Healthy Gift Ideas

I love giving interesting gifts that inspire health!

Here’s my favorites list for you:

And, just to be totally up front – I’m an affiliate of some of these products (because I love them so!) – but not all of them.

VEGGIDOME: Think fruit bowl but for veggies – that actually keeps your veggies fresh as they sit out on the table!

Food psychologists (people who study our eating habits) say that we are more likely to reach for food that is in plain view!

What that means is that if there are boxes of cereal or pretzels or candy on the counter we’re more likely to reach for those if we’re a bit peckish, that also means that if there are beautiful fresh veggies available on the countertop for us, we’re more likely to reach for that!

I’m personally in love with my veggidome, more veggies get eaten in my house when the veggidome is full of fresh veg on the kitchen table. When my husband and kids walk in looking for a snack, they reach for the veg in the veggidome because it’s easy – and of course delicious and nutritious!

Mantrabands – Jewelry with a message of love, compassion and consciousness.

I love these simple and elegant bracelets.

They come in silver and gold finishes, and have messages that are timeless and powerful.

My favorites are the “BREATHE” and “I AM ENOUGH” bracelets. They are great and important reminders…the perfect gift for girlfriends and sisters – and of course, yourself!

I adore the simplicity and practicality of these Garden-In-A-Can!

Just open the can and add water and voila – you are a gardener and have delicious fresh herbs to cook with. There’s nothing like fresh herbs to zing up a meal!

They make a perfect hostess gift!

And they come with Amazon-Prime – which means you’ve got a gift on hand tomorrow!

I’m ordering extras for those last minute – “oh crap, I wish I had a gift” moments!

Pressure Cooker- Give the gift of healthy meals in 20 minutes!

My pressure cooker is my secret to a healthy dinner on the table in 20 minutes!

There is a new generation of pressure cookers that are easy and super-safe to use. This Kuhn Rikon is a top of the line pressure cooker. It will last for years and years. Please get the big 8.5 quart size – you’ll thank me later, when you’ve got leftovers ready to go in the freezer 😉

Then get my favorite Lorna Sass recipe book to go with it: Great Vegetarian Cooking Under Pressure.

Nordic Poles:

My current favorite way to get moving is to walk with Nordic Poles.

They are basically fancy ski poles that supercharge your walk.

Nordic Poles engage the whole body, ramp up your cardio experience, and strengthen your core – all while you are out in nature – and hopefully chatting with someone you love!

ReCap Mason Jars

The ReCap Lid turns any Mason or Ball Jar into a drinking and pouring jar.

I use this lid with a big Ball jar to take my green smoothies on the road. I also use it for easy storage of dressings and sauce in the fridge. It closes really securely – no leaking!

Pure Water!

This year my husband and I are giving each other the oh-so-romantic gift of pure water!

I know it doesn’t sound glam, but we’ve really been wanting a Multi-Pure water purifier in our bathroom for a long time. We already have a Multi-Pure filter in our kitchen.

If you’re ready to drink the best water ever – from your tap – ditch the bottles and pitchers. I highly recommend Multi-Pure Water Filters. I’ve had one hooked up to my kitchen tap for 17 years, and it’s never let me down. I only have to change the filter once a year.

They are super helpful at Multi-Pure compnay and can walk you through what filter is right for your home.

My mom used to make the most amazing meals in the clay baker. She would toss in a whole chicken surround it with veggies and a while later, the most sumptuous meals would emerge from the oven!

If you know of someone who could use some easy and healthy inspiration in the kitchen – the clay baker is it.

We don’t eat meat, so I toss in veggies, a little olive oil and sea salt and out comes incredibly moist and deeply flavorful veg!

Herbal Remedies Kit &
Herb Learning Game

I recently discovered LearningHerbs.com.

They’re a small family company with a mission to spread knowledge that will help people stay healthy, and empower them with skills to treat common illnesses naturally.

I love giving activity gifts! So, I’m getting a couple of gifts from LearningHerbs.com for my kids (but I’m not telling which – I don’t want to ruin the surprise)!

I am REALLY into mushrooms! They are so powerfully healing for our bodies!

Shiitake mushrooms in particular boost the immune system! They are packed with minerals (like copper and selenium) that you don’t find in other foods as readily.

These versatile mushrooms which are delicious in any stir-fry, discourage inflammation, tumors, “bad” bacteria, harmful viruses, and, funny enough – fungus.

So really, what could be better than a Shiitake Mushroom Log! It’s fun -’cause you watch it grow – then you get to eat it and it makes you healthier!!!

These are all fun and health inspiring gifts, and I hope you enjoy them all.

But the real gift is you loving and caring for yourself – because then everyone gets a gift!
