Wellness gifts are not for health and fitness fans alone. Everyone can enjoy the good wishes of a better day and some of the tricks nature has to offer.
Choosing the right wellness gift starts from intention and an understanding of your recipient’s way of life.
1. SUPPORT. Do you want to support someone on his or her journey to wellness? This may be the easiest type to gift, as you are there to complement an existing lifestyle.
2. SHARE. Do you want to share products that have helped you? Tread carefully; present products that don’t project your own beliefs on someone else’s. Choose something middle-ground, like a plant, or something enjoyable, like chocolate, or practical, like a water bottle, to be safe.
3. HELP. Do you want to help someone get started on a healthier way of life? Only if you know you are welcome, then go ahead and help find the resources or components needed for that push.
In any case, choose with love. It’s hard to go wrong that way. Try one of these:
1. Aquazorb towel
After a good workout, a refreshing shower feels great. An Aquazorb towel is a smart addition to one’s gym (or yoga or training) bag. It’s very absorbent, which means you’ll soon be saying goodbye to heavy, hefty inconvenient types. It’s lighter and smaller and just works so much better.
Price: P330 for a regular sized towel (120 cm x 65 cm); check here for store locations
2. Fitbit Zip Wireless Activity Tracker
There are many activity trackers out there, and sometimes, something small and basic is all that’s needed to get the job done. This Fitbit model tracks steps, distance, and calories burned – info that can be synced to the computer and mobile phone. There’s even a social component for challenging friends. For the loved one who has fitness goals to reach, this is a cool, tiny, techie piece of motivation.

5. All is Well oil and balm, Zenutrients
The copywriting is genius, I must admit. Reading the words “All is well. It starts with believing” is the beginning of the healing experience. It is an all-around mood lifter and pain reliever due to its aromatic essential oils: peppermint, eucalyptus, white tea, lemongrass, vetiver, ginger and, tea tree. It’s minty kind of bliss to calm down the nerves and relax tensions away.

Aromatic herbs and essential oils make a hot/cold compress therapy a more uplifting experience.

7. Honey Pops, Milea
Honey is the best thing when it comes to soothing the throat. Now replace that that therapeutic function with the convenient form of a lollipop. Suck it in your mouth for throat irritation relief, or stir it in tea or hot lemon water. Kids can enjoy this as well, especially when they have coughs.

8. Pure unsweetened chocolate by Malagos Chocolate
Can we count the benefits of pure chocolate? We’re not talking about the supermarket-ready candy bar, but the real deal: unsweetened and pure.
Chocolate can help cut the risk of heart problems and stroke, can prevent diabetes, and reduces stress. Plus, dark chocolate lessens food cravings!
It is said that at least 65% pure chocolate is required to reap these benefits, and your wellness-conscious friend will appreciate being able to control her chocolate and sugar content. Pure chocolate recipes are aplenty and can certainly be festive: think warm hot choco, baked goodies, or even chocolate-infused liqueur.

10. Water Bobble (filtered water bottle)
The Bobble is fine innovation in the everyday act of drinking: it’s a reusable drinking bottle with its own water filter. It uses a carbon filter that removes organic contaminates from regular sources of water, like an unsure water fountain.
It’s handy to take to workouts and bike trips—and you know you’re not hurting the environment by staying away from plastic bottles, too.
