Over the past few years, I've come to love running [1], and because of it, I've completed 40 runDisney races [2]. That's 40 finisher's medals that I'm very proud of, but when they started stacking up around my house and on my desk, I knew something needed to change. That's when a family member gave me a medal hanger to display my medals, and it instantly became one of my favourite gifts I've ever received. In fact, I love it even more than more practical gifts like a running belt [3], because it keeps my desk clutter-free and has given me a chance to bask in my accomplishments (and occasionally, even brag on myself a little).
If you have a loved one who's an avid runner, you might want to think about purchasing one yourself. Keep reading for a few of my favourites.
