As the holiday season approaches, I can’t help but feel the excitement. The festive decorations, the aroma of freshly baked treats, and spending time with loved ones all make this time of the year truly magical. But my favorite part of the holidays is finding the perfect gifts.
Most of my family and friends are very active, so getting them high-quality, stylish activewear that they can also lounge in seemed perfect.
Enter Vuori — premium performance apparel inspired by the coastal California lifestyle.
Here’s my ultimate holiday gift guide for anyone on your gifting list:
A gift for anyone who loves to be cozy — my friends Greg and Samantha:
For Greg: I picked up the Ponto Performance Pant ($98); they’re the softest sweatpants ever. Made with their signature DreamKnit™ fabric, they feature a modern straight-leg fit that you can wear anywhere. It’s available in 9 different shades. I also got Greg the matching Ponto Performance Crew ($110). This pullover is made with buttery-soft performance stretch knit that is quick drying and moisture-wicking, and the side zip stash is perfect for holding any essentials. Available in 7 shades that go with the pants.
For Samantha: The Long-Sleeve Halo Crew ($96) is lux to the touch and made from recycled materials. It’s the ideal crew to lounge around or take a quick walk, making it a weekend staple. With 4 different shades, there’s one for everyone. I added the Performance Jogger – Long ($94); they contain a slim but relaxed fit with side pockets and a drawstring, making them extra cozy. Available in 12 shades — you’ll definitely add a few to your collection overtime.
A gift for outdoor lovers — my cousins Josh and Kate:
For Josh: Looking at the Strato Tech Tee ($54) and Kore Short ($68), I knew they would be precisely what Josh would love for his weekly pick-up games. As soon as I felt the Strato Tech Tee material, I knew he would love it, it’s the softest workout tee ever. The performance knit is moisture-wicking and super comfy to even pull off as a daily shirt. Available in 14 shades. The Kore Shorts have a classic athletic fit and fall just above the knee, giving Josh versatility. And their breathable boxer-brief liner makes these the best shorts.
For Kate: The Studio Half Zip ($88) and the Daily Legging ($89) seemed like exactly what she would wear to her weekly pilates class. The 4 Way Stretch Studio Half Zip contains long sleeves and a mock neck; this fitted pullover is a workout essential. Currently, it’s available in 3 shades. This product will change your opinion on leggings. They’re made with Vuori’s BreatheInterlock™ fabric, feature a high waist, a drawstring tie with a no-slip fit, 7/8 length, and cuffed ankles. Available in 7 colors.
A gift for adventure enthusiasts — my brother Ryan and his girlfriend Kelly:
For Ryan: I love my brother to bits, and he loves to explore the world in the most adventurous ways possible.. The Meta Cargo Pant ($138) contains responsive VersaLife™ fabrication, which means they are anti-odor, quick to dry, and packed with premium features, including a few different pockets for Ryan to keep his stuff while on his next escapade. It’s available in 4 colors. I added the Waffle Crew ($84), designed like a classic thermal and made from a stretchy cotton blend that’s breathable yet ultra cozy. Plus, I love the rib details at the neck and cuffs. It’s available in 4 colors. Since it’s my brother, I also added the Steadfast Full Zip Hooded Jacket ($298). This medium-weight jacket is perfect for outdoor adventures, featuring responsibly sourced down-filled channels for extra weather resistance and durable water-repellent fabric that will keep him dry. Currently available in 2 shades (Balsam and Black).
For Kelly: I added the Scout Jogger ($158), I know she will be thrilled. It’s cargo + jogger + outdoor chic — what more could you ask for? Created with durable Schoeller Dynamic® performance woven nylon, they are water repellent, abrasion resistant, and available in 2 shades (Army and Dark Salt). I also picked the Canyon Insulated Jacket ($188) instead of a tee. The jacket features a slouchy fit with wide baffles and is insulated to offer warmth and protection from the elements — so she can use it anywhere, anytime. Currently available in 3 shades.
Apart from these, Vuori has amazing holiday gifts for travel lovers, anyone looking for clothing under $100, or loves their trendy bestsellers.
Final Thoughts:
With unparalleled comfort, quality, and tech. Vuori is the best place to stock up on activewear. I’m so stoked that I found such great gifts for my friends and family this year.
If you’re still looking for the perfect gift for your loved one, Vuori has you covered. Their clothes are worth every penny — you won’t return to any old leggings or shorts ever again. And your family and friends will be thrilled!
