Fall may have only just officially arrived, but everyone knows it’s a short-lived season. Autumn weeks are filled with apple picking, snacking on pumpkin-flavored baked goods, and prepping for Halloween speed by — and the holidays always make an appearance sooner than expected. To ensure you don’t end up panicking and buying less-than-perfect last-minute presents for the loved ones in your life, we suggest getting a headstart on holiday shopping. No, you don’t have to spend hours scouring the internet or your closest department store; instead, you can scroll through lululemon’s under-the-radar gift collection .

The activewear brand curated a selection of accessories that are equally useful and stylish — aka the perfect presents. There’s a claw clip your friend will use after every spin class, a yoga mat to replace the one your mom has had for years, and a running belt your sister doesn’t realize she desperately needs. To help make the entire process even easier, we compiled a few of our picks from the gift collection — plus some other must-haves — below. Scroll on to shop 11 of our favorites, and check out all of lululemon’s gift ideas here .

Criss-Cross Claw Clip, $14 at lululemon

You can never have too many claw clips, especially if they’re as cute and functional as the small Criss-Cross Claw Clip. Available in a variety of colors and patterns (including a chic tortoiseshell and a lovely light blue), the clip is a favorite among past shoppers, many of whom confirm it can “hold onto a good amount of hair” and “doesn’t cause tension headache.” Plus, it rings it at just $14, so you can always grab one as a gift and one as a treat to yourself.

Everywhere Belt Bag 1L, $38 at lululemon

No matter the person you’re shopping for, one thing is certain: They’re going to get good use out of the Everywhere Belt Bag. Deemed “perfect” by more than a handful of shoppers, the on-the-go accessory is ideal for long walks, grocery store runs, and exploring new cities. The exterior zippered pocket, which faces inward, was designed for keeping your valuables (wallet, passport, etc.) secure, and the larger interior pockets hold everything else — phone, keys, and maybe a small camera. The strap is also adjustable, meaning the bag can be worn as a crossbody, shoulder bag, or across the waist.

Unisex Classic Ball Cap, $38 at lululemon

A simple baseball hat is a staple in the wardrobe of someone who basically lives in athleisure. Not only does it keep the sun off their face while they’re running a 5K, but it also pulls together any workout look — and hides the fact that their hair is ready for wash day. If that statement reminds you of someone you know, then it may be a good idea to snag them the Unisex Classic Ball Cap, which comes in four colorways: black, oil grey, bone, and rover (a light khaki tone). It’s made of a soft, breathable cotton twill fabric, and the design features a moisture-wicking interior mesh fabric sweatband.

Back To Life Sport Bottle 24oz, $44 at lululemon

Some people are harder to shop for than others. Maybe they don’t technically need anything, or maybe their tastes and preferences are just very specific. In either case, the Back To Life Sport Bottle is the answer to this gifting conundrum. While $44 may initially seem like a lot for a water bottle, the features are totally worth it. There’s a leak-proof lid, vacuum insulation to keep the drink cold, and a double-wall design to ensure the bottle doesn’t sweat. It’s also designed to fit into most cup holders (which is, unfortunately, far less common than you’d think).

The Mat 5mm Made With FSC™ Certified Rubber, $98 at lululemon

Most exercise mats should be replaced every one to two years, depending on how often they’re used. If you’d bet your next paycheck that it’s been far longer than that since your yoga-loving mom purchased her current mat, you’ve officially found her present this year. This mat from lululemon goes above and beyond the ones you’ll find at the gym, too. It’s made of a sustainably sourced natural rubber that adds cushioning and a textured grip, and it has an antimicrobial additive that aids in preventing mold and mildew. And the best part? It’s reversible. Opt for either the smoother side or the cushioned side, depending on the exercises.

Scuba Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie, $128 at lululemon

Buying clothes for your friends or family can be challenging, especially if you don’t know their exact sizes. If that’s the case, but you still want to get them something cozy, go for a piece like the Scuba Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie. It comes in just three sizes (XS/S, M/L, and XL/XXL), and the roomy fit is extra forgiving. In true lululemon fashion, this style was designed for both comfort and function.

Fast and Free Running Belt, $38 at lululemon

A running belt is a non-negotiable in the lives of those who live for a daily post-run high. For some reason, however, your sister has yet to add one to her exercise lineup. It’s time to change that. The running accessory has a stretchy, zippered pocket for her phone, side pockets for her keys and lip balm, and an adjustable waistband with a buckle closure. The reflective details also add an element of safety, and the belt receives high praise from the running community. According to several owners, it’s “so light and easy to forget you're wearing it,” and it “doesn’t budge when running.”

Women's Cityverse Sneaker, $138 at lululemon

Described as “comfy, stylish, and super, super cute” by one shopper, the Women’s Cityverse Sneaker checks all of the boxes. The true-to-size style features a mixed material upper, two different lace options, lots of contouring cushioning, and a rubber outsole that’s great for traction. The colorways are where this style really shines, though. The white, jade whisper, and raw linen shades are incredibly versatile and ensure the shoe can be worn with most outfits — from yoga pants and a sweatshirt to jeans and a sweater.

Water Bottle Crossbody with Front Pocket 2L, $38 at lululemon

Do you have a hiker in your life? And one you need to find a present for? You can check their gift off your to-do list when you pick up lululemon’s Water Bottle Crossbody. No one likes carrying their water bottle in their hand, especially if they’re hiking for several miles at a time, so this small bag is the secret to staying both hands-free and hydrated. The bottle goes into the cinch-able opening; a phone, keys, and a wallet can be placed into the zippered front pocket; and the strap can be adjusted as necessary.

Dance Studio Mid-Rise Jogger Full Length, $98 at lululemon

The holiday season (and really all winter long) is the season for everything cozy. The Dance Studio Mid-Rise Jogger, which comes in 13 different colorways, certainly falls into that category. While your friend will be delighted to receive a pair of these during the holidays, you can also consider buying them as a present for yourself. After all, you’ll probably end up wearing these stretchy pants multiple times a week. They’re super lightweight and comfortable, and the sweat-wicking waistband, drawcord, and Lycra® fiber keep them looking fresh and well-fitted. If you aren’t quite convinced you need these in your closet, consider the pockets, which have a hidden zipper pocket and card sleeve.

Hold Tight Long-Sleeve Shirt, $68 at lululemon

When it comes to gift giving, wardrobe basics, like the Hold Tight Long-Sleeve Shirt, are always a safe bet. This particular style is a true everyday piece. It can be thrown on for work, brunch, shopping, or even a brisk walk. One shopper noted it’s the “most comfortable top” they’ve ever owned, and another said it can be worn as either a “perfect base layer or on its own.” While all of the colorways are amazing, we’re especially drawn to the blue willow and the espresso; the latter, after all, is currently trending as the color of the season.
