5 Healthy Gift Ideas Around the Holidays

Healthy Gift Idea # 1

Herbs & Spices

Getting your loved ones new herbs and spices for the holidays can encourage them to cook healthy meals more. Who wouldn’t want to cook with some brand new, yummy spices?

Healthy Gift Idea # 2

Herbal Teas

A nice hot cup of herbal tea is a great gift idea that can go over well during these colder months. Pick up a tin of tea blends, just don’t forget to check and see if they have sugars or sweeteners in the ingredients list.

Healthy Gift Idea # 3

Water glasses

Everyone should try to drink half of their body weight in ounces of water per day. What motivates someone more to drink water than a brand new set of water glasses?

Healthy Gift Idea # 4

Engaging board games

While this isn’t a healthy food or drink option, board games can be healthy for your mind. Motivate your kids to challenge themselves by picking up a trivia board game to gift them this year.

Healthy Gift Idea # 5

Dark chocolate

If you are going to pick up chocolate for someone, pick up dark chocolate. Dark chocolate can actually be nutritious. It holds a fair amount of fiber and minerals. It just needs to be consumed with portion control in mind, like most foods. This can be a very easy gift to pick up at the last minute.
