The essentials in 30 seconds
- Under €15: protein bars, protein spread, a water bottle or a balm: small gifts that always please.
- €15 to €30: a nice shaker, a box of bars, protein pancakes or gym accessories.
- €30 to €60: a big-brand whey or a box of 12 bars, the gift athletes don't always buy themselves.
- Not sure of their taste? The Tonic e-gift card, from €25 to €150, sent by e-mail right after payment, to spend across more than 80 brands.
How to choose a gift for an athlete?
A good sports gift is useful every day and a pleasure to receive. Before choosing, ask yourself three simple questions:
- Which sport do they do? Someone into strength training doesn't need the same things as a runner or a fitness fan.
- Which flavours do they like? Chocolate, vanilla, fruity: if in doubt, go for the classics or a single-serving format.
- Any restrictions? Lactose-free, vegan, gluten-free: each product page lists the ingredients and allergens.
And if you really can't decide, two safe options: an accessory (shaker, bottle, gloves) that everyone uses, or the Tonic e-gift card.
A gift for every type of athlete
Pick the profile that looks like the person you want to spoil: we'll show you what they'll really love.
Strength training
Personal records known by heart, never a skipped session and an opinion on every whey out there.
What they'll love: A reference whey, a pure creatine and solid gloves for heavy sessions.
First steps
A brand-new membership, a thousand questions and the will to get it right from day one.
What they'll love: An easy-to-digest whey isolate, a first shaker and bars with no added sugar for after training.
Running, cycling and trail
Out the door while everyone is still asleep, with outings counted in kilometres, not minutes.
What they'll love: Electrolyte tablets, energy gels for race day and oat bars for long outings.
Fitness
Never a missed group class, and a close eye on what's on the plate.
What they'll love: A light, fruity clear whey, low-sugar bars and an XXL bottle to drink all day.
Sweet tooth
Clean eating, supposedly, yet every protein bar flavour is known by its first name.
What they'll love: Grenade bars, a high-protein spread and protein cookies: indulgence, the athlete's way.
Vegan
Intense training, a 100% plant-based plate and every label read before buying.
What they'll love: A plant protein, vegan oat bars and a box of 12 bars: only products with no animal ingredients and no traces.
Teens
Wednesdays at training, and the fridge emptied the moment they get home.
What they'll love: A collector shaker, oat bars and cookies for an after-school snack. For under-18s, we stick to treats and hydration: no food supplements.
Has everything
They've tried it all, and you really don't know what to give anymore.
What they'll love: The e-gift card, sent by e-mail: they choose from more than 80 brands themselves. Or a premium accessory nobody buys for themselves.

Tonic Food tip: build your own "gift box". A shaker, a whey and a few bars in different flavours: it's the most popular gift in our shops, and it costs less than a ready-made box.
