Season’s greetings, reader!

Are there runners on your holiday shopping list? Do these runners enjoy fun gifts? Are you still reading?

If you answered “Heck yes” to at least one of those first two questions, and “Yes, but get to the point” to the third, well, do I have some terrific gift ideas for you.

These gifts are terrific for at least two reasons:

  1. They aren’t boring.

  2. With each purchase, you will will help keep Dumb Runner independent and ad-free.

Basically, choosing Dumb Runner gifts is a win all around.

I honestly think you’ll find something here for every runner on your list. Any runner who’s not a total dud, that is. (And if you’re shopping for a total dud? Well, there’s always the RunStrap.)

Happy shopping, happy holidays, and thanks for your support.

Note: While some of the links below go to the DumbRunner.com store, others will take you to Threadless.com or Lulu.com—external websites with their own carts, checkouts, customer service, etc. Questions? Comments? Special requests? Drop me a line.—Mark

From my Threadless shop: I’ve always wanted a Dumb Runner shirt with a pig on it, and now I have one. Who says dreams can’t come true?

C is for Chafing ($12, signed and personalized)

Whether you're a child, a child at heart, or just childish, you'll enjoy C is for Chafing—a kid-friendly running book that covers the good (E is for Endorphins) the bad (B is for Blister), and the ugly (O is for "Oh, No...").

“Dumb Runner Track Club” Sponge Fleece Pullover Hoody ($42)

From my Threadless shop: Do you have what it takes to join the DRTC? (Hint: If you have a working credit card, you have what it takes.)

2020 Motivational Poster Wall Calendar ($22)

If you like Dumb Runner’s Motivational Posters you’ll love this full-sized calendar, which features 12 “inspirational” images and key dates such as Boston Marathon race day, National Ampersand Day, and my birthday. (Click here for a preview.)

“Dumb Runner Triple Indy” 15-oz Mug ($14)

From my Threadless shop: Coffee just tastes better when you’re drinking it from a mug that says “Dumb Runner” on it three times. That’s just science.

"Various Obstacles" Poster ($5)

A thick, glossy version of the popular Dumb Runner Motivational Poster. At 8.5x11 inches, it’s perfectly sized for a cubicle wall or fridge.

“Indie Humor” Tote Bag (from $18)

The Dumb Runner Reader ($14, signed and personalized)

A “greatest hits” collection of posts from the first two years of your favorite running humor website. (That would be DumbRunner.com.) I will inscribe it to whomever you like.

“University of Dumb Runner” Triblend Tank ($21)
