10 Gifts for Health and Wellness That Everyone on Your List Will Love

Finding the perfect gift can either be the best or most agonizing part of the holidays.

Especially today, when so many people have too much stuff, too little space, and are often avoiding sweets and goodies.

This is where health and wellness gifts shine; they encourage self-care, show you care, and, when chosen mindfully, can benefit anyone on your holiday list.

Whether you're shopping for a fitness fanatic, a self-care enthusiast, or someone looking to start healthier habits, we’ve got you covered with our Health & Wellness Gift Guide.

10 Health & Wellness Gifts For Everyone on Your List

Since health and wellness mean something different to everyone, this gift list includes ideas for self-care, nutrition, fitness, relaxation, healthy cooking, and low-tox living.

1. Non-Toxic, Unscented Candles

It may seem overly simple, but low-tox living enthusiasts go crazy for non-toxic, unscented candles, made from ingredients like pure beeswax.

Unlike traditional candles, non-toxic candles are made from plant- or bee-based waxes (no petroleum), natural lead-free wicks, and contain no synthetic, hormone-disrupting fragrances.

They’re available in tea lights, votives, globes, and traditional tall varieties, so mix and match for a practical, cozy, and functional gift they’ll love.

If your giftee is a crafter, you can also find beeswax candle-making kits, which come with colorful beeswax sheets and cute accessories.

2. Seasonal Supplements

The holiday season comes with its own set of health challenges, especially related to stress, sleep, digestion, and immune function.

This is where supplements shine and make great stocking stuffers!

Some of the best general supplements for holiday season support include:

Chewable Vitamin C: Supports normal immune function, skin health, and provides antioxidant support
Stress Shield® Nighttime: A science-backed sleep aid with L-theanine to support relaxation, Ashwagandha for stress and sleep, and the amino acid GABA to help calm the body’s central nervous system
Vitamin D3 Gummies taste great and support normal immune function
Chewable Papaya Enzymes: For multifaceted digestive support

3. A Healthy Food Gift Box or Basket

Who says corporate and business gifting has to mean unhealthy, high-sugar, ultra-processed treats wrapped up in a basket or box?

Instead, consider a healthy, sustainably sourced food gift box or basket, made DIY-style or ordered from a reputable company?

A quick internet search of “healthy food gift baskets” or “healthy chocolate gifts” will yield several options for gluten-free, sugar-free, organic, vegan, sustainable, pasture-raised, whole-foods-based gift sets to suit anyone’s nutritional philosophy or dietary restrictions.

Some ideas include:

Healthy chocolate gift sets with low-sugar, vegan, fair-trade, organic, and/or herb-enriched chocolatey treats
Gluten-free gift sets with exclusively gluten-free goodies
Organic fruit baskets with organically-grown seasonal fruits, nuts, and dried fruits
Healthy variety gift boxes & baskets with nuts, healthy chocolates, naturally sweetened cookies, cheeses, crackers, etc.
Pasture-raised steak gift sets with organic, humanely-raised gourmet steaks, steak sauces, seasonings, etc
Bakery boxes with authentic sourdoughs, gluten-free goodies, and naturally-sweetened goodies
Postpartum meal deliveries, though not technically a basket, several companies now offer premade frozen healthy, whole foods meals for postpartum recovery

The really cool thing about these is that they’re not much more expensive than conventional food gifts, so why not go healthy? Your friends & family will thank you for it.

4. A Temperature-Controlled Mug with Organic Tea or Coffee

‘Tis the season for hot drinks, and a temperature-controlled mug will keep them hot through all the chaos!

These mugs come with a miniature hot plate, allowing the user to set the perfect temperature for their coffee, tea, or other warm beverage, and range in price from under $10.00 to over $100, depending on how technologically “smart” you want your coffee mug.

Pair this with a box of organic herbal tea, matcha, or organic coffee for a gift they’ll enjoy daily.

5. Clean Bodycare & Lip Care Products

Cooler temperatures and dry air always lead to dry skin, especially on the body and lips.

And although it’s risky to buy facial care products for someone else, all-natural body lotions, butters, and lip balms are usually a safe and welcome gift.

Country Life Vitamin’s sister company, Desert Essence, was one of the original clean skincare lines and offers a variety of clean, botanically based skincare, body care, and hair care products.

Some of their popular winter products include:

Pumpkin Spice Hand Repair Cream: This super-hydrating, fast-absorbing repair cream contains Organic Pumpkin Seed Extract and Jojoba Oils to restore moisture, and Organic Licorice Root Extract to help brighten rough, dry, dehydrated skin. Certified to NSF Organic Standard
Jojoba, Coconut & Chamomile Body Oil Spray: Moisturizing with natural oils just got easier! This soothing after-shower body oil finishing spray contains nourishing Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, and Chamomile, and absorbs quickly while sealing in moisture for 24 hours. Perfect for dry, normal, or sensitive skin
Sweet Almond Body Wash: A moisture-replenishing, cruelty-free body wash formulated with Organic Sweet Almond, Comfrey, and Aloe, and a luxuriously natural almond scent.
Fresh Mango Body Butter: Bring a little sunshine to their skincare routine with this deeply moisturizing blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Mango Seed Butter, and Aloe, highlighted with natural, fresh Mango fragrance, for soft, smooth, hydrated skin
Lip Rescue Ultra Hydrating - Shea Butter Lip Balm: Ultra-hydrating lip balm formulated with Organic Shea Butter, Rosemary Oil, and Ginkgo Biloba. Hydrates and soothes dry, cracked lips

Shop all Desert Essence skin, body, hair, and oral care products.

6. An Olive Oil Subscription

Nearly all health-conscious people use olive oil for cooking, salads, and even DIY skincare.

However, reports of adulterated olive oil scams can make it hard to know if you’re getting truly authentic, 100% pure extra virgin olive oil.

Fortunately, several olive oil companies are now third-party certified to produce and/or sell authentic olive oils from around the world, and they offer subscriptions!

Most subscription packages include a monthly shipment of 100% pure olive oil from various regions, allowing users to taste the difference from region to region.

Many companies also sell gift boxes, if a subscription is more than you want to spend.

Either way, olive oil makes a great gift!

7. Homemade Protein Bars with Clean Protein Powder

Fitness enthusiasts typically love protein-based snacks and treats, and everyone loves a homemade gift.

That’s where these homemade vegan protein bars, from our sister company, Biochem, come in.

They’re easy to make, chock-full of satiating, muscle-supportive protein, and whole-foods-based.

Although they’re all delicious, the Vanilla Chia Chai Vegan Protein Bars are particularly festive this time of year (especially with the white chocolate drizzle).

Throw in a bottle of Biochem’s Grassfed Whey or sustainably-sourced Vegan Protein Powder for a healthy and empowering gift they will enjoy many times over.

8. Online or In-Studio Yoga Gift Subscription

Yoga has so many benefits for building strength, flexibility, endurance, while cultivating greater mindfulness, self-awareness, and peace, and aiding exercise recovery.

Plus, most health-conscious people either practice yoga or feel they should practice more (yes, even gym lovers).

Yoga gift subscriptions are an ideal self-care gift, and can be purchased from online yoga platforms for typically under $20.00 per month, as well as local studios.

9. A Travel Massager

Anyone who travels for work will appreciate a portable travel massager, like a battery-powered massaging ball or a miniature shiatsu back massager.

You can also find models specifically designed for the car, which make great gifts for parents who spend a lot of time waiting for their kids in the school pickup line!

Non-electric portable massagers, such as scalp and head massagers, wooden foot massages, and acupressure mats, also make great stress-busting gifts for the weary traveler.

10. Tools for Digital Detoxing

Although people are becoming more aware of the benefits of less screen time, it can be hard to cut back, especially if we work at a computer all day.

A simple solution is to use everyday digital detox tools to help reduce screentime addiction and habits.

Some ideas include:

Faraday bags: Phone storage cases that completely shut off the phone’s EMF radiation, notifications, and other functions until you remove it from the bag
Phone lock boxes: Keeps phones literally locked up to prevent mindless scrolling, checking texts, and notifications
Blue light blocking glasses: These glasses help filter out blue light, which can disrupt sleep patterns
An analog alarm clock: Helps break the habit of using the phone as an alarm clock, and gets the phone out of the bedroom
An e-reader: Like a Kindle, or similar, these have limited features, and encourage reading versus scrolling
A Wi-Fi kill switch: Allows the user to turn off their Wi-Fi with one switch, creating healthy boundaries. You can also find automatic switches that turn themselves on and off at set times, creating even better boundaries
