What perfect gift will you get that family member who already has everything right?
That's always my dilemma around the holiday season.
Many adults I know who are 40 and over don't need more stuff. And if they do, they buy it. They're not waiting for the holidays to receive anything.
So, sometimes, you need to get creative. Wellness gifts, for example, are great gifts you can buy for the health-conscious people in your life that won't collect dust.
A healthy gift can boost your loved one's physical and mental health. And isn't this a good idea, especially when it's hard enough to make healthy habits stick during the holidays?
In addition to a great gift like our Goode Health holiday gift bundle or subscription offer, here are 12 other healthy holiday gift ideas that the team at Goode Health can fully get behind giving.
Gift Giving for the Smoothie Lover
Hmmm, smoothies.
With the right ingredients, smoothies can boost digestive health and be delicious and refreshing. What's not to love?
And if you have friends and family who are big smoothie fans, these holiday gifts can win them over to aid in their next smoothie creation. They're definitely "Goode Health" approved!
Blenders
As with all carefully curated smoothies, it's essential to have a blender that does the job well.
*Check out this on-the-go blender from Blendjet. Even Venus Williams approves!
*There's also the beast blender that not only looks good on your counters but is also powerful!
Smoothie Ingredients
*Clovis Farms Organic Super Smoothie blend of fruits gives you 6 individual bags you can mix fast. Talk about the convenience of portioned individual servings.
*Mango anyone? The Sun Mark Organic Mango Chunks are delicious and a great addition to add that tropical taste to your favorite drink.
Practical Gift for the App User
Is tech more your loved ones' thing? Then, here are some nutrition-related label apps they may not be aware of, but it would be great to mention with a gift card to their favorite health foods store.
Nutrition Label Apps
*Yuka helps you make the right choices for your health by helping you understand food and cosmetic product labels. Forget feeling confused or uninformed—Yuka clarifies those labels for you.
*Heali is a must-have if you're looking for personalized nutrition plans recommended by registered dieticians that are customized to your taste preferences and health needs. Talk about helpful!
Holiday Gifts for the Coffee Lover
And who doesn't love coffee?
It's one of my " happy moments " every morning. You would be hard-pressed not to find at least one family member who isn't a coffee lover, right?
Below are some of our favorite products that could be great gifts for those who love their cup of joe.
*Need a delicious milk alternative creamer? Then try Bored Cow. This milk substitute is great in coffee, tea, cereal, and hot cocoa.
*And if you're looking for smooth and delicious coffee on demand at your house, Nespresso is the Goode Health's team coffee of choice! We've even been known to give away a Nespresso coffee maker in our giveaways:)
Healthy Snacks for the Health Gurus
And who doesn't need snacks? Not just any snacks, but ones that taste like a treat (and are actually good for you, too).
We recommend the following:
*Seedly offers seed back snacks with organic chocolate from salty to raspberry bliss flavors. Packed with hemp and other seeds, these snacks are nutrient-dense and tasty.
*And what about those peanut butter lovers? Then, this peanut butter protein bar from Crazy Richards is a must-have and a favorite of ours to try.
Recipes
Or maybe you know someone who loves to cook and is always searching for new recipes.
If so, consider checking out Kris Carr and her healthy recipes, which range from raw protein energy balls to juices that fight fatigue. She also happens to have a lot of great wellness and health tips.
Pairing her recipes with some fun kitchen utensils could be a great gift for those who love staying in and cooking some healthy food.
Gifts for Furry Friends
We don't want to forget about our furry friends, who we love, so give them the gift of a healthy treat.
*These Nom Nom beef and chicken jerky treats could become your dog's favorite. They contain no preservatives or artificial flavors.
The Best Gift Is Your Health
Regardless of the holiday season, no one will argue that the best gift is your health.
A healthy body and mind gives you access to leading the full life you envision.
While gifts like body oil, a weighted blanket, and shea butter can be quite enjoyable, feeding your body the right nutrients will get you closer to a healthy lifestyle. (Sleep doesn't hurt either!)
So this season, consider giving a healthy gift. Whether it's our Goode Health holiday gift bundle with 6 single-serve sachets of our two popular flavors (Moroccan chocolate or vanilla spice), a branded shaker bottle, and a hand-held electric mixer, or one of our favorite products in this article, enjoy!
FAQs
What is a wellbeing gift?
A well-being gift is one that promotes health and self-care. Wellbeing gifts promote wellness and help someone reduce stress in their day-to-day life. You could give the gift of a journal, allowing them a place to write down their thoughts or provide a gym membership to tackle fitness goals together. Products that help you relax and embrace healthy living would generally be considered well-being gifts.
What to buy for someone who eats healthy?
When thinking of healthy holiday gift ideas for someone who eats healthy, you could go in a few different directions. You could purchase a healthy cookbook (bonus points if it's someone they're a fan of on social media) if they enjoy spending time in the kitchen. Maybe consider where they shop and purchase a gift card. Consider other items to enhance their healthy lifestyle, like a new yoga mat or white noise machine to improve their sleep quality. Get creative!
What are healthy snacks to buy someone?
Some healthy snacks you can buy someone usually need to be low in added sugars, fat, and sodium. It also helps if they are higher in fiber. You want them to be nutritious.
That said, you can check out our snack gifts in this article. Another fun idea is making a gift basket you can fill with assorted fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts. This is great for a loved one who tends to be busy and wants to eat healthier or for kids who can grab something out of the basket when they get home from school or in between sports activities.
