‘Tis the seasons for holiday shopping! It’s crazy that the holidays are just around the corner! Thanksgiving is just next week, after all, and it’s time to start brainstorming and thinking about holiday gifts for your friends and loved ones.
Do you have a friend or family member who is all things health & wellness? If so, I have the perfect gift guide for them, or perhaps even for yourself! I know that I personally tend to dive into anything that helps me relax, destress, and unwind. Instead of walking around the mall in circles trying to find that special gift this holiday season, check out my gift guide for health and wellness lovers below!
Everything below can be found on Amazon. If you’re a last-minute shopper, don’t fret. You’re in luck because most of these items are Prime-eligible!

Here are my top health & wellness gifts for this holiday season:
Meditation Cushion
Meditating is one of my favorite hobbies! I try to meditate on a daily basis. Support and comfort are key when sitting for extended periods of time. If you have a friend who is interested in meditation, a meditation cushion is a must-have. They can be a decorative addition to your home and a visible reminder to take that much needed time for yourself.
Mindful & Modern Large Zafu Meditation Cushion (multiple colors)
Mindful & Modern VELVET Meditation Cushion (multiple colors)
Acupressure Mat
I haven’t personally tried an acupressure mat, however, this product is now on my Christmas list! These mats are said to specifically relieve back and neck pain while reducing aches, stress, and tension across your body. Other benefits include improved sleep, circulation, and mood as well as increased levels of energy.
Nayoya Acupressure Mat (and pillow)
Prosource Acupressure Mat & Pillow (multiple colors)
Ajna Acupressure Mat (multiple colors)
Essential Oils
Are you familiar with aromatherapy? Aromatherapy is a wellness treatment that uses natural plant oils to promote healing. Certain oils relax your body and mind, while other oils are used to rejuvenate, energize, and lift your mood. I love putting a few drops of oil (in combination with water) into a diffuser (see below). These gift sets make for great stocking stuffers!
Organic Essential Oils Set (8-pack)
Rescue Essential Oil Roller Set
Essential Oil Diffuser
Make your home a mini-spa with an essential oil diffuser! I love meditating or relaxing while having my diffuser on. Typically I use lavender oil, but you can use any essential oil of your choice depending on your mood. The aroma from the diffuser creates a calming effect in your home especially when you are feeling burned out and stressed. It’s a great gift to give to that special friend who can’t seem to relax.

ASAKUNI Essential Oil Diffuser (multiple colors)
Ultimate Aromatherapy Diffuser & Essential Oil SET (includes 10 essential oils!)
Jade Roller or Rose Quartz Roller
These gifts are perfect for beauty lovers! I love the cooling effect of my jade roller. I use it whenever I feel my face is puffy or tired-looking, as well as when I’m having a stay-at-home spa night.
Crystal rollers, such as jade and rose quartz, are used to drain your lymphatic system and eliminate toxins. These rollers reduce puffiness, dark eye circles, redness, and irritation while leaving your skin with a radiant glow. Not to mention, these rollers help with anti-aging.
The main difference between jade and rose quartz is that jade has warming properties and tends to warm your skin, while rose quartz remains cool while using it. Rose quartz is also better known for its wrinkle-reducing benefits.
I purchased this jade roller below on Amazon. Pro tip: keep it in your fridge. It feels even more amazing when cold!
GingerChi also makes a Rose Quartz Roller, however, here is another positively reviewed brand:

Eye Pillow
I haven’t used this specific eye pillow, however, I own a similar lavender eye mask, and it is a life-saver when it comes to headaches and migraines. It has both hot and cold capabilities, so you can put it in your freezer or microwave it before using it. I also love these because you can easily throw them in your bag while traveling. This also makes for a great stocking stuffer!
Happy Wraps Lavender Eye Pillow (multiple colors)
Nutribullet
I’ve been using the NutriBullet blender for several years now. It’s BY FAR my favorite kitchen appliance. I make green smoothies in my NutriBullet on the reg, but it’s also perfect for making soups, hummus, sauces, etc. I must say, it’s pretty powerful for a small blender. I think it’s ideal for someone who lives alone/cooks for one and doesn’t want an overly complex blender.
NutriBullet Pro (13-Piece) High-Speed Blender
Juicer
Although I personally prefer to make smoothies in my Nutribullet. Juicers make a great gift for someone who loves fresh juice and wants to reap the significant health benefits. They say juicing can boost your immune system, remove toxins from your body, aid digestion, and even help you lose weight.
Breville BJE200XL Compact Juice Fountain
Crystal Water Bottle
Not only are these water bottles pretty, but they also have healing properties. Each crystal or stone is unique and has a different meaning. Rose quartz is the stone of universal love, and it strengthens and balances the heart. Clear quartz is the most powerful crystal. It’s known as the “master of healing,” as it helps align one’s energy and intentions. These water bottles are perfect gifts for those interested in yoga and/or energy work!
Meditation, Gratitude or Daily Journal
Researchers have found that people who write about gratitude are more hopeful and feel better about their lives in general. I have a whole post on how keeping a gratitude journal changed my life. I love journaling, and I think giving the gift of a journal is a very sweet gesture. This journal I listed below has it all; it’s a daily positivity journal for happiness, wellness, gratitude, and self-care. What better time than the holidays to give this meaningful gift to a special friend or loved one!
The Best Journal Ever (inspirational, guided journal)
I also have a separate blog post on my favorite self-help books that have really impacted my life. Self-help and other health & wellness books make lovely gifts as well!
I hope this gift guide inspires you to buy the perfect present for your loved ones…or for yourself! I’m definitely one to treat myself now and then. Happy holidays and happy shopping! 🙂
