Put Some Gu Under the Tree

What to give that special someone, the runner? Yes, shoes are always good. But I think the best gifts are those things that your runner wants but doesn't always treat themselves to. Like the following:
1. A Backup Supply of Energy Bars, Gels, Chews, Chumps, Nuun...
Yes, runners will buy themselves a gel or two, but spoil your runner with a big backup of all their favorite (slightly overpriced) energy snacks and drinks. **Bonus points for creative presentation.
Beth (@Boston2Berkley) created this fabulous Christmas Tree of Energy (as seen on her running blog: Boston To Berkley)
I also love this GU Lei created by @frayed_laces (as seen on her running blog: Frayed Laces)
2. Bib Number Coasters (from ElegantElliphant on Etsy)
So many races, so many numbers floating around the house. Declutter and give your runner bragging rights on the coffee table.
3. Massage, Physical Therapy, Chiropractic Adjustment, Graston
This is especially thoughtful if your runner doesn't have health insurance that covers these services. Treat your runner to preventive care, and an injury free 2012. Less injury = happy runner.
4. Self Healing Super Powers
Give your runner the gift of self masage with a roller, travel roller, or "The Stick".
5. Running Apparel
Especially if you see your runner heading out in Champion cheer shorts... hook them up with real running gear and apparel that will keep them motivated (dry and warm) all winter and all year.
6. Rundies
Need we say more? You'll get a laugh out of any runner! Buy Rundies here.
Good luck shopping for your runners. Don't worry you still have time to get your gifts in the mail. If you order at Oiselle.com by 12/16 we promise to deliver (via USPS) by 12/23. We also offer 2 day Fedex in case time gets away from you. Other online stores have similar shipping options - and be sure to show your local runner store some love! -
Holiday Shopping for Fast Women!

We're excited about the holidays over here at Oiselle. The snow is falling in Seattle, my Charlie Brown Christmas Pandora station is playing and it feels like the holidays are really here! Of course snow also means Seattle completely shut down for a day, but we're back.
So every good shopper knows this weekend is THE shopping weekend of the season. I'm not one for waking up early to shop. I'll wake up early to do most anything else, ski, run, get a root canal. Luckily Oiselle is online, so while we'll be offering some great perks you don't even have to change out of your PJs. Pull up your chair to the warm glow of the internet and check those fast ladies off your list.
FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $75. It will be automatically discounted during checkout.
FREE GIFT WRAP. We are primed and ready to get wrapping. Chic and simple brown paper with a satin orange ribbon. Also we have created one-of-a-kind stamped Oiselle cards to write your gift messages on!
FREE KIND BAR with every gift. So if you have 3 seperate gifts just let us know, we'll wrap it all seperate, and top each gift with a delicious KIND Bar.
We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving! Stay warm, travel safe and good luck in your turket trot!
