Valentine’s Day Gifts for the Active Dude

Written by Ashley

Keep your dude active & stylish – for under $50.

Are you dating one of those ‘Active Andy’ types? Always rushing off for an early morning bike ride, or out to mow the lawn? Never sitting down?  Quick! Catch him this V-Day with these adorable finds.

FIT KIT: If he’s a traveler, or an outdoor excercise guru – why not give him something to work so he’s not constantly creeping kids out on the money bars at the local park? Kit come in versions specified for golf, home, office, travel & dorm – all  including an exercise band, a resistance tube, jump rope, stability attachment, id tag, reflective arm band (for those working the playground late-night) and a sleek carrying case. Then – once they’re all geared up – the exercise library & fitkit club options will keep them motivated & focused on that six-pack. It’s a win/win for everyone.  [$29.99 fitkit.com]

TOMS: If you don’t already have a pair of these do-gooder shoes, you’ll likely have some by spring. Their One for One program ensures that each pair purchased delegates a pair to a kid in need of their own stylin’ kicks.  They’re as comfortable and  easy to slip on & off as any slipper on the market, but eco-chic & sleek enough to get any dude in the car on their way rock climbing, to a concert with their brows or out for a morning frisbee sesh with Fido.  We suggest them in red. For Valentine’s Day & to match #3.    [$44 toms.com]

This Bike Is My Car” Metal Bike Bell: [$24 lavishandlime.com] Eco-friendly, non-toxic/long lasting paint and down-right quirky, this bike bell will adorn any hipster-mobile with 100% durable steel. It’ll make getting runner out of his way on the bridge, and long rides to his summer ultimate dodgeball league that much more enjoyable. [$24 lavishandlime.com]
