Hello Friend! With the Holiday season quickly approaching, we at Marching Seasons have been busy creating our Holiday Gift Guide to hopefully help inspire your gift giving for those special people in your life. Hopefully you will find the perfect gift, and we want to help make this easier!
“Think of what your recipient’s biggest challenge is with their health- then use this to guide your gifting.”
If you are new to a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, or have someone in your life who is, and you are unsure what to get a special someone, we’ve got you covered! We have carefully curated this Holiday Gift Guide and hope you will refer back to it for Birthdays, Anniversaries, and any other gift-giving occasions that come up. It features some of the best wellness gifts we can think of. So get a pen and paper and write down the names on your list. Then browse our ideas and write out your holiday gift list using some of our favorites, which encourage overall health.
Think of what your recipient’s biggest challenge is with their health– then use this to guide your gifting. Do they have difficulty getting a good night’s sleep? Perhaps a nice face mask, and a lavender essential oil blend or pillow spray would help them get a restful night’s sleep. Or maybe an adult coloring book and blue light blocking glasses will improve their sleep quality. Any relaxing finds would be great here.
Maybe they would enjoy a gift certificate. You can get one to a fitness studio , along with a schedule of classes, and see if there are any that you can take together. Or perhaps strength training is more their thing. Maybe a 1-on-1 visit with a trainer so that they can learn proper lifting form and be able to participate safely would be appreciated. Or a class or two paid for some boutique fitness classes. Or perhaps some new equipment for their home gym?
You could get a gift box for a wellness enthusiast– there are so many gift box services to choose from these days! Maybe an essential oil diffuser with some high quality essential oils to elevate mood during this winter season when so many get the winter blues. Or some bath salts, or bubbles, for your BFF to enjoy a hot bath while utterly pampering herself!
There are so many holiday gifts that your loved ones will cherish. The best gift is one that so often people won’t indulge in themselves. For this reason, some of the best self-care gifts are gift cards for a massage, or acupuncture, spa treatment, or even a blowout at a posh salon. Self care is so often neglected during the holidays and this can help to encourage it despite busy work schedules.
Whatever wellness routines your family member has, you are sure to find something to support them in their wellness journey or to inspire them to start! A great way to encourage this is to offer to spend time doing the same with the recipient. Such as enjoying a wellness space together, or even just getting out into the great outdoors to get your heart pumping for a greater sense of wellness! This way, you can both work on creating your best health, or taking your health to the next level.
Amazon Alexa is a fantastic device to put in the kitchen so that as the cook uses up the last of a spice, and while her hands are covered in the spice mix you just tossed your tofu in, she can ask Alexa to add more of that spice or any other ingredient to her shopping list. These come in a variety of colors and can even set specific timers for when batch cooking! (i.e. “Alexa, set a 15 minute tofu timer”.)
So there you have it- a Holiday Gift Guide with plenty of ideas for gifts which can be enjoyed by all your loved ones. We certainly hope this holiday season brings you and yours blessings. May the coming year be one of your most memorable– and for all the right reasons!
