Do you have a Mudder who’s been known to go head-first through Kiss of Mud with a go-pro strapped to their heads? This gift list is for them. These gifts may be on the pricey side, but can you really put a price on the face of a Mudder opening a gift that let’s ‘em know you just get ‘em? Rhetorical question.

3. Echo Dot
OCR are the best sport, but this hockey-puck shaped device is your new virtual assistant. Alexa, how many days until my next Tough Mudder? Alexa, how do I download the Tough Mudder training guide?

Add some tech-fashion to your techies ears, they’ll thank you.
5. Anker USB Port
Between heart rate monitors, iPhones, USB flash drives, and all the other chargers you know your techie has, plug-in space is in high demand.

Basically, your pal will never have an excuse to be less than fully charged again.
