This Christmas we have a big, demanding and long wish list. Beside six pack, we also want new weightlifting shoes, “Swole like Santa” t-shirt and more. If you’re still looking for ideas what to buy for your box buddies or simply to yourself, scroll through our collection below.
1. Hot Protein Chocolate
High temperatures are a good reason to relax a bit and have some hot chocolate. Smooth and sweet with a creamy taste, low in carbs and high in protein. And who doesn’t like chocolate? Imagine how good it tastes…
Check out: Hench Nutrition Prime Protein Hot Chocolate
2. Add some coconut chips
To add some texture and Caribbean flavour to your protein hot chocolate. And also to have a fun snack for those December evenings when you stay at home with your friends and watch all part of Home Alone.
Get it here: Coconut chips
3. Are you Ready to run?
If you’re sick of Home Alone being replayed every Christmas, then trade TV for a good book! Kelly Starrett’s Ready to run is the latest must-have read for Crossfitters. Yes, running is part of our training too.

4. Toilet paper holder
We want to have this, and also buy it for all our friends! Make a statement with you bathroom and let your visitors know you lift weights. And your box buddies will be grateful for this precious gift.

5. Swole like Santa tshirt
Here it is. The t-shirt that sums up how we, Crossfitters feel about Christmas. People know our “guns out” Santa is always like “no lift, no gift.”

6. And girls need hair bands
Probably girls won’t like the above mentioned t-shirt that much, but they’ll be pretty happy with a new motivational hair band. You know those annoying ponytails while jumping double-unders?

7. One huge tank of Peanut butter
You can’t miss with this one. And buy it a lot, because Crossfitters go into it with a big spoon and no limits. 1 kg pack from My Protein sounds like fun. And like lots of calories, but hey it’s holidays time!
