Choose Healthy Christmas Gifts for Better Well-Being
By Brandi Goodman
Chances are your loved ones will be receiving toys, electronics, gift cards, and baked goods this Christmas. Instead of adding more of the same old stuff, choose healthy Christmas gifts instead. You'll show your family and friends you care by gifting them items that can help their well-being.
Fitness Tracker
Gifting a fitness tracker is a great option if you know the person is trying to get more exercise and work on themselves. They can use the tracker to observe their exercise habits, monitor how many calories they've burned, check their heart rate and possibly more depending on what style you get. There are basic options for beginners and advanced choices for those who really want to track everything.
Self-Cleaning Water Bottle
People can always use more water bottles. Although some may carry the same one with them daily there's going to be times when the bottle needs to be washed. What if it gets lost or you forget it when you're running late? Having a spare kept somewhere can be extremely beneficial. There is now a self-cleaning water bottle that makes a great gift option. The UV-C LED technology within the bottle eliminates bio-contaminants to purify the water.
Wellness Candles
We all know the stress of the season can come on quickly. Even the stresses of daily life can be overwhelming. Gift wellness candles so the people you love can get some relaxation and boost their mood. Different variations exist, such as a lavender candle to help you relax or a cardamom and jade candle that promotes health and harmony.
Compression Stockings
Standing, sitting, walking, and many other movements can lead to pain in the legs. If you sit too long you can cut off the circulation within your lower body. If you stand too long you may find your legs feeling sore and tired. Compression stockings are great for everyone because they help to improve circulation within the legs and reduce swelling and discomfort. Gift pairs to everyone in your family and in their favorite colors and styles.
Lots of healthy gift options are available. Consider what your family and friends would like and gift them something truly beneficial this Christmas. You don't have to give basic options that most will already be receiving or have received in the past. Something related to their well-being is even more considerate.
