It’s the end of Thanksgiving weekend and you can’t turn on the television without seeing images of large groups of people waiting in line for the best deals in town. Shopping for the yoga lover in your life is easy and you won’t have to wait in line to do it. There are great gift ideas for every price range.
Yoga mats are fairly inexpensive, but range in price. The average yoga mat is a great choice if you are looking for the best price. There are organic yoga mats that are made with all natural materials, if you want to spend a little more. Some yoga mats are available in kits or with a bag and these make great gifts.
New yoga clothes are always appreciated. One thing to consider when buying yoga clothes for a gift is to get the right size. The clothing needs to fit right and not tight or binding for freedom of motion during the class. Be sure you know the right size or shop at a store with a liberal return policy, rather than buying online. A yoga gift certificate for a shop that sells yoga clothes is a good solution, if you are unsure of the correct size.
Books and DVDs are a great choice for anyone who enjoys practicing yoga at home. There are numerous books, CDs and DVDs on the market. Consider the type of yoga the individual prefers to practice and their level of practice when purchasing materials to use at home. You don’t want to get a beginner’s DVD for an advanced student, or a power yoga DVD for someone who prefers a slow, gentle stretch.
Yoga studio memberships are a great choice, if you want to spend more money on the recipient. Depending on the studio, you can get a gift certificate or purchase a membership for anything from one month to the entire year.
There are a nearly unlimited number of other yoga supplies and accessories that make great gifts. Shopping online is the best way to find variety and the best price. Compare pricing because deals can often be found on similar items, without the need to stand in the cold or rain in the middle of the night on Black Friday.
