GPS watch or shoes: the runner's gift

For a runner, two gifts stand out. The GPS watch measures pace, distance and heart rate, turning every outing into a tailored session: useful for those training for a half-marathon or simply wanting to improve. A pair of high-end running shoes, with more responsive and durable cushioning, is chosen according to the terrain: cushioned model for the road, studded sole for trails. Before gifting shoes, take note of the brand and model he wears: the fit of a shoe is as important as its size, and a runner loyal to a pair rarely likes to change.

Down jacket or technical jacket for winter

With a larger budget, winter clothing becomes a real gift. The down jacket offers the best balance between warmth and weight and can be compressed into a bag, making it perfect for hiking and travel; synthetic insulation retains heat better when wet. The technical jacket, waterproof and breathable, with an adjustable hood and sealed seams, protects against rain and wind in the mountains as well as in the city. For a man who goes out in all weather, a three-in-one jacket combines both: a waterproof shell and a removable warm layer, which can be worn together or separately.

Studs and premium sneakers: according to his passion

For the footballer, a pair of premium studs provides a thinner upper, a better touch on the ball, and a lighter sole; the type of pitch, natural or synthetic grass, determines the shape of the studs. For the style-conscious, premium sneakers made of full-grain leather or suede, with stitched finishes, go well with chinos as well as jeans and age nicely. For the golfer, a golf GPS watch provides the distance to the green without needing to pull out a rangefinder. In all cases, starting from what he already wears limits the risk of error.

Good deals

Good bargains can also be found in the good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, Black Friday.

Frequently asked questions

What nice gift can you give to a man who has everything?

Focus on upgrading what he already uses: a new pair of his favourite shoes, a more comprehensive watch, or a lighter technical jacket. A gift related to his activity is always appreciated, unlike a gadget.

How to know a man's shoe size without asking?

Look at the tag on the tongue or sole of a pair he often wears, noting the brand, as the same size can vary from one manufacturer to another. The length in centimetres, which is indicated on many tags, remains the most reliable measurement.

What size jacket to get for a man?

Take his usual jacket size, not a t-shirt size, and check the size guide to see if the fit is tailored or loose. A winter jacket should be able to close over a thick jumper without pulling at the shoulders or shortening the sleeves.

Is a GPS watch suitable for a beginner runner?

Yes, it helps him to run at the right pace, often too fast at first, and to track his progress week by week. An entry-level model is sufficient: GPS, wrist heart rate monitor, and guided training plans cover the essentials.

Should you buy moulded or screw-in studs?

Moulded studs are suitable for most dry and synthetic pitches, while screw-ins are for wet grass fields in winter. Mixed models combine both; if in doubt, discreetly ask what type of surface his club plays on.
