It’s that time of year again to start thinking about gift ideas for your friends, and loved ones, and something for yourself too! I’m not big on shopping and I don’t like spending money so I’m ALWAYS looking for the best price. These gift ideas are practical and useful for any health and wellness fan. Heck, they’re useful for anyone. Explore thoughtful gift ideas for health and wellness to promote a balanced and mindful lifestyle.
For your convenience, there is a Christmas Shopping List that you can print out at the bottom of this post.
Best Gift Ideas for Health and Wellness:
Non-Slip Yoga Mat –
This yoga mat is eco-friendly and made from non-toxic material. It has a double-sided non-slip surface to keep it from moving and preventing accidents. Your loved ones need to stretch and exercise. It helps keep stiffness and spasticity away. I use mine every day while I’m doing my stretching exercises.
Non-Skid Socks –
If you have a loved one who suffers from weakness, or balance issues these socks are perfect. These socks will help a person from slipping and falling. There’s nothing more nerve-wracking than the thought of getting hurt. Give them a little peace of mind with these nonskid socks.
Natural Dry Brush –
A perfect gift for anyone who is trying to detox their body. It helps remove dead skin cells and supports the lymphatic system. The soft bristles feel great over your skin, I like to use mine every day.
Silicone Oven Mitt –
Oven mitts offer optimal protection from burns. I can’t tell you how many times I burnt myself from those cheap dollar-store oven mitts. For those with numbness in their hands, they may not realize they’re getting burnt. With these oven mitts, they’ll feel more confident wearing them.
Yaktrax Traction Cleats –
I don’t own a pair of these but they are definitely on my wish list. A friend of mine bought these after slipping on the ice and claimed they worked great. It’s hard enough walking on snow and ice for anyone. It’s especially hard when you’re dealing with balance issues, foot drop, or weakness. Give your loved one a little more peace of mind with these foot trackers.
Hydration Water Bottle with Meter –
This water bottle is BPA free and it has a meter that tracks your daily water intake. It’s a perfect gift for those who are keeping track of their daily water intake. Water helps remove toxins and to stay hydrated. It also impacts resistance and dishwasher safe which is very handy.
23andMe DNA Test – Health–
Learn more about how genetics, environment, and lifestyle play a role in your health with a home DNA test. Genetic testing can reveal mutations in your genes. It helps you and your doctor make better treatment options. I had my DNA tested through 23andMe a few years ago and discovered my body has a hard time detoxing. You can read more about my experience here: DNA Test for Multiple Sclerosis. When you purchase a Health DNA kit you’ll also receive an ancestry report showing you where you came from. It’s fun to see where you originated from. 23andMe even made Oprah’s 2017 favorite things list.
doTERRA Petal Diffuser –
This is for more than adding aroma to a room. They are beneficial for sickness, allergies, or having trouble falling asleep. I bought one of these several months ago and everyone in my family has used it, I may need to buy a second one. We only use high-quality essential oils and bought their diffuser. I love this one because it gives you the option of staying on for one, two, or four hours before shutting off. It also has the option of using a night light or only having a soft green light when it’s on.
Smartwool Socks –
Many people suffer from cold feet at times. For those with an autoimmune disease cold feet may be an everyday occurrence, this may be due to poor circulation. It’s especially troubling during the colder months. These socks keep your feet very warm, they’re not too tight and very comfortable.
Anti-Stress Unscented Comfort Wrap –
A great product for soothing sore muscles. After sitting at a desk all day or in a wheelchair, neck and shoulder muscles become very stiff. This offers a therapeutic comfort to help relax muscles and relieve pain. I received one of these for Christmas last year and love it. After work my neck and shoulder are in so much pain I can hardly lift my arm. This helps calm the stiffness and pain down.
Hot Water Dispenser –
One of my favorite kitchen items is the Hot Shot. It quickly heats up the water, faster than a microwave oven. I have owned one of these for over ten years! My entire family uses it to heat up the water for tea, hot chocolate, hot cereals, or add hot water to warm up soups.
These are my top gift ideas for your health and wellness friends and family. I have used each of these items (minus the foot tracker) many times and love them. I hope you’ll find this list useful!
