Fitness Journal:

In today’s times, where there are hundreds of devices and online fitness trackers to help one keep track of their fitness, a fitness journal may seem like an outdated gifting idea. But believe us, a fitness journal is an extremely useful tool for anyone starting their fitness journey. Like they say, sometimes it is best to do things the old-school way. Studies show that physically writing out your health and fitness goals is far more effective and motivating. So, a fitness journal is a great gifting idea to help people you love to grow on their fitness journey.

Nutri Bullet:
 
 
Someone has rightly said good health begins in the kitchen, and nothing makes for a better healthy Diwali gift than a NutriBullet. A NutriBullet is a single-serve blender which is great for making fruit and veggie-packed smoothies. It is also handy to make dips, salad dressings, sauces and cocktails. Enhanced with Bluetooth technology and a mobile app, the NutriBullet also helps to effortlessly track all the ingredients, their nutrients, and calories going into the supercharged smoothies. A small but mighty gift, NutriBullet is an ideal not just for the health nut in your life but for all your dear ones.
 
Acupressure Mats & Pillows:

 

The best way to show the people you cherish that you care for them, is to gift them a set of acupressure mats and a pillow. A daily self-care tool, acupressure mats and pillows give similar results as acupressure massages, and aid in mind and body relaxation. Acupressure mats contain several hundred plastic points that apply pressure to many acupressure points in the back. There are also acupressure pillows that can be used on the neck, head, hands, or feet. Now, who won’t like to receive such a rejuvenating gift!

Smart Water Bottle:

A water bottle may not really sound like the fancy gift you had in mind for your loved ones. However, a smart water bottle is worth every penny if you want someone to keep up with their healthy habits, like drinking water regularly andstaying hydrated. Proper hydration is the key to keeping our bodies functioning properly, our skin glowing and staying upbeat all day long. But with our busy day-to-day life, we often forget a simple act like drinking enough water in a day. A smart water bottle will help track your daily intake of water. Moreover, it sends alerts to drink water if you have not sipped enough water in a while. Some of the latest versions of smart water bottles also come with features like self-cleaning UV technology, charging ports for other devices, and even a Bluetooth speaker. A perfect gift is an understatement for this one.

Electric Handheld Massager:

Aches and pains have become a part of life these days, hence an electric handheld massager can prove to be a great gift for your near ones. A good quality handheld massager can activate muscles, improve blood circulation, relieve tension, and provide instant relief from the pain. Trust us, the smile of relief on your friends and family’s face once they use this device will be totally worth it.

White Noise Machine:
 
 
A white noise machine is a unique gift to ensure your favourite people’s well-being. A white noise machine is a device that produces a noise that calms the listener, which in many cases sounds like a rushing waterfallor wind blowing through trees, and other serene or nature-like sounds. So, help your friends and family catch a good night snooze with this easy-to-use gadget.
 
Indoor Plant:
 
 
Simple and thoughtful, indoor plants not only make for great gifting options, but also provide several health benefits. Research shows that house plants absorb carbon dioxide, filter pollutants, release oxygen and can help with air purification, especially in areas where air quality may be in question. Breathing cleaner air also helps one think clearer, calms stress, and reduces the risk of asthma. Easy to maintain and instant mood uplifters; indoor plants are indeed a great solution to your Diwali gifting woes this season.
 
Folding Treadmill:
 
 
Giving motivation to stay physically active isone of the best gifts of health we can give to anyone. So, if you want to inspire someone into fitness, gifting them a space-saving folding treadmill is the best way to nudge them to begin their fitness journey. A folding treadmill makes for an A+ gift asit not only encourages them to work out regularly, but that too from within the comfort of their homes. Ideal for small spaces, since it can effortlessly slip under a couch or bed and be moved from room to room with minimal effort, a folding treadmill is sure to make anyone happier, fitter and healthier.
 
Mindfulness Cards:
 
 
The zen practice of mindfulness can be simply defined as being fully aware of your present moment. Research has shown that practising mindfulness can help with a variety of issues, including stress, substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, and depression. It helps to regulate emotions and also boost cognitive abilities. Hence a set of colourful mindfulness cards that contain brief mindfulness exercises might be just the apt gift to cheer someone up during this festive season.
