StrapIt – the safe Christmas gift for the guy who lifts weights
If you know that he lifts weights, but not much more than that, StrapIt is a good place to start.
StrapIt is short lifting straps (lifting straps) that help with grip during heavy pulling exercises such as rows, deadlifts, RDL, and pulldowns. They are typically used when the hands and forearms get tired before the muscles he is actually trying to train.
StrapIt is our bestseller with more than 50,000 pairs sold. They are easy to use, take up minimal space in the gym bag, and come in several colors and models.
In short: If he trains a lot with weights, there is a good chance they will get used.
HookIt – Christmas gift for the guy who loves cable training
If he spends a lot of time at the cable machine, HookIt can be a good Christmas gift.
HookIt is cuffs that are placed around the wrists or ankles and connected directly to the cable machine. They allow for a wide range of exercises for arms, shoulders, legs, and more, and make it easy to switch between cable exercises.
It is especially a good gift for the guy who already has the classic things in his gym bag and would like more options in training.

Wrist Wraps – gift for the guy who presses heavy
Wrist Wraps (wrist wraps) have a different purpose than StrapIt.
Where StrapIt helps with grip during pulling exercises, Wrist Wraps support the wrists during bench press, shoulder press, and other heavy pressing exercises.
They are therefore ideal for the guy who likes heavy strength training and wants extra support around the wrists when the weights get heavy.
Personalised Christmas gift for him: StrapIt with your own text
If you want to give something more personal than a regular piece of training equipment, you can design a pair of StrapIt with your own text – a name, initials, a nickname, or an inside joke that only makes sense to you.
It is ideal as a Christmas gift for your partner, brother, or gym buddy. Get more ideas for the text in our guide to personalised Christmas gifts for someone who works out.

Bigger Christmas gift: Choose a complete training set
If you are looking for a slightly bigger Christmas gift, you can choose a bundle with multiple products.
A set with StrapIt and HookIt covers both free weights and cable training, while a larger set with StrapIt, HookIt, and Wrist Wraps covers even more.
It is a good solution for the guy who spends many hours at the gym, or if you would rather give one complete gift than several small ones.
What do I give if I have no idea what he uses?
You don't need to know his training program to buy a good training gift.
If you know that he lifts weights, but are completely blank on the rest, choose StrapIt. It is our most popular and one of our most versatile products.
If you don't want to risk choosing the wrong color, model, or product, a gift card is the safe solution. Then he can choose the equipment that suits his training himself.
Frequently asked questions
What are lifting straps?
Lifting straps are straps that are placed around the wrist and around the bar or handle. They relieve the grip, so you can train back and legs heavier without the grip giving out first.
What is the difference between lifting straps and wrist wraps?
Lifting straps help with grip during pulling exercises such as deadlifts and rows. Wrist wraps support the wrist during pressing exercises such as bench press and shoulder press.
What is a good Christmas gift for a man who works out?
If he lifts weights, StrapIt is our safest bet. If you are unsure about what he needs, a gift card is the safest choice.
Can the Christmas gift be exchanged?
Yes. You have a 100-day return policy on our regular products, so the Christmas gift can easily be exchanged after Christmas. Personalised StrapIt cannot be exchanged, however, because they are made specifically for the recipient.
Christmas gifts that actually get used
Training equipment may not be the classic soft package under the tree – but for the right person, it is a gift that will be taken out the door again and again.
At MakeIt, we develop and produce training equipment in Denmark with a focus on function, quality, and equipment that is easy to use in daily training.
So if you are looking for a Christmas gift for the guy who works out – and who would rather have new equipment in his gym bag than another shirt – you have come to the right place.
