We all have friends or family members who are very conscious of their choices and how they relate to their health. From the gadget that catches their eye to the products they put on their body (or in their body as food), they are always on the lookout for healthy and sustainable options.
Admittedly, I am one of those health-conscious individuals (aka a health nut). I love learning about the latest cutting-edge research, trying out new products, or finding ways to change my daily habits to see how they impact my health.
As a fellow health nut, I have curated a list of 22 gift ideas that are sure to make any health enthusiast in your life smile and feel seen.
1. The Nama J3 Juicer
A juicer that can extract everything from fruits and vegetables to wheatgrass and even nuts is a great choice for any health-conscious person. What a great way to boost the immune system during cold and flu season for everyone in the house (in my kitchen, the kids love this tool more than me!).
But not all juicers are equal, and most take up a lot of counter space. This is why I love the Nama J3 Juicer for my small counter. I can easily make delicious and nutritious juices without sacrificing too much space.
The J3 delivers top-tier juicing performance in a more compact form, making it an ideal gift for those with smaller kitchens or those who travel and have on-the-go lifestyles. For those who want a more heavy-duty choice, there is also the bigger J2 to check out.
2. Smart Fitness Watch
There are so many fitness watches on the market that it can be overwhelming to choose one. When I was on the hunt, I didn’t want an Apple watch or Samsung device that synced to my phone. This is because there are large chunks of the day when I don’t want to be connected, but I still want to track my daily activity and health stats. Plus, some people don’t want all the EMFs (electromagnetic waves from wifi and/or data) of a fully connected watch on their wrist 24/7.
That’s why I love the Polar Vantage M3 as a gift option. It is one of the most comprehensive fitness wearables on the market with its built-in GPS, heart rate monitor, and sleep/recovery tracker. Plus, it has a lovely design that can be worn all day without looking out of place.
3. AquaTru Countertop Water Filter (Reverse Osmosis)
The AquaTru Reverse Osmosis Water Purifier is a Christmas gift perfect for anyone wanting to ditch chemical residues in their drinking water. Having this in my own kitchen has been a dream come true, especially since we live in an area with hard water that literally smells like a pool.
This innovative system is designed to remove over 83 contaminants, including harmful toxins, PFAS, and microplastics, from the tap, filtered, and even bottled water, ensuring that every sip is as clean and healthy as possible. It includes long-lasting filters that purify 600-1200 gallons of water (6 to 12 months of use, depending on the household size). It is certified by NSF standards, and the AquaTru purifies water at a level that meets the highest safety benchmarks, providing peace of mind for those who are meticulous about what they consume.
While it may not be as convenient as a full reserve osmosis system (because it requires continual manual chamber filling), it is certainly a low-cost, easy way to quickly improve drinking water quality.
4. Laptop Table
At the end of the day, many of us end up slumping over our phones or computers while watching our favorite shows. Not only does this position negatively affect posture, but it can also cause discomfort in the neck and shoulders.
A laptop table is a great gift for anyone who works or spends a lot of time on their computer, especially when sitting on their couch or other lounge chair. The BDI Serif Laptop Table is a beautiful and chic option that allows them to adjust the height of their screen and keyboard for better ergonomics, reducing strain on the body.
Constructed with robust powder-coated steel and aluminum in white or black (and now with a wooden top!), this table is engineered for durability and elegance. Its standout feature is the pneumatic cylinder, allowing effortless height adjustments to tailor your workspace to your exact needs. Whether it’s a busy workday at home or a relaxing evening on the sofa, this compact table effortlessly transitions between a practical work surface and a chic side table.
5. TIVVI Stick Soap
What health nut doesn’t love a good quality soap free of synthetic fragrances, parabens, and other junk? There are plenty of options on the market for sensitive skin and health-conscious folks, but this stick soap is by far the coolest soap product I’ve seen for its convenience.
TIVVI Stick Soap is a solid soap that comes in a twist-up container with a lid, so it won’t leak in bags or get messy. It’s the perfect new way to use soap for campers, hikers, athletes of all kinds, and people on the go. The soap comes in two scents or unscented and is made with clean, vegan ingredients. I’m using these as stocking stuffers this year for my own family that loves to travel.
6. Whirly Board
This Christmas, surprise your loved ones with something new and fun: the Whirly Board. It is a versatile and innovative balance board that promises health benefits and fun for everyone on your list.
Fitness gurus and outdoor enthusiasts (particularly those who skateboard, snowboard, or wakeboard) will appreciate the Whirly Board’s ability to intensify workouts by incorporating balance training. For kids, the Whirly Board offers an exciting way to burn energy and develop motor skills while improving balance and agility. Even aging adults can also enjoy improved balance and stability, helping to prevent falls and injuries.
The Whirly Board’s unique design incorporates a large center balance ball and two smaller nose and tail balance balls, offering three independent balance points for a wide range of maneuvers and exercises. I personally have this on my wish list to use while standing at my desk half the day to make my work days a little more fun.
7. Avocado Oil (for cooking)
Did you know that some oils are better than others for cooking due to their smoke point or how high the oil can be heated before losing its nutritional value? Avocado oil is one of the best oils for cooking because it has a higher smoke point than olive oil and coconut oil. This makes it suitable for frying, baking, and roasting without oxidizing and becoming toxic (a huge issue with most vegetable oils).
Avocado oil is rich in monounsaturated fats that are heart-healthy and contain antioxidants to reduce inflammation. La Tourangelle’s Avocado Oil is 100% pure and carefully crafted with premium avocados, resulting in a beautiful, emerald green oil that boasts a myriad of health benefits, including hair and skin benefits. It is a healthier alternative to other cooking oils. It’s a great addition as a stocking stuffer or in a basket of goodies.
8. Love and Lemons Feel Good Food (Vegetarian)
Give the gift of culinary inspiration this Christmas with “Love and Lemons: Simple Feel-Good Food,” the perfect present for vegetarian and vegan cooks alike.
I’m a personal fan of this cookbook as a mom. Each recipe has beautiful pictures that help my kids feel involved in choosing a meal. Plus, the mix-and-match recipes for grain bowls, lasagna, and other meals make it practical for catering to different tastes (and what’s in the fridge).
Authored by Jeanine Donofrio, this book offers over 100 tested vegetarian options, ensuring a treasure trove of delicious, plant-based recipes. Whether your loved ones prefer to whip up meals on the fly or plan ahead, this cookbook caters to both cooking styles with its dual approach. Each chapter—ranging from Breakfasts and Salads to Soups, Dinners, and Desserts—is thoughtfully divided into sections for quick, minimal-prep dishes and make-ahead options like customizable lasagnas and packable salads.
9. Fresh Laundry Starter Kit from Truly Free Home
Swapping out toxic laundry products that are bad for the environment for cleaner alternatives can make a meaningful difference in health and well-being, especially for those with allergies or sensitive skin. However, it can be overwhelming to know where to begin when transitioning to natural laundry care. You can help a friend or family member out this season by stocking them with the Fresh Start Laundry Kit from Truly Free Home, a plant-based, non-toxic cleaning and laundry brand
This kit will give your laundry room the detox it needs, making clothing and bedding safe for everyone in the house (even babies!). The kit includes Signature Scent Laundry Wash, Laundry Machine Cleaner (because your washing machine needs cleaning, too!), OxyBoost (a safe bleach alternative for the brightest whites), Enzyme Stain Remover, Stain Stick, and a Laundry Tote.
Literally, everything you need! Buy a few for gifts and get one for yourself, too!
10. Pampered Chef Cupcake Pan
I’m all about meal planning for my family with bulk baking to stay on track with healthy eating. Using a cupcake pan is one of the best ways to portion out our favorite goodies for snacks and breakfast (such as pumpkin muffins, oatmeal bars, egg cups, and more). And having a lid to snap into place makes it that much easier to quickly put away.
Making, storing, and transporting delicious cupcakes and muffins has never been easier! With the Pampered Chef Cupcake Pan & Carrier Set, you can bake, store, transport, and serve your favorite homemade baked goods without making a mess.
When your treats (healthy or not) are ready to travel, place the lid on top of the metal pan and secure the side latches. Grab the handle and head out to your destination! And when you’re ready to serve your treats, place the pan directly on top of the lid. Your baked goods will quickly pop up and be ready for everyone to grab and go without messing up the glaze, icing, or people’s fingers.
11. Estate Olive Oil (as a heart healthy supplement)
I knew olive oil was great for cooking, but I had no idea how beneficial it could be as a supplement! Laconiko ZOI Estate Olive Oil is a quality extra virgin olive oil grown in Sparta, Greece, that boasts the highest polyphenol content among commercially available olive oils. Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants found in plants, and they have been linked to numerous health benefits, including pain relief, anti-inflammation, and cancer prevention.
Zoi, an award-winning (as featured in Forbes, New York Times, and more) estate-grown olive oil, has a higher concentration of Oleocanthal. Oleocanthal is the most researched phenolic compound in olive oil due to its strong anti-inflammatory nature, similar to Ibuprofen. It has cardioprotective, neuroprotective, and antidiabetic properties. It’s a unique stocking stuffer for loved ones who prioritize their health and wellness.
The Pierrakos family, which takes pride in producing this amazing product, recommends taking a daily shot of olive oil to promote good health. You can also add it to juice and smoothies (after it’s blended) or take it with a glass of high-quality red wine to improve absorption (yes, please!).
12. Moss Pure Air Filters
For all the plant lovers on your gift list, this has got to be one of the coolest and unique gifts. These eco-friendly air filters are made from 100% natural moss. Not only do they reduce harmful pollutants in the air, but they also add a touch of greenery to any room. A win-win in my book!
Moss Pure’s live moss air filters are a unique blend of nature and science. Originating from a groundbreaking idea at MIT, Moss Pure is the only company worldwide to utilize live moss as a functional air filter, stress-relief device, and stylish decor piece. Unlike traditional moss decor, which uses preserved or dried moss, Moss Pure’s living moss provides genuine health benefits and requires no watering, sunlight, or maintenance, thanks to its patent-pending, award-winning design. Each square foot of Moss Pure effectively captures 30% of carbon dioxide and 1.5 million particles of toxic pollutants within just two minutes, as verified by a certified U.S. laboratory.
Moss Pure designs are the only plant-based product with certified air quality results.
13. Natpat Patches
Ever heard of Natpat Patches? These nice-smelling stickers have taken the kid’s market by storm but are honestly a fun idea for any age. Essential oils are known for their ability to promote relaxation and improve overall well-being, but they can feel intimidating to buy in bulk and use consistently.
Tailored to support various aspects of a child’s well-being (or anyone’s), these innovative patches are a thoughtful gift that parents will appreciate. The SleepyPatch helps ease children into a restful slumber, the ZenPatch promotes relaxation and calm, while the FocusPatch aids in concentration, making daily routines smoother and more enjoyable. Developed in collaboration with experts and globally recognized, these patches offer an environmentally friendly, natural, and holistic approach to enhancing health.
14. Higher Healths Organ Meat Capsules
Organ meats contain high levels of essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids that support overall health and wellness. Higher Healths uses 100% grass-fed and grass-finished cattle (GMO-free, pesticide/hormone-free) organ meat in their capsules, which is hard to beat.
These organ meat capsules are a great gift for those looking for an easy and effective way to incorporate more nutrient-dense organ meats into their diet without having to source, cook, or taste them directly (isn’t that all of us?). They’re a great way to bridge any nutritional gaps and support optimal health.
They have several different options, but going for the “everything” capsule is the best bet if you’re new to organ meat capsules.
15. Cast Iron Cocotte
Cooking meals in pans and pots that aren’t coated with harmful chemicals is essential for any health nut looking to keep toxins at bay. With Buster + Punch and Staubs Cast Iron Cocotte and Pan, you can cook, bake, serve, and store your favorite dishes without worry.
Elevate the culinary experience for the healthy cooking enthusiasts in your life with the exquisite Buster + Punch and Staub Cookware collection. This luxurious collaboration marries the English fashion home label’s flair for premium solid metal hardware with Staub’s legendary cast-iron cookware expertise. The result is a stunning series that includes a frying pan and Cocotte (sold separately), each adorned with choice knobs in either Brass or Steel, offering a sophisticated touch that stands out in any kitchen.
All I can say is it’s a beautiful addition to any kitchen! It requires no seasoning and can be used for everything from baking sourdough to a hearty winter soup.
16. SOUNDPEATS RunFree Lite2 Open-Ear Headphones
This is a must-have gift for any health enthusiast on your list who loves to run, hike, walk, or be active outdoors.
The SOUNDPEATS RunFree Lite2 open-ear headphones allow you to enjoy music and stay aware of your surroundings at the same time. These Bluetooth headphones sit just outside the ear canal, allowing for clear sound and awareness of any potential hazards or approaching people or animals on the trail.
But these headphones aren’t just for outdoor activities—they are also perfect for indoor workouts. They have an IPX4 sweat-resistant design and a secure-fit in-ear hook that keeps them in place no matter how intense your workout gets. Plus, with 15 hours of battery life, you won’t have to worry about charging them constantly.
17. Tea Affirmations Set
This holiday gift idea combines two of my favorite things: tea and a positive mindset. It is a perfect way to remind people to take a moment for themselves and reflect on their day while enjoying a warm cup of tea.
The Tea Affirmations Set includes a reusable glass jar with an elegant bamboo lid. Inside, find an assortment of 25 tea bags featuring five soothing flavors, such as Lemon Honey, Jasmine, and Chamomile, each crafted to provide a moment of tranquility and warmth.
Ultimately, this offers a daily dose of positivity and self-worth to start the day on the right note. This one is on my list for all my tea lovers, which is most of my family!
18. Dr. Doug’s Miracle Balms Set
If someone on your list is always on the hunt for natural ways to heal and soothe their skin, whether a busy mom, athlete, or self-care junkie, Dr. Doug’s Miracle Balms Bestseller Toolkit is a great gift. These miracle balms are handmade with all-natural ingredients and offer various benefits for the skin, including reducing inflammation, itching, and dryness and promoting healing.
The toolkit includes three of Dr. Doug’s most popular balms: Original (the perfect blend for dry, itchy skin), Magnesium (tension relief and better seep), and Recovery Balm (inflammation and pain relief). Each balm comes in a convenient stick form for easy application on the go.
I personally love the Original for keeping the skin of my whole family (from babies to adults) soft. My husband, an avid runner and biker, loves the Magnesium Balm to help him recover and deal with pesky calf cramping. Anyone who gets these as a gift will love it!
19. Kindle paperwhite
Every health nut has a never-ending list of self-help and wellness books, and the Kindle Paperwhite is a great way to keep that list with them at all times. This device offers the convenience of carrying multiple books in one compact e-reader, perfect for traveling or reading on the go.
The Kindle Paperwhite has a glare-free display, making it easy to read in any lighting conditions. It also has a long-lasting battery life, perfect for reading by the pool or during a relaxing bath. Plus, with access to millions of titles through Amazon’s Kindle store, there’s always something new to read.
20. Annual Function Health Screen
This is the biggest and most splurge-worthy gift idea on this list, and it is the gift that I am giving myself and my husband this year. It’s an annual Function Health screen to get a complete picture of our overall health and identify any potential issues early on. It’s the easiest way to get a comprehensive overview each year of your health and prevent any future health scares.
Investing in your health is one of the best gifts you can give yourself or a loved one. And with this comprehensive annual health screen, you can do just that. So why not make it a holiday tradition? Keep track of your progress each year and see how far you’ve come on your journey towards optimal health and wellness. It’s
Function Health makes it easy to get screened for over 100 biomarkers each year, including heart health, hormone balance, cancer markers, immunity, and much more. And it’s only $499 (a great deal when you consider what one blood draw and single screen usually cost) and is FSA/HSA eligible.
21. A Personal Pampering Day
Who doesn’t need a subtle nudge to have more self-care days? This holiday season, gift your loved ones a personal pampering day at home or spa with all the essentials they need to relax and recharge.
It can include a basket of goodies (including some of the items on this list), ranging from their favorite bath products and candles to snacks and a book. If you really want to ensure they take the time for themselves, consider adding a gift card for a massage or spa treatment.
This personal pampering day encourages your loved ones to take some much-needed “me-time” and indulge in self-care. It’s a great way to show them that their health and well-being are important to you. Plus, it’s a thoughtful and customizable gift for anyone on your list.
22. Grounding Sheets
This final gift is at the top of my husband’s wishlist and definitely something I am considering for him this year: grounding sheets or a mattress pad.
Grounding, supported by over 30 peer-reviewed studies (see more on the product website), offers a multitude of health benefits. From anxiety relief and enhanced sleep quality to gradual improvements in chronic pain, inflammation, and fatigue, the Down To Ground mattress is more than just a sleep aid—it’s a comprehensive wellness tool. It also provides protection from harmful EMFs by providing a safe path for excess charge to dissipate.
