10. Cable Beanie

Just because the days are getting colder, it doesn't mean that their training regimes are slowing down. But now they're faced with well, cold mornings, cold afternoons, and cold evenings. So the commute to the gym means wrapping up, especially if they're travelling by public transport. If your giftee's workout of choice is lengths of the swimming pool, they'll likely be leaving with semi-wet hair, so a cozy beanie is a thoughtful gift-idea to keep their head tops warm and prevent them getting ill after their workouts.

Soft, snug and stylish, these chunky socks are the perfect gift for chilling.
