Best Healthy Food Gifts
Food gifts are common during the holidays, and just because you want your friend or family member to be healthy doesn’t mean you need to skip the food gifts. Here are some of our suggestions for healthy food gifts.
Fruit and Nut Platter
You can’t go wrong with this fruit and nut platter as it is both healthy and something a little bit special for the holiday season. There are several different sizes to choose from, and you can have it delivered directly to the recipient keeping your gift-giving low stress!
Oh! Nuts Basket
While dried fruit is great, you may need to send a gift that is a little less perishable. In that case, we recommend this Oh! Nuts! Basket, which includes 7 different types of nuts. It’s the perfect gift for a teacher, coworker, or even your boss!
Christmas Tea
Skip the bottle of wine you are thinking of buying a friend and instead get them the gift of Christmas Tea. Next to water, tea is one of the healthiest beverages that has no sugar (as long as you don’t add any) and is full of antioxidants. Buy a nice set, and your friend or family member will enjoy your gift all winter.
Best Gifts for Someone on a Diet
Fitbit
A Fitbit is a total game changer when it comes to weight loss. Who knew you could get so much information from such a small device? From tracking workouts to sleep, to even helping manage stress, the Fitbit is our top healthy gift this holiday season.
A Healthy Cookbook
Sticking to a diet is hard during the holiday season, so consider getting your loved one a cookbook to help them find the best recipes using healthy ingredients. Well-Plated is one of our favorites, or you can look for one for a specific diet like pre-diabetes.
New Sportswear Apparel
As someone loses weight, they will find that their old clothes don’t fit anymore. Therefore to continue to encourage them on their journey, you should purchase them some nice sportswear!
For gifts for her, we recommend purchasing a cute set like this Quinsen set in her favorite color and then perhaps grabbing a hoodie, like those we offer in our merch section, to toss over it in the cold months.
For gifts for him, we recommend a nice Adidas jacket with matching pants. This way, he won’t have to worry about matching as he works out in style!
Nutribullet
A Nutribullet is a small personal blender that can be used to make all sorts of shakes and smoothies. Not only that, but you can also use them to make healthy soups! The uses for them are unlimited, and they’re small and portable, making them a great gift for someone on the go.
Fitness Tracking Book
Looking for a stocking stuffer? This nutrition and fitness tracking book is the perfect small gift to give on Christmas morning! It will allow your loved one to keep a journal of what they eat, when they work out, and they can track their results.
Best Gifts for Someone Trying to Lose Weight
Walking Shoes
One of the hardest things about working out is finding the right shoes to do it in. Many people don’t realize that in order to protect their joints, they need to invest in a nice pair of shoes like those from Brooks or New Balance.
Order a nice pair for your family member who is trying to lose weight this year, and don’t worry if they don’t fit, as Amazon has a great return policy.
Workout Equipment
Many people who are just beginning their weight loss journey lack equipment, making it hard to work out at home. Amazon has a ton of products to choose from, meaning you can get them weights, resistance bands, or even a bench to add to their home gym.
Cool Water Bottle
A major aspect of weight loss is drinking more water and fewer sugary drinks. This can be easier when your loved one has a cool water bottle to carry around with them during the day. Hydro cell makes one of our favorite bottles, or you can grab one with the RxHealthyHabits Logo from our site.
Yoga Mat
Even if your loved one isn’t practicing yoga, a yoga mat is a great addition to any home. It can be used for stretching or weight lifting as needed. They come in lots of colors, and you can even find some that come in cool designs.
Workout Cards
Because working out is part of a lifelong commitment, the basic workouts can get a little boring. Spice up your loved one’s workouts with these workout cards that can be drawn at random to design a fun workout. While this gift isn’t recommended for those just starting their weight loss journey, it is a good idea for those who have been working on theirs for a while!
What Not to Buy this Holiday Season
We hope that you now have all the ideas you need to buy your friends and family members some awesome healthy gifts this holiday season! As a reminder, it is never recommended to purchase weight loss supplements or other items that claim they will help an individual lose weight fast. These rarely work, and they may even cause harm to the body. Instead, stick to uplifting your friends and family members through their weight loss journey with the above gifts!
