The 2021 Dumb Runner Gift Guide

Season’s greetings, friends!
Once again it’s the time of year that retail analysts call “late November,” i.e. the time to think about purchasing gifts for your friends and family, because buying things for people is how we say we love them. And once again I have a few suggestions.
Apart from being fun and at least somewhat original, these items all have something in common: When you buy them, Dumb Runner makes a little bit of money. This is important, because Dumb Runner is 100% ad-free. Merch sales, along with reader pledges and donations, are how I fund this endeavor. In short: When you buy Dumb Runner merch, you help to keep Dumb Runner going.
No matter what you buy, or for whom, or why, I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season.
Yours in Good Cheer,
Mark
Note: Items in this gift guide are designed by me but sold via Threadless.com and Lulu.com—external websites with their own shopping carts, checkouts, fulfillment operations, and customer service. Questions? Comments? Special requests? I’m here for you. Just ask!
2022 Dumb Runner Motivational Wall Calendar, $21.99
If you like my motivational posters, you’ll love this wall calendar, because… uh… it’s basically 12 of my motivational posters. But big and glossy, and in calendar form! Click the button below for a full preview or to order.
Dumb Runner Tees, $22 and Up
“5K MARATHON STATE CHAMP” is just one of many designs at my Threadless shop, which offers men’s, women’s, and kids’ shirts in a variety of colors and styles (including long-sleeved, tanks, and technical shirts). Click the button to start browsing.
Dumb Runner Hoodies, $41 and Up
Available in three styles (French Terry, Classic Fleece, Sponge Fleece) for men, women, and kids, these hoodies are 100% awesome. Lots of designs, lots of colors, lots of coziness.
Dumb Runner Prints, $13 and Up
You’ll find several “fine art prints” (their words, not mine) at my Threadless shop, including this motivational poster, my popular “Was It Fun?” comic, and more. They’re available in various sizes, framed or unframed, and on stretched canvas, among other options. Click the button to see ’em all.
Dumb Runner Logo Socks, $13
Unisex sizing in small, medium, or large. These socks are a blend of 60% polyester, 10% acrylic, 25% nylon, and 5% Spandex. The pattern is 100% my face.
The Dumb Runner Training Journal, $12
Like any training diary, this 52-week log has plenty of space to record your daily workouts and mileage. Unlike other training diaries, this one might actually make you laugh. Also: IT’S SPIRAL-BOUND!
A Gift Donation to Dumb Runner (With Personal Note to the Recipient From Me!), $20 and Up
Not keen on buying more stuff for folks who are already up to their eyeballs in it? Consider the gift of laughter, via a pledge or donation to Dumb Runner on the recipient’s behalf. Donate $20 or more in someone else’s name and I will send that person a handwritten thank-you card, some stickers, and maybe even a crude drawing to tell them what an awesome person you are.
IMPORTANT: When making your donation, please note that it is a gift donation and provide the recipient’s name and mailing address, along with any other helpful info. (You may supply this information in a separate email, if you like.)
