101 Healthy Christmas Gift Ideas for the Ones You Truly Care About

Though there is no doubt your yogi friends would love finding a beautiful new yoga mat under the tree, even asana-avoiding fitness fans would be stoked to get a Jade Yoga Mat.

Made of high-quality sustainable rubber (not synthetic plastics), these eco-friendly mats are durable and offer a wonderful non-slip surface for yoga, Pilates or simple stretching routines. Plus, Jade Yoga plants a tree for each mat purchased! Win-win for your health and the health of the planet!

Take the hum-drum task of toting a yoga mat to the studio and transform it into a chance to make a personalized and ethical fashion statement with a Clever Yoga yoga bag.  Each of these spacious, durable totes is handmade from repurposed fabrics to create a one-of-a-kind piece of functional art.

It’s no secret that fitness buffs go through sneakers like crazy, so if someone on your list is checking off a 5K, Cross-Fit competition or new karate belt test every time you turn around, chances are they can always use more pairs of tennis shoes!

We love this pair by Inkkas!  They have an adorable black-and-white pattern, are super lightweight and entirely vegan!  Plus, just like with Jade Yoga, above, Inkkas plants a tree for each purchased pair!

Like sneakers, high-quality workout leggings are a necessary staple in any fit woman’s wardrobe.  She basically cannot have enough of them, which means you can basically never go wrong gifting her another pair!

In the cold winter months, we love the idea of gifting this pair of simple black thermal leggings by Tesla.  They are highly-rated and their thermal lining makes them excellent for outdoor workouts, snowy hikes or even just running errands on frigid mid-January afternoons.

If someone you’re shopping for doesn’t have a fully-stocked home gym, a set of dumbbells can make an excellent gift!

You can pick up a set that weighs 2-5 pounds more than the heaviest set you know they have!  Or, if you know they are just starting out with home weightlifting, you can treat them to this awesome, professional-grade block dumbbell set from PowerBlock (weight range 5-50 pounds).

Many of us forget the simple, effective and fun workout that jump roping can be when we pack up our elementary school trapper-keepers!  But you can remind someone of jump roping’s childhood whimsy by slipping a rope under the tree for them!

We love the WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope, which uses a high-quality, coated metal rope and high-grade metal ball bearings for a smooth swing with lots of momentum.

Hula hooping, in and of itself, is fabulous core and cardio workout!  But you can up the ante by hooping with a weighted hoop, like this one from The Spinsterz.

The weight adds oomph to the core toning, makes each workout session a more effective calorie burn, and lets you call the hoop a “large circular dumbbell” if anyone gives you a hard time about gifting a children’s toy for the holidays!

This is a perfect gift for those fitness fans on your list who either aren’t a fan of traditional cardio gym equipment or who need lots of different workout options to keep from getting bored with their routine!

As a kid, all you cared about on a sledding trip was the thrill of the cold, the fresh snow and the swoosh of the sled zipping down the hill!

But sledding is actually a good workout -- between using your core to steer, dragging sleds (personed or not!) about, and climbing up the snow-covered hill, again and again, you’ve got every muscle in your body involved in a successful sledding outing!  

Why not gift the fun and the fitness with a new, high-quality wooden sled, like this one from Flexible Flyer?

Know someone who loves -- or better yet, used to love -- roller skating?  Think about picking them up a new pair of skates!

We love these cute retro skates from Cal 7!

Trampolines let you bounce stress away while getting fabulous cardio and leg workout to boot!

You get more height and fresh-air with a full-sized outdoor trampoline, of course, but we love the idea of buying a mini-indoor version (like this one by JumpSport 220) for the holidays since most of the country is just too darn cold to be doing any backyard bouncing right now!

Plus, mini-trampolines are great for those who don’t have much yard space year-round or those with a need for a de-stressing tool in their home office!

Whether a competitive cyclist or the occasional bike-lane commuter, everyone who owns a bicycle should have a high-powered bike light to make sure they can see and be seen if they end up on the roads or trails after dark.

The best light on the market according to cyclists?  The BLITZU Gater 320.

The cyclers on your list already have a solid bike light?  Maybe they need a new bike bell to help make sure they can make themselves heard in traffic instead?  

We love this cute retro-style bronze bell by Crane, but there are literally thousands of bike bells out there so you can find the perfect match for your listee’s bike and personality!

New Year’s is coming.

And the resolutions will follow!

If you know someone on your list is planning to make a fitness, health or wellness resolution for 2019, you can help them stay on track by giving them a motivational smartphone case they’ll see every day

Case Pool has a whole series of motivational cases you can browse to find the perfect quote or quip!

Fitness goals are best reached with a structured plan!  And what better way to organize and stick to a plan than to have it all laid out on a calendar?

We love the idea of using a fitness-themed calendar, like this one from Zazzle, with monthly motivational quotes to organize workouts, races and other fitness goals all in one place!

Ever wondered why the Danes are the happiest people in the world?  According to Meik Wiking, the CEO of The Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen, it just might be because of hygge -- the Danish concept of enjoying (and creating) comfort, coziness and simple pleasures in everyday life.

A compact little book, The Little Book of Hygge explores the basics of how the Danes think of hygge and how you can hygge-fy your life, even if you don’t call Denmark home!

This great gift option for those interested in minimalism, philosophy, happiness research or world cultures!

Much like the Danes are famous for being happy, the Japanese are famous for living long, healthy lives!  And according to author Hector Garcia, this has much and more to do with the Japanese concept of ikigai, or “purpose.”

Ikigai explores how the longest-living communities in Japan eat, exercise, work, build healthy communities and find that all-important purpose.

This great gift option for those interested in minimalism, philosophy, happiness research or world cultures!

This New York Times and Amazon bestseller by Dr. Michael Greger, the founder of NutritionFacts.org, How Not to Die explores the science linking what we eat to our risk of the most common chronic diseases in the western world: heart disease, diabetes, dementia, depression, kidney disease, and cancer.

Extensively cited, this book is a great resource for those wanting to delve into the nitty-gritty of nutritional biochemistry while being written in simple enough language to be accessible to those new to health science.

Someone on your list declared their resolution for 2019 to be more mindful?  This is the perfect book to put under their tree!

With 75 short mindfulness exercises that the reader can work easily into their everyday life, Practicing Mindfulness by Matthew Sockolov is an excellent, practical and accessible guide to living a more mindfully.

It’s never too early to start protecting your brain from age-related declines in cognitive function!  And this unique puzzle book can help you do that with over a year’s worth of brain teasers and puzzles to challenge your brain and keeping firing on all cylinders. (Ha! See what we did there?)

399 Games is a great stocking stuffer idea for anyone on your list who’s worried about becoming forgetful as they get older… or anyone who enjoys puzzles!

The Psychobiotic Revolution by Scott Anderson is popular science literature at its finest!  It weaves together threads from evolution, neurobiology, neurology, microbiology and immunology to explain how scientists came to understand the tight links between the health of the human gut and the human brain!

A fascinating read for anyone on your list who likes subjects that end in “-ology”!

Whether you live in a flat with a balcony or have a family and garden that generates large amounts of food and green waste, How to Make and Use Compost shows you how to compost everything that can be composted — at home, work, or school, and in spaces big or small.

It’s a great resource (and, therefore, a great gift!) for anyone interested in composting, gardening, green kitchens or sustainable agriculture.

Have a crafty friend who loves natural health and beauty products?  200 Tips is the book for them!

It has, as the name suggests, a full 200 tips, tricks, and recipes that will guide them through all the practicalities of making their own organic beauty products right at home.  It’s like gifting them the key to an organic Sephora shop in their own living room!

Know someone whose job or school forces them to run through stack after stack of tree-destroying paper notebooks?  Why not get them a reusable notebook, like this one from Rocketbook, instead?

It lets them write and draw just like they would in a paper notebook.  But when they’re done, the notebook blasts everything straight to their Google Drive, Dropbox, OneNote, Box, Slack, iCloud or email so they can access it anywhere!  Less paper, more organized -- sounds like a win-win to us!

If medical research has made any one thing clear over the last decade it’s that sleep, especially good quality sleep, is far, far more important for our health than we could have possibly imagined!  Metabolic health, immune health, mental health, digestive health, cardiovascular health -- they’re all wrapped up in how well we sleep!

Gift someone you care about a better night’s sleep with a white noise machine to help them relax and block out street traffic noises!  We love this one with rave user reviews from LectroFan!

Wireless workouts for the win!  Whether your giftee spins, lifts or runs, they’ll be a fan of having their kick-butt motivating music without needing to worry about wire tangles!

We recommend the high powered and sleek Enacfire Bluetooth Wireless Earbuds!

Fitness trackers are the coolest new thing in the health world!  Keep track of workouts, calories burned, heart rates, stress levels, and sleep schedules effortlessly and, with the ShaWuJing tracker at least, stylishly!

This is a great gift for those new to fitness, those who are working towards very specific workout or health goals and those with just general A-type personalities!

Charge phones anywhere, anytime, without a single drop of fossil-fuel-generated-electricity by whipping out this portable solar panel phone charger!  It’s the perfect stocking stuffer for wild adventurers who are always on the go and green-living enthusiasts looking for creative ways to reduce their carbon footprint!

Ideal for holding backpacking supplies, as well as hiking, biking, or camping, this light, portable pack by ECEEN can also hold and charge all your small mobile essentials via an attached mini-solar panel.  Awesome for any tech-savvy outdoorsman on your list!

Watches are statement pieces and if you know someone who wants to say, “green living is my priority!” this is the watch for them!  The band is handmade from natural bamboo.  It is environmentally friendly, sustainably produced and completely non-toxic.

Many people think of sunglasses as summertime wear, but if you live at high altitudes, sunglasses can be a huge boon in the winter, too.  They protect your eyes from harmful UV radiation coming from the sun and bouncing off the snow!

If someone on your list is in need of some winter-UV eye protection, why not pick them up these unique, eco-friendly bamboo sunglasses, rather than a traditional plastic-framed pair!

Nothing says comfort on a cold winter's night like getting cozy in warm jammies and sipping some tea or cocoa.  

Of course, any soft, cuddly jammie set would technically do the trick, but we’re personally obsessed with this sleepwear line from Raven & Crow that is fair trade and made from 100% organic cotton and sustainable bamboo!

Odds are someone on your list has a hankering to give essential oils and aromatherapy a go!  Why not give them a hand by buying them an essential oil starter kit with a handful of small bottles of a variety of oils?

There are tons of options out there and many of them are excellent but we, personally, recommend the 6-pack starter kit from Plant Therapy. Their oils are not only organic and top quality, but their business is family run and dedicated to sustainable production methods and giving back to their community.

Essential oil diffusers take essential oils from personal care to all-day, whole room aromatherapy!

We’re huge fans of this super sleek wooden diffuser that looks amazing with any decor and has some of the best customer and customer service reviews we’ve ever seen!

Easy aromatherapy on the go?  This beautiful locket by AromaLux London makes it not only possible, but stylish and easy -- a great go-to gift for the essential oils pro on your list!

Cute, practical, eco-friendly, printed nylon reusable shopping bags are an awesome shopping staple everyone should have!  If you know someone on your list doesn't, pick them up one (or more) of these adorable choices from BAGGU.  (We’re serious fans of the lemon print, but there are dozens of others to choose from, too!)

One-time-use sandwich baggies are seriously bad-news-bears for the environment! Help someone on your list ditch them by gifting them a set of eco-friendly reusable silicone sandwich bags, like these from Homelux!   

Make sure no one’s packing reusable, eco-friendly sandwich baggies in a disposable paper or plastic bag when they head off to work or school by sticking a beautiful eco-friendly lunchbox under their tree!

We love this one by BentoHeaven that’s made from naturally sustainable bamboo wood!

Plastic wrap and aluminum foil are so practical for covering leftovers to eat later, keeping you from wasting food.  But the wraps themselves are not that great for the environment! Stick a set of reusable beeswax food wraps under the tree this year and help someone make their food-saving efforts even greener!

We recommend checking out this set by Bee’s Wraps.

Do you know someone who comes home from the store with a terribly guilty conscious about the mountain of one-use produce bags in their trash bin?  Help them assuage their guilt this holiday season by wrapping up a set of reusable mesh produce bags they can use instead!

We adore this set of five different sizes from Naturally Sensible!

It’s estimated that Americans use (and throw away) around 390 million plastic straws each day.  That’s a ton of one-time-use-plastic that makes its way into the environment and can do all kinds of damage!

Give your environmentally-conscious friends and family an alternative straw option with a pack of reusable straws!  There are dozens of brands and styles made out of everything from glass to silicon to bamboo, but we’re fans of metal straws!  There is no risk of them breaking or bending!

Try this 4-pack from Yihong which are not only reusable food-grade stainless steel, but have cute silicon tips to prevent accidental clanking against your teeth or temperature changes in the straw being uncomfortable for your lips!

Toothbrushes might seem like a lame gift, but those with a passion for green living will love these bamboo-based toothbrushes from Brush with Bamboo.  They are sustainably produced and free of the additives and chemicals found in plastic toothbrushes.

We are firmly of the opinion that one cannot have enough blankies!  And we know plenty of you agree with us (perpetually cold people of the world, unite!)

This throw blanket by Super Cozy is made of 100% sustainably-produced bamboo fibers and has a pretty, soft pastel color, making it an awesome eco-friendly idea for the person on your list who’s always rocking wool socks and blanket scarfs!

Commercial dryer sheets keep your clothes free of static and smelling fresh, but they are pretty wasteful and can be overflowing with synthetic chemicals, additives and fragrances!  Dryer balls offer a much greener alternative for pulling clothes fluffed and fresh out of the dryer!

We adore these cute dryer balls from Friendsheep made with organic wool!

Most of us use a mouse for work or play every single day and never think about the fact that it is, typically, made nearly exclusively out of plastic!  If you know someone who’s in the market for a new computer mouse or who’s planning to buy a whole new computer set up soon, get them an eco-friendlier alternative this holiday season with a bamboo mouse!

Bamboo is lightweight and durable, making it a great option for creating mobile little computer mice, but it is sustainable and eco-friendly!

We’re fans of this little wireless bamboo mouse by SNGU!

Far too many of us spend far too many hours sitting at computer desks.  While it can’t undo all the damage daily 10-hour bouts of sitting do to the body, an exercise ball desk chair can at least help reduce it!

We love this one by LuxFit because the ball detaches from the chair base so it can be used for workout routines as well!  It would make a great gift for anyone who works a desk job, but especially those that struggle with lower back pain from their hours of sitting!

Air pollution is no joke for our health. It can increase our risk of allergies, asthma, lung infections and even cardiovascular disease.

If someone in your life lives in a big city or near an industrial production site, they’ll certainly sleep easier at night if they know the air in their home is being filtered and purified!

We recommend this purifier by Levoit!

Any city-dwellers on your list struggle to sleep well at night? They might benefit from a set of blackout curtains that stop all street lights, car lights and traffic lights from shining in their windows when they are trying to catch some z’s!

Best blackout curtains on the market? NICETOWN Blackout Panels!

Gift someone the fun and flavor of healthy organic herbs with this all-in-one herb garden kit. Great for those new to gardening or kids who’ll love watching the plants grow before they get to eat them!

Fresh produce and herbs grown inside with no need for messy pots of soil! Sounds perfect to us!

And it’s yours to gift with a hydroponic garden kit, like this one from DreamJoy! A great idea for garden lovers and those passionate about sustainable food production but who live in a cold climate that keeps them from gardening all year round.

Who doesn’t like giving two gifts at once like you can with these cool plantable pencils?

First, the giftee gets a whole pack of high-quality pencils to use at work or school! Then, when they’ve sharpened them down to a stub, they can plant them and enjoy watching a garden of flowers and herbs sprout up!

Practical! Fun! And green!

A January full of luxurious, heavenly- and summery-scented showers sounds like a dream gift to us!

Make it a reality with this delectable sweet orange vanilla body wash from The Honest Company.  Not only does it smell absolutely amazing, but the ingredients are also 100% natural, organic, hypoallergenic and cruelty-free!

If you’re stuck on what else to stick in someone’s stocking, you can never go wrong if you reach for a lip balm!  

Opt for balms that are natural and organic to make sure everyone on your list will feel, and be, safe using them!  We recommend this set by Sky Organics that has six rich flavors you can either give as a pack or split up and give out individually.

If you thought warm, heavenly-scented showers were a delightful gift for the middle of the winter, wait until you get a load of warm winter baths with a bath bomb!  Self-care (and warmth!) at its finest!

We love the idea of gifting a whole set of natural bath bombs, like this one from LifeAround2Angels, that contains a full 12 bombs with different scents and colors!

At home spa nights just wouldn’t be the same without a face mask!  But many of the commercial face masks are loaded with nasty synthetic chemicals!  Give the facial-lovers in your life a natural face mask alternative that they can feel good about using during their next pampering session!  

We’re fans of the Dead Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Mask from Aria Starr Beauty!

Winter can do a number on skin -- drying it out and making it itchy and uncomfortable.  The best way to keep that from happening is regular moisturizing with a highly-nourishing body butter, like this one from 100% Pure.  It could make an awesome stocking stuffer for anyone you know struggles with dry skin in the cold winter months!

Eye masks are great self-pampering tools!  They can help you relax, get better sleep and, if you sew soothing dried lavender blossoms inside the mask, ease headaches and stuffy noses!  Who on your list couldn’t use that?

We love this lavender eye mask from ASUTRA for its high-quality, the fact that its lavender is in a removable pouch and that it comes with a free cooling gel eye mask!

No decadent bath, mud-mask-donned junk-TV binge or home-spa day would be complete without aromatherapy candles.  Make sure everyone is all stocked up on these self-pampering essentials this holiday season with these packs of three organic, vegan aromatherapy candles from Caitlins Home!

Okay, you should probably spend some time thinking about how anyone you’d be tempted to buy massage oil for would react to getting it from you -- there could be some epic awkwardness if you read it wrong!

But for relationships where you’re sure it wouldn’t be cringe-inducing, essential oil infused organic massage oil can be a great present for making someone’s spa days even more relaxing!  

We’re fans of Sacred Earth Botanicals’ Organic Arnica Massage Oil.

No chef’s kitchen (even an amateur chef's kitchen) is complete without a giant set of high-quality knives!

This one is professional grade and, good news for you, totally affordable!

Another kitchen staple every foodie should have at least one or two of: cast iron skillets!  They are great for sauteing stir-frys, frying up eggs, baking desserts and everything in between!

We love this skillet by Lodge because it’s high-quality and made in the USA by a company dedicated to using eco-friendly production methods and sustainable packing materials!

This kitchen gadget is less a foodie essential and more a whimsical why-not!  Instead of mincing or pressing garlic, this stainless-steel garlic rocker lets you “rock” your garlic into tiny pieces.  Its curved form has a grate at its apex that dices up garlic when you rock it back and forth with your hand!

A fun stocking stuffer for anyone on your list who already has all the major kitchen tools they could want!

The baker on your list will love this set of reusable silicone baking mats! Not only are they eco-friendly and super practical, they also help distribute the oven’s heat so baked goods bake faster. Plus, their non-stick surface means pans don’t have to be greased with butter or oil, so any food cooked on them gets a little health boost!

Happen to know someone who loves both baking and yoga?  They’ll love this adorable set of yoga pose cookie cutters from Yummi Yoga!

Quick, perfectly cooked eggs in the push of a single button -- healthy breakfasts have never been easier.  Gift this rapid egg cooker to anyone with a hectic morning schedule to give them no excuse to eat that donut!

Hands-off cooking is a boon to anyone trying to balance healthy eating and a chaotic home, work and social life!  Just drop in the ingredients you want to cook while you do something else, set appropriately and walk away!

We’re huge fans of this one from Instapot!

We all know deep frying food makes it really bad for us.  But man, oh, man, do deep fried foods taste good!

Enter air fryers, like this gem from Farberware!  They use far, far less oil to create treats just as tasty as the full-fat versions.

This is an awesome gift idea of anyone on your list who’s trying to eat healthier but just can’t deny their weak spot for fried foods every now and again!

Steaming foods is one of the healthiest ways to prep them, ever!  Make it easier for someone on your list by wrapping up an automatic food steamer like this one from Hamilton Beach for them.  It lets you just add the food (up to two-tiers of them!) set the time on the simple touchpad screen and walk away!

Everyone thinks of blenders as smoothie making tools, and they are, but they also come in really handy for making other healthy dishes, like whole-food salad dressings, natural pasta sauces and fruity sorbets.

If someone on your list doesn’t have a high-powered, high-quality blender, like a NutriBullet, they are missing out on all kinds of healthy meal options!  

Probiotics and probiotic foods, like yogurt, are really having their moment in the sun!

If one of your friends is a huge fan of yogurt (or probiotics in general), they’ll love getting a homemade yogurt maker so they can choose their own consistency, milk base and avoid any and all artificial preservatives and flavorings to boot!

We recommend this yogurt maker from Gourmia!

Many of us think about compost and composters as a great gift for gardeners, but they can also be a great gift for foodies!  It gives them a creative, eco-friendly way to dispose of all their cooking scraps, so they don't end up in landfills.

If the chef doesn't want to use the soil created to garden themselves, they can pass it onto a farmer or gardener or even just dump it in their backyard.

Our favorite indoor compost bin is this sleek stainless steel model from Epica!

Much less socially risky than massage oil but just as muscle-relaxing, a myofascial release tool is a great gift for anyone that struggles with backaches or regular post-workout muscle soreness.

Like the foam rollers which were all the rage this year, myofascial release tools help work out tight knots and in muscles but they offer a more concentrated and effective pressure.

We recommend the Mobility Orb from Pro Tech Athletics!

Acupressure mats look like some kind of cruel torture device but they are actually insanely relaxing.  The spikes on the mat (and pillow, if you want!) sends a flurry of signals through the nervous system, helping release muscle tension.  This is a great gift idea for anyone on your list that suffers regular neck, back or leg pain!

If you’re looking for a great brand, we recommend this high-quality mat-pillow set from Pro-Source!

If you’ve never tried a grain-filled microwavable heating pad, you are missing out.  Microwaving the grain creates a gentle, damp heat that sinks gloriously through sore muscles and warms you to the core.

Plus, the bags are naturally weighted (with all the grain) and mold to your body, which puts gentle, relaxing pressure on the joint or area you’re heating.

Anyone you know who struggles with sore muscles or headaches will love you forever for gifting them one of these!

You can make one yourself or snap up a pre-made one, like these adorable heating pads from Caylee’s Creations.

Wearable headache relief that won’t slow up your day?  Sounds too good to be true but this heating and cooling compression cap from ICEKAP makes it a reality!

If any of your friends or loved ones struggle tension headaches or migraines, they’ll be thrilled to find this quirky, pain-relieving cap in their stocking!

Weighted blankets, like this amazing one from Quilitiy, are basically giant, squishy hugs.  They are warming, comforting, help relieve anxiety and stress, and improve sleep.  

We can’t think of any reason someone wouldn’t be thrilled to find one of these under the tree for them!  Good luck getting them out from under it to go have your huge holiday dinner, though!

Perfect for recuperating from exercise, getting rid of aches and pains or just staying toasty on frigid winter nights, a heated mattress pad is an awesome addition to anyone’s bedding!

We’re in love with the one from Sunbeam!

Self-care isn’t all about physical health.  It’s also about taking care of mental health and managing stress levels.  

And coloring is fantastic stress relief!

Why not gift someone on your list hours of stress-relieving child-like coloring fun with a grown-up coloring book, like this one, that has complex designs challenging enough to keep adults in the coloring-zone for hours at a time!

A whole box of healthy snacks appearing, magically, on your doorstep every month!  Sounds like a great gift to me! And Urthbox makes it possible!

Candles are a wonderful winter-weather pick me up and an awesome, if simple, stocking stuffer idea!  Want to do something a little bit more unique than picking up that amazingly scented Bed, Bath & Beyond candle and slipping it a stocking, though?  Try making a couple of candles for them yourself!

Here is an awesome guide for DIY candles in, above all things, stunning recycled teacups, to help you get started!  (Oh! And don’t forget you can add any essential oils you want to make your adorable DIY candle an aromatherapy treat, as well!)

Natural beauty fans will swoon over finding handmade, organic, essential-oil-scented solid perfume in their stocking!  Pack it into a drop-dead gorgeous retro-style locket (like this one from Mint Jules) for easy travel and cuteness bonus points, as well!

Potholers are a necessity, but they aren’t always necessarily cute!  If you’ve got some basic knitting and sewing skills, though, you can totally fix that by making these incredibly adorable, customizable potholders by Knitbug!

They make a great gift for bakers and foodies who already have all the fancy gadgets they could want!

Holiday presents don’t have to be physical gifts!  They can also be experiences and promises to spend time together!

One idea we love is booking a spa day for you and a friend or love one to just relax be pampered, and leave the stresses of everyday life behind you!

Book a local spa you both like or check this list to see any of the best spas in the country are near you.  (If not, you could always make the spa day a road trip!)

Prices will vary by spa, travel distance and length of stay.

Winter can be cold and miserable.  But it can also be breathtakingly beautiful and, of course, the best time to book snow-sport-centered vacations!  Embrace the snow and cold and book a Rocky Mountain Ski vacation for you and someone (or multiple someones) on your list!

Here is an excellent resource for hunting down the best ski resort for you!

Prices will vary.

Just not a winter person?  High-tail it someplace fabulously warm, instead, for some wonderful winter surfing!  There are dozens of stunning surfing destinations, but for mid-winter, we recommend the relatively affordable Canary Islands or Barbados!

Prices will vary.

If you find a marathon that will take place next and sign yourself and whoever else in your life has “complete marathon” on their bucket list, you’ll have given them months’ and months’ worth of gifts.  You can train together, struggle together, run the race together and enjoy all the memories together for the rest of your lives!

Check out this calendar of all the 2019 marathon races in the United States to find the perfect fit!

Prices will vary.
