Since buying a pair of running shoes isn't realistic, and the cost of a couple pair a year is high, how bout a gift card to a favorite running store?

How about a running book? You have the obvious choices like Once a Runner, Again to Carthage, Running with the Buffaloes, but some lesser known quality reads are the Purple Runner and Chasing Ghosts.
You could give them a membership to a local running club. I did this for my wife and it really improved her training and social component of running.
I paid the membership online and asked to pick up the team shirt to wrap up as a gift.
massage sticks (the kind for sore muscles you find at a running store), gps watches, gift certificate to a running store, box of clifbars, copy of Once a Runner for a hs or college runner. Thats about all I can think of. Running only requires shoes and clothes.
