Holiday shopping can often cause a lot of unnecessary stress. Think about it. The holidays are supposed to be the most joyous time of the year. However, when it comes to gift giving, it can be time consuming for your brain when trying to think of the best gifts to give.
When shopping for the “health nuts” on your list (like me), it can be a real challenge. But, don’t stress! If you dig deep enough and do your homework, you will find some good gifts that are creative, thoughtful and most of all give that good healthy vibe.
Check out these ideas that will help you find the right gift that will fit anyone’s healthy lifestyle.
- Gift of Nourishment (Body): Tea blends, herbs & spices, seasonal fruit baskets with nuts, olive oils and vinegar sets. These are just to name a few of the ideas that come to mind when I think of a healthy gift basket. Have you ever heard of soup jars? Why not fill a Mason jar with beans, lentils, whole grains, and dried herbs and spices to create a nutritious soup mix? Include a recipe tag and put the soup name on the label.

- Gift of Well-Being (Spirit and Mind): Calmness of the body and mind will put your spirit at ease and wash away the stress. How about treating someone or even yourself to the gift of relaxation? Health spas offer gift cards, which make great gifts for anyone who needs that time to relax and rejuvenate. Spa treatments are not just pedicures and facials. Health spas also offer relaxation classes, such as yoga as well as healthy meals. Can you think of a more soothing way to unplug from the stress as you reconnect back to your inner being?

Remember, the holidays are not just about giving monetary gifts. It is also about reconnecting with yourself, celebrating joyous moments with your family or just sharing a simple cup of tea or coffee with a good friend.
Happy Holidays and cheers to your good health this holiday season.
