Gifts for the athlete in your life

Gifts for the athlete in your life

The runner logging miles before work, the teen with two-a-day practices, the friend who never misses a spin class: they all end the day with sore muscles and a hot shower. A recovery gift fits a routine they already keep, and most of this list is built on magnesium.

Every product here is handmade in small batches in Texas.

For the gym bag

Magnesium Oil Spray
Concentrated magnesium chloride that absorbs fast after a workout. Fragrance-free and non-greasy, so they can spray it on sore calves in the locker room and get on with the day.

Magnesium Balm
A rich balm with magnesium and botanical oils, for targeted use on sore spots and restless legs. Compact enough to pack.

The recovery gift sets

Magnesium Duo

A bath to sink into, a cream for skin and an oil for the spots that ache. A week with all three shows them which one they reach for again.
