Philips Wake-up Light
This is one of my FAVORITE purchases of all time (a gift to myself, if you will). It makes waking up so much easier and I’ve used it pretty much every single day for two years. I’d be lost without it in the winter!
Yoga Mat & Classes
Yoga is great for the body and soul. It enhances strength and flexibility and calms the mind. A yoga mat and – if you’re feeling generous – a 10 class pass would make wonderful gifts for some lucky person.
Yoga Tote
Already know a yogi? How about getting them a nice, new tote – there are so many beautiful styles and designs to choose from!
Water Bottle
Most of us don’t drink nearly as much water as we should. A beautifully designed, BPA-free water bottle may help to change all that. These are Aqua Zinger and Citrus Zinger bottles – where you can put fruit or a half of a lemon, lime or orange on the bottom of the bottle to naturally flavor your water. Yum!
Fitness Monitor
So many brands and so many styles to choose from (pictured are Fitbits)! For some people, these nifty gadgets are exactly the sort of motivation they need to get active and healthy – especially if they like to see hard data supporting their effort.
New Cookware
Cooking at home gets a lot more exciting when you have new tools to use. Look for cookware that does not contain hazardous materials. Stainless steel, ceramic and cast iron cooking surfaces are all great choices.
Mandolin Slicer
For maximum fun in the kitchen (at least in my opinion!) nothing beats a mandolin slicer. Chop, slice and grate veggies in seconds flat – it’ll bring out the kid in you as well as the culinary pro.
Inspirational Jewelry
Jewelry is always a great gift idea for the special people in your life. Why not get them jewelry that inspires and motivates every time they wear it?
Lunch Bag
There’s no better incentive to pack a healthy lunch than having a beautiful lunch bag to put it in. There are thousands of styles and designs to choose from. Look for something both functional and attractive.
Blender and/or Juicer
The Vitamix (pictured) is a coveted high-end blender, but you don’t have to spend big bucks to find a good quality blender or juicer. The great thing about these appliances is that they encourage consumption of more fruit and veggies – and that’s always good!
Biofeedback Game
The Journey to Wild Divine is a great option for someone who might like to turn relaxation into a game. The graphics are gorgeous and the challenges are easy to start with, helping you master relaxation and meditation techniques. I found it a lot of fun, challenging…and of course, very relaxing.
Rewined Candles
How cool are these candles? Made of recycled wine bottles, they contain natural ingredients and wonderful scents that will turn any dinner, meditation or bath into a more relaxing, luxurious event.
