Rick's Appearance on SportsRadio 92.9 The Game 'With Sam and Greg' 12/24/21 - Last Minute Gift Possibilities

Rick joins Sam and Greg on SportsRadio 92.9 The Game on Christmas Eve for those last minute gift shoppers!

Have a listen:

 

1. For the Runner:

FlipBelt  - running belt

FlipBelt store on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/stores/page/5B6FD95B-6046-4FBB-9BC9-BE4B157EB6B6?store_ref=storeRecs_dp_aplus

How to carry things on the run is a classic problem, but FlipBelt solves it. This unassuming tube of fabric is comfortable and fits snugly to hold any gear without it bouncing off the legs or torso.

2. For tbe Braves Fan:

Available on Amazon

Relive all the Braves regular and post season moments with a newly released DVD or Blue Ray
 

3. For the Angler
Karl's Mystery Tackle Box

https://shopkarls.com/

I'm obsessed with Karl's Mystery Tackle Box, which delivers a handy little box of baits, lures and stickers every month. The service only costs $48.42 for a three-month subscription (right now it's 15% off with the code SAVE15). You can print a gift certificate after you purchase the subscription so he'll have something to unwrap on Christmas morning.
 

4. For the Climber and Hiker
Black Diamond 375 Headlamp  - $40

https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/

Short winter days may inhibit many peoples’ ability to fit an outdoor run in, but this Black Diamond headlamp has more than enough illuminating for heading out pre-dawn or post-work. It is adjustable to fit any head size, and is super lightweight so it won't bounce around as you run.


 
5. For the fan of Casual Shoes:  Men and Women!

Kizik Shoes

www.kizik.com

See what all the fuss is about. Kizik commercials have been running all holiday season.
Shoe style is one of the most popular ways of expressing personality, but we don't think that needs to involve the burden of tying laces or hopping around on one foot after getting through airport security.
Hands-Free Technology is here so the shoe design and technology work together seamlessly. We put our shoes through more than 100,000 compression tests to ensure our shoes live up to our promise, without compromise. Each shoe is made of the highest grade, which ensures the material has great strength, durability, and looks even better over time.
 

6. Babolat Pure Aero Rafa Backpack
A backpack that turns into a racquet bag
$90

 


 
Carry all the equipment you need in the elegant and practical Pure Aero Rafa backpack. The isothermal compartment can hold up to 3 racquets. Not carrying a racquet? The dedicated compartment can be folded away and held in place via magnetic fastening. There’s all the room you need in the other compartments to carry clothes, a laptop, and accessories. This bag is also equipped with our new color-free lining made from 100% recycled PET. Because dye-free is better for the planet.
