"It's not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving."
~ Mother Teresa
Tis the season, my friends. And like your favorite holiday cocktail, I am mixing things up this year. Rather than craft my own list of goodies to share here on RWM, I have joined forces with Six Minute Mile and together we have created an epic gift guide with a ton of awesome suggestions; most of them tried and true by someone on our team. We cover multiple options in multiple prices ranges. Gear, fuel, fluids, electronics, recovery tools, books - yes and yes. It's all there. For the runner, reader, hiker, biker, flip-flop wearing outdoor enthusiast. There is something for everyone. So, first head over to SMM and check out our guide as I'm guessing we will be saving you some valuable time during this very hectic month. And, let's be honest, we'd all rather be running or drinking coffee or sleeping or....I digress. Now, the best part, I have handpicked a few of my favorite items from the guide and listed them below. And then, because sharing is caring, I will be giving away one of each of these treats. For you or your loved one or....you. Do what you want. I won't tell. To enter just share the best, worst or weirdest gift you've ever received in the comments on this post. I feel like this could go in many different directions. Bring it on. To all of you, have a wonderful holiday filled with love and joy. And coffee. Obviously. Merry Everything!

Paradis Sports Natural Fiber Thong, $29

Smell Well Shoe Inserts, $17
These little magic pouches, made of bamboo charcoal, are designed to absorb moisture and thus eliminate the wet environment for bacteria that leads to stinky shoes. One day, that’s all it takes. When you get ready to hit the road again your shoes will be fresh and dry. The inserts last about a year, so for the price they are almost too good to be true.
Note: RWM giveaway includes one Smell Well set of two

When it is going to be chilly or drizzling on race morning, the lightweight and easy-to-stow Gorewear Concurve Windbreaker is a great solution.

The low air permeable fabric combines wind-blocking protection with breathability to help prevent overheating, plus a DWR treatment that repels light rain.
