Our favorite tools, gear, and daily essentials for the movers, adventurers, athletes, and recovery-nerds in your life.
1. Oakley Meta Glasses — Your New Adventure SidekickThese Oakley Meta Glasses have officially become our go-to adventure companion — and honestly, we can’t believe how much we love them. Our friend Mike Brown told us they were the move if you want to capture content without fumbling with your phone, and he was absolutely right.
I’ve never been able to get a GoPro setup to work the way I hoped: too many mounts, too many buttons, too much “wait… is this even recording?” These glasses solved all of that instantly. Just put them on and go.
They’ve already captured gorgeous mountain-bike POV footage, and we cannot wait to bring them on the ski hill this winter.
The magic is that everything just works. Tap for photos or video, listen to music, take a call if you must — all without stopping the action or digging around for your phone. They feel like normal sporty Oakleys, which is probably why I forget I’m even filming until I get home and see all these epic moments I would have missed.
A perfect gift for anyone who loves being outside, exploring, adventuring, or capturing memories without interrupting the fun.
2. YETI Shaker Bottle — The Shaker We’ve Waited Years For
We’ve been waiting years to put this one in our holiday round-up. YETI finally made a shaker bottle — and it absolutely delivered.
We get protein on board almost daily, and the parade of leaky, clunky shaker cups we’ve gone through… let’s just say it’s been a journey. We always said that if YETI ever made a shaker, it would solve all those problems in one shot. And it has.
The internal Helimix design blends powders beautifully without:
Weird metal balls Clunky screens Protein sludge cemented to the bottomIt’s truly leak-proof (hallelujah), lightweight, BPA-free, mostly recycled material, dishwasher-safe, and built exactly the way we wish every shaker bottle was built.
This is the kind of simple, perfect gift that quietly makes someone’s daily routine better — early gym sessions, long work days, travel, post-ride shakes… this thing fits anywhere.
3. Dream Recovery Sleep Mask — Better Sleep, Everywhere
A great sleep mask has become non-negotiable in our nightly routine. We wear one every single night and never travel without it — the difference in sleep quality is massive.
We’ve tested every sleep mask over the last decade. Truly: all materials, all shapes, all styles. The Dream Recovery Sleep Mask is our hands-down favorite. Soft, lightweight, blocks all light, stays put without feeling tight, and just makes sleep easier—anywhere.
This is a fantastic, affordable gift or stocking stuffer. It’s simple, useful, and something people end up using every single night.
4. Momentous Three Stack — Protein, Creatine, OmegasWe Starretts are all-in on the Momentous Three stack — protein, creatine, and omegas — because these are our personal, daily, ride-or-die supplements. This trio is almost boring in how well-studied it is:
Protein → supports recovery and rebuilding Omegas → brain health + inflammation support Creatine → strength, power, cognitive benefits, and aging supportMomentous products are all NSF for Sport certified, trusted by 150+ pro teams, and have the kind of testing and transparency that truly matters.
If you want to give a gift that genuinely helps someone feel stronger, clearer, and more resilient — this is a no-nonsense, foundational choice.

5. Wolf Squat Wedge — The Lower Body Upgrade
We featured the Wolf Squat Wedge earlier this year, and it has officially earned permanent residency in Juliet’s squat routine.
She has — without exaggeration — the stiffest ankles on earth, and this wedge has made a remarkable difference. It gives the perfect heel lift so you can get into a deeper, stronger, more stable squat without fighting your own mobility.
No bells and whistles — just beautifully made, sturdy, simple, and effective.
A fantastic gift for:
Anyone who squats regularly Anyone working around ankle restrictions Anyone wanting cleaner, more confident leg trainingSmall tool, massive impact.
6. MarcPro — Our #1 Most Recommended Recovery Device
If there is one recovery tool we recommend more than anything else, this is it. We’ve tried every high-tech recovery gadget imaginable over the years, and the MarcPro is the one every household should have.
It’s insanely versatile:
Daily muscle recovery Post-surgical healing Circulation support Soreness after hard training Irritated tissues helping kids bounce back from big sports daysCaroline even sleeps with it after long training days because it helps her legs feel dramatically better by morning.
It’s simple, safe, highly effective, and truly something people use for years.
If you want to give a gift that genuinely helps someone recover, heal, and stay active — this is the one.
7. Suji BFR — Biomedical-Grade Blood Flow Restriction Training
We’re thrilled to include Suji in this year’s gift guide because BFR (blood flow restriction) has become one of our most powerful tools for strength, recovery, and pain management.
We’ve taught BFR in our Movement & Mobility 102 course for over a decade — especially for prepping painful tissues, supporting post-surgical recovery, and helping people with joint pain move better.
For years, we struggled to recommend a commercial BFR system because they were insanely expensive. Suji changed the game. It’s biomedical-grade, research-supported, easy to use, and accessible.
If you want to give someone a gift that helps them feel better, get stronger, recover well, and move with more confidence, Suji is a fantastic choice.
