Question: Are you doing a gift exchange at work or with your friends?
I am! And ironically I have no idea what to get my person because I’m pretty sure she already has all this stuff.
Livi says
I love gift exchanges! My friends and I always do one before heading home for the semester!
Losing Lindy says
you didn’t put chaffing cream on it?
How about a pedicure?
Jojo @ RunFastEatLots says
I usually have a holiday party at my house for my friends and I, where we have a secret santa gift exchange

That wine glass is awesome! I love the last one – I gave my honey a “veto” coupon one year, and he’s still got it, waiting for that day I go off the deep end so he just gets to go “nope”. 🙂
We usually do a coworker white elephant exchange, but we don’t do anything like that with friends. That could be a lot of fun though!
Shannon in Tustin says
Love quote on the t-shirt, wish it didn’t have the name at the bottom.
Love the glass too; but after the first 100 calorie reminder, I’d likely ignore it! 😉
Happy Thanksgiving, Monica!
mary @ minutes per mile says
i know socks are considered a “boring” gift, but i think GOOD running socks (like Balega) are a great gift. i personally never splurge on good socks, so i would be so excited to receive a pair!
Ashley says
I love that wine glass!! Although it would take away my ignorance that when I pour half the bottle into my HUGE wine glass, that I’m still only having one glass of wine. I kind of like that ignorance.
Caitlin says
The gym bag survival kit is a great idea. I’m definitely going to check out the link to the wine glass danglers!
Megan @ Lazy Runner Girl says
Great ideas. I may have to casually send this link to my fella – hint, hint.

Great ideas! I love the gym bag survival kit. 🙂
Nicole @ Pink Elephant on Parade says
There was a work gift exchange last year, a “white elephant.” I got a bag of festive paper clips. It’s not making a return at the holiday party this year, though.
Heather @ Run Eat Play says
Great ideas – I love that water bottle!
Aimee - funfitgirl says
Great list!! My work does both a secret Santa during the week before Christmas and a white elephant gift thing at our Christmas party. My company might just love Christmas…
