[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would like to gift my husband who runs (I don’t) some new clothes for running. Pants (joggers?) and a long sleeve shirt or jacket maybe. What brands are good?[/quote]

All good advice from previous posters.

Here are a few more things to consider:
 - Is your DH a running fanatic (runs rain or shine) or just a casual runner?  This will influence what kind of stuff he will want.  For example, if he's not a serious runner, he's probably not going to want a runner's watch or a runner's belt.
 - How long does he run?  If he's a long distance runner (10 miles or more at a time), he's probably going to want different things than someone who is out there for 30 mins at a time.
 - What type of guy is he?  Does he care about looking good when he's running or is he a "function over fashion" type (most dudes I know)
 - Is he consistent with his clothes?  Like another said, she wears the same 3 running shirts and won't change.  If so, get a different color of the same type of brand
 - What effect are you going for?  Something thoughtful or just a gift of encouragement?  If you want the gift that makes him eternally grateful, you have to know what his preferences are.  When people say that runners are picky, it's not that they are picky, they know what works for them and they want to stick with that.  There is nothing worse than trying something new and at mile 15 of a run and start bleeding because of a new sock (blister) or a new shirt (nipple burn).  If you just want to encourage his habit, then a gift card would be a great gift.

Anyways, hope these questions and all the previous responses help you with a great gift for your DH.  You are a sweet DW to consider something thoughtful for your DH.  Also, a nice evening massage after a run, when the kids are down for the night, and something extra afterwards is a gift that he will always remember.  Just sayin.  [/quote]
