Nine Christmas gifts for health and wellness lovers

From athleisure gear to boxing training, indulge in health this Christmas

From athleisure gear to boxing training, indulge in health this Christmas

Pumpkin spice lattes, mince pies and mistletoe, and just like that, it’s the most wonderful time of the year again. I love Christmas and everything that comes with it – who doesn’t?

It is, however, also the time of the year where we tend to over-consume; this applies to mulled wine and gifting alike. And as a result, our hearts maybe fuller, but we often end up with a few more inches around the waistline and extra clutter in our spaces.

The good news is, the holidays don’t have to be all about the consumption of more “stuff”. I’ve rounded up a list of fantastic gift ideas that are meant to facilitate self-care and a sense of well-being for a healthier and happier 2018. While everyone may have a different definition of healthy living, these products or experiences are a healthy addition to any lifestyle.

Health tonics: Tizzy shots

Created in small batches and sustainably sourced, Tizzy shots are all-natural elixirs full of antioxidants and bioactive ingredients that can be sipped on the go or mixed into teas and cocktails. Their signature ginger shot will keep you buzzing for hours.
