PrAna Yoga Clothes: So slimming, so stylish, so downright comfy that you'll think you've achieved nirvana before you even utter your first "ohm." $55, www.prana.com.
Trek Ion 3 bike light: Stay out on the road longer in the wintertime and make your evening commute safer with ultra-bright LEDs. $24.99, available at Joe's Bike Shop, www.mtwashingtonbikes.com.
Under Armour Proto Speed Trainer II: Everything is more fun in a new pair of shoes—especially silver and pink ones.

Vibram FiveFingers: Recent research suggests that those high-tech running shoes we've been doling out big bucks for might actually do more harm than good. Go au naturel with these funny-looking "barefoot" running socks with toes. $75 to $90 at CitySports, www.citysports.com.
