We’ve compiled a list of stress-relieving Christmas gift ideas to make your life easier this year. If you plan ahead a bit, you can take some time to actually enjoy the silly season, while making some healthy choices for your friends and family in the process.

Here are our 10 healthy Christmas gift ideas:

1. Personalised Water Bottle: Our bodies are made up of over 70% water, and without proper hydration to keep us in balance, all number of undesirable outcome can unfold – fatigue, low immunity and decrease in concentration to name a few. I commonly come across customers that are simple not drinking enough water. A beautifully personalised water bottle is the ideal gift to encourage one to keep hydrated and healthy.

2. Healthy Recipe Cook Book – The Healthy Meal Prep Cook Book  that offers over one hundred whole food recipes that can be made with easy, practical meal preparation, including wild blueberry whole-grain scones, carrot-cabbage slaw, lighter fish cakes, and slow-cooker beef stew.
