2022 Holiday Gift Guide: For the Wellness and Self-Care Enthusiast

Holiday season is officially underway! It’s time to start looking for the perfect gifts for your friends and family. Each day this week I’m revealing a new gift guide for everyone in your life. And for wellness and self-care enthusiasts, I have the perfect gifts for them. 

You know that friend who has her morning routine set in stone? or that friend who never misses her pilates class? or the friend who's super stressed and could use a little TLC? I've rounded up the best wellness gifts for the wellness and self-care enthusiast or the individual who could adopt a few healthier habits in the new year.

Apollo Neuro

Wellness-Focused Wearable Device

Have a friend who could benefit from less stress? Or a friend who looks forward to their daily meditation routine? Or a family member who has trouble sleeping at night? They will love the Apollo wearable. It’s a wearable device focused on helping you improve your wellness routine and overall health. The Apollo wearable was designed by a neuroscientist and board-certified psychiatrist to help manage stress, improve sleep quality, meditate better, and feel energized when you are feeling fatigued. Apollo Neuro’s scientifically validated technology uses silent, soothing touch therapy to rebalance and strengthen your nervous system, helping you go from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”. Over time, your body learns to recover from stress more quickly, so you can relax, sleep better, and find deep, meaningful focus – anytime and anywhere. And the more you use it, the better it works, as it trains your nervous system to rebalance more quickly. 

Apollo Neuro sent the wearable device to me to try. I have trouble sleeping through the night and often wake up midway through the night. I wore the device for a week right before bed and immediately noticed an improvement in my sleep quality. Apollo is having a big holiday sale from December 5th - December 17th where you can save up to $200!

Foldable Yoga Mat

2023 was a busy travel year for me with back-to-back travel. To keep stress at bay while on the go I try to work out while away from home. I found a foldable yoga mat similar to this one that I can pack in my carry-on. This is perfect for the yogi in your life who can’t go without her daily vinyasa flow. 

Thistle Farms Roller Ball Healing Oils

I picked these roll-on essential oils up on a recent trip to a local boutique. This variety pack is the perfect stocking stuffer or white elephant gift for your friend or co-worker. It includes four oils focused on balance, focus, calm, and comfort. The oils are made by women who are domestic violence abuse victims. Proceeds from the sale go toward helping victims in abuse situations. 

Rooted Positive Daily Affirmation Pens

Have a friend who can’t go without her daily journaling session? These positive affirmation pens were created by a black-owned business owner who loves wellness. She partnered with Target to help women reflect on their self-care routines. You can’t be the price either. It’s $14.99.

Radical Radiance by Angela Jia Kim

Don’t sleep on this book. It is amazing. I won it earlier in a giveaway on Good Reads. It’s the perfect gift for a friend who is a goal chaser focused on mind, body, and spirit in the new year. The 12-week guidebook is focused on helping elevate to your best self. 

Westinghouse Portable Air Purifier

This air purifier is perfect for your bestie who works from home. Or the friend who loves to decorate her spa. It’s portable! With cold and flu season ramping up anyone would appreciate this gift to keep the germ bugs away.
