Healthy Living Holiday Gift Ideas

Take the stress out of gift giving by shopping these wellness-inspired ideas!

1. Caraway Utensil Set

   Wooden kitchen tools offer health benefits to both humans and the environment. Naturally antibacterial, they won't leach chemicals into food like traditional plastic tools. They are also gentle on cookware, heat-resistant and an eco-friendly option.

2. Rubbermaid Brilliance Glass Food Storage Set

   Storing food in plastic containers can cause the chemicals from the plastic to leach into your food. Reheating food in plastic containers will do the same. Glass is a non-toxic food storage & reheating solution, and also better for the environment than plastic.

3. Instant Pot Multi-Use Pressure Cooker

   I got my Instant Pot several years ago as a non-toxic alternative to the crock-pot I had been using forever. Most crock pots are glazed with non-stick coating, which can leach into food while cooking. In addition to a stainless steel drum (read: not coated so, non-toxic), Instant Pot Multicookers have nine different cooking functions, including: pressure cooking, slow cooking, sautéing, sous vide, steaming, sterilizing, warming, rice making, and yogurt preparation.

4. Bkr Water Bottle

   In theme with the items above, a glass water bottle is a non-toxic and eco-friendly option for staying hydrated. I love this bottle because it's BIG and will last through a 90-minute hot yoga class, or any other workout I do.

5. Olive Tree Therapy Lip Balm

   The absolute best lip balm I have ever used! Oliveda products incorporate olive leaf extract as the product base, rather than water. Olive leaf extract is rich in hydroxytyrosol, a potent anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant, providing health benefits to skin. Hydroxytyrosol is also a natural anti-microbial, so preservatives are not added to any of the products, as are required with water-based products. This lip balm also contains organic Arbequina olive oil, rather than the petroleum found in most lip balms.

7. Anespa DX Home Spa System

   A water filter AND mineralizer for your shower! It connects directly to your shower arm and filters water with a ceramic cartridge to remove chlorine, bacteria and other harmful substances. The water is then revitalized with tufa, a mineral stone taken directly from the Futamata Radium Hot Spring in Hokkaido, Japan, MIC stone, and power stone to mildly alkaline the water & provide negative-ions for optimal skin and hair benefits.

8. Enagic Leveluk K8 Water Ionizer

   I've had my K8 & my Anespa for three years now, and I would never go back to living without them! The Kangen water produced by the K8 is micro-clustered, ionized, alkaline, antioxidant, hydrogen-rich water that has immense health benefits for the body. In addition to Kangen water, the K8 produces four other types of water that can be used for cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene, pets, plants, first aid and more! A truly one-of-a-kind device meant to last 20 years or more. An investment in your health for years to come!

9. AirDoctor 3500

   An in-home or office air purifier to remove common allergens, smoke and bacteria from the air you breathe. Great for bedrooms, living rooms, dorm rooms and offices. Filters only need to be replaced every 6-12 months. Low maintenance and high reward!

10. Massage Gift Certificate

    Last but not least, the gift that almost anyone would enjoy... a relaxing massage. So many of us don't take the time for self care, or can't (or won't) spend the money on it, seeing it as a "luxury". The health benefits of massage go far beyond relaxation - pain relief, stress & anxiety reduction, improved sleep, mood, & circulation, lower blood pressure, enhanced immune function, reduced inflammation, and on and on. While you likely want to find a massage studio in the same location as your gift recipient, if they are in the Lansing-area, I highly recommend the day spa linked below.

    Renewed Spirit Spa in East Lansing, MI

Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season, and a healthy, happy New Year!

In good health,

Kelly
