Happy Monday guys!
Are you an early & prepared Christmas shopper or a last minute scrambling to grab something meaningful Christmas shopper? Whether you’re the former or the latter (or somewhere in between!), I made the ultimate gift guide for the active lifestyle, fitness lover & wellness gal in your life!!
One of the things I value most is living a healthy + balanced lifestyle, so I created a list of items that represent both of those. From at-home workout favorites, to morning routine essentials, to ways to elevate your overall wellness- there is something for everyone! I included my must-have, holy-grail items, as well as a few items on my own Christmas list! 🙂
For all my gals that want to strengthen their gut and gain control of their digestive health! This daily probiotic is on my Christmas list this year after hearing so many good things from not only people I follow on social media, but from my close friends who have tried it consistently as well.
CLEAN INGREDIENT PROTEIN POWDER
If you or someone in your life is trying to gain muscle through working out, a big way to speed up that process is incorporating more protein into your diet. One of my favorite food bloggers, the food babe, just came out with this clean-ingredient protein powder with only 5 ingredients!!
You may have heard all the hype about the stanley cup, and in my opinion it is well deserved. This would be the perfect gift for anyone- a teacher, a mother-in-law, a nurse, etc!! My favorite part that I don’t see often see water bottles that can hold 40oz of water & also fit into any cupholder! And also it’s just so cute.
A journal to help you fall in love with journaling! The 5 minute journal has prompts in the morning and evening that you can fill out each day to change your mindset and ultimately shift it more towards gratitude. I can attest that it does just that. This would be the perfect gift for a friend, or even a quality stocking stuffer!
This Vitruvi essential oil diffuser has been one of my favorite gifts I’ve ever received. I got it two Christmas’s ago, and use it almost daily still! Essential oil scents have so many benefits & this diffuser makes it easy to use. It also looks chic anywhere you have it! We love to use holiday essential oil scents during this season too which would be a cute add-on or stocking stuffer to include with this gift!
SELF-HELP BOOKS
You can’t go wrong gifting someone a book, especially self-help. If they have a favorite genre that you know of, try picking out something from that! But if you’re not sure, self-help books are always a great gift. 3 of my favorite self-help books include:
- Atomic Habits by James Clear
- 101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think by Brianna Wiest
- The Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter- And How To Make The Most Of Them Now by Meg Jay
I think any girl would love this belt bag as a gift! It not only elevates your outfit, but it is equally practical! It fits your phone, keys, wallet, all while keeping you hands-free (moms especially, you know how needed it is to have your hands free with toddlers!). Definitely dropping some hints to my fiance to snag this for Christmas for me!
Any wellness loving gal would appreciate this big gift. This Hatch alarm clock is all the hype right now! Though it’s on the pricey side, all the features make it worth it. Not only is it an alarm clock, but it triples as a sound machine AND nightlight. The best part is you can wake up to gradual sunlight from the clock. How cool!!!
Know any yoga lovers in your life? This alo yoga mat will immediately elevate their workout whether it’s at home, in-studio or even outdoors. First off, the colors are gorgeous. Secondly, it’s thoughtfully made with comfort and quality at the front of mind.
The most comfy & versatile arm/leg weights you can find!! I think these would be such a great gift to someone to upgrade their at-home workouts. These would be especially perfect for the yoga or pilates lover.
This is definitely a splurge item, but so worth it. This oversized hoodie would look so cute paired with the high waisted align leggings from Lulu (my favorite), & would be easy to throw on for running errands or before or after a workout. They have so many color options to choose from, but the colors go quick so if you’re looking to gift someone this I’d snag it soon!
MELISSA WOOD HEALTH MEMBERSHIP
All time favorite workout app for all things yoga, pilates, stretching, & mindfulness. This would be the PERFECT gift to a friend or family member, or even to yourself! I absolutely love these workouts and they truly have something for everyone. Some workouts are as short as 10 minutes if you’re short on time, and you still FEEL the burn!
This ice roller is 100% on my Christmas list this year. I have only heard good things about the benefits of ice rolling and I am looking forward to incorporating that more into my daily routine. This one from The Skinny Confidential is apparently AMAZING, but I have also heard great things about this less expensive Amazon option.
I found this personalized airpod case on Etsy and think this would be the perfect gift for the gal who quote on quote “has everything.” This is something I know a lot of people wouldn’t buy for themselves, but would love as a gift. It could even be the perfect stocking stuffer being under $20!
If you follow my blog consistently, you know this is one of my most talked about favorites. My holy-grail sleeping mask for my lips!! There is not a night that goes by where I don’t use this. I bring it everywhere we travel- it’s that good! I used to struggle with chapped lips all the time until I started consistently using this every night before I go to bed, and now I wake up with hydrated & soft lips! Seriously the best!
This is a splurge gift for sure, but would be another great gift for the girl who “has everything,” the gal who works from home, or someone in your life that is a major coffee lover!! You can even connect the cup to your smart phone to control the temperature… like what! Technology is so cool!!
An under $10 stocking stuffer idea for your apple watch wearing friend or family member! There are so many color options here and it even has over 9,000 5-star ratings on Amazon to prove it’s value. Soft, smooth, and comfortable to wear for any workout!
