Cheap Christmas Gift Ideas For Fit Friends And Family

The holidays are a busy time of year for everyone. It is tough to eat healthy, get in those workouts, and stay on budget. Keeping your bank account in a good place is especially challenging when shopping for Christmas presents or other holiday gifts for friends, family, coworkers and employees. It is so easy to overspend, or spend on items that aren't so healthy. That's why I have compiled a list of affordable cheap Christmas gift ideas for those picky fitness enthusiasts in your life. And you can get them all delivered to your home quickly and affordably to make things more convenient. Enjoy!

1. Gym Clock: $20 at Target

When it comes to personalised Christmas gifts, a clock might not be the first thing that comes to mind. But when you have the opportunity to get a customized clock for your recipient's gym or home gym, it makes much more sense. If the person you are giving a gift to is really into fitness they might even put it in their bedroom! It is a great reminder that it is always time for fitness!

2. Tagital Fitness Tracker Watch: $20 at Wal-Mart

If you're looking for Christmas gifts for Mums that love fitness or that athletic man in your life, look no further than Tagital affordable fitness tracking smart band watches. Why buy a FitBit or Smart Watch for hundreds of dollars when you can get a great fitness tracker for just pennies on the dollar. This smart fit band does everything from pedometer, sleeping, heart rate, bluetooth, and of course time. 

3. Dumbbell Water Bottle: $17 on Amazon 

Want to give a unique gift that is practical, affordable and fun? Look no further than a dumbbell-shaped water bottle! I have never seen anything like this and I know I need to buy one for myself immediately. And the price is the same amount or cheaper than a regular water bottle! Enjoy free shipping for Amazon Prime members as well so you can make sure Santa delivers it in time for Christmas morning. 

4. Fitness Equipment, Food & Vitamins For $1 at Dollar Tree

Give the frugal gift of health and fitness this year at none other than my favorite store: The Dollar Tree! Why? Because EVERYTHING is only $1! They have a decent amount of health and fitness products available at their physical stores, but an absolutely amazing selection on their website! From jump ropes to bands and vitamins, there is a wide variety of cheap healthy Christmas gifts for everyone on your list. 

5. Under Desk Elliptical

What could be more discreet and effective than a treadmill desk or a physioball to create a healthier workstation? An under desk elliptical of course! It's also a much more affordable and realistic option than an actual piece of cardiovascular workout equipment like a treadmill or treadmill desk. This great gift helps to keep your family, friends and co-workers healthy, fit, and motivated. Healthy employees and family members are happier and more productive too! The prices for under desk ellipticals start at around $70.

6. Humorous Golf T-Shirts: £15-25 at Golf Crowd 

Give the gift of golf and laughs with great t-shirts from Golf Crowd! These hilarious tees will keep your friends, family and coworkers smiling year round on and off the green. And shipping is extra quick if you live in the UK!

Christmas Sugar Cookies 

Ingredients:

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

1/4 tsp kosher salt

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for the work surface

Instructions:

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla and salt. Reduce mixer speed to low and gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined (do not overmix). Shape into a 1-inch-thick disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 3 days. Heat oven to 350° F. On a floured surface, roll the dough ¼ inch thick. Using lightly floured 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters, cut the dough into shapes, flouring the cutters and rerolling the scraps as necessary. Place 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the edges just begin to brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (Mine took less, keep an eye on them.) Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Royal Icing

Ingredients:

4 cups powdered sugar (1 [1-pound] box)

2 egg whites, lightly beaten

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as needed

Instructions:

Combine ingredients in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whisk on medium speed, stopping to scrape down the bowl, until glossy and stiff, about 5 minutes. Add additional lemon juice until the frosting is the desired consistency. Fill a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag with one corner snipped off and use to decorate cookies. (If not using immediately, place a piece of waxed paper or plastic wrap on the surface, cover in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until ready to use. Stir before using.)
