Top 5 Christmas Gifts for Sports Enthusiasts

Christmas is creeping up on us once more, and that means there are a lot of people who are going to be frantically searching for the perfect gift.  If you have an active sports enthusiast on your Christmas shopping list, this list of popular gifts may have the solution to your problem.  From golfers to cyclists to snowboarders, we’ve got the perfect gift.

1) Bike riding has become popular for exercise, but when the cold weather hits, it can be a problem.  Icy roads, inattentive drivers and freezing rain can dampen anyone’s enthusiasm for getting out on their bike.   If this is a problem for someone on your Christmas list, then the CycleOps Fluid 2 Indoor Bicycle Trainer is the solution.  The CycleOps Fluid 2 attaches to your regular bicycle, turning it into a functional, comfortable stationary bike that you can ride in the comfort of your own home. It’s less expensive than a conventional stationary bike, and allows the cyclist to maintain their regular balance and position because they’re using their own bike.   And, it brings them inside off the frozen winter roads, into the comfort of their own home.

2) Every golfer is looking to shave strokes off their game.  For the best drive, it’s important to choose the correct club for the distance.  That’s where a good pinfinder comes in – measuring the distance from the tee to the flag.  And the Bushnell Golf Pinseeker 1500 Tournament Edition Laser Rangefinder is one of the best ones out there.  It features digital technology that allows ranges of up to 1,500 yards, and is accurate to within 1 yard at that distance.  It’s truly the perfect Christmas gift for any golfer on your list.

3)  Is someone on your list an avid traveler, hiker, or camper? Do you have a loved one who is always on the go?  I’m sure they know that getting lost is no fun – especially if you’re miles away from someone who can give you directions.  That’s why the Garmin GPS 60CSx Handheld GPS Navigator makes such a great Christmas present for anyone who loves to travel! With the Garmin GPS 60CSx,  they’ll always know where they are and how to get to where they’re going. It’s also the perfect gift for the family who enjoys geocaching.

4)  For the rugged outdoorsman (or the weekend warrior) traveling light is always best.  That’s why the Casio Men’s Pathfinder Multi-band Solar Atomic Ultimate Watch makes such a great Christmas gift for the man on the go – it features an altimeter, barometer, calendar, tide charts, thermometer and more, all in an attractive and rugged watch.  With Atomic timekeeping and Solar powered battery, he’ll never have to worry about losing track of the time.

5)  No one likes frozen rain in their face, and the wind in your eyes while going downhill at high speed is no fun either.  Whether snowboarding or skiing, downhill or cross-country, good eye protection can mean the difference between a fun day on the slopes or a miserable day in the cold.  If you know someone who enjoys wintersports, customizable Bolle Quasar Goggles are a perfect Christmas gift choice.
