I have two perfect DIY gift ideas for runners. As my father was preparing to run a half marathon, I made him a "race survival kit". He loved this gift because not only were these things that he needed in his race preparation, but also he felt my support in a creative way. These were the things included in the shoebox: 1- Chocolate- because you “RUN for Chocolate” 2- Pasta- Time to Carb up 3- Band aids- "bye-bye blisters" 4- Nuts- You know you’re a little “nuts” to be doing this… 5- Sports drink- #Hydrate 6- Power bar- … for the last minute power you will need 7- toe clipper and cream- "Every step counts- take it one foot at a time" 8- race bib- (with inspirational quote) Later on, after his race, I made him a display board for his medals and bibs. It has hooks and clips to keep them all together, and a positive running quote. This gift keeps on being used! Now rather than keeping the race medals on a closet door handle he can display them proudly in his home office.
