Hello my friends,
It’s officially December 1st, so I thought it might be helpful for me to share a few of my favorite gift ideas.
Aside from the list I’ve compiled below of some of my favorite things, I’ve recently become an Amazon Influencer, which means I have my own Amazon page with all of my favorite products — I’m in the process of adding a few of my all-time favorite things here (books, products and more) if you’d like to check them out.
First off, I think the best gifts are experiences where you can spend time with someone. A couple of years ago I got my Dad tickets to a Celtics game, and the whole family went, and it was so much more memorable than gifting “things.” I love any gift that involves an experience and spending quality time together. That being said, here are a few “things” I love if you want to get something to physically wrap. :)
I hope you enjoy giving these gifts to the people you care about in your life.
Wellness
Four Sigmatic medicinal mushroom coffee, hot chocolate and elixirs – I’m in love with these. I’ve been drinking the Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Cordyceps regularly and slipping packets to all my friends. Check out all of their offerings (hot chocolate too!) Get a discount with the code HEALTHYCRUSH at checkout.
Neurobox Monthly Brain Health Subscription – the healthy brain gift that keeps on giving. I’ve been loving receiving my Neurobox each month. Get a discount with the code JENNY10. :)
Essential oil diffuser and a few oils. I love diffusing oils while I’m at home relaxing or working. My favorite for relaxing is lavender and my favorite for working or general well-being is frankincense. And make sure to check out this calming “serenity” one.
TOMS slippers — I saw these recently and though they would be the ultimate relaxation gift – they look so cozy. Pair that with a spa gift card and you’ll have a very chilled out loved one. I also love gifting cozy socks. :)
Float tank gift card – Give the gift of the deepest relaxation possible. Just do a quick Google search to see if there’s a float tank center in your city.
Salt lamp – I’ve been loving the calming warm glow of my salt lamp. It makes any room more beautiful and peaceful, and it’s especially nice and calming in the bedroom because it’s said to improve sleep.
Food
My favorite chocolate brands to gift people are Fine & Raw and Hu Kitchen.
I’m in love with the collagen protein bars from Bulletproof. Try the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor, or pumpkin spice if it’s still in stock…
Thrive Market membership – if your loved ones are into health food and they aren’t a Thrive member yet, check this out and help them save money on all the top healthy groceries on the market. It’s awesome. Get 25% off & free shipping on your first order by signing up here.
Make these gluten-free chocolate chip cookies…they’re out of this world. Also, these maple spiced pecans.
Beauty
My all time favorite face lotion — Amazing Face by Simply Divine Botanicals
My favorite (high end, splurge) face cream (you only need to use a tiny bit at a time) — May Lindstrom Blue Cocoon
Charcoal Cleansing Bar from BeautyCounter (I wrote here about some of the other BeautyCounter products I’ve tried, I like their “safe beauty” approach)
Shimmer & Shine Set from BeautyCounter – cute gift idea
Lip Gloss Trio – these lip glosses are really nice and I am pretty picky with lip gloss. :)
Tata Harper Rejuvenating Face Mask – I LOVE this face mask, it’s my favorite one I’ve tried – always makes my skin glow, I usually use it before I go to an event.
Travel
Travel yoga mat – I like the travel mats by Manduka and Jade.
Bluetooth headphones — my wireless Bose headphones have become my best friend. They’re an investment compared to your little white earbuds, but they’re so wonderful…
A great water bottle – essential. Lately I’m loving the ones by S’well — keep your drink cold OR hot. I’ve been putting hot tea in mine. :)
Pop socket for phone – how did I live without one? This outer space one is amazing.
Airbnb gift card – always appreciated by travelers. :)
Airline or hotel gift card – give someone the gift of money toward their next trip.
Journal – always one of my favorite things to receive. I love this peacock journal.
These are the top things that came to mind – I’ll add more as I think of them.
Again, you can see some of my all-time favorite books and products here on my Amazon Influencer page. I’ll be continuously updating this. If you ever want to get direct access to it to see the latest products I’ve added, just go to healthycrush.com/amazon.
Enjoy your holiday season and above all, give the gift of your presence, attention and love. That’s the most important thing in the whole world.
Love,
