Our editors have tried what feels like every sneaker on the market, and this APL pair is the best of the best.

It comes with the P.ball, P.band, and precision mat, plus access to Pvolve's streaming platform for one month free. If you want to start smaller, you can also buy single pieces of equipment from Pvolve on Amazon — may we recommend their one-of-a-kind P.3 Trainer or Ankle Band?

A Sauna Blanket: Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket

Higher Dose Infrared Sauna Blanket ($594, originally $699)

If you know your recipient loves the feeling and effects of a sauna but can't build one in their home — or know someone who's always cold — this sauna blanket is a brilliant present. You simply preheat the blanket and climb inside for 30 to 45 minutes to work up a sweat and experience complete relaxation. It even has a layer of amethyst and tourmaline crystals, charcoal, and clay inside to make the experience feel truly luxurious. (For the record, even Peloton instructor Tunde Oyeneyin swears by it.)
