7 Ideas to Give the Gift of Health this Holiday Season

The holiday season is truly about giving! It is only natural to put a lot of thought into your gifts to be sure that the special person receiving your present is more than just pleased.

This year give something different by considering a holiday gift that inspires health and wellness for the ones you love.

Here are some of my favorites:

1. Veggetti™: Fake it til’ you make it with this amazing tool that can turn some of your favorite vegetables into spaghetti! Simply push your squash, zucchini, carrots, or cucumber through Veggetti and twist.  You will be left with spaghetti-like strands of your favorite vegetables.  By changing the appearance of your veggies you will think you are eating a satisfying bowl of pasta while also fitting in a couple servings of low calorie, nutrient dense vegetables!

 2. Seedout:  Does someone you know love pomegranates?  Well if they do, I am sure they are familiar with the mess one can make trying to deseed this delicious fruit.  Seedout makes de-seeding the pomegranate much easier than deseeding it in a bowl of water.  Better yet, it will hold onto the fruit’s juices so nutrients are not lost.  A perfect gift for a fellow fruit lover!

3. 3 in 1 Avocado Tool by Casabella:  This gift will excite all avocado lovers.  This tool not only scoops out the avocado seed, but also mashes and chops your avocado to leave you with perfect pretty avocado slices.

4. George Forman Grill:  During the cold months, no one I know wants to stand out in the cold, harsh weather conditions to grill up chicken or steak. For the grill lover, give a gift of a George Forman Grill and make summer creations all year round in the warmth of your own home. http://www.georgeforemancooking.com/

5. Water Flavor Infuser Pitcher: Water is one of the most important beverages you can drink to keep you hydrated, keep your skin clear and help you manage your weight.  Many people who struggle with drinking enough water throughout the day complain that they need a drink that has flavor.  This water flavor infuser will make you eager to drink water, by allowing you to infuse the natural flavors of berries, cucumbers, tea, mint, lemon, oranges or any other fruit and vegetable you like into your water to make it anything but boring.  There are several on the market so just do a google search.

6. Make a Motivational Gift Basket:  Not one gift, but a basket full of healthy gifts is perfect for your health conscious friend or family member. Items I would consider adding are a reusable plastic water bottle, printed recipes you think he or she would like, flavored tea, a veggie brush, a yoga mat and daily calendar with inspirational quotes.  The beauty of this gift is that it is personalized to make everyone feel special!

7. Exercise Devices:  There are so many options to choose for those who are active. Head to your local sporting goods store and select items such as headphones, exercise bands, gym bags, a set of dumbells, yoga mats, jump ropes, stability balls, exercise clothing, or home workout videos.  There is so much to give to the fitness lover in your life.

I hope these gift ideas will help you in your last minute holiday gift hunt. Remember, there is a healthy holiday gift idea for everyone and there is no better gift than the gift of health to ring in the New Year!

What do you hope to receive this year?
