We've rounded up cute water bottles, workout accessories, food delivery services, and at-home fitness equipment that can turn any space into a functional gym. If there's someone in your life who lives and breathes fitness, this is just the inspo you're looking for.

Keep reading to take a look at some of the best fitness gifts you can buy, all with an editor's stamp of approval. Whether you're buying for a runner, a weightlifter, a yogi, or an occasional cyclist, they could use — and thoroughly enjoy — just about every one of these products; they all make great gifts for athletic people. We found great gifts for gym-lovers, gifts the hot-girl-walk enthusiast will enjoy, and gifts for the active person looking to live a healthy lifestyle.

Lululemon Align Pant ($98)

The Align legging is the buttery-soft yoga pant of any active person's dreams. As one of Lululemon's bestsellers, these leggings have a loyal fan club for being cozy and comfortable enough to wear all day. They're also great for yoga, Pilates, and other low-impact activities — or for taking your dog on a walk, cooking, or hanging out at home. Once you (or your giftee) try them, you'll never want to wear anything else. You can read our review of the Lululemon Align Pant.

Girlfriend Collective Scrap Scrunchie ($6)

If you're looking for an affordable gift, stocking stuffer, or something little to add on to another purchase, you can't go wrong with these Girlfriend Collective scrunchies. They'll keep hair up for workouts without creating bends and look cute worn on your wrists, too. Our editor loves how they hold her hair back without getting too wet from sweat or requiring excessive adjusting. You can read our review of the Girlfriend Collective scrunchies.

If you know someone who's equally obsessed with the "Barbie" movie as they are with Pilates, snag a pair of these grippy socks for them to wear during their workouts. These trendy crew-cut socks are covered with sticky, silicone dots on the bottom, which offer up grip for reformer workouts, barre, yoga, or just walking around the house. You can also proudly tell your friend that the cast of "Barbie" trained for the movie by doing Pilates, too. (And on the off chance your giftee isn't a Barbie fan, there are plenty of other colors, too.)

If you're looking for a gift for a Peloton-lover but think they have all their workout equipment needs covered, this thoughtful bracelet could be just the thing. There are several different messages and colorways available as part of the collab between Little Words Project and Peloton, but all of them have "you've got this" vibes. Even better? They'll get anyone that much closer to rivaling their favorite Peloton instructor's bracelet stack.

A Bestselling Belt Bag

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag ($38)

This beloved Lululemon belt bag has sold out time and time again, for one reason only: it's just that good. It's the perfect size for stashing your keys, wallet, and phone, so you can head out on a hot-girl walk, to the gym or a class, or on a hike with all your essentials. It goes without saying that it's a great gift — and if they already have one, get them a fuzzy fleece version, the mini, or one of the many other colors.

The brand is a certified B corporation that funds conservation projects in parks around the US, so you and your giftee can both rest easy knowing that you're doing good with your holiday shopping.

This Alo mat is a really sturdy option, comes in six sleek colors, and even gets a POPSUGAR editor's stamp of approval. To learn more, read our editor's review of the Alo Warrior Mat.

A Cute Pickleball Paddle

Recess Pickleball Paddle ($86)

If it feels like everyone you know is getting into pickleball, it's because they probably are. Gifting them a luxe pickleball paddle is a great gift for under $100, and this one from Recess is so chic and unique. It comes in a few different patterns, but we love this tropical motif.

A Pair of Bouncy Running Sneakers

APL TechLoom Zipline Sneakers ($320)

Our editors have tried what feels like every sneaker on the market, and this APL pair is the best of the best. They're admittedly pricier than the average sneaker, so get them for someone you really love (or yourself). They've got superior cushioning and support but still feel lightweight and easy to move in, and they come in over a dozen colors. You can wear them to run, dance, box, or do any high-impact activity, and they're also a great shoe to take when you travel. Read our review of the APL TechLoom Zipline Sneakers.

P.volve Signature Bundle ($200)
This equipment bundle comes with some key pieces that'll help you or your giftee kickstart a new at-home workout regimen — Jennifer Aniston's favorite workout regimen, that is. It comes with the P.ball, P.band, and precision mat, plus access to Pvolve's streaming platform for one month free. If you want to start smaller, you can also buy single pieces of equipment from Pvolve on Amazon — may we recommend their one-of-a-kind P.3 Trainer or Ankle Band? And if you want to learn more about the workouts, read our editor review of the Pvovle workout method.

A Sauna Blanket: Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket

Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket ($699)

If you know your recipient loves the feeling and effects of a sauna but can't build one in their home — or know someone who's always cold — this sauna blanket is a brilliant present. You simply preheat the blanket and climb inside for 30 to 45 minutes to work up a sweat and experience complete relaxation. It even has a layer of amethyst and tourmaline crystals, charcoal, and clay inside to make the experience feel truly luxurious. (For the record, even Peloton instructor Tunde Oyeneyin swears by it.)
