Top 10 Christmas Gifts for Fitbit Lovers (2025)
The ultimate gift guide for the Fitbit enthusiast in your life. From app integrations that supercharge their tracker to premium accessories and recovery gear, we've got every price point covered.
You're Buying For a Fitbit Fanatic
You know they love their Fitbit. You've seen them obsessively checking their steps, celebrating when they hit their zone minutes, and maybe even doing a victory lap around the living room at 11:58 PM to hit their daily goal.
But what do you get someone who already has the tracker they love?
The answer isn't another tracker (they're loyal to their Fitbit). It's about enhancing the experience they already enjoy - adding new motivation, protecting their investment, or supporting their fitness journey in ways Fitbit alone can't.
This guide focuses on gifts that either make their Fitbit more fun and motivating, protect and personalize their device, or support the fitness lifestyle their Fitbit represents.
The Top 10 Gifts for Fitbit Lovers
#1: Replacement Fitbit Bands (3-Pack) — ~$15-25
Why it's perfect: Their Fitbit goes everywhere - gym, shower, sleep, work. After months of wear, bands get sweaty, scratched, and faded. A 3-pack of fresh bands in fun colors lets them match their style and swap out for different occasions.
What to look for: Silicone sport bands are most versatile. Get a variety pack with black, bright colors, and maybe a pattern. Make sure you check their specific Fitbit model (Charge 6, Versa 4, Inspire 3, etc.) - bands aren't universal.
The win: Practical, affordable, and immediately noticeable. They'll think of you every time they swap bands.
#2: Motion Hero — Fitbit Supercharges Their Motivation — $77.94 or $129.99
Why it's #2: Their Fitbit tracks the data brilliantly. Motion turns that data into a game they'll actually want to play.
Motion syncs with their Fitbit (and Apple Health, Google Fit, Strava) to create:
- Friend challenges that turn "did you hit your steps?" into actual competitions with leaderboards
- Virtual pets that need walks to stay happy (surprisingly motivating, even for adults)
- Weekly goals that adapt to their real patterns (not just generic 10,000 steps)
- Streak tracking that makes consistency visible and rewarding
It's the social accountability and gamification layer Fitbit Premium doesn't offer. While Fitbit gives you insights, Motion gives you reasons to care about those insights.
Best for: Anyone who loves their Fitbit data but wishes it was more... fun. Or people who've lost motivation and need a fresh reason to move.

#3: Wireless Charging Stand for Fitbit — ~$15-30
Why it's perfect: Nobody likes fumbling with that tiny charging cable. A charging stand keeps their Fitbit visible on their nightstand, charges it while they sleep, and ensures they never forget to charge it again.
Look for: Stands compatible with their specific model. Some double as alarm clocks or have multiple device charging spots. Bonus points if it looks nice enough for their nightstand.
#4: Fitbit Cleaning Kit — ~$12-18
Why it matters: Fitness trackers get gross. Sweat, dead skin, soap residue - it builds up under the band and around the sensors. A proper cleaning kit (not just "wipe it with your shirt") keeps their tracker hygienic and working properly.
What's included: Usually cleaning solution, microfiber cloths, and soft brushes designed for electronics. Takes 2 minutes to use, extends the life of their $100+ device.
#5: SPIbelt or FlipBelt Running Belt — ~$25-35
Why it's perfect: If they walk or run with their Fitbit, they need somewhere secure for their phone (music, emergency contact, keys). These bounce-free belts sit flat and hold everything without the annoying arm band bounce.
SPIbelt vs FlipBelt: SPIbelt has a pouch with zipper (great for keys/cards). FlipBelt is a stretchy tube you tuck things into (holds phones better, more comfortable). Both work brilliantly.
#6: Compression Socks for Recovery — ~$20-40
Why runners love them: After long walks or runs, compression socks reduce muscle soreness and speed recovery. Many Fitbit lovers are hitting 15k+ steps daily - their calves will thank you.
Look for: Graduated compression (15-20 mmHg is good for daily use). Fun patterns make them feel less medical. Brands like Sockwell, CEP, or Physix Gear are solid.
#7: Foam Roller or Massage Gun — ~$30-150
Foam roller ($30-50): Low-tech, lasts forever, perfect for tight muscles after hitting step goals. TriggerPoint and LuxFit make good ones.
Massage gun ($80-150): More fun, more effective, makes you feel like a pro athlete. Theragun and Hypervolt are the premium options, but Amazon brands work fine for casual users.
Why it matters: Active Fitbit users are accumulating fatigue. Recovery tools help them stay consistent.
#8: Fitness Journal for Tracking Goals — ~$18-28
Why it's a surprise hit: Digital tracking is great, but physical journaling adds reflection. Journals like "Fitlosophy Fitbook" or "Workout Log Book" let them track non-Fitbit things (strength training, how they felt, nutrition) alongside their step data.
Best for: The planners and goal-setters. People who love the ritual of tracking, not just the data.
#9: High-Visibility Running Vest or Lights — ~$20-35
Why it's thoughtful: Winter means dark morning walks and evening runs. If they're getting their Fitbit steps in before sunrise or after sunset, visibility gear keeps them safe.
Look for: Lightweight LED vests (Noxgear Tracer360 is excellent) or clip-on lights. Bonus: reflective gear with pockets for phone/keys.
#10: Insulated Water Bottle with Time Markers — ~$25-40
Why it's perfect: Fitbit users tend to be health-conscious overall. A motivational water bottle with hourly markers (HydroJug, Owala, Stanley with time markings) pairs perfectly with fitness goals - hydration reminders naturally prompt movement breaks.
Look for: Insulated bottles that keep water cold all day. Time markers help track intake. Some have motivational phrases printed on them. Bonus if it fits in their car cup holder.
The win: Complements their Fitbit habit. Active people need proper hydration, and the time markers create natural check-in moments throughout the day.
Why Motion Hero Deserves Special Attention
Look, they already love their Fitbit. They check it constantly, they celebrate their milestones, they're tracking everything.
But here's the thing: Fitbit is a solo experience. Motion turns it into a social game.
1. Friend Challenges That Actually Matter
Their Fitbit can do step challenges, but they're clunky and most people forget about them. Motion makes challenges the main event - weekly competitions, live leaderboards, trash talk threads. Suddenly their 12,000 steps matter because they're 1,500 ahead of their brother-in-law.
2. Virtual Pets That Need Walks
This sounds silly until you try it. Their digital pet needs activity to stay happy. Missing a day makes their pet sad. It's surprisingly effective motivation (even grown adults admit it works).
3. Adaptive Goals, Not Generic 10k
Fitbit sets the same goal for everyone. Motion looks at their actual patterns - busy Tuesdays, active Saturdays, rest days - and creates goals that challenge them without burning them out.
4. Works With What They Have
They keep their Fitbit. Motion just syncs with it (plus Apple Health, Google Fit, Strava). No new hardware, no switching ecosystems.
Who It's For
- Fitbit users who've lost motivation and need a fresh reason to move
- Competitive people who thrive on challenges and leaderboards
- Anyone who says "I should walk more" but struggles with consistency
- People who work from home and need structured movement accountability

Price: $77.94 (6 months) or $129.99 (12 months, better value)
Frequently asked questions
If you have anything else you want to ask, reach out to us.
What's the best gift for someone who already has a Fitbit?
Focus on enhancing their experience rather than replacing their device. The best gifts either add motivation (like Motion Hero for social challenges and gamification), protect their investment (replacement bands, cleaning kits, charging stands), or support their fitness lifestyle (recovery gear, running accessories). Fitbit users are loyal to their trackers - they want tools that work with their Fitbit, not instead of it.
Should I get them Fitbit Premium or Motion Hero?
Fitbit Premium is best for data nerds who love insights, guided workouts, and detailed health metrics. It's very analytical and solo-focused. Motion Hero is best for people who need social motivation, thrive on competition, or have lost their fitness mojo. Motion turns exercise into a game with friends. If they're already self-motivated and just want deeper analytics, Premium wins. If they need accountability and fun to stay consistent, Motion wins. Many people actually use both - Fitbit for insights, Motion for motivation.
Can I give a digital gift for Christmas morning?
Absolutely! Motion Hero gift codes are delivered via email instantly (or you can schedule delivery for Christmas morning). You can print the email or create a simple card that says "You've been gifted Motion Hero!" with the redemption link. Many people pair it with a small physical gift (like Fitbit bands) so there's something tangible to unwrap. Digital gifts are perfect for last-minute shopping or long-distance gifting - no shipping stress, no wrong size, instant delivery.
Do Fitbit bands fit all models?
No - this is critical! Fitbit bands are model-specific. A Charge 6 band won't fit a Versa 4. Before buying, check their exact model (they might have it written on the back of their tracker, or check the Fitbit app on their phone). When shopping on Amazon or in stores, make sure the listing specifically mentions their model. The small/large sizing matters too - most people use the standard size, but if they have very thin or thick wrists, double-check.
What if they lose motivation with their Fitbit?
This is super common - the novelty of tracking wears off after a few months. The fix isn't usually a new tracker or more features, it's adding social accountability. Motion Hero is specifically designed for this - friend challenges, live leaderboards, and virtual pets turn their Fitbit data into a game they play with others. Many users say Motion brought back the excitement they felt when they first got their Fitbit. The other option: find them a walking buddy or running group. Fitbit is great at tracking, but humans need humans to stay motivated.
Are these gifts suitable for someone new to fitness tracking?
Most of these gifts assume they already have and love their Fitbit. If they're brand new to fitness tracking, start with the tracker itself first. But if they've had their Fitbit for 2+ months and are actually using it regularly, these gifts are perfect "level up" additions. The exception: Motion Hero actually works great for beginners with their Fitbit because it provides the accountability and structure new exercisers need most.
