Healthy Holiday Gifts
This year, show your loved ones you care by giving a gift with a healthy twist. Here are some gift ideas for the holiday season:
Active video games for kids and adults. Active video games are a fun way to enjoy videos games but also fit in some movement. This activity can be a way for the whole family to get off the couch and move more.
A massage gift certificate. Purchase a relaxing massage at a spa to help your loved one decompress. Another option is to create a home spa basket with essential oils, bath salts, massage oil, body lotions, and a pumice stone. Relaxation and stress relief are important for overall good health.
A bicycle or scooter. Bikes and scooters are a great way for kids and adults to get exercise. You don’t have to spend a lot of money either, check out goodwill stores or second-hand shops. They often have good bikes and scooters that might need just a little work. Don’t forget to buy a helmet to wear when riding as well!
Healthy cookbooks. How about a new cookbook that includes healthy recipes — maybe one with healthy soups, salads, vegetable sides dishes, whole grains or whole grain breads. Give the gift of eating healthy!
Subscription to a magazine. Consider giving a year subscription to a magazine. There are several magazines that offer healthy recipes and tips, as well as magazines that focus on physical activity (biking, hiking, running, etc.) and relaxation.
Activity Tracker. These devices are a great way to track your progress. They are perfect for the person who is looking to start living healthy or the person already living an active and healthy life.
Living a healthy lifestyle takes work and these healthy gift ideas are a great way to encourage your family and friends to keep doing their best to reach their goals this year.
