The Ultimate Health-Conscious Gift Guide
Amazon Gifts for the Health-Conscious Individual
In our most recent Environmental Health and Sexual Health series, we have learned so much about how to care for our minds and bodies, while remaining connected to the Earth and others. That’s why we are so thrilled to share our favorite gifts inspired by our year of inspiring episodes.
No matter if you are gifting to someone at the beginning, middle or end of their wellness journey, here are our favorite gifts for the health-conscious individual!
For the Health-Conscious
Water Bottle
We all know we’re supposed to be drinking more water, we all give it a go, but it’s very easy to forget. This big, sturdy bottle almost makes you want to drink more!
Flō Mindful Breathing Necklace
The Flō Necklace is designed to reduce stress by focusing your breathing and slowing your heart rate. We noticed that during high stress situations, it dramatically affects one’s breathing. Mindful breathing necklaces like Flō are inspired by Monks of the 17th century in Japan, and have so many amazing health benefits. We can all use a reminder to just breathe.
Deep Tissue Muscle Massager
For the fitness guru in your life, a deep tissue muscle massager is a must. This one in particular comes in a sleek, compact design and will ensure a better workout and recovery. No wonder it has almost 12,000 5-star reviews.
Lead Water Filter
In our Environmental Health Series, MIT Lecturer Libby Hsu spoke with us about her passion for humble technologies involving water and sanitation. She specifically shared with us the physical and mental health implications of not having access to clean water. If you or someone you love lives in a big city or a pre-war building, it’s a good idea to invest in a water filtration system!
For The Self-Aware
Couples Card Game
Lily Walford of Love With Intelligence reminds us of the importance of connection and understanding our partner’s limitations, values, and love languages. This card game is great at the dinner table or date night to start conversations about connection and growth.
A Classic Journal
Whether tracking meals, mental health, or exploring a more creative outlet, journaling is an excellent way to remain reflective and calm the mind.
For Better Sleep
The Original White Noise Machine
Sean did a ton of research, since they wanted to make sure to got a noise machine that lasted a long time, and kept coming back to this exact model. The Yogasleep Dohm Classic Original White Noise Machine. There are newer designs with smaller profiles, but many of the reviews said those smaller, sleeker models didn’t last a long time with the motors running constantly. So they opted for the less-than-stylish traditional model, which has done wonders for their sleep! It even helps with focus, so having one in the office is a great idea as well. No wonder they’re used in plenty of therapists’ offices too!
WEIGHTED BLANKET
Whether looking to ease an anxiety attack or aid sleep, this weighted blanket comforts the body and quiets the mind. At 15 pounds there is often the concern of getting too hot. Have no fear. This blanket brings deeper sleep, but can just as well bring peace for a few minutes beforehand to set a bedtime routine. The peaceful properties of weighted blankets are proven, and this one, in particular, has been tried and tested.
