The season of giving is upon us, and what better way to show you care than with the gift of health and wellness? I've put together a list of my favorite products that make perfect gifts for anyone in your life—whether it's a friend, family member, or even a treat for yourself.
These are small but meaningful luxuries that promote well-being and self-care, and they’re accessible for anyone, no matter their lifestyle or stage in life. So, if you're looking to give a little extra joy, energy, or relaxation this season, these handpicked essentials are sure to bring a smile and lasting benefits. Plus, I've made sure to include a wide variety of prices so that you don't have to break the bank this holiday season. My favourite gifts start at zero, you will see when you get to the bottom!
Here’s to giving the gift of feeling good this season!
1. Bloomable's Medicinal Mushroom Bundle
Of course I'm a bit bias, but for the wellness enthusiast, a Medicinal Mushroom Bundle is a gift that truly keeps giving. Medicinal mushrooms offer numerous benefits, from boosting immunity to enhancing cognitive function and promoting better sleep. What could be better than gifting a healthier, happier season ahead? Medicinal mushrooms are a thoughtful and unique choice that shows you genuinely care about their well-being.
Bloomable's Medicinal Mushroom Bundle is the perfect gift for anyone curious to the natural healing powers of medicinal mushrooms and includes all five of the best-selling medicinal mushrooms - including Lion's Mane for cognition, Turkey Tail for gut health/immunity, Reishi for mood/sleep, Cordyceps for energy/endurance, and Chaga for antioxidants.
Bloomable's Medicinal Mushroom Bundle - $134.95
2. Gratitude Journal
A gratitude journal is a beautiful way to encourage mindfulness. Personally, I’ve found journaling to be grounding, helping me pause, reflect, and appreciate the small joys in life. A journal also serves as a reminder of the ups and downs that shape us, and it’s something people can look back on with gratitude. It's a simple gift that offers lasting benefits, reminding us all to take a moment and say “thank you.”
One of my favorite journals is the "5 Minute Journal" from Intelligent Change. With its simple prompts, it takes just five minutes to fill out, yet it sets a positive, gratitude-filled tone for the rest of the day. It’s an effortless way to start your day with intention and appreciation.
Intelligent Change The Five Minute Journal - $29.00
3. A Nice Water Bottle
If you’re like me, hydration can sometimes take a back burner—especially on busy days. All of a sudden, it's 10 PM and you've realized you've barely had a cup of water. A high-quality water bottle not only helps you stay hydrated but also feels like a little daily luxury. It’s one of those practical gifts that feels like a treat and is something people wouldn’t always buy for themselves. Plus, staying hydrated is key to so many health benefits! For instance, avoiding afternoon crashes, healthy and glowing skin, a good gut system, and so much more.
A water bottle that I would recommend that many of my friends love is this Owala one. It has a straw mechanism so it's easy to drink from and keeps your water nice and cold all day.
Starting at $40.00 on Owala Life.
4. Workout Class Passes
For the fitness lover or someone looking to try something new, gifting a workout class (or a series of classes) to their favorite studio is a thoughtful way to support their wellness journey. Whether it's yoga, pilates, boxing, or a high-energy spin class, an experience-based gift like this encourages them to stay active and engaged. Plus, it’s a fun way for them to enjoy a community and environment they love. A gift card or class pass to a local studio is perfect for the person who values both health and experience over more material gifts.
I would also recommend gifting a Class Pass credit, that way the recipient can try an array of different workout classes. A great way to enter the new year!
5. Year Supply of Mouth Tape
Though unconventional, mouth tape can be a game-changer for anyone looking to improve their sleep quality. Encouraging nose breathing during sleep can help people wake up more rested and feel less fatigued throughout the day. It’s a unique gift that shows you’re thinking outside the box for their wellness.
I've mentioned mouth taping in the past as one of my 'fall favourites'. Even as a nasal breather, I still use mouth tape to help relax my jaw. I've noticed a change in my jawline and feel more energized throughout the day.
A brand I really love is mouth tape from Bouche, a female-founded Canadian brand that I've mentioned a few times in my emails and socials before. I've gifted this mouth tape to friends in the past and it was always well received as they loved the extra luxury feeling that Bouche provides in comparison to other alternatives.
$253.00 for a year supply of Bouche Mouth Tape.
6. Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy has gained popularity for its potential to boost skin health, reduce inflammation, and support muscle recovery. Gifting a series of red light therapy sessions, or even an at-home device, is a thoughtful and unique way to support a loved one's wellness routine. This therapeutic light exposure can be especially beneficial for active individuals seeking faster recovery or anyone looking for a natural way to enhance skin radiance and overall vitality.
Offering the gift of red light therapy is like giving a boost of energy and rejuvenation—perfect for anyone invested in feeling their best.
This might be my most bias recommendation of all, since it's top of my wish list for the holidays.
Starting at $200.00 at Solawave.
7. Theragun Mini for Muscle Relief
The Theragun Mini is the perfect gift for anyone who values muscle recovery or simply needs relief from daily tension. This compact, portable device delivers powerful percussive therapy, helping to soothe sore muscles and release tight knots in minutes. Whether they’re a dedicated athlete or just someone with a busy lifestyle, the Theragun Mini provides quick, on-the-go relief and relaxation.
This thoughtful gift offers the benefits of a professional massage in a small, easy-to-use package, making it a great wellness tool for anyone looking to prioritize self-care and recovery.
$249.00 on Amazon Canada.
8. Mushroom Coffee
Mushroom coffee is a fantastic gift for anyone who loves their daily coffee but is looking for added health benefits. Bloomable’s Mushroom Coffee, featuring a blend of Lion’s Mane, Reishi, and Chaga, offers a smooth and balanced flavor along with functional benefits. Lion’s Mane supports focus and mental clarity, Reishi promotes relaxation, and Chaga provides antioxidant support for overall wellness.
Gifting Bloomable's mushroom coffee is a way to introduce someone to a healthier coffee ritual—one that supports energy, focus, and resilience. Perfect for the coffee lover or wellness enthusiast, this gift combines the warmth of a morning brew with the powerful benefits of medicinal mushrooms.
It's one of my favourite Bloomable products as it's easy to use and absolutely delicious.
Bloomable's Medium Ground Coffee with Lion's Mane, Reishi, and Chaga - $38.95 CAD
9. Tallow Skin Products
Tallow-based skincare products have been making waves lately for their nourishing, hydrating benefits. Tallow is rich in vitamins and fatty acids that are incredibly soothing for dry or sensitive skin, especially in winter. These products are a lovely, natural skincare addition for anyone who appreciates a bit of pampering.
Similar to Bouche, Tallow Twins is a fellow Canadian female-founded company that I absolutely love! It's founded by two twin sisters who have personally experienced the many benefits of Tallow and make all their products hand-made in their studio in Brantford, Ontario.
$120.00 for the Head to Toe Bundle on Tallow Twins.
10. The Intangibles
While physical gifts are lovely, here's a friendly reminder that the most meaningful things we can give often don’t come in packages. Gifts come and go, but it's the intangible gifts of time, energy, and love that make the best gifts and in my opinion, are remembered the longest.
Spending time with the people you love doing simple activities such as puzzling, watching a movie, cookie decorating are the most amazing gifts you can give. At the same time, bringing positive energy and sharing love is what makes people feel fulfilled and truly satisfied in life. At the end of the day, these are the moments that matter—the ones that leave a lasting impact.
In Summary
This year, think beyond the traditional and give gifts that foster wellness, joy, and connection. After all, there’s no better feeling than knowing you’re contributing to someone’s health and happiness.
