The holiday season is such an incredible time to draw close to the people you love and show them how much you appreciate them. There are so many ways that you can do this. Maybe it’s a phone call, a special I’m thinking of you text, a card in the mail, or cooking a special dinner for friends and family. For most people, gift-giving around the holiday is one way that they can share their appreciation and love for those that they hold near and dear to their hearts.
While there are, in general, two types of people in the world – gift givers and gift receivers, the act of giving a gift always has some element of deep satisfaction. While some people may be naturally bemore talented at knowing exactly what to get, and love the process, everyone finds satisfaction in showing the people in their life that they love how much they appreciate them. It makes a person feel accomplished, satisfied, and like they did something good in the world.
The truth though, is that if you are giving a gift – even though it is the thought that counts – you want to make sure that you are giving a gift that lands! It’s such an incredible feeling to get someone you care about a gift that they absolutely love and are blown away by. When it comes to gifts that you can give this holiday, there are few gifts that are as impactful and thoughtful as the gift of wellness.
If you have been wondering about how you can get the people you care about the holiday season gifts that are focused on wellness – here is everything you need to know!
Will Everyone Want a Wellness Gift?
Before getting too far, let’s first tackle whether or not you should get someone the gift of wellness. The truth is, gifts are supposed to be fun, life-giving, and bring joy. A lot of times, when people think of health and wellness their mind goes immediately to things like strict diets, rigorous gym routines, and sometimes even failure over past goals.
That’s why getting your friends and family wellness gifts that inspire joy and cultivate health and wellness in an encouraging way is key. You have to know the person you are buying for. If they are a health guru that loves the gym – then something workout related might be appropriate. If they are older and have arthritis, a gym membership – while thoughtful and expensive – may not be the best choice.
Here are some awesome options to consider for people in all stages of life and health and wellness!
1. A Juice Cleanse!
There are several reasons why a juice cleanse is not only a safe bet for a wellness gift but an absolutely stellar one. The main reason that a juice cleanse is such a good option when you are looking to get a loved one a wellness-related gift – is that they are delicious! Juice cleanses are made with pure, organic, juice that is rich in nutrients, vitamins, and fiber.
Another great thing about a juice cleanse is that you can get one that matches the level of intensity that your loved one will appreciate. For example, if they happen to be a hard-core health enthusiast, get them a week-long juice cleanse that is as challenging as it is delicious! If on the other hand, they are new to the world of health and wellness, maybe just stick with a two or three-day cleanse that rewards them for their efforts with delicious juice and powerful nutrients!
2. A Yoga Mat
Yoga is an ancient practice of meditation and physical fitness and the best part about this practice is that it can be enjoyed by anyone no matter where they are in the health and fitness journey of life. Yoga seeks to meet people where they are and then teach them how to understand their bodies, their minds, and their physical health on a deeper level.
If you have a friend or loved one who has been showing interest in growing in areas of physical stamina, strength, and mental clarity – a nice, comfortable yoga mat is the way to go!
3. A Journal
Journaling has been shown to have some incredible health benefits and help people deal with issues like anxiety and gain better mental clarity. If you have a friend or family member that is wanting to pursue their personal health, then purchasing them the gift of a journal could be a great gift that will impact their lives in a big way. In addition, if you’d like to purchase a gift for a kid, then a gratitude journal for kids can be a great choice. It encourages mindfulness and a positive outlook on life, making it a thoughtful and impactful present that aligns with the theme of wellness and well-being in this article.
Conclusion
The truth is any kind of gift that you get for a friend or loved one this holiday season will be appreciated. If you are giving the gift of wellness, these are some great ideas that you simply can’t go wrong with!
