The best picks for health & wellness gifts
1. Vornado Lucerna 2 humidifier
Humidifiers aren’t just for cold and flu season. If you live in a drier climate, or if you have issues with your indoor air, skin or sinus issues, you should consider running a humidifier year-round. But, not just any humidifier. The Lucerna 2 is an ultrasonic humidifier in the Vornado Alchemy collection that isn’t just functional, it’s also beautiful. Yes, I know that’s a strange word to use for a small electric, but this is no typical humidifier.
The Lucerna 2 is pretty straight out of the box, but once you fill it and plug it in, it creates a mesmerizing display of mist and light unlike any other humidifier. With 3 brightness settings you can either make it a feature of the room or you can keep it dim for sleeping. Yes, it’s also fully functional in addition to being lovely to look at, and probably light years more advanced than your typical cold and flu model. With a 1-gallon tank, it boasts a 24-hour runtime on low and a 12-hour runtime on high, giving you a comfortable environment with minimal fills.
In addition to all the reasons I stated above, my favorite use of the Lucerna 2 humidifier is to keep my plants healthy year-round. Most of my houseplants are tropical varieties, and they prefer a much more humid environment than Washington can give them, which is why I first looked into humidifiers. Having one this pretty means I don’t have to deal with an ugly eyesore of a machine, which means I’ll leave it out all year. And, using it everyday isn’t just helpful for my health, it’s also helpful for my plant health, too.
To buy, visit Vornado.com. Be sure to follow them on social media: instagram, and facebook.
2. Mindfulness journal/Grateful journal
A few years ago, I decided to start grateful journals as a family. It was honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made. This goes for the kids as well as for myself. These little books have since become some of our most favorite things we own, as I love reflecting on their gratitude and reading how much they care for each other, their family, and their friends.
Another bonus: starting a few days a week with a grateful entry seems to make a big difference in how I feel, and how the kids react to things that are big and hard. Honestly, these past few years were so hard for our whole family. Harder than I ever anticipated. We lost so many loved ones, and my heart aches for all the hugs we missed, and now will forever miss. Choosing to be grateful for those that we still have with us, and the good things has made this really hard year bearable.
Admittedly, pretty much anything can be a grateful/mindfulness journal, you don’t need anything fancy. But, take my advice and get some journals you love because you will definitely want to keep yours {and your kids’} journals forever.
3. Emma Hybrid Comfort mattress
Most people don’t think enough about their space where they spend 7-8 hours of their day, every single day. But, in terms of health & wellness gifts, you really can’t do any better than a top-of-the-line mattress. So many issues are acerbated by lack of sleep, and so many conditions can arise from bad sleep, and yet beds are an often an afterthought at best.
And, I hadn’t thought much about it, either, until I broke my tailbone and then found our old mattress extremely uncomfortable, even after the bone healed. After some thought, we decided wanted something different: something softer than our Tempur-pedic, but still with no motion transfer. Something cooling would be ideal, but maybe not an entirely memory foam mattress this time.
So, this time we went with something we’d never tried before: a bed in a box. Before you caution me about how much you hated your bed in a box, I will tell you: the Emma is different. I heard every horror story out there, from mattress that never aired out and always had a weird tire-like smell, to ones that collapsed at the edges, and ones that were burning hot all night, and ones that were rock hard and impossible to sleep on.
Maybe it’s different because the Emma Hybrid Comfort has a whopping 7 layers that give you the best qualities of memory foam with edge-to-edge pocket spring technology and plush layers that give you a more traditional mattress feel. It’s a best-of-both-worlds comfort that supports every part of your body, all night long. And, I am happy to report that not one of my well-meaning friends were correct about *this* bed in a box.
To the person who worried it would be too hot, the breezy AIRGOCELL Foam is very temperature-regulating, and the UltraDry Cover kept it feeling cool all night. To the person who warned me about the smell, I actually didn’t notice any distinct odor at all. It was a slight “new” smell for an hour or two, and then nothing after that. Definitely not worth worrying about. To those who said the mattress would be too hard, I didn’t find that to be the case at all. To those worried about the edge of the mattress, I found it comparable to many inner spring mattresses. Definitely not an issue for me at all, and not enough to make me unhappy with the mattress.
Truly, everything I was warned about wasn’t even a second thought for me once the mattress was unboxed and took shape. If you are thinking a big gift this year, whether it’s for you and your spouse, or it’s moving a kid up into a bigger, more grown up room, the Emma might just be your perfect fit. They have 3 mattress options that are all shipped in a box right to your door, which means it’s a quick and easy process that can have you sleeping on a new mattress within a week.

4. Hatch Restore Smart Sleep Assistant
Are you ready for amazing sleep? The Hatch Restore combines a sound machine, sunrise alarm, smart light, meditation app, and an alarm clock into one smart sleep assistant that can help with falling asleep, staying asleep, and then helping you wake up naturally. It truly is the all-in-one sleep solution you’ve been looking for.
The Hatch Restore works by helping you create a smart sleep routine, encouraging you to wind down, sleep through the night, and then wake refreshed. It has meditations and sleep stories to calm your mind, relaxing sounds and white noise to drown out distractions, and then a sunrise alarm to help wake you gently each morning. I love that it also has a soft-glow reading light {without blue light hues that keep you awake} and a digital clock display that dims as you sleep. There’s an expandable library of sleep content with the Hatch Sleep Membership, and it can all be controlled easily through the Hatch app.
To buy the Hatch Restore, you can purchase right off their website {currently on sale for the holidays}. Be sure and follow them on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
5. Loloma Coconut Oil
If you’re looking to gift an all-around everything moisturizer, Loloma Coconut Oil is the perfect choice. Loloma Coconut Oil is derived from a specific breed of coconuts, Fijian Talls, which are specific only to Fiji. These coconuts are sourced from the precious and pristine 100-year-old plantations where the air is crisp, clean sea breezes flow through, and beautiful sunshine is abundant.
Loloma also has many uses and beauty benefits and can be used as a shower moisturizer, as hair conditioner, as a makeup remover, as a facial moisturizer, and to repair cracked heels and skin. It’s so gentle you can use it for babies’ delicate skin for head-to-toe coverage, including cradle cap, diaper rash, for eczema, and just for daily massage.
Loloma is high in antioxidants and helps to restore skins PH levels, making the skin feel velvety smooth and non-greasy, unlike other moisturizers. They carefully remove all impurities to reduce the smell to a light fragrance, which makes it the best coconut oil for all-over care. I love that they don’t use the bleaching process most coconut oils have to whiten their oils. Instead, Lomoma is completely chemical-free, making Loloma naturally clear and pure.
To buy Loloma Pure Virgin Coconut Oil you can shop their website. Be sure and follow them on social media: Instagram and Facebook.
6. Nebulyft R1C Micro-RF skincare system
The Nebulyft brand is on a mission to revolutionize skincare on the go. With two new beauty devices released this year, they are set to shake up the space by offering luxury skincare in the comfort of your home – and away. The California-based company is dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace their natural beauty and feel confident at every stage of life, all with a soothing self-care routine that is relaxing and enjoyable.
The Nebulyft uses 192 Gold Micro-RF dots to promote collagen cell regeneration. It has five adjustable levels of RF energy provide deep, effective treatments. Precise temperature controls give you gentle and safe heat, which gives you an even more relaxing experience. But, know what’s even more relaxing? Not having to schedule office visits for facials and skin issues, since the Nebulyft R1C is designed not just for home use, but also for use on the go when you’re traveling and on the road.
Unpacking the Nebulyft R1C was a joy. Not only is the box and packaging extremely well done, the actual Nebulyft wand is a pretty rosé color. The wireless charging station for the R1C was also a nice surprise, as I love that I don’t need to plug it in after every use, I can just set it on the charging station and it will automatically charge.
The R1C claims to provide quick hydration to your skin, which reduces swelling and dark circles as well as improving complexion. As someone who is known for staying up much too late and getting only a fraction of the sleep I require, I was especially excited about this claim.
The second claim is reducing appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in only 7 days of use. While I don’t have a lot of issues with either right now, I’m really set on keeping it that was as long as possible. I won’t be able to give you the full report of whether this is true or not as I don’t have wrinkles to fix, I can tell you that my skin looks brighter and firmer, which I love.

7. UVCeed
A major part of health and wellness is prevention. Whether that’s a good diet, getting plenty of sleep, or it’s washing your hands, there should be more emphasis on prevention when talking health and wellness. And, that’s where UVCeed comes in.
UVCeed is the future of disinfecting, and it’s 99.99% effective. The UVCeed unit isn’t for your body, rather it’s for surfaces, both soft and hard. I’ve talked about UVC wands and UVC sanitizing units in the past, and I’ve even talked about UVC vacuums. But, like I said, this is the future of disinfecting. The UVCeed unit attaches to your phone and allows you to point and scan to disinfect surfaces and more in seconds.
One of the issues I’d run into in the past with UVC wands and units is that you don’t know exactly what area you’re hitting or how long that particular surface should be targeted. Instead of just hoping that the UVC light is hitting where you want it to and for how long you want it to, now you can actually target where you’d like to disinfect and leave it there the proper amount of time.
Using its patented smart technology that guides you through the treatment process, you can watch as pathogens and germs get destroyed in augmented reality. Since the UVCeed scans the surface, it tells you the recommended time to leave it pointed at the object, as well as being able to pause treatment if something that should not be disinfected is detected.
Like I said, it’s the future.
Read up more about how the UVCeed works right on the UVCeed.com website. The science is fascinating, but they can explain it much better than I ever could. Be sure and follow them on social media: instagram and twitter.
8. Evive Nutrition
Evive blender-free smoothies are exactly what it sounds like. They are delicious ingredients packed into frozen cubes, which you then pop into your cup and cover with liquid of your choice. After a few minutes, you simply shake or stir, and you have a delicious smoothie ready to enjoy, no blender required.
It’s health & wellness, easy. Each smoothie mix is made with wholesome fruits and vegetables, and superfoods, making it easy to prepare a healthy meal in minutes.
How to order: Hop onto the evive site and choose your plan with either the 15 product or 25 product delivery. Then choose whatever flavors strike your fancy until you hit your delivery amount. You can add some of the Energizing Line or the Extra Protein Line, mixing and matching whatever sounds best that month. You can skip or cancel at any time you’d like, or you can set up a reoccurring order and never have to think about it again.

9. Manta Sleep Masks
Whether your recipient is off schedule from work or travel, or just desperately needs some downtime, the Manta sleep mask is the perfect solution. Perfect for traveling when you need to sleep in the air, as well as for taking an afternoon nap when you’ve got a long night ahead of you, the Manta sleep mask is here for you.
I chose the Manta silk, steam & ice bundle because it’s so much more than just a sleep mask. Of course, it has the classic SILK mask that customers rave about, but it also includes extra cups for hot and cold. You can use the COOL eye cups that you can freeze to soothe eyes and sinuses, or you can use the STEAM eye cups in the microwave to moisturize and refresh your eyes.
I think we’re all suffering a bit from all the colds and sinus problems that we avoided for two years but now are back in full-swing now that travel is booming and schools are open. Between colds and fevers and ear infections as well as the standard migraine attack, these are already getting good use around here. I’ve founds that having the Manta Silk, Steam & Ice bundle to help us feel better is a really great thing.
You can shop the Silk, Steam & Ice Bundle at Manta Sleep. Be sure and follow them on Facebook and Instagram.
10. Three Peaks Manuka Honey
Have you been curious about manuka honey and the benefits? Manuka Honey contains over 200 compounds not found in other honeys and is valued for its healing health and wellness properties. Three Peaks is a premium UMF certified Manuka Honey from the central plateau of New Zealand, which is why they made our list of favorite health & wellness gifts.
They have over 14,000 hives and have a completely transparent supply chain that goes straight from their own beehives to their extracting facility, then to jar. Three Peaks Manuka Honey then goes further and has all of their honey UMF certified with independent third-party tests for the “unique manuka factor” to ensure purity and quality standards.
Three Peaks Manuka Honey can be used to: support the respiratory system and ease coughs and colds, promote digestive and gastrointestinal health, act as an anti-inflammatory agent, improve dental health, feel full of energy, and help skin health and healing. You can eat it straight out of the jar on it own, dissolve it into hot drinks, use it to replace refined sugar or on desserts, and even drizzle it over your morning smoothie, fruit, yogurt or granola.
The UMF rating on each pack represents the proportion of unique signature compounds characterizing Manuka Honey that are present in each batch. In particular, the medicinal trilogy of Leptosperin, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Methylglyoxal (MGO) help make up the UMF rating. The higher the UMF rating, the higher concentration of the all the good stuff, and it is often even medical grade. Available in a UMF scale ranging from 5+ to 20+ in a variety of jar and single serve sizes, Three Peaks Honey is ideal for daily use for overall health and wellness.
You can buy Three Peaks Manuka Honey on Amazon. Be sure and follow Three Peaks on Instagram.
11. Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 eye massager
If you work at a computer all day, chances are you also suffer from strained and dry eyes… and probably headaches. It’s tempting to want to just go close your eyes and go tech-free to treat it, but 9 times out of 10, you will then just wake up with the same symptoms, even after an entire night of sleep.
Well, I used to. Now, I use the Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 eye massager and get immediate relief, that lasts.
The Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 eye massager is on a mission to bring relief to strained and dry eyes. The massager was developed by famous US physical therapists Bob and Brad, and uses heat and compression to stimulate the pressure points around the eyes. Not only does this improve blood circulation, it also provides a relaxing way to drift off for a meditation, a nap, or to sleep at night.
Built-in heating pads provide 2 heat levels with a comfortable temperature between 104℉-113℉, ideal for eye strain relief and dry eye. It might feel a bit strange at first, but trust me when I say that you will get over that quickly. It made the cut for favorite health & wellness gifts because it makes it so I don’t have to take medication nearly as frequently as I was before. That, to me, is a huge win.
Be sure and check out all of the health and wellness gifts from Bob and Brad on Amazon this holiday season. Be sure to follow them on YouTube as well.
