The best gifts to be the king of the Box.

The season of gifts, details, the invisible friend arrives and you have that person obsessed with WODs to whom you have to give a gift, but you don't know where to start or what they might need. Or you are simply going to take advantage and give yourself a good gift that you deserve it and you have earned it! Here are some ideas:

1. Dress your feet

Socks

Surely you have seen on social networks or in your box that many athletes wear very colorful socks with bright prints. The most famous are from the Stance brand, and their prints range from Michael Jackson to Star Wars and from NBA/NFL teams to Mickey Mouse.
If the €16/€19 that a pair costs seems too much to you or you are looking for more brands from the cross training world, you have other options such as Hookgrip socks, Caffeine&Kilos , Rogue , or the official Reebok CrossFit ® socks ( men and women ).

Footwear

Who doesn't like new sneakers? It doesn't matter if you have one pair or ten at home, we all love entering the box with our new sneakers. It doesn't matter if they are the Reebok Nano, the Nike Metcon (all 4 go on sale in a few days), the Adidas Crazypower or a NoBull. We all enjoy that feeling. If you don't want to invest a lot of money, you can always use not-so-new models and some offers. It is important to be careful because you can save yourself a lot of money. If, on the other hand, you want to treat yourself, go for your favorites without thinking too much about it. Take a look around the WodElement and Fittest Freakest website (or stores) where you will find many models and good offers.

2. Take care of those hands

Streets

One of the best ways to protect your hands against callus breaks. If you also choose a good option you will improve your performance. Yes, this is when we recommend that you give Azor Grip as a gift. Reasons? They are the ones used by Regionals and Games athletes such as Annie Thorisdottir, Patrick Vellner, Jonne Koski or Björgvin Gudmundsson. They are light and very thin so they won't bother you. They are very resistant (if that is your main concern, take a look at the Falcon Grips ) and on top of that, their patented fabric improves grip. And we all know that a better grip means extra pull-ups during the WOD. And a few extra pull-ups are the difference between beating your partner and being able to hesitate at the end of class or having to put up with their jokes in the locker room.

Hand cream and repair

Wearing pads does not prevent you from getting calluses. Therefore, it is important to take care of them and take care of your hands. A good repair cream will help you have soft and hydrated hands. And from time to time they need to be filed or removed. All the products you need to take care of your hands are available at WOD Welder. Good creams, files, callus removers, etc...

3. Improve performance

Camber

Chances are you have (or the person you're giving to has) a jump rope. That or you have only been doing WODs for a short time and you still use the one they lend you at the Box. The world of ropes offers a lot, because there are plastic ones, aluminum ones. With a bearing or two. With 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm cable. Ergonomic handle, straight handle. And the price ranges go from €10 to close to €100 in some cases.

Don't know which one to choose? We make it easy for you:

The Bee Rope from PicSil (surprise!). And not only because we made it, but because we have put a lot of effort into creating a rope with the best possible features and at a reasonable price. Ergonomic handle for any type of hand. Made of lightweight and ultra-resistant aluminum. Patented BeeClick system for quick, keyless adjustment. 2mm lightweight cable. Double bearing that allows high rotation speed. And a weight distribution throughout the handle so that it does not burden your shoulders or forearms during use. Still doubting? This is what a 6-time regional athlete and Grid League professional like Hannah Caldas thinks...

4. Outfit with style

Clothes

With training clothes it's like with footwear, a little more never hurts. It doesn't matter that out of every 10 washing machines 9 are for sports clothes, it's likely that your friend won't have enough. There are more and more clothing brands designed for this sport and that are outside the 3 or 4 big brands on the market. We have a list of favorites: the guys from Fehuhreinn and their Viking spirit, the neighbors and booth companions in 2017 Fran Cindy , the simplicity and British elegance of Evolve RX , the impossible prints of the Nordic Northern Spirit or the infinite collection of t-shirts from Rogue .

Bag or backpack

The great forgotten by the majority. Some still use the same one they used 10 years ago or it's one that was given to them in a raffle and the poor guy can't give any more. The options are varied, but if you think it is the ideal gift, we recommend that you wait a few days ;)

SUMMARY

Giving a gift to a WOD fan is not as difficult as it seems, and it does not have to be expensive. And if you don't believe it, look at our CrossFit packs. And you? Have you already chosen your gift?
