The Rêve List: Your Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide

Looking for the perfect Rêve-inspired gifts to make this holiday season a great one? We have you covered!

As we wrap up a year of many milestones and achievements at Rêve, our team curated a special Holiday Gift Guide featuring not just our favorite workout essentials, but all of our favorite local spots! At Rêve, we love supporting our community, and we believe that a balanced lifestyle is just as important as the effort you put in at the studio on the bike or mat.

Whether you’re shopping for a seasoned Rêver, a friend eager to explore the city, or just looking to treat yourself, this handpicked list from our team is guaranteed to be a winner!

Shopping: The Perfect Finds

There is no better feeling than finding a unique, thoughtful gift, and our town is full of incredible spots to do just that! These are the places we hit up when we’re looking for something special.

• Back Cove Books

• The Rêve Pick: For the reader in your life, or maybe just someone who needs to disconnect, Back Cove Books is the coziest neighborhood bookstore. Tucked into a historic building in Woodfords Corner right down the road, it’s packed with charming corners, a repurposed bank-vault book nook, and shelves curated with great books. Their staff picks are spot-on, and the shop always has a welcoming, community-driven vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. 

• Gift Idea: A gorgeous hardback and a cozy blanket for a perfect night in.

Activity: Making New Memories

For the person who loves experiences over things, this local spot offers a fun day out.

• Portland Pottery

• The Rêve Pick: A spin class gets the legs moving, but a session at Portland Pottery gets the creative muscles working! Whether you try wheel-throwing or hand-building with clay, their classes offer a fun, low-impact way to spend an afternoon — and a great way to meet new people while making something beautiful with your own hands.

• Gift Idea: Pre-pay for a pottery class at Portland Pottery — maybe a couples night or friends outing — for a memorable, shared experience. It’s a gift that goes beyond stuff: a handmade keepsake, some laughs, and a shared story.

Food: Fueling Up, Locally

Fuel is everything—both before and after class! We’re all about supporting the local restaurants that keep us happy and healthy.

• LB Kitchen

• The Rêve Pick: When we need a quick, delicious, and healthy lunch, nothing beats the fresh salads, bowls, and sandwiches from LB Kitchen. Their vibrant, feel-good menu keeps us fueled — and yes, their legendary chocolate chip cookies (featured in the New York Times) are a staff obsession. Plus, their merch lineup is amazing: think cozy tees, fun grab-and-go pantry items, and unique little goods you won’t find anywhere else.

• Gift Idea: A gift card to LB Kitchen is the perfect treat — whether it’s for a cozy date night, a nourishing lunch break, or a chance to pick up some of their iconic merch and goodies.

Coffee: The Morning Kickstart

You know we love our pre-workout caffeine! But when we skip the Alani, you’ll find us lined up at our favorite coffee havens.

• Wakie Wakie – Westbrook

• The Rêve Pick: With its warm, creative atmosphere and some of the best lattes around (their oat milk latte is sooooo good), Wakie Wakie is our go-to for a pre or post class jolt. The vibe is friendly, the food is delicious, and you’ll definitely spot our instructors grabbing their weekend pick-me-ups here.

• Gift Idea: A bag of their signature roasted beans paired with a mug makes the perfect cozy, caffeine-loving gift.

A Little Sweet Treat

A great workout deserves a great reward! Life is about balance, after all.

• CSalt Gourmet Market – Cape Elizabeth

• The Rêve Pick: If there’s something our team loves, it’s something sweet — and CSalt Gourmet Market has some of the most delicious treats around. From beautifully packaged chocolates and candies to homemade ice cream from Kettle Cove Creamery (plus their unreal ice cream sandwiches), everything feels thoughtful, local, and a little bit special.

• Gift Idea: Put together a custom box of chocolates, candies, and frozen treats, or gift a CSalt gift card so they can pick their favorites. And if you’re recommending it to a friend, tell them to take their treat for a walk down to Crescent Beach State Park — the perfect winter stroll.

Self-Care & Recovery 

We push hard, so we recover even harder. Give the gift of rest and relaxation!

• Beam Skin Studio

• The Rêve Pick: Nothing soothes post-ride tension like a little self-care, and Beam Skin Studio — conveniently right across the street — is one of our all-time favorites. From custom facials to targeted treatments, their team (including our very own Meg Perry!) helps your skin feel refreshed, restored, and glowing.

• Gift Idea: A gift certificate for a signature facial or one of their specialized treatments makes the perfect feel-good present. Pair it with a candle or skincare goodie from their retail section. 

The Rêve Essentials: Gifting Movement

The gift that keeps on giving is the gift of movement, motivation, and gear!

• Gift Cards to Rêve Cycling Studio

• The Best Gift: Whether they are a member or a first-timer, a gift card is the perfect way to give the gift of movement. Help a loved one kickstart their journey or keep a seasoned vet stocked up on classes for the New Year.

• Rêve Merch & Gear

• The Rêve Pick: We have some really great gear in town! Grab one of our comfy shirts, tanks, or Rêve branded mockneck sweatshirt. Don’t forget a Rêve Baseball Hat—it’s perfect for keeping sweat out of your eyes in class or just rocking that post-workout glow on the go.

• Spin Shoes

• The Rêve Pick: If they are ready to clip in, we still highly recommend the Tiem Slipstream. They’re comfortable, long-lasting, and make a noticeable difference in power transfer. We can even help install the SPD clips right here at the studio!

• The Perfect Water Bottle

• The Rêve Pick: We all know Stanley is having a moment, but we also love the leakproof design and versatile drinking options of the Owala FreeSip! No matter the brand, staying hydrated is non-negotiable.

We hope this guide inspires you to shop local and spread some serious joy this season! Stop by the studio to grab a Rêve gift card, check out our new merch, and tell us which of these local spots you’ll be visiting first!
