The person on your list isn't a soccer fan? Fair enough. How about:

Wall Calendar

Hit two birds with one stone - support female athletes and get a great gift for someone on your list at the same time. These calendars feature female athletes and benefit their athletic careers. Check them out!

• Great Britain Women's Sporting Calendar 2012 - This calendar highlights the outstanding role models there are amongst Britain's leading sportswomen.  All profits will go to women's sports charities - principally UsGirls, which is developing sport for young women in disadvantaged communities across the country.
• Power & Grace - U.S. Women's Rowing Team 2012 Calendar - The Power & Grace Calendar is the official fundraiser of the US National Women’s Rowing Team, and entirely athlete-managed. 100% of the calendar proceeds will be donated to the US National Women’s Rowing Team to help cover daily training expenses.
• Ultimate Female Fighter/TUFF for Life 2012 Calendar - "Tuff for Life" is dedicated to serving female ring-based fighters (MMA, Muay Thai, Boxing, Kickboxing, BJJ and Wrestling) who are in need of emergency medical care, emergency travel expenses, or to cover the cost of fight gear, training/gym services, tournament fees and/or fight-related travel expenses and more.

If you're not ready to commit to a specific sport - here's a more general calendar that celebrates female athletes across many sports.

• Pretty Tough 2012 Wall Calendar Make every day count with this awesome full-color wall calendar featuring an array of female athletes kickin' butt. A great gift for girls who are beautifully fearless.
  

SHEEX®

Founded by former USC head basketball coach Susan Walvins and standout Lady Vol and WNBA star Michelle Marciniak (who was Walvins' assistant coach 2003-2008), SHEEX were inspired by the finest professional-quality athletic fabrics. The luxurious bedding offers temperature and moisture control, durability and unrivaled comfort.

From sheets and duvet covers to travel pillows and blankets and even baby bedding, SHEEX offers quality products that would be a welcome surprise for anyone on your list.

Shop SHEEX here or in Bed Bath & Beyond stores.

Believe I Am

Founded by pro runners Lauren Fleshman (USA) and Roisin McGettigan (IRL), Believe I Am offers one-of-a-kind products that would make perfect gifts for the ladies on your list. The designs are created from scratch and include hidden words that serve as cues to keep your mind healthy and positive. Fleshman and McGettigan got the idea for Believe I Am after discussing how they were able to come back from disappointing setbacks such as injuries or sub-par performances.

We highly recommend their training journal, which looks like your best friend made it exclusively for you. Check it out HERE or watch the video explanation below (and get a good laugh too!)

You can show all of their Words HERE.

Yurbuds

Finally, someone has figured out how to make earphones for working out - an Ironman triathlete and 24-time marathoner. You can head bang with Yurbuds in, and they won't fall out. Made with medical grade silicone, they are designed to avoid nerve-rich areas of the ear, allowing you to wear them for hours without discomfort. They are sweat- and water-resistant too.

Shop online HERE or in Dick's Sporting Goods stores.

Title Nine

Just read the About Us section of Title Nine's site and you'll fall in love. It starts with "We are evangelical about women's participation in sports and fitness activites" and ends with "WE LIKE DESSERT." Their models are "ordinary women capable of extraordinary things. Like many of you."

Title Nine offers stylish and functional gear the women on your list will drool over. From yoga, running, adventure, swimming and cycling apparel (shop by activity HERE) to shoes, sunglasses, water bottles, bags and jewelry, you can't go wrong - there's even a  Maternity Fitness line.

Shop online HERE or find a store near you.
