12 Days of Pretty Day 4: Do It Yourself Gifts for Your Gym Friends


Welcome back to the “12 Days of Pretty” blog series, brought to you by Pretty Top Team in Cairns! Today, on Day 6, we’re diving into the creative world of DIY fitness gifts. Whether your friends are passionate about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Muay Thai, wrestling, or boxing, these homemade gifts are perfect for showing your appreciation and supporting their training journey. Let's get started!


1. Homemade Protein Bars


Fueling up after a tough workout is crucial, and homemade protein bars are a delicious way to help your gym buddies recover. Make a batch of high-protein bars using natural ingredients like oats, nuts, protein powder, honey, and dried fruit. Wrap them in parchment paper and store them in a decorative tin or box. Not only are these bars healthy, but they also show you care about your friend’s nutrition.


2. Personalized Water Bottle


Staying hydrated is crucial for athletes, especially in the tropical climate of Cairns. Purchase a plain, BPA-free water bottle and personalize it with your friend’s name, favorite quotes, or motivational stickers. You can find waterproof decals online or create your own with a cutting machine. This custom water bottle will be a constant reminder of your support during their training sessions.


3. Training Journal


Keeping track of progress is important for any athlete. Create a training journal with a sturdy notebook and some creative flair. Design the cover with inspirational quotes, images related to BJJ, Muay Thai, wrestling, or boxing, and add personalized touches. Inside, include sections for tracking workouts, goals, nutrition, and reflections. This journal will help your friends stay organized and motivated on their fitness journey.


4. DIY Muscle Rub


Soothe sore muscles with a homemade muscle rub. Combine coconut oil, beeswax, and essential oils like peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender for a natural and effective balm. Pour the mixture into small tins or jars and label them with custom stickers. This muscle rub is perfect for post-training recovery and will show your friends you care about their well-being.


5. DIY Energy Drink Mix


Help your friends stay energized during their workouts with a homemade energy drink mix. Combine ingredients like electrolyte powder, dried fruit powders, and a touch of natural sweeteners like stevia or honey. Package the mix in a decorative jar or container with instructions for mixing with water. This gift is not only delicious but also ensures they stay hydrated and fueled during intense training sessions.


6. Personalized Gym Towel


A gym towel is a must-have for any athlete, especially during sweaty training sessions. Purchase a high-quality, absorbent towel and personalize it with embroidery or fabric paint. Add their name, a motivational phrase, or a design that represents their favorite sport. This practical gift will be used and appreciated every day.
