Sherry - I find a long list very helpful when I’m shopping for my giftee! It does give lots of options & increase the element of surprise.

Bumping to let my Santa know I posted my list on the space I was holding earlier in this thread!

boakley · 11-04-19, 09:38 AM

Hi Santa! There are lots of things listed here ONLY to give you some ideas

A little about me: I'm a runner (who is currently building strength to recover from and prevent injury), I love yoga and meditation, I like to read, and hike and bike with DH. I’ve been using the stationary bike for cardio lots recently, and I have a treadmill too. I also have a goal of doing a Triathlon someday in the next few years. I play guitar, both acoustic and electric. Used DVDs and books are welcome, I'm a bit of a techie so streaming, e-books, and downloads are doable too. I like Jessica Smith, Nia Shanks, Eoin Finn, Yoga with Adriene, and used to do a lot of Cathe DVDs. I do a LOT of YouTube stuff now.

DVDs/Downloads:
Virtual Active (or similar) – I would love to try a cycling or a hiking video DVD or download
Christine Felstead’s Yoga for Runner’s Beginner or Intermediate DVD or download
Cathe Cycle Max DVD or Download
Jessica Smith: Walk On Metabolism Booster, Walk On Get Strong, Walk On 4 Mile Power Walk

Books: I can read physical or digital on my iPad or Laptop using iBooks or Kindle App. I am in Canada, so anything downloadable from Amazon needs to be from Amazon.ca

Let Your Mind Run: A Memoir of Thinking My Way to Victory – Deena Kastor
Triathlon for the Every Woman: You Can Be a Triathlete. Yes. You. – Meredith Atwood
Slow Fat Triathlete: Live Your Athletic Dreams in the Body You Have Now - Jayne Williams
Running with a Police Escort – Jill Grunenwald
Running Until You’re 100 – Jeff Galloway
The 100-Day Reclaim - Nia Shanks
Simple Songs The Easiest Guitar Songbook Ever– Hal Leonard Corp
More Simple Songs The Easiest Guitar Songbook Ever– Hal Leonard Corp

Other: I love dark chocolate (85%) and hot chocolate. I like tea, especially anything with peppermint. I'm also a coffee drinker (the stronger the better), love bigger mugs. I'm a fan of Star Wars, and Game of Thrones. I like to journal and LOVE fine point pens for writing, blue or black ink, but for some reason when I get one I like, it suddenly disappears. I'm a music lover too, mostly rock/hard rock. I like Essential Oils and use peppermint the most. I like to cook and recently got a Blentec blender if you have smoothie or other recipes to share for it. We are all big basketball fans, NBA (Raptors) and NCAA, and of course our local teams too!

I appreciate anything and everything. I hope this gives you some ideas!

Thank you
Beth

Dear Secret Santa, here are some suggestions of what I would run down the aisles for if I were set loose in a Videofitness grocery store.

About me: I have all the traditional workouts I need, and would love yoga and meditation themed things this year. I can't do vinyasa or power yoga, and prefer gentle yoga - especially yin, restorative and beginner level Kundalini. (FYI, I already have all of Ravi and Ana, Mark Laham's Yin Yoga and Kim Eng's Yin Yoga.) I love to walk on my local beach and go there in almost all weather. Yoga, meditation, beach walks and my Reiki practice are how I use my mental health and fitness time. I will be happy with whatever you send me.

Flexband: Super Exercise Band in level orange.

Glider Discs suitable for hardwood floors.

DVDs: - used are fine. (Hint: Yogatech (Nirvair videos) usually has a Black Friday sale.)

Nirvair, Nirvair Kundalini Yoga for Beginners - Vol. 4 (with digestion and anti-depression routines)
Nirvair, Kundalini Yoga for Relaxation
Shiva Rea's Meditations DVD

Streaming: A month of YogaGlo - https://www.glo.com/gift

Supplies for my yoga and meditation practice:

Leg warmers
Long sleeve woman's cotton tee shirt, size large. A yoga-ish pattern on the front would be fun but don't spend a lot of $$$.
Aromatherapy room spray - soothing scents like chamomile, rosemary or lavender
Candles! (non-jarred b/c of postage $$) - votive, pillar or tea lights, scented or unscented. I love holiday seasonal scents (pumpkins, pines, apple pie, cinnamon, yeah!). I dislike mint, citrus, and the hippie scents, a/k/a patchouli, ylang ylang, pignon.
Palo santo incense cones

Treats (I have a gluten allergy):

Herbal tea in teabags - chamomile, turmeric/ginger blends, fennel, Traditional Medicinals Throat Coat, Yogi Tea Joint Comfort (no mints or citrus please)
Salted dark chocolate covered cashews
Any gluten free dark chocolate treat, really
Small tube of hand lotion for my desk, scented or not

Paperbacks: (I love used books)

The Pocket Book of Stones by Robert Simmons
Living the Reiki Way by Penelope Quest

Thank you for participating in the gift exchange, for reading my list, and for being my Secret Santa.

Dear Secret Santa,

Here is a brief description me and my fitness wishes. I love participating in this and appreciate anything that I receive!

I am a longtime VFer and home exerciser. I enjoy Cathe and KCM, but I also like to dabble with others with more athletic type workouts or circuit workouts. I subscribe to several streaming services, and have most DVDs that I want, but here are a few I'm very interested in.

DVDs/Streaming
*Studio Sweat on Demand (Gift Certificate or 1 Month All Access Pass) https://www.studiosweatondemand.com/...t-certificate/ - I have been wanting to check this one out for a long time.

*Cathe Step Sync DVD - I preordered IMax 4 and PHA Step, but I really think I would like this one, too.

*Fitfusion.com Gift Certificate - Looks interesting
*Virtual Active or something similar for the treadmill/spin bike

Miscellaneous
Motivational Workout Tanks - love them - size XL
Headbands - I have long hair
I love stickers for my planner - exercise and all purpose!
Socks - Size 7
I wear a FitBit Versa, and I like different, fun bands.
Teas - I like Chai, Cinnamon, Spiced varieties

Thanks again for checking out my list and being my Secret Santa!!
