Gag Gifts for a Runner
Running is serious business, but some runners enjoy good gag gifts as much as gag-gift givers do. Take some authentic cues from the world of runners, then give them a friendly twist for a good laugh.

Goofy Sunglasses
-
Help them see which path to take
Runners who protect their eyes from harmful UV rays with fancy wraparound sunglasses will turn quite a different shade when they open their present: a gigantic pair of goofy glasses.
Rear-View Mirror
-
They will know when they are being followed
If they want to see where they have been or what is coming up on them at an alarming pace, runners will love a head-mounted rear-view mirror. Never mind that it comes attached to a clunky helmet---safety first.
Imodium A-D
-
Runners have a home away from home
Some runners experiences it right before a race: diarrhea. The timing seems to be about as horrible as the experience. A bottle of Imodium A-D will get a chuckle but will also be much appreciated.
Sundial Watch
-
Runners are obsessive about their minutes per mile
What with all the newfangled global positioning systems, stopwatches and laps available on running watches, a homemade sundial watch will let your running friends know how much you care by taking them back to the basics.
Headphones
-
Runners get their groove on while on the road
Everyone knows that bigger is, indeed, better when it comes to listing to tunes. Runners are no exception. And the bigger the headphones, the bigger the thank you.
