Some truly unique gift ideas for the fitness junkie

As Christmas gets closer and closer every day, for some of us procrastinators the stress of Christmas gift shopping is getting greater and greater. But if you've got a fitness-lover on your shopping list this year you may find your answer in this list of unique items and gizmos. Depending on just how "gizmo" you want to go, there is everything on the list from workout DVDs to a massage tool nicknamed "The Stick." Or maybe a "buddy-system" fitness plan that's designed like a game, where competition helps motivate and the winner gets rewarded. There's also a wristwatch alarm that can sense your body's rhythms and wake you up at the most opportune moment in the morning, or a sports bra that has a heart-rate monitor built right in. Or, if all that is a bit too unique, maybe some cool upgraded headphones for your loved one's iPod/MP3 player would be a better fit.

Everybody loves to get thoughtful and unique gifts, and this list is certainly full of those! It's just up to you to decide if they fit anyone on your list or not.
