It’s easy to get overwhelmed with the holidays, let alone feel like you’re at a loss when it comes to finding something “perfect” for that special someone, especially someone who is health-conscious.
Oftentimes, you realize you’re only a week out from Christmas Day and have no good ideas. You scramble just to have “something”….but feel like there’s no real meaning or function to it, and it falls flat.
We certainly don’t advocate for more “stuff” just to have more “stuff”. Truth be told, none of us really need ANYTHING, and to have a house full of clutter and meaningless crap – well, it’s clutter for your mind just as much.
With that said, if you can find some cool gift ideas that have form and function, don’t collect dust in the corner and can have usefulness each day, then let’s consider that a win for holiday gift-giving!
Here at the Athlete Lab, chances are that the tribe you hang out with, whether it’s friends or family, have the same health-conscious life as you do. We know that’s not 100% true for everyone, but we hope that your immediate circle of peeps strive for a high quality of life just like you.
What better way to spread the holiday cheer than to consider some of these cool gift ideas that can actually help you or someone else FEEL better. Enjoy!
1.) A Gorrilla Mat for the home.
Go big or go home they say. Well, you can have both!
A BIG Gorilla Mat at HOME. There’s plenty of room to get your “bendy” on. Pick a yoga app to follow or grab some kettlebells and hit the floor on this thing!
2.) Senita Athletics workout tights.
What woman doesn’t love black workout pants with a high waist? None of that “hiking up your pants” nonsense….yet, some styles like this can completely break the bank. Not so with Senita Athletics High-waisted Black Workout Pants.
Say what? $39 bucks with 5-star reviews?! Yes, please.
With kick butt workouts come rest and relaxation. The next two gift ideas hit just that mark.
3.) Alaska Bear sleep mask.
Did you know deep sleep is your best recovery strategy? Making sure your sleep cycles hit those deep brain waves is absolutely crucial for muscle recovery, mood regulation and feeling like you can tackle every day like a all-star. This happens best between 10:00 pm and 2:00 am.
But, how do you maximize recovery? Get a sleep mask from Alaska Bear. They’re seriously not messing around when it comes to total blackout, uninterrupted sleep. Snore away!
4.) Vitruvi stone diffuser.
Rest and relaxation gift idea #2 allows the senses to come alive. While at home or at the office, this gorgeous (yet discreet) stone diffuser from Vitruvi will do the trick. White or black, they’re both understated and artisan-like. A perfect way to add essence to someone’s space without it being obtrusive.
5.) Fitvine wine.
….and last but not least, how can you and your favorite people spread holiday cheer while enjoying a drink or two? With FitVine of course!
With a tagline “We Crush Grapes. You Crush Life.” ….we’re IN!
FitVine is a great party gift or dinner accompaniment with less sugar, few sulfites and no flavor additives. The perfect wine for fitness fanatics.
Cheers!
The Athlete Lab wishes you all a joyous and peaceful holiday.
May you continue to strive for optimal health, practice gratitude every day, and bring kinship to others.
These are the greatest gifts of all!
