If your friends or family members practically live at the gym, share muscle selfies on Facebook or meal prep their entire life (and share it on their Instagram story), you need to start planning now for the perfect gift. From the best protein powder to the newest jump rope, look no further than Amazon and this list for your gym rats this holiday season.

1. FitBit Charge 2 

If your gym rat friend DOESN'T have a Fitbit or fitness tracker yet, are they really a gym rat? The Fitbit Charge 2 with Heart Rate can help to maximize your friend's workouts while tracking your entire life, from sleep habits to hydration.

Buy on Amazon

2. WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope

This is the fitness item your gym rat friend never knew they needed - a speed jump rope. Your friend can totally relate when the gym jump ropes are just not up to par at the gym. They'll be jumping double-unders at lightning speed with this fun tool!

Buy on Amazon

3. Gaiam Yoga Mat

For the yogi in your life (or someone you think needs to relax), a yoga mat is the perfect gift. Gaiam yoga mats are affordable and unique.

Buy on Amazon

4. Snackmaster Dehydrator

This unique contraption is a food dehydrator. Your friend or family member can dehydrate fruit and veggies to make their very own (healthy) chips!

Buy on Amazon

5. Non-Slip Yoga Socks

Is your friend ever practicing yoga and slip around from all the sweat on the mat? These non-slip socks are perfect for hot-yoga lovers and pair perfectly with a new yoga mat.

Buy on Amazon

6. Multi-Style Headband

These fitness headbands are extremely cute and pull away your hair for when the workout session gets serious. Also, your gym rat friend can use this when they're not at the gym (which is almost never) as a chic hair piece.

Buy on Amazon

7. REEHUT Durable Ankle/Wrist Weights

This is a hidden gem of a gift because, more than likely, your friend hasn't thought of this before. Ankle/wrist weights can immediately elevate someone's workout. The weights can be inserted or removed depending on their skill level.

Buy on Amazon

8. WODFitters Pull Up Assistance Bands

Your friend probably sees these bands at the gym and thought they were way too expensive, but these WODFitter bands are inexpensive and serve multiple purposes.

Buy on Amazon

9. HYDRO CELL Stainless Steel Water Bottle

These water bottles are extremely durable and keep water cold for hours. Perfect for their newest water bottle revamp.

Buy on Amazon

10. bintiva Workout Bar

Good luck wrapping this weighted bar! This exercise tool can serve many purposes, from practicing lifting moves to increasing back strength.

Buy on Amazon

11. Clif Bar Energy Pack

If all else fails, buy them a pack of energy bars that they wouldn't usually buy for themselves.

Buy on Amazon

12. Zen Breeze Essential Oil Diffuser

At the end of the day, your friend or family member needs to relax and decompress. What's a better way to relax than with essential oils?

Buy on Amazon

13. Everlast Pro Style Training Gloves

They can knock out the new year with a pair of boxing gloves. Boom - holiday gift win.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
