Get Your Stocking Stuffed with Brooks! (CONTEST INSIDE)

Get Your Stocking Stuffed with Brooks!

By: Toni Carey (@toni_carey/@blackgirlsrun)

Christmas is just three weeks away and I have purchased nothing......NOTHING. And while I want to give the gift of running to my running/walking family, I'm not trying to break the bank. You know what I mean??? But where there's a will there's a way, and this season Brooks is helping to get those special stockings stuffed with a few winter running essentials! These gloves are simply GENIUS!!! Not only do they transform from mitts into 5-fingered gloves, they also have a clasp that keep leftie and rightie paired together while they aren't in use. Hallelujah! But it get's better. There's a detachable LED light on the right hand.  Trust me, it comes in handy when Rover stops for a potty break during your pre-dawn run.   I don't get to wear beanies often, but since I straighten my hair during the winter months, I rock hats (and high ponytails) like it's nobody's business. I particularly love slouchy beanies because they are much easier to dress up than regular ones. The PureProject beanie is super soft and WARM. I wore it yesterday morning during my run and didn't want to take it off for the rest of the day.   This is definitely my second favorite item on the list. Whether you want to rock it as a scarf, hood, or skirt, the PureProject warmer has you covered, figuratively and literally.   Last, but not least, it's always a good time for arm warmers and they are more popular than ever. Think outside of just wearing them with a tank. Wear them under your favorite long sleeve tee for extra warmth when you don't want to commit to wearing a jacket. So, for the sake of trying to get into the Christmas spirit, we're gifting each of these items to one lucky lady! Tell us YOUR favorite way to stuff the stocking! Just complete the form below. Contest ends Tuesday, December, 9 at 11:59 pm EST. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, Dec. 10!
