If your friend is obsessed with yoga [1] — like eats, sleeps, breathes all things yoga — there's a good chance they already have a stash of high-waisted, moisture-wicking leggings [2] and a yoga mat in their arsenal.
So, instead of resorting to the standard gift card, why not take a practical route when gifting to their passion this holiday season?
Sure, yoga mat cleaner doesn't sound as sexy as a new strappy sports bra, but if your friend starts every single morning with a Vinyasa flow, it'll be appreciated more than you know.
Keep reading to check out four practical gifts your yogi pal will love. Just be prepared — you'll probably get asked to join them in the studio as a thank you.
Yoga Jaci Yoga Mat Towel and Hand Towel Combo Set
Towels are essential in a hot yoga class — well, if you don't want to be slipping and sliding around on your mat. Add the Yoga Jaci Yoga Mat Towel and Hand Towel Combo Set [7] ($24) to your shopping cart. The towels, which have over 800 five-star reviews on Amazon, are made from a superabsorbent thin fabric that soaks up sweat, while staying put on your mat.
Tumaz Yoga Mat Strap
Frankly speaking, carrying a yoga mat is annoying. If your friend isn't one for a mat bag, wrap up this bestselling Tumaz Yoga Mat Strap [8] ($7). It slips over a yoga mat for easy transportation and can double as a stretching strap, too.
Planet Wise Wet Bag
Relaxed, rejuvenated, and absolutely drenched in sweat. That's a standard vibe after a 60-minute hot yoga class. The ultracompact, machine-washable Planet Wise Wet Bag [9] ($18) is perfect for separating dirty, sweaty yoga clothes from the rest of the contents of a gym bag.
Asutra Organic Yoga Mat Cleaner
The yoga mat: a place of clarity and relaxation. It also happens to be a retreat for germs and bacteria. Help your friend keep her favourite yoga accessory clean with the Asutra Organic Yoga Mat Cleaner [10] ($11), formulated with natural ingredients and available in seven different scents — including a scentless option.
