Thirsty (for knowledge) Thursday: Gifts for Runners

Tis' the season. Runner's World recently published a list of 15 of the best gifts for runners:

#1: Garmin Fenix 5X:

I've heard good things.

#2: A new pair of running shoes:

Obvious.

#3: Jabra Elite Sport Wireless Earbuds:

Ehh.

#4: Trekz Wireless Headphones:

Again I say: ehh.

#5: Amazfit Bip Smartwatch:

I don't know anything about this.

#6: Nordictrack C990.

I would like one in the basement.

#7: Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow:

My friends who have this like it.

#8: TriggerPoint GRID Mini Foam Roller:

OOOoooohhh! Yes please.

#9: Balega No Show Socks:

No. Never buy a new brand of socks for a runner. They have THEIR socks. Don't be dumb.

#10: Apple Watch Series 4:

I like having information... but this is too much.

#11: Instant Pot Slow Cooker:

It took us a while to like ours (we really had to sift through a lot of shitty recipes), but now we use it often.

#12: Goodr Sunglasses:

Why?

#13: Runner's World Merchandise:

That "This sucks. I love it. I'm a runner." shirt is pretty great.

#14: Recovery Sandal:

"Recovery sandal?" Sure. If you buy this, I have a "recovery foot massager" to
sell you for the low low price of $9.99. (It looks like a golf ball. Dummy.)

#15: Personalized Medal Holder:

Maybe a good gift. If they have an ego. (I don't mean that in a negative way.)
