Small gifts with big impact:
COOLING TOWELS – Your favorite gym-goer or outdoor enthusiast would appreciate a cooling towel to help them fight the heat. My clients love these: https://amzn.to/3BC4k15
WEIGHTED EYE MASK – This one’s for the person who is serious about their sleep (and their beauty routine). A weighted eye mask can help ease headaches, block out light, reduce stress, and even battle eye puffiness. I love the super soft cover on this one: https://amzn.to/3HybDe2
INSPIRING JEWELRY – A personalized piece of jewelry can serve as a reminder of what matters to them and help motivate, relax, focus and inspire. There are so many options …from a simple charm (like a barbell!) or a pendant with a favorite quote. This is what I gifted to my clients this year: https://amzn.to/3YrqXza
FITNESS DICE – Look these up … they are really neat! Use them for a fast and fun way to get in a workout while you’re at home or on the road. This is a fun set (and bonus they are a small business brand): https://amzn.to/3hqJevP
ESSENTIAL OIL BLENDS – Find the perfect blend of essential oil for your wellness-loving friends. You can find or create blends to help energize and elevate your mood… reduce stress… relieve headaches, and everything in between. These are always a winner! This is my favorite! Organic eucalyptus oil: https://amzn.to/3hqSzDJ
WARM GLOVES – Warm gloves are a much-appreciated gift for anyone who does a lot of outdoor activities (running, biking, dog walking, skiing, etc.). TIP: For optimal warmth, make sure the outer layer is waterproof. The runners in my coaching group really like these: https://amzn.to/3FWjnFC
ORGANIC LIP BALM – We all know someone who always has a stick (or two!) of lip balm in their pockets. Make sure they don’t run out by supplying them with several sticks of their favorites. This fabulous brand is produced right in my hometown: https://amzn.to/3hzRx8q
COFFEE MUG – Make coffee time even more enjoyable with a just-for-them mug featuring their favorite superhero, quote, author, or pastime. My workout group uses this phrase often: https://amzn.to/3FVKlgy
AVOCADO HUGGERS – For your friends who LOVE avocados …these great little covers will keep their avocados fresh for a very long time. These are always a hit! I received these as a gift and absolutely love them: https://amzn.to/3FCKap4
MINDFULNESS CARDS – The gift that keeps on giving. A deck of mindfulness cards is a great way to “bring awareness, calm, and joy to everyday life.” This particular set comes highly recommended: https://amzn.to/3VYsafK
MINI HONEY SET – Nothing makes for a sweeter gift than some delicious, high-quality honey. This gift will last a long time, and is always a winner. Great for anyone on your list. Here is just one tasty option: https://amzn.to/3HFgiLc
New equipment can add excitement to their workouts:
SUSPENSION TRAINER – This is like a gym-in-a-box, perfect for travel or a home workout space, providing both support and added resistance for a variety of exercises. This is the one I use with clients: https://amzn.to/3HAmaFp The original TRX brand is amazing but here is an alternative option that is a bit more budget friendly: https://amzn.to/3FR3X5k
DUMBBELLS – Weights are another home-fitness must. Adjustable dumbbells and kettlebells are a great space-saver. Here is a nice entry level option: https://amzn.to/3BDcGp5 If you’re looking for something a bit higher end this is what I purchased for my own home gym: https://amzn.to/3FVqKx1
QUALITY COACHING – A gift certificate for coaching (online or in person) can help set them up for success in their next goal quest. Of course this list wouldn’t be complete without me including at least some little reference to coaching! Most people looking to improve their fitness and/or nutrition are significantly more successful when working with a qualified coach. Gift certificates for any of my coaching programs are available in any monetary amount. Just email laura@lauragreencpt.com
BOOTY BANDS – These extra-strong looped resistance bands are surprisingly versatile, making squats, lunges, and leg extensions even more effective. Plus, they’re portable, perfect for at-home use or in the gym. This is a great set with several resistance options: https://amzn.to/3PrzaiL
WORKOUT CLOTHES – Who doesn’t love new clothes? There are so many options on the market now, at so many price points. Gift them shorts or leggings, a hoodie, or a workout top (or all of the above!). My fitness training clients enjoy sweat activated tanks like this one: https://amzn.to/3j39c92
PARALETTE BARS – These are mini gymnastics bars that can help boost their strength (especially upper body and core). Plus, they are a fun and challenging way to help them change up their workouts. These are a great option for at home workouts: https://amzn.to/3uToSOS
Great wellness gifts for everyone:
SEAT CUSHION – If they sit on a hard chair all day at work, they might love a seat cushion designed just for home workers. This one includes both a seat and lumber cushion: https://amzn.to/3iZF8ep
HOUSE (OR OFFICE) PLANT – Get them an indoor plant that can help purify the air. Ivy, spider plant, snake plant, and aloe vera are popular easy care options. You can even get them a monthly subscription such as this one: https://amzn.to/3j1qBPs
BLUETOOTH SHOWER SPEAKER – Whether they listen to podcasts, audiobooks, or their favorite songs, they won’t miss a beat with a waterproof shower speaker. This affordable option is my favorite and you can take it along for outdoor adventures as well: https://amzn.to/3V29078
CRAFTY STRESS-BUSTERS – Help them relax and have fun at the same time! Gift them a craft kit or artist supplies that will help them flex their creative muscles. I’m excited to try this candle making kit soon: https://amzn.to/3WoCZHP
LOCAL SERVICE – Hook them up with a gift certificate for housecleaning, meal prep, snow removal, lawn mowing, or any other service that will give them some real downtime on their day off. Services such as Angie’s List and Yelp can help you find a great local provider!
MINI HUMIDIFIER – Dry air is hard on your sinuses and your skin! A mini humidifier can help counteract that – simply fill it up with water and place it on your nightstand or desk … and let it do all of the work for you. I like this one because it’s small enough to tuck into my suitcase when I travel (a good solution to that dry hotel room air!): https://amzn.to/3hv19Bw
Mind and Body Tools to help them find a little more downtime:
MASSAGE GUN – Get a great DIY massage anywhere with the Hypervolt Go 2 Massage Gun. It helps target sore muscles for pain-free movement and faster recovery. This isn’t the least expensive option but my research (and personal use) shows it to be one of the best, plus it’s portable: https://amzn.to/3hmJxYF
BATH BOMBS – Give them a soothing bath bomb or Epsom salts potion to help them soak their hardworking muscles. This pretty set of bath bombs was well received by my family and friends last year: https://amzn.to/3hnAmXT
COZY BEANIE – A natural fiber beanie will help them stay warm after a strenuous workout. Plus, they look fabulous. This one comes in a large variety of color options: https://amzn.to/3W2ddcz
WEIGHTED BLANKET – A weighted blanket does more than keep them feeling warm & cozy. It can help relieve stress, promote relaxation, and help battle anxiety. This is the one we’ve had and enjoyed in our house for years: https://amzn.to/3FuT5Zt. If I were to order a new one I think I’d opt for this highly rated super soft version: https://amzn.to/3BDsng8
MASSAGE – Consider a gift certificate for a massage with a licensed therapist. There are dozens of types of massage, including shiatsu, hot stone, and deep tissue. A chair massage might be a great starting point for someone new to massage therapy. Again, Yelp is a great place to find a good local option. If you’re purchasing for someone far away a basic gift card with a nice note can accomplish the same goal: https://amzn.to/3HChgHY
YOGA STRAPS – A yoga strap can be a helpful tool when it comes to improving flexibility. It can help them to safely go deeper into their stretches while maintaining good form. With so many fun colors available this is a great option: https://amzn.to/3YicGoe
