6 Great Health and Fitness Gifts to Give or Get

Trying to lose weight and get fit? During this holiday season, don’t be afraid to ask for gifts that will really help you reach your goals. Put those Fitbits, scales, blenders and meal prep boxes on your list. Let your friends and family know what you need. For example, there were times when a gift card to Whole Foods would have been much more helpful to me than a Target card. Let your desires be known.

Also, giving fitness and health focused gifts can be a great way to encourage the people in your life who are working hard to create a healthy lifestyle. You can show the ones you love that you support them and want to encourage their efforts. Just make sure that the person you’re gifting would is open to the gift and will not see it as an insult. (Be thoughtful) Here are 6 great gift suggestions:

An elegant or fashionable fitness tracker band

Fitness tracker wristbands can be very boring or even uncomfortable. There are some great looking bands out there that can upgrade your fitness tracker. Do your research: Some bands have magnet closures that could damage computers.

Subscription for a magazine focused on healthy recipes

This gift is great for anyone who is on a weight loss journey or anyone who loves to cook. There are magazines, like Weight Watchers and Clean Eating Magazine, that are more weight loss and fitness focused. A subscription to a magazine with a more general focus on healthy cooking, like Eating Well or Cooking Light, is great for any one who enjoys cooking great meals.

Meal Prep Bags

This is a great gift for anyone you know who is into meal prepping or meal planning. It’s also great for busy moms who have to take food on the go and people who work the late shift who don’t have a lot of options for healthy food late at night.

Subscription to a meal box service

The gift of a meal prep box is great for people pursing a healthy lifestyle, but it’s also a great gift for new moms, grandparents, people who are going through a rough patch emotionally and any one who lives a super busy lifestyle. It’s a unique and special gift.

Hello Fresh is my favorite meal box service – “Chef curated recipes based on seasonal farm fresh ingredients delivered every week to your doorstep.”

Blenders and Food Processors

This is another item that can be expensive when it comes to getting a high powered, quality machine. Why not ask Santa to put one under your tree?

Exercise equipment

Buying fitness equipment for use at home can be expensive, especially if you are putting together a home gym. Let your friends and family know what you need or what stores you’d like gift cards from.
