidon that will help ensure proper hydration during exercise. Similar trinkets will put a smile on women’s faces too – a thermal bottle is a practical gadget that will work well for training at home and at the fitness club. At the 4F store, you will also order non-slip exercise and yoga mats with a minimalistic design, taking care of the comfort of training with your own body weight. Is a loved one of yours dreaming of professional equipment to exercise at home? Resistance bands and sliders don’t take up much space, and they are great for improving stamina. A classic gift is also fitness clothing – a training top and shorts that will provide freedom of movement and wick away moisture to the outer layers.

Running
How to choose a small gift for a runner? A great idea would be a running bumbag or a set consisting of a hat and gloves – just perfect for winter runs. People who love running need specialised clothing – a thermal top, shorts or long leggings. If you know the size your friend, sister or brother wears, you can order a running jacket or even shoes. Did you remember the size wrong? Don’t worry – you can always exchange it for another one at the 4F store.

Yoga
Not sure what to choose for gift for a woman who regularly practices yoga? An excellent idea would be a non-slip yoga mat, which will provide stability and comfort when performing even the most difficult asanas. Any yogi will also appreciate comfortable trousers and a top that won’t slip down during activity.

Cycling
If you are looking for a small gift for a cyclist, you can order a practical bidon, a thermal bottle or gloves that ensure a good grip on the handlebars and cushioning in case of a fall. At the 4F store, you will also order professional cycling T-shirt and shorts with a hygiene insert for both female and male cyclists. The best gift idea for a sportswoman will also be a breathable helmet with the necessary certifications, and other accessories to show that you support your loved ones in pursuing their greatest passions.

Football
The best gift for a football player? It can be, for example, a sports bag to take to every workout or a wristband to absorb sweat during intense games. An idea for an apt gift for a man who trains football will be socks and new shoes, as well as a set of clothes for training.
Outdoor and trekking
Don’t have any ideas for a sports gift for a girl or boy who does trekking, or other outdoor activities? Choose a functional softshell jacket that protects against cold, wind and moisture, or small accessories such as a hat, gloves and scarf. People who engage in trekking and outdoor sports need clothing that will provide them comfort in the most extreme conditions. When choosing products from our offer, check the rating of the membrane, fabric impregnation and other important parameters. If you don’t want to buy clothes, you can choose a practical backpack available in many sizes, which is essential in the mountains, as well as during other expeditions into the unknown.
