 8 Christmas Gift Ideas to Hack your Loved Ones Health for under $100

 

Diffuser and Essential Oils Starter Kit Set

Idea #1

Diffuser and Essential Oils Starter Kit Set

The benefits of aromatherapy have been studied since ancient times and good quality oils can help in so many different daily situations, like a burn or sinus blockage. One of the problems is people think its too complicated, expensive or they may just not know about it in the first place so they don’t take advantage of this healthy hack. 


Getting your loved one a diffuser and a starter set of essential oils can get them started on this journey and a good set will last them for many, many months.  If you find out they enjoy it and have seen benefits, it is also an opportunity for future gifts as you introduce them to new Oils or combinations they may not know.

Clean Skin and Hair Care serum

Idea #2

Clean Skin and Hair Care

I don't know about you, but I have some family members who are obsessed with their skin and their hair! Always using new products, trying out the latest trend but ultimately doing damage with chemicals because they don’t know any better. 

 

Even if you don't know what they use, there are some amazing clean products out there that they will benefit from and may never have thought of trying themselves.


If your uncle is losing his hair - look for a natural hair growth serum. Does your mom suffer from sunspots but hasn’t invested in a good facial cream in years?  For best assistance with this download the Think Dirty App or ask your hairdresser or wellness friend (i.e. Jimmy or myself) for help. 

Buy Hair Growth Serum

 

 

 

under desk ellepticals

Idea #3

Practical Exercise & Wellness Equipment

Buying exercise equipment for others may not be the 'norm', but if you're looking out for your loved ones’ health it's one of the best things you can do for them. To buy others a gym membership could be complicated because it interferes with their daily life, but there are surely things you can gift that would fit into the lifestyle they have now, all you have to do is think with a little creativity. 

Below are a couple of ideas to get you started on this "out-of-the-box" idea

 

Under the desk elliptical - For those family members who work too much and don't get time to exercise. 

Buy Elliptical
 
 

Juicer - For those who are looking to get healthier or love juice (there is always one in the family).

Buy Juicer

 
 
Microgreen planting kit - Luckily you don’t need to know if they have a greed thumb or garden space. All they need is a windowsill and some time (which we all have). Once they plant the seeds, they don't even have to do anything. Just watch them grow and enjoy the microgreens to add to salads and sandwiches.
 
 
 
 
Light dumbbell set/elastics/rolling pins/yoga mat - Your family members might not have time to make it to the gym, but if they have some nice equipment at home it will motivate them to start doing something for their bodies.
 
 
 
 
Acupressure mat - too few know about the benefits of lying on an acupressure mat for 10 minutes a day. For the family members who have back and shoulder pains, those that sit a lot and even those who are already healthy - this is a highly beneficial (as well as cheap) tool so few know about.
 
Buy Accupressure Mat

 

rock climbing wall expierence

Idea #4

Experiences

For those who like to give something other than tangible products, a wonderful idea is to help them make a memory. Tangible things can get lost, broken, or destroyed yet memories will last a lifetime. 

 

So here are some fun ideas you can explore that may be available in your area or lead you to a similar experience that you can gift or even share with your loved one. 

  • Goat yoga class

  • 1 hour at a Driving range

  • Horseback riding tour

  • Rock climbing class

  • Picnic at the beach/park

step and health counter watch

Idea #5

Step Counter/Health Tracking watch

This would be something for the "techie" family members, or even for some elderly family members who spend the day sitting on the sofa and need a little push to get up. 

 

A step counter or heart monitor is a great way to keep on top of daily health and stressors, and a good way to motivate people to walk more. Make sure they know how to use it, track their progress and ask them periodically how many steps they walked today, to make sure they are using it.

Buy A Fitness Step Counter

 

supscription to a health and fitness app

 Ideas #6

Subscription to a Health App/Coach

Very often the key to getting healthy is to get started. Yet nobody ever seems to know how to do this... Gifting a subscription to a meditation app or an exercise app, that your loved one can use on their own time, is a great way to get them started on a new journey for their health.

 

Plus, if you think they'll have trouble, hold them accountable! Join them for a couple of workouts or meditations. It will do you both good and can start to get them motivated. 

Get Beachbody on Demand

 Idea #7

Healthy Cookbook & Ingredients

A sly trick to get people to eat healthier is to replace their products with better and perishable versions. Plus - who doesn’t like a new cookbook with a beautiful gift basket of goodies? 

 

Buying a simple, healthy cookbook is a good start to giving people new ideas but add a basket with ingredients for at least one recipe to motivate them! 

Add in a bottle of olive oil, some pink salt, spices, dried herbs, and the fresh produce needed for the recipe. Then invite yourself to dinner soon to try out this new dish! What better way than to make sure they use it?

Buy Food Basket

 

spa gift certificate

 

Idea #8

Spa treatment

We all know that most women love being spoiled and nourished at a Spa. But guys can benefit from this kind of gift as well! Depending on your budget and the receiver’s liking you have a lot of options to play with. 

 

From Mani/Pedi's, foot massages, full-body, or even a DIY at-home massage (if your family member or partner is okay with that) are all good options. And if you don't know what they need - a gift certificate at the local spa is the way to go!
