Thoughtful treats to inspire, rejuvenate, and support their training.
If you're shopping for a pole or aerial enthusiast this holiday season, you know the best gifts are ones that help them feel supported both in their practice and in their self-care. This mindful gift guide focuses on ideas that encourage rest, recovery, and a bit of luxury to keep them feeling great—mind, body, and spirit.
1. Mindful Practice Journal
Keeping track of progress is a huge part of any pole or aerial journey, and a journal designed specifically for that purpose can be a game-changer. Our Mindfulness in Motion journal lets them log routines, track classes, set goals, and reflect on their achievements. It’s like having a personal coach cheering them on through the ups and downs, helping them focus on their own progress.
2. Personalised Pole or Aerial Gear Bag
A personalised bag is both practical and thoughtful—a place for all the essentials! Look for one with handy compartments for grip aids, training journals, heels and snacks. Adding their name or initials makes it even more special, and it's a gift they’ll reach for every time they head to the studio.
3. Self-Care Kit
Pole and aerial training can take a toll on the body, so a self-care kit tailored to soothe tired muscles is always a winner. Look for a mix of Epsom salts, muscle balm, hand and grip salve, and maybe a nice essential oil blend for relaxing post-training baths. Add some herbal tea bags with inflammation busting or calming ingredients, and it’s a ready-made recovery kit!
4. Online Class Subscription
Many pole and aerialists love learning new techniques or exploring fresh moves to keep their routines exciting. An online class subscription offers a fun way to explore new styles or learn skills from renowned instructors around the world. It’s also a way to connect to the community, even from home.
5. Grounding Mat
For pole and aerial artists who love nature and grounding, consider a grounding mat or a pair of barefoot shoes. Grounding mats simulate the recovery benefits of connecting to the earth and are perfect for winter months when it’s harder to get outside.
6. Massage Gun or Trigger Point Ball
Training can be tough on the body, so a massage gun or trigger point ball makes a perfect gift for sore muscles. These tools provide deep-tissue relief, which speeds up recovery and reduces soreness. It’s like gifting them their own personal masseuse that they can turn to any time they need some TLC after an intense session!
7. A Beautifully Crafted Water Bottle
Staying hydrated is crucial, so a high-quality water bottle that keeps drinks at the perfect temperature is a thoughtful addition. You can find ones with motivational phrases or sleek designs that fit into most cup holders and look great in the studio.
8. Meditation App Subscription
Mindfulness and mental calmness are essential to any pole and aerial practice, especially with the mental challenges these activities bring. A subscription to a meditation app with guided sessions, daily reminders, and breathing exercises can be a lovely way to encourage balance, calm, and mental clarity.
9. Gift Card for Massage or Physio Sessions
If you're looking for something extra indulgent, a gift card for a professional massage or physiotherapy session is an incredible treat for pole and aerial athletes. Whether it’s for unwinding tight muscles or addressing any persistent aches, this is a present that says, "I care about your recovery and well-being."
10. Custom Pole & Aerial Artwork or Wall Print
A unique piece of pole or aerial artwork is a beautiful way to inspire their space. Whether it's a motivational quote or a print of their own personal photoshoot, these pieces can brighten up their environment and keep them inspired, even on rest days. Art can be a constant reminder of their journey and the joy they find in the air or on the pole.
Making it Personal
When it comes to gifts for pole and aerial lovers, small thoughtful touches go a long way. Choose items that reflect their interests and personality, or even consider writing a note with words of encouragement.
With these gifts, you’re not just supporting their physical practice; you’re also reminding them to take time to rest, recover, and stay inspired. After all, the holidays are about giving a little extra love, and these mindful gifts are sure to make any pole or aerial lover feel appreciated. 🎁
Stay mindful and keep elevating your journey.
