14 Gift Ideas For People Who Walk To Work

If your loved one is lucky enough to be able to walk to work, how about getting them a little gift they can use on the journey.

Living close enough to your workplace so that you can walk to and from work each day is a real privilege.

As by doing so you can avoid all the headaches that regular commuters have to deal with such as rush hour traffic jams, delays, cancellations, and packed trains and buses.

And it's also a great way of keeping fit and saving a packet on the travel fares too.

So if you have a loved one that walks to work, congratulate them on their good fortune.

And if you're feeling extra generous you could also buy them a gift that they can use on their walking commute too.

As the following gift ideas for people who walk to work are all ones that they would appreciate and find helpful.

1. A Sunrise Alarm Clock To Wake Them Up Naturally

Our first gift idea for walking commuters is to get them a sunrise alarm clock.

Because while this isn't something they'll use on their walk in to work, it will get them out of bed in a brighter mood.

As these alarms wake you up gently using a gradual increase of the light that has a similar effect to the sun rising in the morning.

Which is especially good if they have to get out of bed while it's still dark outside.

And for a good one check out the Philips sunrise alarm clock.

2. A Comfortable And Supportive Pair Of Walking Shoes

Many people who walk to work choose to do so in a pair of sneakers and change into their work shoes once they arrive.

And this is a great idea, as the comfort and support they get from a good pair of walking shoes is much better for their feet and body than walking in a pair of formal business shoes.

So getting them a comfortable and supportive pair made for running and walking such as the Asics Gel Nimbus 23 shoes is a top gift idea for them.

And will help to keep their feet happy and aches and pains to a minimum.

3. A Pair Of Blister Proof Socks

The last thing you want when walking in to work is to develop painful and debilitating blisters on your feet from wearing the wrong socks or shoes.

So the gift of a few pairs of blister resistant socks that are made for walkers and runners is a really useful one.

With one good example that you could go for being the Balega blister resistant socks above.

4. A Rain Jacket To Keep Them Dry

When you're walking into work it's always handy to have a lightweight rain jacket with you in case you get caught in a downpour.

So getting them a new one such as the Marmot Precip rain jacket is a gift idea that'll go down well with them.

As this jacket one does a great job of keeping you dry and can be folded away in their work bag or backpack.

5. An Umbrella Set For Bad Weather Emergencies

As well as having a lightweight rain jacket in your bag on your commute in case of getting caught in the rain, it's also a good idea to pack a small umbrella in there too.

However, commuters are forever losing or breaking their umbrellas and having to replace them.

So a super useful stocking stuffer gift idea for anyone that walks to work is get them this travel umbrella two-pack.

As this way they'll have a couple spare the next time they lose one.

6. An Insulated Tumbler For Their Morning Coffee

Many of us like to have a strong cup of coffee to start the day and wake us up before work.

And you could help someone who commutes to work on foot to satisfy their coffee craving on the go by getting them the YETI Rambler 12oz tumbler.

As this is a secure and insulated coffee tumbler that will keep their drink warm for the entire journey.

Meaning they can have a few sips on the way and arrive at work ready to go.

7. A Water Bottle So They Can Quench Their Thirst

Walking to work during the hot summer months can cause you to become dehydrated if you're not careful.

So the gift idea of a reusable water bottle is a good one.

As something like the Hydro Flask water bottle will easily fit in their work bag and keep their water or soft drink cold and fresh for hours at time.

Meaning they'll always have a cool drink to hand when they need one.

8. A Lunch Box For Fresh And Healthy Food

Many workers choose to just grab whatever food they can on the go during the work day.

However, doing so might not only be bad for their health, it can also cost them a pretty penny over time.

So gifting someone who walks to work a good quality lunch box to take with them is a really nice idea.

As the Black + Blum sandwich box will allow them to snack on healthy and fresh home made food throughout the day rather than making any poor choices.

9. A Work Backpack That Deters Thieves

Every commuter will need a work bag or backpack to carry all their things in on their way to work.

So these work well as gift ideas, with an especially good choice being the Pacsafe Metrosafe anti-theft backpack.

As not only does this have all the padded compartments and space they need to store their things securely and keep everything organized.

It also has anti-theft features on the zips and wire meshing to avoid bag slashing, so they can have peace of mind that their valuables will be safer.

10. A Messenger Bag For Those That Prefer Them

While backpacks are really popular among commuters, some still prefer messenger style work bags.

So if you have a loved one that fits this category, why not get them a Bellroy Tokyo work bag instead.

As these bags are super high quality, look the part, and have all the compartments and pockets they need for their work things.

11. A Pair AirPods For More Entertaining Walks

Listening to your favourite music, audiobooks or podcasts on the walk in to work is a great way of making the journey more enjoyable.

So gifting a commuter a pair of wireless earphones is a gift you can be sure will be used on a daily basis.

And if you want to treat them and go for the top dog here, then look no further than a pair of Apple AirPods Pro.

12. A Fitbit To Track Their Performance

If you're going to walk in to work every day, it'd be a shame not to keep track of your journey.

As the gift of a fitness tracker such as the Fitbit Inspire 3 will allow a commuter to track the distances they're covering, the amount of steps and time taken, as well as health statistics such as heart rate and calories burnt.

Which can be great inspiration and motivation to walk in on days when they really don't feel like it.

13. A Personal Safety Alarm To Keep Her Feeling Safe

Walking to and from work alone can be a potential danger for women, especially when doing so on empty streets during dark mornings and late evenings.

So a top gift idea for a female commuter who works shifts and walks in to work during antisocial and quiet hours is to get them a personal safety alarm.

As something like the She's Birdie personal safety alarm will clip onto their keychain and can be used to give out a warning siren if they feel threatened.

14. A Heated Foot Spa For Their Hard Working Feet

Pounding the pavements and putting in the miles each day can take a toll on your feet especially.

So how about giving someone who walks to work the gift of a heated foot spa.

As having the Wahl therapeutic foot spa at home will give them the chance to relax their feet in the warm water and massaging jets after work.

Which is great for unwinding and giving their feet a break before the following morning's walk.

Rounding Up

Being able to walk in to work feels like a bit of a luxury to most of us.

However, that's not to say it's always easy, as a walking commuter still has to face adverse weather conditions and may develop aches and pains in their feet and legs.

So getting them a little gift that can make their journey easier and more enjoyable is a nice idea.

With each of the gift ideas for people who walk to work that I've given you here being ones that they will find a good use for.
