Hello there!
If you are like me, you have already started window shopping for holiday gifts and feel the pressure to start buying. In the not so distant past, I used to procrastinate on my holiday shopping until the last minute and have been that person in the mall-madness the night before Christmas. Yes I am ashamed and yes I have changed my ways! If you are ready to buy and need help deciding what to get, I am here to help.
Recently, I posted a 2 question poll on my Insta-stories to find out who my followers have the most trouble gift shopping for. Between the tech lover and the health obsessed friend, almost 90% of voters said it is harder to shop for their healthy lifestyle loved ones. And between the fashionable picky friend and the minimalist friend, almost 80% said the picky fashionista is harder to shop for. SO I am here to help with your shopping need, and you won’t even have to leave the comfy seat on your couch. I will start with the gifts for our clean eating, clean living, low carbon footprint homies. Try to resist the urge to buy for yourself as well, as I will. And keep your eyes peeled for the upcoming post about fashionista-approved holiday gifts.

1. Alkalizing water bottles or water filter
Many of you may have heard that alkaline water is better for your body than typical water and many health focused websites highly recommend it. Some say it can slow down the aging process, help with acid reflux, detoxification, prevent chronic diseases like cancer, and so on. The term alkaline refers to the pH of the water, which is usually between 8 and 9 in alkaline water. Normal water has a pH of 7. Many health advocates believe this will neutralize the acidity in your body. Long story short, there is not enough studies out to support or dismiss the claims but many health professionals recommends making the switch. Some companies ship out alkaline water, some healthy super markets sell it and many filters on the market are expensice. Below I will like to some affordable alkaline filter options that would make awesome gifts for your healthy loved one.
This “Letigo Alkaline Water Stick pH Hydrogen negative ion ionizer wand” filter stick is my top pick in this category because of its size convenience, ease of use, and longevity! Click the image above to read more details about how and why it works! Below are my top alternatives.
2. Alarm clock dumbbells
Dumbells have been around FOREVER so I do not have to describe too much what these are and their benefits. Alarm clocks are also nothing to go into too much detail about. Both are important to the busy fit gals and guys, and in many cases, they are both used daily so why not combine the two! What I love about this product is that the owner has to actually do reps with the dumbells to turn the alarm off. There will be no more skipping weights with these!

3. Lemon Tree
Aside from aesthetics, house plants benefit the home in many ways. Some of which are to reduce carbon dioxide levels, reduce airborne dust particles, reduces levels of pollutants (like nitrogen dioxide and benzines, and the list goes on. Common potted green plants are great but a potted plant that is functional is even better! It is common to see herb garens in kitchens but help spice up your loved ones house with a functional lemon tree. They are typically relatively small so they make great potted trees and lemons searve many purposes around the house. It is also a great conversation piece when they entertain guests. Clementine trees are also a great choice.

5. Sunlight desk lap
Full spectrum sunlight lamps offer ideal light for reading and focusing on small details. It can also have light therapy benefits for individuals with SAD (seasonally affective depression) which is very common and typically occurs during the time of the year when sunlight is less. Some have noticed an increase in mood and focus in people with SAD and the elderly community. It is also a mood booster for the every day individual who is sick of the artificial light they get for hours at a time at work or at home.

6. Blender sports bottle
We all know that our healthy friends and family love a good green smoothie or other nutritious blended delicacies. I know personally sometimes I do not have to time to pull out the large blender or nutribullet, pour it into a to-go container, clean up and so on. SO I love the option of a portable blender in a travel sized sports bottle. Its perfect for the busy fit mom, student or workaholic. I may get one myself!
