The holidays can be stressful, particularly if you’re hosting guests (preparing your house, cooking, tripping over the dog, attending to children, cleaning while anticipating the ruckus to ensue); or if you’re traveling (traffic, weather delays, long lines, dodging open-mouth coughers and sneezers.) Which is why wellness-themed gifts are both thoughtful and functional. Instead of gifting a tchotchke that will collect dust, gifting products and experiences that improve one’s quality of life are the perfect way to show you care.
We’ve curated a list of gifts that will help your loved ones ensure their sacred personal space is clean, cozy, and calm.
Jolie Showerhead
We’re always in awe of Jolie because we have a shared goal - to purify an element fundamental to human life. They brilliantly market themselves as a beauty brand, because what we consume and what surrounds us affect every part of our bodies, including how we look. Their showerhead removes chlorine, heavy metals, and other contaminants from your shower water, resulting in healthier hair and skin. Available in five colors, including a festive vibrant red- this is one of those perfect gifts that your loved ones might wish for but not buy for themselves.
Beekeeper’s Naturals Hive Pharmacy
We’re big fans of taking a natural approach to immunity system boosting and virus prevention. Our friends at Beekeeper Naturals have bundled various bee by-products that are highly nutritious and full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories antibacterials, and antivirals . For the crunchy wellness mama in your life who wants to stay one step ahead of cold and flu season.
Bedside Humidifier from Canopy
Not all humidifiers are made equal! Unlike so many other humidifiers, Canopy has special mold-inhibiting technology, like a UV light, an antimicrobial filter core, and smart sensors hat make cleaning a breeze. Low humidity can dry out tissues and skin, causing signs of wear and tear and reducing your body’s protective mucus membranes’ ability to prevent bacteria and virues to enter. And of course, with six demure colors, they’re cute AF, too.
Loftie Clock
The Loftie clock is the coolest clock that ever existed - it offers so much sleep support, from a two-phase alarm that mimics your natural sleep cycle, to ambient soundscapes, guided meditations, and mystical sound baths. Your favorite insomniac will be so grateful.
Happier Meditation app subscription
While other meditation apps are designed to help soothe your nervous system, Happier system is built on the concept of positive psychology and is meant to make you a happier person - 10% happier, in fact (the name of the book and podcast by cofounder Dan Harris.) Reviews reveal that this app is a highly accessible entry point for even your most most new-age-skeptical friend.
Air Pro
Molekule’s most advanced provides clean air in up to 1000 square feet of space and features the patented PECO technology that destroys pollutants like chemicals and pathogens. Air Pro also comes with advanced particle and chemical sensors that measure and report six different air quality factors over time. Turn on Auto Protect (in Standard or Quiet mode) to automatically change speeds and adapt to changing air conditions.
Hyperice Hypervolt 2
In pain? Get the gun! Hyperice’s massage gun targets large and small muscle groups, using percussion to increase blood flow to the area, relieve tension, and promote healing and range of motion.
HigherDOSE Best-seller Bundle
We couldn’t just pick one HigherDose product so we’re elated to see the best-seller bundle available on their website, featuring everything you need for head-to-toe cellular revitalization. Wrap yourself in a sauna blanket or recline on the PEMF mat, strap on the red light face mask and finish off with the scalp-stimulating red light hat, and let the infrared do the rest. You’ll be grounded glowing from the inside out after a few full-body sessions.
ResortPass Gift Card
Everyone deserves a daycation. ResortPass is a platform that shows you hotels nearby that offer pool passes, cabanas, massages, and even pickleball courts to rent for the day. Often much more affordable than a night at a luxury hotel, send your bestie to the spa for a day of pampering- or even better, join them for some much-needed R&R.
Manduka eKO®
Going to yoga can’t be bad for you, right? Well, unfortunately, many yoga mats contain stinky, sticky plastics, phthalates, and PFAs that are non-biodegradable, endocrine-disrupting, and can even contribute to a poor IAQ. “Natural” fiber options are a bit healthier but just don’t cut it when you’re doing downward dog and realize you're not going to namaste in position. Manduka’s non-toxic yoga mat is made out of real natural rubber so you can get that grip without the slip, minus the nasty synthetic chemicals and environmental damage.
Zero-Proof Mocktail Set
More and more people are opting out of cocktails and opting into herbal elixirs with adaptogens and mushrooms that offer a natural high. Skip the rough morning and gift your sober-curious friend the Ready, Set, Sip gift set featuring various high-end mocktails from The New Bar.
Inflatable hot tub
We’ve had it with the cold plunge trend. While great for recovery, it’s winter, and you can just jump in a cold shower or step outside for a few minutes to cool down. Ease aching muscles with a portablee hot tub that won’t break the bank, and will be appreciated in all types of weather.
